• AI is so ubiquitous ‘it will be more practical to fingerprint real media than fake media’

    December 31, 2025

    It’s no secret that AI-generated content took over our social media feeds in 2025. Now, Instagram’s top exec Adam Mosseri has made it clear that he expects AI content to overtake non-AI imagery and the significant implications that shift has for its creators and photographers. Mosseri shared the thoughts in a lengthy post about the broader trends he expects to shape Instagram in 2026. And he offered a notably candid assessment on how AI is upending the platform. “Everything that made creators matter—the ability to be real, to connect, to have a voice that couldn’t be faked—is now suddenly accessible…

  • This white noise app helps me sleep amid my coronavirus anxiety

    December 31, 2025

    Having trouble sleeping? Hit Snooze is Mashable’s deep dive into how we cope with our collective insomnia and the many ways we can achieve a more peaceful slumber. I’ve always had trouble sleeping. The coronavirus pandemic hasn’t exactly helped things. My phone, meanwhile, has never helped me sleep. In a pandemic, it might as well be pure caffeine. Often, these days, nighttime looks like this: I spend far too much time on Twitter, too much time scrolling through live updates, too many dives down rabbit holes — too many precious hours obsessing in a way that won’t change a damn…

  • How Cloudflare’s tokio-quiche Makes QUIC and HTTP/3 a First Class Citizen in Rust Backends

    December 31, 2025

    Cloudflare has open sourced tokio-quiche, an asynchronous QUIC and HTTP/3 Rust library that wraps its battle tested quiche implementation with the Tokio runtime. The library has been refined inside production systems such as Apple iCloud Private Relay, next generation Oxy based proxies and WARP’s MASQUE client, where it handles millions of HTTP/3 requests per second with low latency and high throughput. tokio-quiche targets Rust teams that want QUIC and HTTP/3 without writing their own UDP and event loop integration code. From quiche to tokio-quiche quiche is Cloudflare’s open source QUIC and HTTP/3 implementation written in Rust and designed as a…

  • Every new model coming to Australia in 2026 and beyond

    December 31, 2025

    New generations of some of Australia’s most popular cars are due in 2026, with the Toyota RAV4 and rival Mazda CX-5 headlining the biggest arrivals – but Australian launches suggest the status quo is changing. More hybrids and electric vehicles launching Down Under, and increased competition mean greater choice for new-car buyers. There are also fresh brands and sub-brands entering the market, including the premium-positioned Wey from GWM, which will take on the recently launched Denza from BYD. Here’s the smorgasbord of new models expected in the coming 12 months. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to…

  • How to watch Samsung’s “First Look” CES 2026 presentation

    December 31, 2025

    Samsung is arguably the 800-pound gorilla of CES, with a full spectrum of products that range from phones and computers to refrigerators to AI assistants and rolling robots. But for , the company is shaking up the schedule a bit: Instead of its longtime midday Monday press conference position, the Korean giant will front-run the entire show with a Sunday night presentation. Samsung has already given a few hints as to what’s on the agenda, but what we’re really hoping to see is an update on the — a star of previous CES presentations that ostensibly missed its previously promised…

  • Investors predict AI is coming for labor in 2026 

    December 31, 2025

    Concerns about how AI will affect workers continue to rise in lockstep with the pace of advancements and new products promising automation and efficiency. Evidence suggests that fear is warranted. A November MIT study found an estimated 11.7% of jobs could already be automated using AI. Surveys have shown employers are already eliminating entry-level jobs because of the technology. Companies are also already pointing to AI as the reason for layoffs. As enterprises more meaningfully adopt AI, some may take a closer look at how many employees they really need. In a recent TechCrunch survey, multiple enterprise VCs said AI…

  • Hitting that snooze button is a relationship killer. Here’s how to quit.

    December 31, 2025

    Having trouble sleeping? Hit Snooze is Mashable’s deep dive into how we cope with our collective insomnia and the many ways we can achieve a more peaceful slumber. There are two types of sleepers in this world. On one side, there are the people who repeatedly hit snooze in a bid to squeeze out just five more minutes of blissful slumber, who cannot tear themselves out of bed for love or money. On the other side are those who open their eyes the moment their alarm sounds, spring out of bed, and start their day. I fall into the former…

  • How to Design Transactional Agentic AI Systems with LangGraph Using Two-Phase Commit, Human Interrupts, and Safe Rollbacks

    December 31, 2025

    In this tutorial, we implement an agentic AI pattern using LangGraph that treats reasoning and action as a transactional workflow rather than a single-shot decision. We model a two-phase commit system in which an agent stages reversible changes, validates strict invariants, pauses for human approval via graph interrupts, and commits or rolls back only then. With this, we demonstrate how agentic systems can be designed with safety, auditability, and controllability at their core, moving beyond reactive chat agents toward structured, governance-aware AI workflows that run reliably in Google Colab using OpenAI models. Check out the Full Codes here. !pip -q install…
