ChatGPT’s paying subscribers complained about seeing promotional messages in the app. Maybe the suggestions just looked like ads. Read more from @Techcrunch:
Particle Physicists Detect ‘Magic’ at the Large Hadron Collider
In search of quantum advantage — the ability of a quantum computer to outperform classical computers on certain tasks — physicists began to look for entangled states that differed as much as possible from stabilizer states. These states earned the name magic states.

Samsung’s next-generation Galaxy Z Trifold “holds the promise of an entirely new way to use our phones,” reporter Jamie Richards writes. Don’t think for a minute this doesn’t put pressure on Apple. Read more from @TechRadar:
ChatGPT has seen its global monthly active users climb by 180% year-over-year as of November 2025, but is that growth slowing down? @Techcrunch has more:
Time for a new thing to be terrified about! Research published in the journals Nature and Science found that chatting with a politically biased AI model was more effective than political advertisements at nudging Democrats and Republicans to support presidential candidates of the opposing party. And the most persuasive models said the most untrue things. Here's more from Technology Review.

Finally, the ridiculously talented @gloriouscow has decided making one of the, if not *the*, most accurate IBM PC emulators around isn't enough - and is now working on CC0-licensed reference book going into component-by-component detail of exactly how the IBM PC and later PC XT work.

The European Union has announced it is fining Elon Musk's X platform $140 million, saying it breached the Digital Services Act. The 2022 law requires internet companies to aggressively combat hate speech and misinformation. The U.S. government has condemned the move, and while Musk has not as yet addressed it, he has shared an X post advocating for a U.S. bill that would allow companies to sue foreign entities over censorship claims. Here's more from NBC.

Science next, and a fascinating project which appears to deliver a big boost to #mindfulness... by putting microphones near your hands and feeding amplified audio into your ears.
And Olimex has launched yet another open hardware development board, this time based on the Espressif ESP32-C6 and packing Wi-Fi, BLE,, and IEEE 802.15.4 radios plus 18 GPIOs into a compact breadboard-friendly format - and there's even support for an optional battery!

Toradex has announced new ultra-tiny computers-on-modules, available in solder-down or replaceable board-to-board variants - specs won't set the world aflame, but there's still a lot of power packed into a very small footprint!
NVIDIA, meanwhile, has announced CUDA Tiles, a new programming paradigm which it says will make writing portable yet performant (NVIDIA) GPU-accelerated programs easier - and the first language to benefit is Python, via cuTile Python.
Right, last #Hackster round-up of the week, and we're starting with an all-in-one development board from RT-Thread which comes running an on-board local large language model, because of course it does:

New from me: nearly 4,000 words on AI, the people who use it, the people who criticize it, the limitations of mainstream online platforms as vehicles for public discourse, and much more.
