A new report from the United States has found that China could deploy laser weapons in space before 2030. The report, published by the Defense Intelligence Agency, said China, Russia, Iran and North Korea are developing, testing, deploying and using space capabilities in ways that threaten the security of all space systems and the associated … Read more
A hot potato: Today, many software developers spend weeks working on LeetCode issues just to get through a single round of interviews. An engineering manager at Anthropic has since stopped using this cartridge entirely. Claude, he says, is superior to most candidates when it comes to these puzzles. This manager is Felix Rieseberg. Among other … Read more
Companies scrambling to bring AI agents into production are finding that role-based access control, not model selection, determines whether these agents can be trusted. Rising inference costs, privacy concerns and sovereignty requirements are also drawing more AI workloads back into enterprise data centers. This shift favors companies that have spent years managing sensitive data at … Read more
The Technical University of Berlin has developed a new catalytic process for the complete decomposition of silicone waste. Everyday things like the silicone spatula in your mixing bowl, the leak-proof cap in your travel mug, and the soft pacifier that keeps a toddler calm all have a hidden downside. All are immortal. Silicones resist heat, … Read more
Companies have adopted AI for everyday tasks, but turning autonomous agents into measurable business returns is proving far more difficult. The bottleneck is no longer the technology, but the organizational changes required to realign the processes around it. Software providers are responding by combining their platforms with practical guidance. According to Eran Zinman (pictured), co-founder … Read more
Science is less about sudden discoveries and more about constant, often frustrating work. It progresses through failed experiments, results that need to be repeated, and questions that take years, sometimes decades, to answer. This category focuses on how scientific knowledge is built, tested, challenged, and refined over time. Interesting Engineering’s coverage includes fundamental and applied … Read more
PPE: Fake PlayStation 5 emulators hosted on GitHub spread malware that modifies Microsoft Defender settings before launching a suspected data theft program. The campaign exploits players’ willingness to experiment with unofficial software, making malicious downloads seem like a normal part of the process. It shows how well-known project names can gain users’ trust before they … Read more
Three people died after two helicopters collided in mid-air near an airport in Oregon on Thursday afternoon, October 29, prompting an investigation by federal aviation regulators. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), a Robinson R22 and an Airbus H125 helicopter were involved in the collision near McMinnville Municipal Airport, about 35 miles southwest of … Read more
As AI agents proliferate in enterprise operations, permission management becomes one of the most practical levers to secure them. Agents operate with the access people give them, so the old problem of broad privileges now occurs at machine speed. Governance is often seen as a brake on this dynamic, especially as labor platforms turn agents … Read more
In short: Data centers have already faced widespread opposition over their impact on electricity prices and water supplies, and estimates of how their energy use could affect carbon emissions have increased recently. However, due to uncertainty about renewable energy and how many data centers will actually be built in the next few years, forecasts vary … Read more
