  • NVIDIA and Partners Build AI-Driven Fusion Reactor Digital Twin to Power the Industrial Revolution
    October 29, 2025, 5:14 PM EDT. NVIDIA, General Atomics and international partners have developed a high-fidelity, AI-enabled digital twin of a fusion reactor, delivering interactive performance analytics and real-time optimization. The project combines advanced AI with simulation for design, operation, and safety insights, aiming to accelerate fusion energy commercialization and create a blueprint for next-generation AI infrastructure in industry. With technical support from San Diego and collaborators across the globe, the effort demonstrates how AI and digital twins in fusion energy can boost efficiency, reduce risk, and scale clean power. It signals a future where AI-powered infrastructure underpins critical energy and manufacturing ecosystems.
  • iOS 26 makes lock-screen timers harder to disable - a step back for iPhone users
    October 29, 2025, 5:08 PM EDT. Not all changes are progress. iOS 26 introduces a friction-filled timer experience by moving the lock-screen controls from a large orange Stop button to a drag-to-silence slider. Previously, a quick tap on a prominent alert could stop a timer; now you must slide across the screen to silence or repeat the timer. The change mirrors alarm behavior but misapplies it to timers, adding steps for everyday tasks like cooking or reminders. On non-lock-screen usage, timers behave differently, creating an inconsistent UX. While the author says it's not catastrophic, this is a clear regression in everyday usability compared with iOS 18.
  • Optical Computing Chip Breaks 10 GHz Barrier for AI Feature Extraction
    October 29, 2025, 5:06 PM EDT. Researchers at Tsinghua University, led by Professor Hongwei Chen, have unveiled an optical computing chip-OFE2-that overcomes electronic processors' limits by performing feature extraction with light. The system uses an on-chip data-preparation module with tunable power splitters and precise delay lines to de-serialize data into stable parallel branches, followed by a diffraction operator that executes a matrix-vector multiplication in the optical domain. This enables ultra-low latency, energy-efficient, and parallel processing for applications from quantitative trading to scene recognition, medical assistance, and digital finance. The work tackles maintaining coherent light above 10 GHz and demonstrates a reconfigurable optical core capable of redefining real-time AI workloads.
  • Apple Watch Sleep Score Review: Not a Real Upgrade, Just a UI Change
    October 29, 2025, 5:02 PM EDT. Apple introduced Sleep Score with watchOS 26 during the iPhone 17 reveal. The 100-point metric weighs three factors: sleep duration (50), bedtime consistency (30), and interruptions (20). In practice, hitting 8 hours helps the duration score, while keeping a regular schedule and minimizing awakenings boosts the rest. But Sleep Score doesn't collect new data or deeply analyze other health signals; it's mainly a UI layer on top of existing sleep data. It also lets you view past months, which undercuts the novelty of a new score. The author argues a perfect score can be misleading and suggests Apple must add meaningful metrics or smarter analysis to truly elevate Sleep Score.
  • OnePlus 15: Global launch date, new colors, and AI-powered upgrades unveiled
    October 29, 2025, 5:00 PM EDT. Exclusive look at the OnePlus 15, billed as a two-generational upgrade and likely OnePlus's last flagship of 2025. The device debuts the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, paired with LPDDR5X Ultra+ RAM (16GB) to deliver the brand's Fast & Smooth performance. It introduces the Plus Key, an AI-driven shortcut replacing the traditional Alert Slider, and runs OxygenOS 16 to blend advanced AI with user-centric design. OnePlus also teases new color options and a global launch date, signaling competitiveness with next-gen rivals like iPhone 17 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S26. In short, the OnePlus 15 represents a full hardware and software transformation beyond the OnePlus 13.
