![]() SpY Installs 20-Meter Black Triangle in Madrid’s Plaza de Cibeles to Question Urban SurveillanceThe temporary structure PANOPTICON, installed by Spanish artist SpY at Plaza de Cibeles, inverts the relationship between the observer and the observed through hidden cameras and screens. While making the widespread surveillance systems in cities visible, the work enables the viewer to interact directly with these mechanisms. |

RTÜK will monitor over 800 channels using the Via+ system, which can analyze 19,200 hours of speech per day, to detect violations. The system will automatically report violations under Law No. 6112, thereby accelerating oversight processes. |

Engineers design edge AI circuit to trigger emergency maneuvers during driver unresponsivenessThe research presents a hardware subsystem that requests a Minimum Risk Maneuver to bring the vehicle to a safe state in the event of driver drowsiness or unresponsiveness. This design was verified up to ASIC synthesis as an ASIC that manages the transition from warning to emergency intervention by evaluating CNN outputs and fatigue indicators. |
The article argues that the housing crisis is not only about supply and demand balance, but also about how space is designed and to whom it is offered. It emphasizes that architectural decisions determine the function of housing as a social infrastructure. |
Building Blocks
C vs Rust performance comparison in the SQLite parse_number extensionFour plugins performing the same function yielded consistent results in type safety and sensitivity tests. The optimized C version ran approximately twice as fast as the Rust versions, at 16-19 nanoseconds per line. |
Global Lens
Artificial intelligence is erasing the boundaries between the digital and physical worlds by increasing the frequency and effectiveness of cyberattacks. This marks the beginning of a new security era that leads to tangible damage in critical infrastructure such as food and energy. |
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk predicts that the computing power required to run superintelligence will be provided by data centers in space in the future. This claim signals a new dimension to competition in the sector, as Google and SpaceX accelerate their space-based infrastructure projects. |
In Europe, platforms offer a right to object instead of explicit consent for training artificial intelligence with personal data. This objection prevents future use but does not ensure the removal of the data from the model. |
The new model offers visual analysis and autonomous agent capabilities that can write its own code, enabling it to independently execute complex tasks. This development strengthens Alibaba's strategy to compete with rivals not only in benchmarks but also in real-world automation. |
According to IDC's FutureScape 2027 report, this rate, which is 13% in 2026, will rise to 60% by 2029. The speed at which companies integrate artificial intelligence into business processes is becoming more decisive than investments in human resources. |
Watch & Listen
Mihail Eric requires students in his CS146S course at Stanford to work with code agents to propose patches for open-source projects and explain these changes to maintainers. This approach ensures that students learn not only how to write code but also real-world engineering processes. |
Fun & Curious
The second-generation system developed by the Shanghai Merchant Ship Design and Research Institute reduced net energy consumption by approximately 5% by decreasing friction through air bubbles injected beneath the hull. This efficiency improvement carries the potential to save 1.1 tons of fuel per day on large tankers. |
