Bitcoin Price Weekly Outlook Bitcoin closed the week out at $67,638, not an awe-inspiring close by any means. The support level at $65,650 has held for a couple of weeks now, but the relentless selling pressure will likely take it out this week. As of the time of this writing on Sunday night, the bitcoin price is currently trading below this support level at $64,600. We should expect the price action to remain bearish this week and likely threaten to take out the $60,000 low. Key Support and Resistance Levels Now There is still a chance the $65,600 support level…

According to an analysis by Scottish Labour, 5000 fewer houses are being built each year under the SNP compared to the previous Scottish government. The party said that if housebuilding under the SNP kept pace with the last Labour-led administration at Holyrood, 90,000 more houses would have been built in the last 18 years. Scottish Labour said a housing shortage was “at the root” of Scotland’s housing emergency. The party attacked the SNP’s record, pointing to figures showing more than 10,000 children are currently in temporary accommodation. Mr Sarwar said: “The SNP’s housing emergency is causing misery for countless Scots…

To access the feature, users tap “Create” and then select “Prompted Playlist,”…

By Will Jones When the World Wide Web became publicly accessible in 1993, few could have predicted it would eventually reshape how people discover, consume and trust information. It didn’t just change communication, it changed commerce. Now, in 2026, marketing has reached another inflection point. As ad platforms become more specialised and algorithm-driven, brands can no longer rely on “one-size-fits-all” creativity. To compete, creative assets must be structurally built for each channel and validated before budget is spent. This need for structural precision is driving the rise of AI-powered validation tools. AI validation tools like Alison.ai’s Preflight Plus ensure creative…

The challenge of wrangling a deep learning model is often understanding why it does what it does: Whether it’s xAI’s repeated struggle sessions to fine-tune Grok’s odd politics, ChatGPT’s struggles with sycophancy, or run-of-the-mill hallucinations, plumbing through a neural network with billions of parameters isn’t easy. Guide Labs, a San Francisco startup founded by CEO Julius Adebayo and chief science officer Aya Abdelsalam Ismail, is offering an answer to that problem today. On Monday, the company open sourced an 8-billion-parameter LLM, Steerling-8B, trained with a new architecture designed to make its actions easily interpretable: Every token produced by the model…

NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover captured this panorama of boxwork formations—the low ridges seen here with hollows in between them—using its Mastcam on Sept. 26, 2025, the 4,671st Martian day (sol) of the mission. These boxwork formations were created billions of years ago when water leaked through rock cracks. Minerals carried into the cracks later hardened; after eons of windblown sand eroding away the softer rock, the hardened ridges were left exposed. Source link
