India's EVMs Have No Internet or Wireless Connectivity, Says Election Chief

India's Election Commission chief addressed public concerns about the integrity of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). He clarified that the machines are manufactured by government-owned public sector companies, not private firms. The poll body chief stressed that EVMs operate without any internet, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi connectivity. This statement was made to counter doubts and misinformation surrounding the security of India's voting technology.

Pakistan Army Officer Shoots at Students After Wife Flags Campus Protest

A Pakistan Army officer opened fire on a group of students who were staging a peaceful protest at an educational institution. The students had gathered to demonstrate against their head of department over grievances related to fees and class schedules. According to an eyewitness, the officer's wife alerted him to the protest, prompting him to intervene. The officer then allegedly drew his weapon and opened fire on the demonstrating students. The incident has drawn significant attention due to the use of lethal force against a peaceful student demonstration.

OpenART Benchmark Tests AI Agent Safety Across 10,000 Stateful Scenarios

Researchers have developed OpenART, a safety evaluation framework that tests AI agents across more than 10,000 validated scenarios spanning 50 domains. Unlike static benchmarks, OpenART focuses on how safety failures can emerge gradually through evolving environment states — including changes to workspace data, permissions, memory, and plans — rather than from single problematic prompts. Each test keeps the task objective and a hidden safety contract constant while only the environment state changes, allowing the framework to detect delayed failures that traditional benchmarks may miss. Testing across 75 agent-model configurations, OpenART recorded a strict Attack Success Rate of 85%, with success requiring confirmation from both a deterministic evaluator and a GLM-5.2 judge. The findings highlight significant vulnerabilities in stateful AI agents, where an early authorized action can cascade into unsafe outcomes many steps later.

RA-Bench Study Exposes Gaps in AI Deepfake Detectors for Crisis Video Footage

A research paper introducing RA-Bench has found that current deepfake detection tools perform poorly when tested against AI-generated crisis footage, such as fabricated videos of disasters or terrorist attacks. Existing benchmarks evaluate detectors on generic synthetic videos rather than high-stakes, real-world scenarios, leaving a critical blind spot in the technology. Researchers warn that convincing fabricated crisis videos could trigger panic, military responses, or economic disruption within hours of going viral on social media. The study highlights a fundamental mismatch between how detectors are trained and the conditions they would face in actual deployment. RA-Bench aims to address this gap by providing a more realistic testing framework tailored to crisis-related deepfake content.

How to Update VMware Appliance OVF Properties via Command Line

VMware appliance OVF properties can be updated through the command line interface when vCenter (VC) is inaccessible and only ESX UI access is available. Administrators can log into the VM as root and run the 'ovfenv' command to view existing properties such as hostname, IP address, DNS, and NTP settings. Configuration scripts for modifying these properties are stored in the '/opt/vmware/vcf/commonsvcs/scripts/' directory. For example, NTP server details can be updated by navigating to the NTP subdirectory and executing the 'update-ntp_server.sh' script with the new server IP. A VM reboot is required after making changes for the updated settings to take effect.

US Anti-Drug Boat Strikes in Pacific and Caribbean Kill Over 210

The Trump administration has conducted more than 60 airstrikes targeting boats suspected of drug trafficking off Latin America's Caribbean coast and in the eastern Pacific. The campaign has resulted in over 210 deaths in total. The latest strike hit a vessel in the eastern Pacific, killing two people. The operations are part of a broader US military effort to combat drug smuggling in the region.

UK widow ordered to demolish mini-farm she built on cleared fly-tip wasteland

Tara Dexter, a widow from West Sussex, UK, transformed a neglected £57,000 fly-tipped plot into a small working farm following the death of her partner from cancer. Over two years, she developed the land to house pigs, chickens, peacocks, and around 2,000 plants. Authorities have since ordered her to tear down key structures on the property after she lost a planning appeal. The ruling puts the future of her farm, which she built as a personal project after her loss, in serious jeopardy.

Macaron-V1 proposes continual AI self-improvement using modular LoRA adapters in production

Researchers have introduced Macaron-V1, a framework designed to enable AI models to continuously learn and improve after deployment rather than remaining static. The system addresses a longstanding problem in machine learning where deployed models gradually become less relevant as real-world conditions diverge from training data. Macaron-V1 achieves this through two key architectural ideas: treating deployment as the start of a learning cycle and using lightweight Mixture-of-LoRA adapters attached to a frozen base model, avoiding costly full retraining. The framework also introduces Model-Harness Co-design, where the model and its surrounding infrastructure — including feedback loops and evaluation contracts — are versioned and updated together as a unified system. Each improvement cycle collects real-world interaction signals, evaluates outputs against a quality benchmark, and either promotes or discards the updated version before repeating the process.

BDH-CQ Model Uses Silent Latent Reasoning to Slash ARC-AGI Inference Costs

Researchers have developed BDH-CQ, a model that performs visual reasoning without generating intermediate language tokens, instead absorbing patterns silently into its recurrent hidden state. The approach addresses a longstanding tradeoff in AI benchmarks where cheaper inference typically meant lower accuracy and vice versa. Tested on the ARC-AGI-1 benchmark — a visual abstract reasoning challenge — a 150-parameter variant achieved 29.5% pass@2 accuracy at a cost of just $0.0007 per task. Unlike standard language models that process examples as text tokens, BDH-CQ updates its internal memory state directly from demonstrations, bypassing linguistic bottlenecks. The result establishes a new cost-efficiency frontier, suggesting that making AI reasoning invisible to the user does not necessarily compromise its effectiveness.

Researchers Find Encrypted LLM Reasoning Tokens Vulnerable to Cross-Model Extraction

A new research paper reveals that major AI companies' method of hiding model reasoning traces through encryption is fundamentally flawed. Providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google encrypt their models' internal reasoning steps before sending them to users, intending to keep the thought processes proprietary. However, researchers found that these encrypted tokens are designed to be universally compatible across all models and sessions within a provider's ecosystem, creating an exploitable architectural weakness. Because a token generated by one model can be read by another within the same family, attackers can potentially extract proprietary reasoning traces by routing tokens across compatible models. The vulnerability does not stem from broken encryption itself, but from the deliberate design choice to prioritize cross-model convenience over strict user-level isolation.

Indiana widow's 20-year legal battle helped protect Lake Michigan dunes land

Drusilla Carr, an uneducated widow from Indiana, spent over two decades defending her ownership of 120 acres of Lake Michigan shoreline. As the city of Gary grew and the lakeshore gained commercial value, she faced multiple legal challenges from those seeking to take her land. Carr continued fighting these battles until her death, never surrendering her claim. Years later, a portion of her former property was included in a 212-acre land donation. That land eventually became part of the protected Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore.

Kern: Lightweight Container Runtime Packed Into a 1.5 MB Daemonless Binary

A developer has released Kern, a container and resource runtime tool shared on Hacker News. The project stands out for fitting its full functionality into a single binary of just 1.5 megabytes. Unlike conventional container runtimes, Kern operates without a background daemon process, simplifying deployment and reducing overhead. The project is open source and hosted on GitHub under the getkern organization. It received modest early attention on Hacker News with a small number of upvotes at the time of posting.
