GOOGLE WILL DEVELOP THE ANDROID OS FULLY IN PRIVATE, AND HERE'S WHY

Google is doing away with its current two-pronged Android development strategy and instead shifting all development internally starting next week. The company previously maintained a public branch and an internal development branch, which resulted in Google spending a lot of time and effort merging patches between the two branches. This change doesn't mean that Google is becoming closed-source - the company will continue to publish the source code for new Android releases, but the frequency of public source code releases for specific Android components will change.

HOW WE MADE OUR RICH TEXT EDITOR LOAD FASTER

CKEditor 5 initially struggled with performance issues when loading large, complex documents due to its multi-layered architecture. To fix these issues, its team reduced redundant conversions, improved tree traversal, and batched operations. As a result, document load times were reduced by 6–7x, showing the power of improving underlying algorithms within code rather than focusing on JavaScript micro-optimizations first.

NEW NPM ATTACK POISONS LOCAL PACKAGES WITH BACKDOORS

Researchers at Reversing Labs identified two malicious packages on npm targeting the ‘ethers' package: ‘ethers-provider2' and ‘ethers-providerz.' These packages stand out because they download a secondary malware stage that monitors the legitimate ‘ethers' package, then swaps its ‘provider-jsonrpc.js' with a trojanized version. This trojanized file downloads a third-stage malware that creates a reverse shell to a malicious IP address. Reversing Labs emphasizes the severity of this issue, as removing the malicious package does not eliminate the risk since the trojanized legitimate package can still harbor the malware.

OPENAI EXPECTS REVENUE WILL TRIPLE TO $12.7 BILLION THIS YEAR

OpenAI plans to more than triple its revenue this year - it generated $3.7 billion in annual revenue last year. The company hit 2 million paid users for the corporate version of ChatGPT in September. It more recently added a $200 monthly ChatGPT Pro option and is considering charging thousands of dollars per month for certain AI products. The company does not expect to be cash-flow positive until 2029. It has been in talks with regulators to restructure into a for-profit public benefit corporation.

FIREFLY AEROSPACE SELECTS BLUE ORIGIN UNIT TO EXPLORE VOLCANIC FORMATIONS ON MOON

Firefly Aerospace has partnered with Blue Origin's Honeybee Robotics for its third lunar mission in 2028. Honeybee will supply a rover to study the Gruithuisen Domes, unusual volcanic formations located in the Moon's near side believed to be rich in silica. Studying the formations could unlock clues about the Moon's geological history and potential resources for future human missions. The upcoming mission is part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services initiative.

UPCOMING PRIVATE SPACEX MISSION WILL BOLDLY GO WHERE NO HUMAN HAS ORBITED BEFORE

The Fram2 mission will launch four private astronauts into polar orbit to observe Earth's polar regions at an altitude of around 265 to 280 miles above the ground. It is set for launch on board a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket no earlier than Monday, March 31 at 11:20 PM ET. The four-person crew will be led by Chun Wang of Malta, who founded Bitcoin mining companies f2pool and stakefish. The astronauts will spend three to five days on board SpaceX's Dragon crew spacecraft as they study an aurora-like phenomenon known as STEVE (Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement), known for its hazy purple and green streaks across the sky. The mission will also include an attempt to grow mushrooms in space.
