Workday launches Sana-based UI, autopilot agents, as it deepens its focus on AI

When Workday acquired Sana just about a year ago, it said that the combination of Sana’s AI with Workday’s platform would create a new “front door” to work. Today at its Workday Rising conference, it unveiled that front door, turning Sana into Workday’s default home screen that, it said, “brings tasks, decisions, meetings, and agent […] more…

Microsoft separates decision-making from generative AI with a new model

Microsoft has launched Decision-1, an AI model that returns probabilities for predefined answers, allowing software applications to use its outputs directly instead of processing a free-form response from a large language model (LLM). The model targets tasks such as classifying requests, prioritizing incidents, and checking AI-generated responses. Microsoft says it can handle these decisions with […] more…

Scientists recreate a bizarre quantum effect that stops a particle cold

Oxford physicists have recreated a bizarre quantum effect in which a particle responds to a magnetic field without ever traveling through it. Using a hybrid quantum computer, they demonstrated how introducing a simulated magnetic flux could completely halt a particle’s movement through quantum interference. The experiment brings a decades-old prediction into a new setting where […] more…

Physicists discover “astonishing” property of light that defies expectations

Scientists have uncovered a surprising hidden ability of light that allows it to develop spinning, twisting behavior as it travels through empty space, without special lenses, mirrors, or materials. Researchers discovered that light’s internal geometry can naturally produce left- and right-handed patterns, challenging long-standing assumptions about how light behaves. By carefully arranging a beam’s structure, […] more…

What Is Encryption? How It Protects Your Website and Its Data

If you run a website, you’ve already met encryption even if you’ve never used the word. It’s the 🔒 padlock in the browser bar, the reason your host told you to stop using plain FTP, and the checkbox on your backup settings that says “encrypt archive.” Encryption is one of the few security controls that works […] more…
