US Bans Kaspersky Software

US Commerce Department has banned the sale of Kaspersky’s antivirus tools to new customers in the US, citing alleged threats to national security.

The US conducted an “extremely thorough” investigation of Kaspersky and explored “every option” to mitigate its risks, Raimondo said, but officials settled on a full ban “given the Russian government's continued offensive cyber capabilities and capacity to influence Kasersky’s operations.”

Yann LeCun said LLMs had "very limited understanding of logic... do not understand the physical world, do not have persistent memory, cannot reason in any reasonable definition of the term and cannot plan...hierarchically."

Hopes For Sustainable Jet Fuel Not Realistic

Hopes that replacement fuels for airplanes will slash carbon pollution are misguided and support for these alternatives could even worsen the climate crisis, a new report has warned. There is currently "no realistic or scalable alternative" to standard kerosene-based jet fuels, and touted "sustainable aviation fuels" are well off track to replace them in a timeframe needed to avert dangerous climate change
