  • New York Enacts First-in-the-Nation AI Safety Law to Protect Users from Digital Harm
    November 10, 2025, 4:50 PM EST. New York has enacted the country's first comprehensive AI safety law targeting AI companions and their operators. Effective November 5, 2025, the AI Companion Safety Law requires companies to implement crisis intervention protocols for self-harm signals, to interrupt extended sessions every three hours, and to clearly inform users they are interacting with AI, not a human. The bill, included in the governor's executive budget, seeks to shield especially minors and vulnerable users from potential digital harm and unhealthy dependencies. The law empowers the Attorney General's Office to pursue enforcement, with penalties funding suicide prevention programs. Gov. Hochul and A.G. Letitia James emphasize corporate responsibility and NY's leadership in AI safety, while urging ongoing federal support for protective measures.
  • Internet Evolution: Moore's Law, Addressing Architectures, and the Future of Internet Scale
    November 10, 2025, 4:48 PM EST. From the invention of the transistor to modern Internet scale, this piece situates policy debates within the broader arc of technology evolution. It traces how the marriage of computing and communications-from the transistor to the integrated circuit and beyond-reshaped geography, wealth, and power. It revisits early openness in operating systems with Unix and BSD, and highlights Bob Metcalf's Ethernet as a minimalist, transformative architecture. The piece links technical progress to policy dialogue at ARIN 56, arguing that understanding addressing architectures and infrastructure trends is essential for anticipating the future of the Internet. Expect a historical lens on Moore's Law, networks, and what scales mean for policy and governance.
  • Black Friday Deals: Mac mini M4 at $499 (16GB/256GB) plus discounts on 16/512 and 24/512

  • Tech-led rally lifts U.S. stocks as AI jitters ease; Nvidia leads rebound
    November 10, 2025, 4:42 PM EST. Tech stocks staged a rally on Monday, with the S&P 500 up about 1.2%, the Dow rising 183 points, and the Nasdaq up roughly 1.9% as investors shake off last week's AI jitters. Nvidia led the rebound, rising about 4% and lifting broader AI and chip names. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) climbed around 3.1% after reporting nearly 17% year-over-year revenue growth in October, though growth has cooled from earlier highs. Palantir Technologies jumped about 8% for the day's biggest gain in the S&P 500. The move comes as traders weigh whether AI-driven gains are sustainable, echoing fears of a bubble while engines of innovation in tech continue to drive volatility and demand for tech shares.
