Debian 13 “Trixie,” scheduled for August 9, marks the Linux distribution’s mitigation of the Y2K38 bug, also known as the “Unix Epochalypse,” via a shift in

Startup FluidCloud, described as a portable cloud infrastructure provider, has launched the FluidCloud Platform, a “cloud cloning” platform that lets users clone, migrate, restore, and optimize infrastructure across clouds in minutes, according to FluidCloud. FluidCloud Platform draws on infrastructure-as-code principles to reverse engineer existing environments into a standard infrastructure definition, enabling “seamless” cloning, migration, and remapping

It’s barely been out for a month and already security researchers have discovered a prompt injection vulnerability in Google’s Gemini command line interface (CLI) AI agent that could be exploited to steal sensitive data such as credentials and API keys from unwary developers. Gemini CLI integrates Google’s LLM with traditional command line tools such as

AI-powered AVs are increasingly honking, taking sharper turns, rolling through stop signs, or edging into crosswalks — mimicking human behavior that ironically could make them safer vehicles. The vehicles use AI to observe and shadow human behavior as they traverse millions of miles of roadways. Tesla’s Shadow Mode, for example, quietly monitors human driving, comparing
