The personal computer revolution was not driven solely by faster processors. It was also driven by a fundamental change in how humans interacted with machines. The graphical user interface replaced command-line instructions with windows, icons, menus, and pointing devices, making computing accessible to vastly larger audiences. Artificial intelligence may now be approaching a similar interface transition. Hark, a startup founded by serial entrepreneur Brett Adcock, has launched Hark Pro, an...

Quantum computing has taken its first meaningful step beyond the laboratory. Researchers led by Philip Walther of the University of Vienna have demonstrated a photonic quantum processor operating in low-Earth orbit, marking a major milestone in the effort to make quantum technologies function outside carefully controlled terrestrial environments. The experiment, launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 in June 2025, was designed to answer a fundamental question: can the delicate quantum behavior...

Artificial intelligence has spent much of the past decade moving in one direction: bigger models, more parameters, larger data centers, and increasingly expensive computing infrastructure. The assumption behind this trajectory has been straightforward, larger models generally provide more capabilities, particularly for reasoning, coding, language understanding, and complex tasks. PrismML is challenging a different part of that assumption: that useful intelligence must remain computationally...
