The social media site says it will amplify posts made by users' mutual followers' to give the feed more of a communal feel.
Thousands of new fossil-fuel power sources are quietly firing up across the state to power the AI boom, thanks to a regulatory loophole, leaving residents feeling blindsided.
An MSG database tracked and categorized hundreds of celebs, famous Knicks superfans, and even some of Taylor Swift’s wedding guests. Labels included “LGBTQIA,” “DO NOT HOST,” and low to high “risk.”
Burst water mains. Evacuated hospitals. In a closed-door simulation, insurers played out their response to a mass disruption by China’s Volt Typhoon hackers—and found a nightmare scenario.
In a world regulated by devices, humanity has become disconnected from the physical world—from stick-shift cars to postcards.

WIRED spent months talking to America’s favorite failson as he plotted his return to public life. Now he’s feeding the trolls—and everyone else.
Drone shows are the new fireworks—and possibly a new kind of religion. I traveled to Texas to be converted.
Illinois passed a similar law, giving services more incentive to make ads less booming.
Prefer immutability What: Make data read-only after construction. Instead of editing objects, create new ones. Why: If nothing changes, many threads can read safely with no locks . How (.NET): public readonly record struct Money ( decimal Amount , string Currency ); public record Order ( Guid Id , IReadOnlyList < OrderLine > Lines ) { public Order AddLine ( OrderLine line ) => this with { Lines = Lines . Append ( line ). ToList () }; } Use record / readonly struct , IReadOnlyList<> , and with (copy-on-write). Keep collections immutable ( ImmutableList<T> , ImmutableDictionary<K,V> ). Avoid shared state What: Don’t let unrelated code touch the same mutable object. Why: If each operation owns its data, there’s nothing to synchronize. How: Per-request scope : create new service instances that hold request-specific state. No static mutable fields; if you must cache, use ConcurrentDictionary : private static readonly ConcurrentDictionary < string , Widget > _cache = new (); var widget = _cache . GetOrAdd ( key , k => LoadWidget ( k )); Use lock / SemaphoreSlim cautiously What: Synchronization primitives that serialize access to critical sections. When: Short, minimal critical sections where mutation is unavoidable. lock for synchronous code; SemaphoreSlim when await is involved (never block in async code). Patterns & pitfalls: private readonly object _gate = new (); void Update () { lock ( _gate ) // keep work tiny inside { // mutate a small piece of shared state _count ++; } } private readonly SemaphoreSlim _sem = new ( 1 , 1 ); async Task UpdateAsync () { await _sem . WaitAsync (); try { _count ++; } finally { _sem . Release (); } } Never lock(this) or a public object (external code could deadlock you). Keep lock duration short; avoid I/O under locks. If multiple locks are needed, fix a global order to prevent deadlocks. Atomic counters (avoid locks entirely): Interlocked . Increment ( ref _count ); Leverage actor-style or message queues What: Push work as messages to
As UK police embrace the AI revolution, a WIRED investigation reveals the messy inside story of one region’s experiment with predictive analytics.
It’s like Big Brother without any limits, or broadcast standards. WIRED goes on location—and on camera—with the cult hit.
WIRED surveyed readers on their housing costs. The answers paint a stark portrait of unaffordability, climate adaptation, and the death of the homeowner dream.
A new, AI-assisted model of insurance is quietly exploding in disaster-prone areas—and may be coming for FEMA too. Is it the answer to climate change, or a trap?
