This humanoid robot can almost run as fast as a human sprinter
The demonstration centers on a controlled track test in which the robot passes a speed-measurement device at peak velocity. Unitree says the measurement may not be exact, but the result still suggests a sharp increase in how fast humanoid robots can move. The company describes the robot as achieving “world…
Two New Jersey men jailed for helping North Korean IT workers infiltrate 100+ companies
According to an official DoJ press release, 42-year-old Kejia “Tony” Wang of Edison, NJ, has been sentenced to nine years in prison, while 39-year-old Zhenxing “Danny” Wang of New Brunswick, NJ, has been sentenced to seven years and nine months in a federal penitentiary for his role in the scheme.
A $7,000 DIY radar project is taking on hardware that usually costs over $100,000
Rather than presenting a stripped-down proof of concept, Motii has published a complete, buildable system. The Aeris-10 repository includes schematics, PCB layouts, firmware, and a graphical control interface, effectively exposing the entire stack – from signal processing to user interaction. The project is available on GitHub.
Metro 2039 is going darker than ever, launching this winter on PC and consoles

AI infrastructure boom pushes AMD, Intel and Arm to new valuation heights
Those gains point to a broader realignment toward infrastructure built for emerging AI workloads, particularly agentic systems and retrieval augmented generation. Both lean heavily on sustained compute performance and memory throughput, putting renewed weight on CPU design, especially in systems where orchestration, preprocessing, and data movement remain CPU-bound even when…
