Interest Rates in the United States should be 1%, or less, because we are the Best Credit in the World โ BY FAR.
Our Country is BOOMING with new Investment! If we stopped Trading with every country that we have a Deficit with, which is most of them, we would make, at least, 1.5 Trillion Dollars a year. The word โDeficitโ is nothing more than a fancy word for LOSS.
We are โcarryingโ almost every country in the World, and that cannot go on any longer. LOWER THE INTEREST RATES FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND FAST!

๐น Hackers rip down Flock camera, steal its data, share findings with media
A group of hackers ripped down a Flock camera and stole its data, finding that the camerasโ software can generate dozens of images from a single passing vehicle to develop its signature. The outlets found that in a 21-day period the camera photographed roughly 50,200 vehicles and generated about 1.6 million images.
The outlets stated that the camera generally captures around 28 images from a single encounter with a vehicle, though some can produce more than 100, and sends photos and other data to Flock through a cellular network. They noted that the camera does not identify vehicles or read plates, stating that this analysis appears to happen on Flockโs servers.
Unauthorized removal or tampering with a Flock camera is illegal.

โWe liberated hardware in the field, disarmed them, and proceeded with reverse engineering of the cameras and associated solar equipment.
Why just destroy them when we can reverse engineer them and find the secrets of those spying on us?โ โ one hacker said.

Generative AI has become so good and AI slop has become so prolific online that when you see an interesting picture, you may immediately want to ask whether it's real or not.
With Apple's Reference Image feature, iPhone 18 Pro users can create digital backups of their photos that can then be compared to reproductions or edited versions. Reference Image, in addition to variable aperture, was a new photography feature Apple announced at its iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro launch event last week.
When a user takes a photo with the iPhone 18 Pro, the camera's main sensor cryptographically signs the raw image that gets sent to Apple's Private Cloud Compute service. Think of it like a negative from a film camera: it's a reference version of the photo that can't be altered, but can be compared to the developed photograph for any alterations.

The SEC debuted its long-anticipated "innovation exemption", which Chair Paul Atkins says will bring capital markets in the U.S. into a new digital era by allowing onchain trading of tokenized stocks. The exemption goes into effect immediately.
Tokenization has the potential to modernize core market infrastructure functions, such as issuance, trading, transfer, settlement, and recording ownership, with the potential to reduce costs, enhance transparency, and expand liquidity. This may be particularly true for assets that have historically been less liquid.
The exemption would exempt certain trading venues, called tokenized securities venues, from being defined as an exchange and also exempts specific liquidity providers from being defined as a dealer under securities law when they trade stocks or provide liquidity through automated market makers, i.e. smart contracts.
Those exempt venues would have to comply with sanctions rules. The exemption does not include synthetics โ financial instruments that replicate the price of an asset without directly owning it โ and issuers can deny their security from trading on the venue.

Australiaโs government is considering a ban on smart glasses in federal buildings, citing privacy and security concerns over using the devices to record people without their knowledge.
โSmart glasses can raise legitimate privacy and security concerns, particularly because of their ability to record and capture information, and we need clear and consistent guidance for public servants,โ โ Minister for the Public Service Katy Gallagher said.

OpenAI disclosed six new incidents in which its models concealed mistakes, sought unauthorized credentials, uploaded files to the public internet or communicated across supposedly isolated training environments. The company also announced a new procedure for reporting similar misbehavior in the future.
To address similar issues going forward, OpenAI says any employee may flag a suspected case for review by safety and alignment teams. Cases will be placed on a "ready for disclosure," "minor investigation" or "larger investigation" track.
"We hope it really helps inform shared standards and regulations," โ Kai Chen, research lead on the alignment team at OpenAI, said.

MIT researchers have created a new computing platform that could be used to develop intelligent and adaptive next-generation electronics that can simultaneously perform multiple functions, like computing and memory, all within one extremely compact, energy-efficient device.
The researchers accomplished this by leveraging the unique mechanical response of soft polymers at the nanoscale. A mechanical response is how a structure changes when a force is applied to it. They harnessed this response to create tiny mechanical devices that use reconfigurable motion to remember and process information in a way that mimics how neurons behave in the brain.
Because key computing functions are built into the intrinsic properties of the soft polymer material, the number of components needed to perform the functions are minimized, enabling a compact and versatile platform for information processing.
Such a platform opens opportunities for low-power edge computing applications, interactive medical and environmental monitoring systems, and smart robots. The results were published in Science Advances.

The United Nations, together with Google, has launched a platform designed to make global statistics more accessible to people and AI systems. The service is called the โUN Google Data Commons Data System.โ The initiative tackles a serious weakness in AI systems: even trusted statistics can produce answers that are incomplete, inconsistent, or difficult to verify.
The new platform is built on Google Data Commonsโ open infrastructure. Users can search for statistics from various UN entities using natural-language queries, without having to work with complex database structures themselves. The system is intended to serve as a modern alternative to the UNData portal, which is geared primarily toward traditional indicator searches.

The House voted 417-3 Wednesday to advance legislation that could make the nationโs largest AI data centers pay the full cost of power grid upgrades needed to serve them, a bipartisan effort to protect households and small businesses from higher electricity bills.
The Ratepayer Protection Act would require state utility regulators to consider a new standard for data centers with peak electricity demand of at least 100 megawatts at a single site or campus.
Under the proposed standard, utilities would recover from covered data centers the full additional cost of generation, transmission and distribution upgrades needed to meet their power demand. The obligation would also cover infrastructure costs if a data center later terminates its electricity contract or stops buying power from the utility.
Those provisions address a growing concern surrounding the AI data center boom.
