Several multinational giants, including Walmart and Amazon, are discussing potential efforts to issue stablecoins. Whether these initiatives will go ahead depends on a bill still yet to clear the Senate and House called the Genius Act, which establishes a regulatory framework for stablecoins. Stablecoins could allow merchants to bypass traditional payment rails, which cost them billions of dollars in fees each year. A regulatory framework for stablecoins would enable an alternative payment type for merchants that could significantly lower their expenses and create competition against Visa and Mastercard.
Anne Wojcicki, co-founder and former CEO of 23andMe, has been named as the new buyer for the company's assets. Biotech company Regeneron won the bidding last month during a bankruptcy auction but bidding reopened earlier this month after Wojcicki's nonprofit, TTAM Research Institute, made an unsolicited offer. Regeneron declined to submit a higher bid based on its assessment of the company's value. If the sale goes through, 23andMe's equity holders could recover some of their investment in the company, a relative rarity in bankruptcy.
The European Space Agency-led Solar Orbiter spacecraft has imaged the Sun's poles from outside the ecliptic plane. The spacecraft's unique viewing angle will help scientists better understand the Sun's magnetic field, the solar cycle, and the workings of space weather. The complete dataset from Solar Orbiter's first full pole-to-pole flight past the Sun is expected to arrive on Earth by October 2025. A video of the Sun from an angle of 17 degrees below the solar equator - enough to deficiently see the Sun's south pole - is available in the article.
Lyndra Therapeutics has created a once-a-week pill for treating the symptoms of schizophrenia. The pill contains a widely used medication for managing the disease. A phase 3 clinical trial conducted by Lyndra Therapeutics showed that the patients who took the once-a-week pill maintained consistent levels of the medication just as well as daily doses of the drug. Making the drug easier to administer makes it easier to ensure that patients are receiving their medication.

The software engineering job market is currently in a pretty bad place. Despite this, software engineers have the unique ability to provide extraordinary leverage and productivity with the right attitude. It's now easier than ever to automate tedious and formulaic tasks. Anyone with software engineering skills can now take an annoying problem, write a prompt, then let AI create a solution.
Phil McKinney convinced HP's board to acquire Palm for $1.2 billion in early 2010 by demonstrating to the board how Palm's WebOS represented a breakthrough platform technology that could differentiate HP in the emerging mobile computing market. A few months after the acquisition, HP's CEO was replaced and McKinney faced a medical emergency that required immediate surgery and an eight-week recovery period confined to bed. During his time in recovery, McKinney was unable to participate in meetings or provide strategic input, resulting in the entire mobile computing landscape at HP unraveling as the new CEO brought a completely different strategic vision. HP ended up discontinuing all WebOS devices just 49 days after it launched the TouchPad.
Ageism has been a problem in tech for many years, and it doesn't look like that has changed. While age brings many positive qualities in terms of skill set, companies may be reluctant to hire older workers as their salary demands are higher and they have stronger work boundaries. Their seniority and directness can also intimidate younger managers and other workers. Younger workers are more likely to be flexible and build whatever without question, which is valuable for business owners.

Shopify is rolling out stablecoin payments to all users on its platform later this year. Merchants will be able to set up their own online marketplaces and accept payments in USDC, a stablecoin issued by Circle. Access will be gradually expanded across the US and Europe before being opened up to all users. Shopify worked with Coinbase and collaborated with Stripe to develop new payment protocols and integrate stablecoins into its existing software stack.
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has unveiled new details about its next-generation AI chips. The Instinct MI400 series will ship next year. They can be assembled into full server racks with thousands of chips. AMD's rack-scale setup will make the chips look to users like one system, which is important for most customers who develop large language models.
Chinese scientists recently built prototype retinal implants that can replace failing photoreceptors and potentially provide infrared vision as a bonus. They work without an external camera or power source. The implants have been tested in mice and non-human primates - results in mice seemed promising, with the blind mice in the study responding to light and seemingly being able to see near-infrared wavelengths as well. The implants let the primates see infrared light, but their normal vision appeared unchanged.
Researchers have developed an artificial tooth implant that 'grows' into the gums and fuses with existing nerves to mimic the form and function of a real tooth. They can be put in place without any bone drilling. The artificial tooth features a biodegradable outer layer that contains stem cells and specific proteins that trigger the cells to mature into nerve tissue. This allows the implant to 'talk' to the brain, much like a real tooth, allowing the tooth to sense things like food texture and temperature.
Agentic coding is evolving rapidly. This post describes an agentic workflow - while it might be quickly outdated, it shows how integrating agents in the development processes can unlock significant productivity gains. While tools and techniques will evolve, the core principles remain essential. The goal isn't just to leverage agents to write code faster, but to write better, more maintainable, and resilient code.
Developers will sometimes need to suppress rules in build processes because those rules are wrong or unnecessarily strict. However, as people get used to suppressing rules, they might run into another problem - some rules are really bad to suppress as suppressing them might cause unforeseen issues. One way to deal with suppressions is to introduce a lint rule that forbids developers from suppressing some other lint rules.
Waymo's self-driving car rides are consistently more expensive compared to offerings from Uber and Lyft. The company's average price at peak hours is about $11 more expensive than Lyft and nearly $9.50 pricier than Uber. The price difference shows excitement for the technology and a real preference to sometimes be in a car without a driver. Shorter trips tend to cost more than longer ones - the pricing gap shrinks as rides get longer.

Google's Project Starline was reborn as Google Beam at Google I/O last month. The 3D conferencing system, which uses a lot of advanced hardware, makes users look like they're in the same room as each other. HP has revealed the first Beam setup - the HP Dimension will be available later this year for $24,999. It will come with a 65-inch display (Beam systems will have displays of various sizes) and also support regular 2D chats using Zoom and Google Meet. Google Beam's video model requires a lot of intense cloud processing, so customers will also have to pay for a Google Beam license on top of the hardware - prices for the licenses have not yet been released.
Nintendo sold more than 3.5 million Switch 2 units in the console's first four days, making it the fastest-selling home video game console yet. The company was able to meet the demand by having ample inventory on hand in key markets. Preorders sold out across major retailers in the US ahead of the launch. The threat of price increases from tariffs likely boosted demand. Nintendo aims to sell 15 million Switch 2 consoles by the end of March 2026.
