California is the robotics capital of the world

0


I got here to the Silicon Valley area in 2010 as a result of I knew it was the robotics heart of the world, but it surely actually doesn’t get wherever close to the media consideration that another robotics areas do. In California, robotics know-how is a small fish in a a lot larger know-how pond, and that tends to hide how essential Californian corporations are to the robotics revolution.

This conservative dataset from Pitchbook [Vertical: Robotics and Drones] gives information for 7166 robotics and drones corporations, though a extra personalized search would supply nearer to 10,000 robotics corporations world large. Areas ordered by dimension are:

Kvitto 1.0.4 | Cocoanetics


Kvitto is an open supply part that permits you to parse Apple gross sales receipt information, for instance to find out if the person has an lively auto-renewing subscription on machine.

This new launch fixes an pressing difficulty that appeared the primary time on September twenty fourth, in iOS 14, the place about half the gross sales receipts couldn’t be parsed. I additionally added help for Swift Bundle Supervisor 2 weeks in the past and had forgotten to announce the discharge, so there you go.

Adjustments

  • NEW: Assist Swift Bundle Supervisor
  • FIXED: dates with fractional seconds wouldn’t be parsed
  • FIXED: Calm down examine for sequence in root of PKCS7 container, as Apple would possibly generally provide solely 3 parts as an alternative of 5

After seeing and collaborating with a couple of motivated builders on including SPM help to DTFoundation and DTCoreText I felt empowered to deal with this for Kvitto myself.

Concerning the mounted bug… I received first phrase about new points with Kvitto from Canada on September twenty fifth:

We’ve been getting some emails prior to now couple days from customers saying their subscription isn’t validating.

At first I shrugged this off, as a result of I hadn’t modified something, and why would Apple change one thing right here? However then within the night of September twenty seventh, I received an in depth difficulty report from Germany, pinpointing the difficulty as being associated to Apple now generally together with fractional seconds on date fields. So as an alternative of 2020-09-27T12:07:19Z we’d now – generally, not all the time – get 2020-09-27T12:07:19.686Z – which NSDateFormatter will not be good sufficient to disregard.

My repair is principally to examine the size of the string after which use the proper date format for that.

The discharge has been tagged on GitHub, thus is out there through Swift Bundle Supervisor on the grasp department, and it has additionally been launched through CocoaPods trunk.

CISA Warns of Vital Jenkins Vulnerability Exploited in Ransomware Assaults

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Safety Company (CISA) has added a crucial safety flaw impacting Jenkins to its Identified Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, following its exploitation in ransomware assaults.

The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-23897 (CVSS rating: 9.8), is a path traversal flaw that might result in code execution.

“Jenkins Command Line Interface (CLI) incorporates a path traversal vulnerability that enables attackers restricted learn entry to sure information, which may result in code execution,” CISA mentioned in an announcement.

Cybersecurity

It was first disclosed by Sonar safety researchers in January 2024 and addressed in Jenkins variations 2.442 and LTS 2.426.3 by disabling the command parser function.

Again in March, Pattern Micro mentioned it uncovered a number of assault situations originating from the Netherlands, Singapore, and Germany, and that it discovered situations the place distant code execution exploits for the flaw have been actively being traded.

Jenkins Vulnerability Ransomware Attacks

In current weeks, CloudSEK and Juniper Networks have revealed a collection of cyber assaults exploiting CVE-2024-23897 within the wild to infiltrate the businesses BORN Group and Brontoo Know-how Options.

The assaults have been attributed to risk actor often called IntelBroker and the RansomExx ransomware gang, respectively.

Cybersecurity

“CVE-2024-23897 is an unauthenticated LFI vulnerability that enables attackers to learn arbitrary information on the Jenkins server,” CloudSEK mentioned. “This vulnerability arises from improper enter validation, enabling attackers to control particular parameters and trick the server into accessing and displaying the contents of delicate information.”

Jenkins Vulnerability Ransomware Attacks

In gentle of the energetic exploitation of the vulnerability, Federal Civilian Govt Department (FCEB) companies have time until September 9, 2024, to use the fixes and safe their networks in opposition to energetic threats.

Report suggests Quest Professional 2 has been canceled, however a Meta exec says that is not the entire story

0



What you could know

  • A report states Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg and CTO Andrew Bosworth have knowledgeable staff to cease the Quest Professional 2 challenge.
  • Sources allege that the “excessive price” of parts and different ambitions doubtless attributed to the choice.
  • Bosworth chimed in on Threads, stating that this is not the entire story and that Meta has many prototypes on deck and a few do not make the minimize.

But once more, Meta has reportedly canceled improvement for the Quest Professional 2 XR headset.

The report stems from The Data, which states that “Meta staff” knowledgeable the publication a couple of canceled “high-end combined actuality” challenge (through Add VR). The gadget in query is codenamed “La Jolla,” which was said to be the Meta Quest Professional 2. Supposedly, the Actuality Labs group engaged on the challenge needed to maintain prices low and promote the gadget for beneath $1,000.



Imaginative and prescient Professional will dwell or die on Apple’s personal phrases: ‘spatial laptop’

0


Apple’s Imaginative and prescient Professional has been out there for over half a 12 months. Regardless of an preliminary wave of pleasure and viral buzz round its launch, today Imaginative and prescient Professional discourse isn’t very constructive. The gadget’s rumored gross sales struggles are usually highlighted, as are its lack of compelling apps and content material. It’s too early to name the Imaginative and prescient Professional a hit or flop, however to mark six months, I’d wish to discover what the gadget’s success finally hinges on. And I believe all of it comes all the way down to Apple’s personal phrases: ‘spatial laptop.’

Imaginative and prescient Professional isn’t a VR headset, it’s a ‘spatial laptop’

Vision Pro Spatial Computing

Within the lead-up to the Imaginative and prescient Professional’s unveiling at WWDC 2023, anticipation was by the roof for this VR/AR headset.

When Apple enters a brand new product class, it often presents one thing distinctive. However other than creating an ultra-premium headset, it was unclear how Apple would distinguish the Imaginative and prescient Professional from headsets that got here earlier than it.

However in its introduction, the reply was fairly clear: ‘spatial computing.’

Apple beat the drum time and again that the Imaginative and prescient Professional was a ‘spatial laptop.’ They didn’t name it a VR, AR, or blended actuality headset. It was a pc.

Six months in, I anticipate the Imaginative and prescient Professional to dwell or die on these phrases.

Value is a matter, however there’s an even bigger core drawback

Usually when pundits take into account the Imaginative and prescient Professional’s market challenges, its $3,500 price ticket is the main target.

It’s as if the Imaginative and prescient Professional would be a success, if solely Apple made it extra reasonably priced. Say, within the $1,000 to $1,500 vary.

However I don’t suppose price is the Imaginative and prescient Professional’s fundamental problem. It’s spatial computing.

Sure the gadget must get extra reasonably priced. Apple clearly is aware of that, because it’s prioritizing making a less expensive Imaginative and prescient gadget slightly than a Imaginative and prescient Professional 2.

To realize actual success although, Apple must show that the Imaginative and prescient Professional is definitely a pc. And one which does computer-y issues higher than conventional alternate options.

Creating a greater laptop for extra folks

visionOS 2 Mac Virtual Display

Proper now, for lots of potential clients, Imaginative and prescient Professional isn’t simply an overpriced gadget. It’s additionally a tool with no compelling objective.

The place it constantly impresses is with media. Immersive movies are completely unbelievable. Reliving recollections through spatial movies is simply as superb. Heck, the Imaginative and prescient Professional is even nice when watching customary movies and viewing customary pictures.

As a media consumption gadget, the Imaginative and prescient Professional largely succeeds (at the very least in the event you ignore gaming).

However that’s not why it exists, neither is it the primary manner Apple has marketed it.

$3,500 for a content material consumption gadget is quite a bit.

However what if the Imaginative and prescient Professional was a strong laptop for getting actual work accomplished?

What if doing all of your every day work on the Imaginative and prescient Professional was a much more compelling expertise than what you could possibly get with a Mac or iPad?

visionOS 2 with keyboard

I totally consider that some folks can get their work accomplished on a Imaginative and prescient Professional right now. However most can’t. And even with those that can, is spatial computing game-changingly higher for them? I’m skeptical.

Plenty of Imaginative and prescient Professional customers love Mac Digital Show. However that characteristic makes the Imaginative and prescient Professional a Mac accent, not a Mac alternative.

The marketplace for a $3,500 Mac accent could be very small.

However the marketplace for a next-gen immersive laptop could possibly be vital.

Is spatial computing a gimmick, or the longer term?

Apple is taking child steps towards making Imaginative and prescient Professional a greater laptop. There are a number of visionOS 2 options geared towards enhancing productiveness, for instance.

However there’s a lot extra work to be accomplished.

It’s early days. I consider Apple is dedicated to the Imaginative and prescient platform for the lengthy haul. However its success will rely on whether or not the corporate achieves its preliminary aim: creating a real laptop.

If ‘spatial computing’ is a gimmick, the Imaginative and prescient Professional will fail.

But when it’s the longer term, then I hope that future doesn’t take too lengthy to reach.

What do you suppose? Can Apple ship on the promise of spatial computing? Tell us within the feedback.
