UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called on major tech firms to commit to 100% renewable energy for AI data centers by 2030, warning that their soaring electricity demands are unsustainable. With data centers projected to consume as much power as Japan by 2030, Guterres urged the industry to leverage AI itself for efficiency gains.

Shor Compliance introduces an open-source framework that transforms regulatory requirements into enforceable smart contracts. By declaring rules in YAML, developers can auto-generate Solidity code, legal documentation, and audit trails—dramatically reducing compliance costs and risks for token sales.

A senior engineer reveals how combining Claude AI agents with strategic task decomposition creates unprecedented coding flow states. This battle-tested workflow transforms AI from a novelty into a production-grade collaborator while preserving deep technical oversight.

The FAA's proposed MOSAIC rulemaking dramatically expands the light-sport aircraft category, eliminating outdated restrictions on speed, weight, and propulsion to foster safer, more accessible personal flight. This deregulatory shift could accelerate advancements in eVTOLs, distributed electric propulsion, and simplified controls, potentially ending decades of aviation stagnation.

Meet mcat, a revolutionary Rust-powered terminal tool that converts documents, images, and videos into terminal-viewable formats with pipeline flexibility. From rendering PDFs as Markdown to playing videos directly in your terminal, this open-source utility redefines command-line productivity for modern developers.

AI writing detectors like GPTZero and OpenAI's Text Classifier frequently misidentify human-written classics such as the US Constitution as AI-generated, exposing critical flaws in their underlying technology. Experts reveal these tools rely on unreliable metrics like perplexity and burstiness, leading to high false positive rates that unfairly target students and non-native English speakers. As educators grapple with AI's role in academia, the push for detection may be a misguided solution to a deeper pedagogical challenge.
