Every new technology creates a new environment in which we work, but it’s not clear how AI will do that. One possibility is that the interface disappears entirely. That’s the vision of Josh Sirota, who founded the startup Eragon back in August and has just raised $12 million at a $100 million post-money valuation to build an agentic AI operating system for enterprise customers. There’s a simple thesis: “Software is dead,” Sirota says. Buttons and dialog boxes and pull-down menus are a thing of the past, and future business will be done by prompt. Eragon is attempting to offer the…

Large language models (LLMs) can generate credible but inaccurate responses, so researchers have developed uncertainty quantification methods to check the reliability of predictions. One popular method involves submitting the same prompt multiple times to see if the model generates the same answer.But this method measures self-confidence, and even the most impressive LLM might be confidently wrong. Overconfidence can mislead users about the accuracy of a prediction, which might result in devastating consequences in high-stakes settings like health care or finance.   To address this shortcoming, MIT researchers introduced a new method for measuring a different type of uncertainty that more reliably…

Written by Catherine O’Connell-Cooper, APXS Strategic Planner and Payload Uplink/Downlink Lead, University of New Brunswick, Canada Earth planning date: Friday, March 13, 2026 We are in our final phase of the boxwork campaign, investigating the contacts between the boxwork unit and the layered sulfate unit. As my colleague Bill reported here, last week we crossed out of the boxwork unit back into the underlying layered sulfate unit and then back into the boxwork unit for our Monday plan. We are now driving southward across the uppermost portion of the boxwork unit. This unit is characterized by smooth bedrock where the…

Authored by Les-leigh A When a senior Apple executive walks out of one of the most valuable companies on the planet to join a health wearables startup, you can’t help but wonder what they know that we don’t. Brian Lynch, who led Apple’s home hardware division, including the HomePod and a string of yet to be released smart home devices, has left to become SVP of Engineering at Oura. On paper, it looks like a step sideways. In practice, it says something much more interesting about where the best hardware minds think the real action is right now. More and…

Artificial intelligence models are multiplying fast, and competition is stiff. With so many players crowding the space, which one will be the best — and who decides that? Arena, formerly LM Arena, has emerged as the de facto public leaderboard for frontier LLMs, influencing funding, launches, and PR cycles. In just seven months, the startup went from a UC Berkeley PhD research project to being valued at $1.7 billion.  Watch as Equity host Rebecca Bellan catches up with Arena co-founders Anastasios Angelopoulos and Wei-Lin Chiang about how their platform became the go-to leaderboard for frontier AI models, and how they’re trying to build a neutral benchmark even as companies like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic back…

A California court on Wednesday dismissed a Coinbase user’s attempt to block an IRS summons for his financial records, in at least the second such case in the past year to fail to reach trial. Roger Metz filed a petition in the Northern District of California in May 2025 to quash an IRS summons ordering Coinbase to hand over his financial records in connection with an audit of his 2022 federal tax return. His lawyers argued the summons violated his privacy rights, was overbroad and failed to meet basic administrative requirements.Metz’s lawyers also contended that by the time the IRS issued the…

PC Daniel Julian, who has been serving with Sussex Police for 16 years, was the subject of a criminal trial in 2024 regarding an alleged sex attack against a colleague in a hotel room in Kent in the early hours of August 17, 2021, which he denied. He was cleared of three counts of sexual assault, causing a woman to engage in sexual activity without consent and attempted rape by a jury at Lewes Crown Court in April 2024. He now faces misconduct proceedings at Sussex Police Headquarters in Lewes. The panel heard today, March 18, that Julian had known…

You open your phone to check the time or a quick message. The next thing you know, an hour has passed and you’ve scrolled through endless celebrity drama, cat videos, awful news stories, influencer rants, and whatever else the algorithm decided to throw at you. Even though you probably don’t want to keep wasting your time and energy on this mind-numbing content, you do it again the next day. Doomscrolling, the habit of spending excessive amounts of time consuming content on social media, has become incredibly widespread. A survey from last year found that 64% of Americans say they doomscroll. …

Thursday 19 March 2026 12:01 am  |  Updated:  Wednesday 18 March 2026 10:54 pm The UK government has published its steel strategy. Darren Staples/PA Wire The UK government has reduced steel import quotas and raised tariffs to 50 per cent outside unit limits as part of a strategy to save the industry, an “bold” move that is likely to draw criticism from economists and opposition groups. Quotas for imports free from the higher tariffs will be reduced by 60 per cent from July. The government has set a target for domestic production to support half of steel demand in the UK.“Making steel…
