Rivian’s new second-generation R1 EV receives an update today that introduces new “universal hands-free” driving software. This was announced by the company last week at its first Autonomy & AI Day. The company says this new feature allows drivers to take their hands off the wheel on more than 3.5 million miles of roadways in the U.S. and Canada, on a mix of highways and roads, as long as lanes are visible. Owners must continue to monitor the driving system, and importantly, the driving system “does not stop or slow down for traffic lights or stop signs.” Universal hands-free also…
New genetic research reveals that excavations in Italy have unearthed the oldest known evidence of father-daughter incest in the archaeological record.Researchers found genetic clues to this incest in the remains of a teenage boy buried in a Bronze Age cemetery in southern Italy.The cave ruins of Grotta della Monaca in Calabria, the “toe” of Italy, were used as a burial ground between 1780 BC and 1380 BC. Archaeologists analyzed the DNA of 23 people buried there to understand the population’s genetic background, but they did not expect to find such “extreme parentage.” you may like In a study published Monday…

Swedish vibecoding startup Lovable has more than tripled its valuation in just five months. Stockholm-based Lovable announced Thursday that it has raised $330 million in a Series B funding round led by CapitalG and Menlo Ventures at a valuation of $6.6 billion. Khosla Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, and Databricks Ventures also participated, as well as other investors. The raise comes just months after Lovable raised $200 million in a Series A round that valued the company at $1.8 billion in July. One of the first companies to capitalize on the AI boom, Lovable has built a “vibe coding” tool that allows…
Dec 18, 2025Ravie LakshmananCybersecurity / Hacking News This week’s ThreatsDay Bulletin tracks how attackers keep reshaping old tools and finding new angles in familiar systems. Small changes in tactics are stacking up fast, and each one hints at where the next big breach could come from. From shifting infrastructures to clever social hooks, the week’s activity shows just how fluid the threat landscape has become. Here’s the full rundown of what moved in the cyber world this week. International scam ring busted Authorities from the Czech Republic, Latvia, Lithuania, and Ukraine, along with Eurojust, took action against a criminal network…
Archaeologists in Jerusalem have unearthed a rare 1,300-year-old lead medallion decorated on both sides with images of a seven-branched menorah, a ceremonial menorah unique to the Second Temple.Researchers believe the medallion was placed on a necklace by Jews in the late 6th or early 7th century, when the city and surrounding area were under the control of the Christian Byzantine Empire. The city fell only a few decades ago, first to the Sassanid Persians in 614 and then to mainly Arab Muslim invaders around 638.The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) said in a statement that the medallion was discovered in part…
Over the past year, artificial intelligence co-pilots and agents have quietly infiltrated the SaaS applications that enterprises use every day. Tools like Zoom, Slack, Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and ServiceNow have built-in AI assistant or agent-like features. Virtually all major SaaS vendors are rushing to incorporate AI into their products. The result is an explosion of AI capabilities across the SaaS stack, creating AI sprawl, where AI tools proliferate without centralized oversight. For security teams, this means change. As the use of these AI co-pilots grows, the way data moves through SaaS is changing. AI agents can connect multiple apps, automate…
For the first time, scientists have created a detailed 2D map of the Sun’s outermost atmosphere. The feat was accomplished using data from NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, which has been moving in and out of the sun’s atmosphere, known as the corona, since 2021.Parker is the first spacecraft ever to fly so close to a star. This ability is largely due to its exceptional heat shield, which can withstand temperatures in excess of 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit (1,370 degrees Celsius). The sun’s corona is much hotter, about 1 million to 3 million F (555,000 C), but it’s so diffuse that objects…
About 4.5 million years ago, the sun passed close to two extremely bright stars, flooding nearby space with their radiation. And that encounter left a ghostly scar that astronomers can still detect today, a new study says.The researchers say this close encounter could help solve decades-old mysteries, such as why the space around the solar system is much more energetic than models predict and contains an excess of ionized helium.A research team led by astrophysicist Michael Schall of the University of Colorado Boulder used computer models to rewind the orbits of stars near the Sun and found that two pale…
