    Kepler Computing, a stealth startup led by CEO Debo Olaosebikan and CTO Sasi Manipatruni, says it developed a ferroelectric composite material that boosts memory density while cutting power needs, and it's already working with GlobalFoundries to manufacture it. The claim lands as AI data centers have doubled SSD and hard drive prices over the past year and the US government has committed up to $245 million toward Kepler's technology through the CHIPS Act. ============================================================== Kepler Computing says it has found a way around one of AI's nastiest hardware bottlenecks: memory. The hard part now is proving that a clever material...

    NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – A prominent New Mexico attorney is in the hot seat after using AI to write a legal brief that made it into the court record, filled with errors. An appeal in a murder case with made-up witnesses and testimony. That’s why attorney Stephen Aarons is facing harsh scrutiny, admitting to the New Mexico Supreme Court that he “assumed” ChatGPT would generate a “bulletproof summary of proceedings”. “It’s of little comfort to know that my stupidity is what brings us together this afternoon,” said Aarons, as he started his arguments before the New Mexico Supreme Court. In...

  • Houthi control of Bab al-Mandab Strait poses new threat to global economy

    09/15/2026 7:36:50 PM PDT · by USA-FRANCE · 19 replies
    The grip of Iran-allied Houthi rebels on the narrow sea passage between Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, a vital route on the shortest maritime link between Asia and Europe, has sparked fears of rising oil prices and shipping costs. Between pipeline attacks and control over the Bab al-Mandab Strait, Iran's allies have begun targeting new infrastructure critical to global trade just as the pressure from the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf had started to ease. In just a few days, Yemen's Houthi rebels seized the coastal city of Mokha and several islands in the Red...

    A new poll suggests Medicare for All could benefit Republicans in some of the country's most competitive House races, especially as progressive Democrats increasingly embrace the idea. The survey, conducted by Republican polling firm FabrizioWard on behalf of Seniors Matter for America, found that voters in battleground congressional districts would favor a Republican candidate by a 50 percent to 38 percent margin if the Democratic candidate supported replacing existing health coverage with a government-run system. The poll surveyed 1,000 likely voters across 37 House districts rated Toss Up, Lean Republican, or Lean Democrat by the Cook Political Report between August...

    The brother of the now-notorious holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy's murder mistrial is speaking out, revealing why he believes his sibling voted the mom criminally responsible for killing her three children. "I don't think religion had anything to do with it," the anonymous juror's brother told the New York Post on Tuesday, September 15, disputing online claims that Catholicism impacted the holdout juror's decision. (The holdout male juror has decided to withhold his identity from the public following the high-profile case's controversial mistrial ruling.) "[He] looked at the case, and he made the call," the brother continued. "For me, that's...

    All of the support acts for Ed Sheeran's US tour have quit after a rapper was dropped from the setlist over his pro-Palestine views. Beoga, the Irish folk band that collaborated on Sheeran's hit Galway Girl, are among four acts that have refused to continue on the tour in solidarity with Macklemore, who was dropped after calling for a "free Palestine". In a statement, Beoga said that Macklemore had been silenced by "Zionist lobbies" and that the group believed in "dialogue as a means of progressing the plight of the Palestinian people". Macklemore, real name Benjamin Hammond Haggerty, was dropped...

    A devout Catholic family in Massachusetts had their 15-year-old daughter taken away from them after they refused to refer to her with male pronouns while her school was secretly socially transitioning her behind the parents’ backs. Joseph and Arlene Kutzko haven’t been allowed to see their daughter, Sophie, in nearly two years. Since then, the Department of Children and Families (DCF) has housed her in a boys dormitory, put her on birth control pills and antipsychotic medications. On top of this, their daughter — who previously led the parish in saying the Rosary before Mass — has been stripped of...

    A Pregnancy Discrimination Lawsuit Against Amazon Four women have filed a class action lawsuit against Amazon, accusing the corporation of refusing them accommodations while they were pregnant.

    They say “never meet your heroes…” And if you’ve spent any time online lately, you’ll see why that advice keeps coming up. In one viral thread, people were asked to name celebrities that are portrayed as nice in the media, but are actually jerks in real life. Personal encounters were quickly shared by restaurant staff, airport workers, crew members, and people who just happened to bump into someone famous during their day. Like the time someone claimed Drake got into a screaming match with a restaurant manager. Or the many comments about Kourtney Kardashian being dismissive and rude to service...

    Worried what AI will do to the world? Don’t fret — we got a group of woke elitists who will protect us. That’s the pitch from Anthropic’s CEO Dario Amodei, who says he has found an outside team that can regulate AI and make sure it doesn’t destroy the world. It’s a group of globalists who believe in open borders, genderless pronoun and promote “Effective Altruism,” that believe all the world’s problems can be solved with technology. In a bombshell essay titled “We Must Pace the Frontier,” Amodei argued that leading AI firms should commit to allowing “embedded third-party evaluators”...
