A meteor streaked across the New York City area in broad daylight on July 16, 2024, producing a sonic boom as it passed just south of the Statue of Liberty. Not long afterward, a meteorite weighing more than two pounds punched through the roof of a home in Hillsborough, New Jersey. An international research team has now analyzed the recovered material and reported its findings in Science Advances. “A forensic study of the fragments revealed that they contained preserved bits from near the surface of a primitive asteroid where it experienced concentrated salty fluids — a process not previously known…

President Trump’s war against Iran has depleted U.S. weapons stockpiles to troubling levels, siphoning supplies from Asia and Europe, according to senior officials.The rapidly shrinking supply of air-defense missiles and other critical weaponry in Europe and Asia not only leaves the U.S. military less equipped, but could also leave Russia and China feeling emboldened should they contemplate a potential conflict with the United States, experts said.Bombing Iran burned through thousands of multimillion-dollar missiles that contain precision parts from a global web of suppliers and can take years to produce. Defending against Iran’s retaliatory barrages has worn down U.S. stocks of…

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNETFollow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google.ZDNET’s key takeawaysPixel 11 prices may rise by $100 or more across the series, challenging their reputation for value.  Samsung often wins on hardware, while Pixel leads on software. Pixel Drops and early Android updates are the real value.Google’s Pixel phones have, for quite some time, been premium enough to compete with Samsung’s best phones, but they were usually a bit cheaper. That made overlooking any performance or hardware gaps very easy.But the Pixel 11 series will be different. Also: Google’s new Pixel 11 series drops next week – what we…

Long-horizon agents accumulate context faster than they resolve tasks. Every tool output, observation, and intermediate reasoning step stays in the window, and the two capabilities that matter — holding that context and staying coherent across it — have so far been available almost exclusively from cloud endpoints. That excludes regulated industries, public-sector institutions, and on-device applications, where the data is not permitted to leave the boundary at all. Pokee AI released Pokee-Isaac 28B, a 28B text-only foundation model with a 10M-token context window, designed to run inside that boundary. The Pokee research team claims 93.3%…
