Chinese media is claiming that while investigating the far side of the moon, the country’s Yutu-2 lunar rover stumbled upon a unique “gel-like” substance of unknown origin sitting inside a small crater. Oh do bring it back to Earth - that always ends well

OK, everyone, just find and watch a copy of Allegro non Troppo[^], and stop panicking.
It's only litter.

This Google subsidiary is now turning to soccer game simulations as a way to train AI in a challenging, multiplayer environment that nevertheless has a certain level of predictability. Now we're going to get AI football hooligans
I guess the 'I' part and 'football hooligans' are somewhat contradictory?

While the Internet would eventually bring computer-based telecommunications to the masses, by the late 1980s more tech-savvy individuals were already meeting new people and having all sorts of discussions ‘on-line’ – and in some cases had been for almost a decade. "Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end"
Made me feel nostalgic. Now I need to dig out an old modem to hear its song again (assuming I can find something to hook it up to).

The forum for the techie-darling comic strip XKCD was still offline on Monday afternoon after Troy Hunt’s breach site, Have I Been Pwned, reported on Sunday that 562,000 of the forum’s accounts had been breached sometime in August. I bet half of the passwords were 'Correct Horse Battery Staple'

Android smartphones from multiple vendors, including Samsung, Huawei, LG, and Sony are susceptible to an advanced type attack that can alter device settings via a short text message. Sending a bad link is so last week
There's a CP protocol? CodeProject is bigger than I thought!

So is this finally an admission that Android has malicious settings?
About time, too!

And such a weirdly simple one at that.
I’m surprised their security thugs researchers hadn’t found it. Of course, they probably don’t spend much time on Android: no one to embarrass.

Or to let them look bad, so they lose customers.
Searching in Android would be like biting the hand that feeds them

Zerodium, one of the many “vulnerability brokers” out there, announced a new pricing structure that values Android exploits higher than iOS exploits. Now how I would expect, "supply and demand" to work

Do you bet that Apple and Microsoft are cooperating in order to pay the extra $$$ for each Android bug?
Kind of revenge for Google's "project zero"

The Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence, or AI2, announced today that its Aristo software scored better than 90% on a multiple-choice test geared for eighth graders, and better than 80% on a test for high school seniors. To celebrate, it's throwing a party while its parents aren't home

Talk about dumbing down the definition of artificial intelligence.
How about just having a spell checker know the difference between there, their and they're?

Pretty par for the course these days isn't it? Anything with a 4-part switch statement is getting called AI it seems.

Modern hardware often exposes a number of specialized non-vector instructions that can dramatically improve performance. In this blog post, I’m exploring how we’ve addressed this limitation in .NET Core 3.0. For those who miss #pragma

Brave presents new RTB evidence, and has uncovered a mechanism by which Google appears to be circumventing its purported GDPR privacy protections. Evilish? Evilesque? Evilicious?
