✈️ Anthropic Drops Coding Tasks From Interviews Anthropic is dropping live coding from interviews. Claude is better at programming anyway, explains Felix Rieseberg, one of the startup's team leads. According to him, knowledge of frameworks and libraries, which used to be an advantage, is now valued less than initiative and the fresh perspective of newcomers. That is why he looks through CV and portfolios for small prototypes that show taste, empathy, and sound thinking. What matters more for a programmer? ❤️ — Experience and coding 🔥 — Ideas and taste

The 14-inch M5 Pro version costs $2,899, $400 more than the regular M5 Pro MacBook Pro. But the best part is that the glowing Apple logo is back on the lid! Do you need a touchscreen on a laptop? ❤️ — Yes, absolutely 🔥— No, it's useless

💡 AI Has Been Into a Screwdriver The Arrowspace S1 uses a camera to recognize which bit a particular screw needs and sets the optimal speed. The right bit then lights up right in the case (just to make sure there's no mix-up). All that's left for the human is to insert the bit and bring the screwdriver to the screw. The Kickstarter campaign has raised $124K so far, more than 10 times its original goal. The "miracle tool" costs $129.

🌐 Highway Thieves Make Off With $100 Million in GPUs Thieves in the U.S. have already stolen graphics cards worth more than $100 million. Since June, thieves have carried out more than twenty heists of high-tech data center equipment in California, Texas, and Utah, and at least some of the stolen hardware is reportedly being smuggled into China. The two biggest robberies could have come straight out of a Fast & Furious movie. In one, a car slammed into a police vehicle escorting a truck full of GPUs in the middle of a highway. The thieves drove off with the truck, and police later found only the empty trailer.

"We've seen some of these thefts go up to 30-plus million dollars for one particular shipment. It's so much easier to steal this than to rob a bank," says Keith Lewis, head of operations at risk-assessment firm Verisk CargoNet.

✈️ Three in Four European Pilots Have Fallen Asleep Mid-Flight Three in four pilots have fallen asleep in the cockpit during a flight, according to a European Cockpit Association survey of 7,200 captains and first officers. The report refers to "microsleep," brief lapses a person may not even notice. The culprit is bureaucracy at smaller airlines and low-cost carriers. More than 80% of budget-airline pilots believe their employers fail to manage fatigue, and almost half fear being penalized for reporting that they are tired. Are you afraid of flying? ❤️ — Yes 🔥 — No 😱 — I am now!!!

❤ A pup dressed as a data center stole the show at Bark Bash, a doggy Halloween event in Virginia. The event takes place in Ashburn, Loudoun County, as close as you can get to America's data center capital. More than 200 data centers are already up and running or under construction in the county, and local officials expect them to bring in over $1.3 billion in 2027 — 40% of the local budget.

💼 Bill Gates Proposes Reserving Certain Professions for Humans In an interview with The Verge, Gates said that within roughly 20 years, AI and humanoid robots will eliminate shortages of goods and services worldwide. Androids will build cheap housing and perform surgery, and in poor countries where children are malnourished and many people never see a doctor in their entire lives, AI will help defeat disease and hunger. But in the end, people will have nothing left to do — because beyond the purely economic struggle against scarcity, work gives people a sense of purpose, dignity, and social connection. That's why Gates proposes creating a reserve of professions that society deliberately keeps for humans, even if machines can do them better. Examples include childcare, cooking, art, and sports. In Gates's view, society should decide which fields make the list. 👨‍💻 Ironically, Gates discussed this idea with Claude. He tried to push the share of such professions to around 40% of the labor market, but Claude kept objecting that this would artificially restrict AI. Does humanity need a "reserve of professions"? ❤️ — Yes, it's the right call 🔥 — No, AI will do everything better

🇮🇹 Switch 2 Jailbroken on Latest Firmware Developer pepsipu built a software-only, tethered jailbreak for the Nintendo Switch 2 running the latest firmware, 23.0.1. It lets users run their own code with the privileges of ordinary system modules and the file-system module, which is enough to mod games and dig into the console's internals. He showed it off by adding new characters to Mario Kart World. The AI agent Codex helped find the way in: a 32-bit integer overflow in the BASIC interpreter of SmileBASIC, a game for the first Switch, which let data be changed outside the array. Hajhamid then chained other bugs in the file-system module to get his own code running with those system privileges. Do you have a Nintendo Switch? ❤️ — Yes 🔥 — No

🚀 Japan Launches Mission to Bring Back a Piece of Martian Moon Phobos Japan has launched a mission to bring soil back to Earth from Phobos, a moon of Mars, for the first time. The MMX probe is expected to return about 10 grams of samples in 2031. The spacecraft will arrive at Mars in August 2027 and will spend several years studying Phobos and the second moon, Deimos. In 2029, a mini-rover will land on Phobos. It will examine the surface, choose a landing spot, and collect soil.

💸 Vienna Gets a Monument to Satoshi Nakamoto The sculpture depicts a seated hacker with a laptop and is made of 61 thin stainless steel layers. From the side, it is clearly visible, but head-on it almost disappears, symbolizing the anonymity of Bitcoin's creator. The hacker stereotype is deliberate: it pays tribute to the developers who built Bitcoin's global ecosystem. The project began as street art by Italian artist Valentina Picozzi, who has been working with Bitcoin as a theme since 2012. Her "21 Nodes" series plans 21 sculptures worldwide, and the first went up in Lugano in October 2024.

🎥 Actor Mark Wahlberg Wants to Continue Acting After His Death — With the Help of an AI Clone Actor and investor Mark Wahlberg has no objection whatsoever to his AI clone continuing his on-screen career after his death.

"It would be cool that my children or my grandchildren could be in charge of my likeness and my image, and hopefully put me in some good movies," said Wahlberg.

The actor is even ready to sign up for CAA Vault, a private "digital vault" run by the Hollywood agency where celebrities use scanning technology to capture their bodies, faces, movements, and voices to create AI replicas. The actor also has no objection if the animated series Ted, in which he voices one of the main characters, continues to air for decades with his AI version. 👨‍💻 Even so, Wahlberg is against replacing screenwriters with algorithms and doesn’t think it's right to "put an idea into ChatGPT and it puts out a script, and then you should go make that and not use real actors." Would you watch a movie with an AI actor? ❤️ — Yes, you can't even tell the difference anymore 🔥 — No, that's a slop
