TESLA BEGINS ‘FSD SUPERVISED' RIDE-HAIL TESTS WITH EMPLOYEES IN AUSTIN, BAY AREA

Tesla is now testing its autonomous ride-hailing service with employees in the Austin and San Francisco Bay Area. The company has completed over 1,500 trips and 15,000 miles of driving. The robotaxi service will launch in Austin in June with 10 to 20 vehicles set to launch on day one. It will use Tesla's existing portfolio of vehicles rather than the Cybercab concept the company debuted last year. Autonomous vehicle companies in California need a range of permits to operate - Tesla so far only has a permit to test autonomously with a safe driver.

HOW A 20-YEAR-OLD BUG IN GTA SAN ANDREAS SURFACED IN WINDOWS 11 24H2

A 20-year-old bug in GTA San Andreas that causes the Skimmer plane to disappear in-game has surfaced in Windows 11 24H2. The root cause has been traced to missing wheel scale parameters in the vehicles.ide file for the Skimmer, which went unnoticed due to the game's incomplete data validation. The bug was triggered by changes in Windows 11 24H2's internal stack management, which overwrote uninitialized values that the game unintentionally relied upon.

GOOGLE REVEALS SKY-HIGH GEMINI USAGE NUMBERS IN ANTITRUST CASE

Google Gemini reached 350 million monthly active users as of March 2025, with a daily traffic of 35 million users. The number of users has increased significantly since late last year, when the service had tens of millions of users and 9 million daily active users. Despite the uptick in usage, Google is still far from catching up with OpenAI. The company is likely losing money on each user - OpenAI has previously noted that it loses money even on its $200 monthly plan.

SCIENTISTS SAY THEY FOUND A NEW COLOR HUMANS HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE

Researchers have figured out a way to artificially expand the natural human color gamut. Humans usually have three different types of cone cells that combine their signals to form the normal color spectrum. The 'green' cones' function overlaps completely with the 'red' and 'blue' cones, meaning there's no wavelength of light that stimulates only the 'green' cones under natural conditions. Shooting a green laser at only the 'green' cones creates a color that the brain is unfamiliar with - the researchers have named the new color 'olo'.

AI OUTSMARTS VIRUS EXPERTS IN THE LAB, RAISING BIOHAZARD FEARS

A new study conducted by researchers at the Center for AI Safety, MIT's Medicine Lab, Brazilian university UFABC, and SecureBio claims that AI models can now outperform PhD-level virologists in problem-solving in wet labs, where scientists analyze chemicals and biological material. In the study, virologists scored an average of 22.1% in their declared area of expertise while OpenAI's o3 reached 43.8% accuracy and Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro scored 37.6%. The results are concerning to some scientists as for the first time in history, virtually anyone has access to a non-judgmental virology expert that could walk them through complex lab processes to create bioweapons.

YAGRI: YOU ARE GONNA READ IT

You shouldn't just store the minimum data required to satisfy the current product spec, you should also store data that you'll highly likely use, such as timestamps and contextual metadata. For example, instead of just deleting rows from a database, engineers should instead store data on who deleted it, how they deleted it, when, and why. While not every bit of data stored will end up serving a purpose, the extra data could end up saving you one day, which makes up for the cost of storing it. While you shouldn't log just everything, people rarely complain about a table having too many timestamps.
