Michael Nagle | Bloomberg | Getty ImagesFor a Federal Reserve chairman who prizes credibility above all other virtues, the market’s reaction to Kevin Warsh’s remarks Wednesday must have been painful. Warsh hosted a press conference Wednesday afternoon following a meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee, which voted 9-3 to leave interest rates unchanged. It was just the second such meeting since Warsh became head of…

The joint statement confirmed that GARM will remain inactive as a result of the WFA’s settlement with X. No other concessions were discussed. The rest of the statement claims that the settlement “resets the relationship between the two organizations,” which are now supposedly “fully aligned in the view that brands, platforms, and consumers will all benefit from brand-safety innovation.” Additionally, the WFA said it is aligned with X on “its commitment to freedom of speech,” which seems to be a nod to the controversial reports on X content that Musk said triggered his “war” with advertisers. Those reports found that…
The Dreadnought-class submarines will replace the UK’s four Vanguard-class vessels that have been in operation since 1992, carrying Trident missiles to provide a nuclear deterrent.Those Vanguard submarines are due to be retired in the 2030s, with the Dreadnoughts entering service at the same time.The project has taken 20 years to get to this stage and was first announced in 2006 by the then Labour Prime Minister, Tony Blair. A decade later, in 2016, MPs formally approved building the new submarines.Thursday’s announcement of £8.4bn marks the start of what has been called the fourth phase of the project.The spending was already…

Microsoft broke ranks and kept its capital expenditures outlook steady — and the troubled stock was handsomely rewarded Wednesday evening. The good news on capex was accompanied by better-than-expected fiscal 2026 fourth quarter results, driven by strength in its Azure cloud unit, and strong current quarterly guidance. Revenue in the three months ended in June rose 18% year over year to $90 billion, beating the LSEG consensus estimate of $87.6 billion. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) totaled $4.74, up 30% from a year earlier. It’s unclear if that’s a direct comparison to the $4.24 consensus, according to LSEG. Azure cloud…

Aaron Schwartz | Bloomberg | Getty ImagesThe U.S. forces began launching strikes against Iran at 8 p.m. Wednesday stateside, retaliating against Iranian missile attacks on American forces in the region, deepening hostilities after a days-long pause. U.S. Central Command described the operation as a “powerful response” to Tuesday’s “attempted Iranian attacks on U.S. forces based in the Middle East.” The fresh strikes come after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted American forces in the Gulf region…

Mythos helped to find a new meet-in-the-middle technique that relies on a Möbius Bridge, a more sophisticated fingerprinting algorithm used in meet-in-the-middle attacks. Using it, Green said, the code Mythos produced was able to reduce the number of required inputs to 289. Anthropic said that savings can reduce the time required for such attacks by 200- to 800-fold. The ability to produce that many inputs makes the attack beyond reach outside of the laboratory. Further, the actual speed-up is unknown, since the weakened AES algorithm tested used only 7 rounds. Specification-compliant AES, Green said, uses 10, 12, or 14 rounds,…
The Metropolitan Police has said it will take no further action against Green Party leader Zack Polanski after he re-posted a photo of a man wearing a T-shirt with an image of a guillotine and the slogan “we’re only making plans for Nigel”.In a statement, the force said it did not believe sharing the picture constituted an offence.A Green Party spokesperson said it was “obvious from the start” that no crime had been committed, and said Reform UK was “using this as a political football for their own cynical purposes” as a distraction.In response to the Met’s decision, a Reform…
