According to Odaily, the Israeli military has confirmed that a missile was launched from Yemen and is heading towards Israel. Efforts are currently underway to intercept the missile.

According to BlockBeats, following a dispute between U.S. President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, representatives from NASA and the Pentagon have urged SpaceX competitors to accelerate the development of alternative rockets and spacecraft. The Washington Post reports that government officials have reached out to at least three commercial space companies—Rocket Lab, Stoke Space, and Blue Origin—to inquire about the status of their rockets and their availability for government missions.

Musk had previously suggested the possibility of halting flights of the "Dragon" spacecraft, which would disrupt NASA's ability to transport astronauts to and from the International Space Station. Although Musk later retracted this threat, his initial statement raised concerns among NASA officials. The Pentagon also heavily relies on SpaceX for launching its critical satellites.

According to Odaily, Vitalik Buterin recently shared his experiences with artificial intelligence on the X platform. He noted that AI has been minimally helpful in areas where he is an expert. However, in fields where he is a novice, AI has proven to be quite beneficial. He cited recent examples such as developing native Android applications and understanding Linux's internal structures.

According to Odaily, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has raised concerns over Pakistan's recent decision to allocate 2,000 megawatts of electricity for Bitcoin mining. This plan, announced last week, aims to attract independent miners, blockchain companies, and artificial intelligence firms to the country. The IMF has requested urgent clarification from Pakistan's Ministry of Finance regarding the legality of cryptocurrency mining and the allocation of power, especially given the nation's ongoing energy shortages and financial pressures.

The Pakistani government reportedly did not consult the IMF before making this announcement. Additionally, the IMF has expressed worries about the potential impact of cryptocurrency activities on Pakistan's electricity prices and resource distribution. It is anticipated that both parties will arrange a separate meeting to specifically discuss the Bitcoin power allocation plan.

According to PANews, Telegram's founder Pavel Durov revealed on his personal channel that in the first quarter of 2025, Telegram climbed to eighth place in global app downloads. Meanwhile, Meta's suite of apps, including WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and Threads, experienced a decline in their download rankings.

According to ShibDaily, Apple Inc. has partnered with neurotechnology company Synchron to develop innovative products like iPhones and iPads that can be operated through brain implants. This collaboration marks a significant advancement in integrating neural interfaces with everyday devices, aiming to assist individuals with physical disabilities in controlling their Apple devices using thought commands. The technology utilizes Synchron’s stent-like implant, positioned on the motor cortex of the brain, to facilitate seamless interaction with iPhones and iPads via neural signals.

The device, known as Stentrode, captures motor signals from the brain and transmits them wirelessly to an external processor, which then translates these signals into commands for electronic devices. Apple and Synchron plan to enhance the tech giant’s existing assistive switch control system, which allows users with limited mobility to operate iPhones hands-free through simple gestures like head movements or silent sounds. This collaboration seeks to broaden accessibility options by integrating brain-controlled commands with established device controls.

Individuals with conditions such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or severe spinal cord injuries may experience significant improvements in their ability to operate smartphones and tablets using thought alone, eliminating the need for physical movement. Additionally, future users of the Stentrode device will avoid open brain surgery, as Synchron describes the technology as a minimally invasive and scalable brain-computer interface (BCI). Synchron co-founder Tom Oxley stated, “With BCI recognized as a native input for Apple devices, there are new possibilities for people living with paralysis and beyond.” He added that Apple is pioneering a new interface paradigm where brain signals are formally recognized alongside touch, voice, and typing.

Limited trials involving Apple’s iPhones, iPads, and Apple Vision Pro mixed-reality headsets are set to begin with select participants later this year. As Apple and Synchron proceed with these trials, the collaboration could represent a significant milestone in merging neuroscience and consumer technology, potentially redefining how users interact with digital devices in the near future.
