November 9, 2025, 4:42 AM EST. Apple's Vision Pro introduces a new category called a spatial computer, blending augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). The headset uses cameras to map the real world for AR overlays and can switch to immersive VR by dimming the view, controllable with an on-device Digital Crown. Design resembles ski goggles with a laminated front, aluminum frame, and a soft Light Seal. Two micro-OLED displays deliver over 4K per eye (about 23 million pixels total) and an external EyeSight display shows your eyes. The latest model adds an M5 chip, and accessories like the Dual Knit Band with a Fit Dial improve comfort and weight distribution. No physical controllers are used, and Zeiss Optical Inserts attach magnetically for prescription wearers. A notable step for Apple's ecosystem toward spatial computing and immersive experiences.

November 9, 2025, 4:38 AM EST. 2025 is shaping up as a tipping point for GenAI in accounting. The Thomson Reuters Institute report shows 68% of tax and accounting professionals are hopeful about GenAI, with 21% already using it and 53% planning to adopt. Only 25% have no plans, down from 49% in 2024. Firms are using AI to automate routine tasks and expand advisory work. Notably, many rely on open-source tools (about 52%), while only 17% currently use industry-specific GenAI solutions. The Big 4-Deloitte, EY, PwC, and KPMG-lead the charge with substantial AI investments to deliver deeper client insights and transformation.

November 9, 2025, 4:36 AM EST. Google Research on November 7, 2025 unveiled a new machine learning paradigm called Nested Learning to address catastrophic forgetting in AI models. The approach treats AI as a system of nested learning processes that update at different rates, mirroring human memory. As proof-of-concept, the team introduced Hope, a self-modifying architecture that can continually learn and adapt without restarting from scratch. The work highlights the classic stability-plasticity dilemma and the limitations of networks trained with standard backpropagation on distributed representations. By enabling layered updates, this paradigm aims to preserve old knowledge while integrating new information, improving robustness in dynamic environments and moving AI closer to true continual learning.

November 9, 2025, 4:32 AM EST. UK and Germany warn that Russia and China are expanding their space capabilities, with satellites that can jam, spy on, or disrupt Western assets. Officials cited recent sightings of two Russian reconnaissance satellites tracking IntelSat craft used by the German Armed Forces, and warned that Moscow and Beijing are building space warfare capabilities. The UK Space Command head said Russian satellites are stalking British assets and jamming them weekly. NATO Secretary General warned of plans to develop space-based nuclear weapons to disable satellites. Putin says there is no plan to deploy nuclear weapons in space, yet Russia vetoed a UN resolution calling for a ban on such weapons, illustrating a contested policy outlook for future space security.

November 9, 2025, 4:20 AM EST. NASA and Blue Origin are reopening media accreditation for the ESCAPADE mission, which will send twin spacecraft to study the solar wind's interaction with Mars and its atmospheric escape. This marks the second launch of the New Glenn rocket. U.S. media must apply by 11:59 p.m. EDT on Monday, Oct. 13, with credentials submitted online. Applicants who already applied for ESCAPADE credentials do not need to reapply. The press offices at NASA and Kennedy Space Center provide contact details. Accredited reporters will gain access to prelaunch activities and the launch. ESCAPADE is funded by NASA's Heliophysics Division, led by UC Berkeley SSL, with Rocket Lab building the spacecraft and LSP managing launch services under VADR.
