At least one new case has been identified amid the disembarkment. As of Monday morning, officials for the World Health Organization reported that the last of the passengers of the MV Hondius cruise ship are expected to be evacuated today.

Starlink is unceremoniously shutting down a GPS-style feature that most of the Internet satellite provider’s customers probably never realized existed. But that won’t stop broader momentum toward harnessing Starlink’s satellite constellation as a navigation alternative—especially when GPS jamming and spoofing have become more widespread. The Starlink satellite constellation owned by SpaceX is designed to provide communications services first and foremost, rather than pinpointing users’ locations like GPS and other global navigation satellite systems (GNSS). However, SpaceX publicly acknowledged in […]

Apple has released version 26.5 of all of its operating systems today: iOS 26.5, iPadOS 26.5, macOS 26.5, watchOS 26.5, tvOS 26.5, visionOS 26.5, and version 26.5 of the HomePod software (whew). None of these are particularly momentous updates, which is pretty normal this late in their lifecycle, but they add a small batch of new features alongside the pile of patches outlined on Apple’s security vulnerabilities page. This is Apple’s first release to support end-to-end encryption for […]

If you work in aerospace, automotive, or heavy industry manufacturing, your organization likely maintains vast repositories of technical documents. These documents combine written specifications with engineering diagrams, CAD drawings, inspection photographs, thermal analysis plots, and fatigue curves. A text query about maximum wall temperature at the nozzle throat might have its answer locked inside a thermal contour plot rather than written prose. Text-only retrieval systems can’t surface that information because they don’t see the image content. Amazon Nova […]

Enterprise data with tens of millions of rows, row-level and column-level security, and dozens of datasets spanning multiple business domains need AI-generated answers that are trustworthy, reproducible, and fast, while respecting governance rules consistently. With foundation models (FMs), organizations can build systems that work well for small datasets where a business user asks a question about their data and gets an answer in seconds. Amazon Quick can also help turn your large enterprise data into fast and accurate […]

What is the inverse of shifting a sequence to the right? Shifting it to the left, obviously. But wait a minute. Suppose you have a sequence of eight bits abcdefgh and you shift it to the right. You get 0abcdefg. If you shift this sequence to the left you get abcdefg0 You can’t recover the last element h because the right-shift destroyed information about h. A left-shift doesn’t fully recover a right-shift, and yet surely left shift and right shift […]
