It’s hard to overstate the effect that Daytona USA had when it landed like a dinosaur killing meteorite in arcades in 1993. Its liquid smooth textured graphics, powered by hardware known as Model 2, set a new standard for video game visuals, but what you might not realise is that, eventually, Sega shared that technology with other companies.

So in 1996 we got the lesser known Super GT 24h made by Jaleco on the same hardware foundation.

Olmo is the LLM series from Ai2—the Allen institute for AI. Unlike most open weight models these are notable for including the full training data, training process and checkpoints along with those releases.

The new Olmo 3 claims to be “the best fully open 32B-scale thinking model” and has a strong focus on interpretability:

At its center is Olmo 3-Think (32B), the best fully open 32B-scale thinking model that for the first time lets you inspect intermediate reasoning traces and trace those behaviors back to the data and training decisions that produced them.

An Ohio IT contractor has pleaded guilty to breaking into his former employer's systems and causing nearly $1 million worth of damage after being fired.

Maxwell Schultz, 35, impersonated another contractor to gain access to the company's network after his credentials were revoked.

Announcing the news, US attorney Nicholas J. Ganjei did not specify the company in question, which is typical in these malicious insider cases, although local media reported it to be Houston-based Waste Management. The Register contacted Waste Management for clarity, but it did not respond.

Starting Jan. 1, 2026, the phone carrier will begin charging $3 a month for its Apple TV “On Us” perk, which has been free for “Plus”-level phone plan customers since 2021.

Driscoll, who met with Zelenksyy, told a group of European ambassadors afterward that the continent couldn’t match the Russian defense industry’s output, so Ukraine won’t be able to claw back territory. The time for a settlement had arrived, he said, according to one diplomat, a European official in the room and a person familiar with the meeting. Some of Driscoll’s conversation, including his message about industrial capacity, has not been previously reported.

“No deal is perfect, but it must be done sooner rather than later,” Driscoll said, according to the European official at the meeting. U.S. armed forces “love” Ukraine and stand by its military, Driscoll said, but “the honest U.S. military assessment is that Ukraine is in a very bad position and now is the best time for peace.”

Once limited to policing the nation’s boundaries, the Border Patrol has built a surveillance system stretching into the country’s interior that can monitor ordinary Americans’ daily actions and connections for anomalies instead of simply targeting wanted suspects. Started about a decade ago to fight illegal border-related activities and the trafficking of both drugs and people, it has expanded over the past five years.
