ChatGPT advises women to ask for lower salaries, finds new study

11 July 2025 @ 12:33 pm

New research has found that large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT consistently advise women to ask for lower salaries than men, even when both have identical qualifications. The study was co-authored by Ivan Yamshchikov, a professor of AI and robotics at the Technical University of Würzburg-Schweinfurt (THWS) in Germany. Yamshchikov, who also founded Pleias — a French–German startup building ethically trained language models for regulated industries — worked with his team to test five popular LLMs, including ChatGPT. They prompted each model with user profiles that differed only by gender but included the same education, experience, and job role. Then…

‘Magical thinking’ to believe UK’s AI boom won’t derail climate goals, report warns

10 July 2025 @ 5:20 pm

A new report from the University of Cambridge has warned that the UK’s push to lead in AI risks derailing its climate targets — unless urgent action is taken. According to the University’s Minderoo Centre for Technology and Democracy, the unchecked growth of AI could drive a 25-fold increase in the global tech sector’s energy use by 2040, putting massive strain on power grids and accelerating carbon emissions.  Even the most conservative scenario suggests a five-fold rise over the next 15 years. The report’s authors argue it’s “magical thinking at the highest levels” to assume countries such as the UK…

UK and France unite behind €1.5B plan to boost Europe’s rival to Starlink

10 July 2025 @ 1:53 pm

The UK government reportedly plans to invest €163mn in French satellite firm Eutelsat as Europe pushes to back a local alternative to Elon Musk’s Starlink. The investment, first reported by Reuters, follows the lead of the French state, which is set to inject €717mn into Eutelsat as part of a €1.35bn funding package to prop up the indebted satellite communications provider. The UK contribution would bring Eutelsat’s recapitalisation to around €1.5bn.  French President Emmanuel Macron thanked his “British friends” for the support in a post on X, without disclosing the deal’s value.  Eutelsat has received significant attention this year, as…

Meet the 5 space tech firms vying to be Europe’s next launch provider

9 July 2025 @ 3:28 pm

Five rocket companies will compete for contracts to provide Europe’s next launch services — and boost the continent’s troubled access to space. The European Space Agency (ESA) selected the quintet, who will now contend for two types of contracts: Providing launch services for ESA between 2026 and 2030. Demonstrating upgraded launch capabilities, including at least one flight test. The initiative — named the European Launcher Challenge (ELC) — aims to expand Europe’s pathways into the cosmos. In recent years, these routes have been painfully limited. When the Ariane 5 rocket was retired in July 2023, ESA was left with no independent…

Funding focus: Biotech dominates Netherlands’ top 10 rounds in H1 2025

9 July 2025 @ 7:00 am

Funding focus is a new series analysing cash flow into the European tech ecosystem. After debuting with a look at the biggest rounds so far this year, we now turn to the largest deals in the Netherlands for H1. Startups in the Netherlands raised just $503mn (€429mn) in the first quarter of this year — the lowest quarterly total since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Dealroom data. But three months later, the outlook has improved. Total funding for the first half of 2025 hit $1.4bn (€1.2bn). That’s down from $1.8bn (€1.54bn) at the same point last…

Media giants launch EU-backed chatbot to fight disinformation

8 July 2025 @ 1:56 pm

A group of major European media organisations has launched a chatbot aimed at combating online disinformation.  The tool, called ChatEurope, responds to queries with information verified by journalists. It was set up by a consortium of media brands led by Agence France-Presse. Fourteen other news organisations, including France Médias Monde, Deutsche Welle, El País, and Romania’s RFI, have supported the project, which is also backed by the European Commission.  The chatbot was designed by DRUID AI, a Romanian enterprise AI platform, and uses a language model developed by French startup Mistral. It’s hosted on infrastructure built by Paris-based open-source software…

AI satellites and sea drones unite to guard Europe’s waters

8 July 2025 @ 1:05 pm

Ubotica, an Irish startup specialising in edge AI for satellites, has partnered with two Dutch firms to develop an intelligence platform aimed at bolstering maritime security across European waters.  The company will work with Fugro, a provider of offshore surveying and geodata services, and DTACT, a defence-focused cybersecurity firm, to offer governments a new tool for monitoring critical underwater infrastructure, including gas pipelines and subsea cables.  The platform aims to fuse real-time data from sea, air, and space to create a dynamic picture of maritime activity. Fugro’s drones, underwater vehicles, and uncrewed surface vessels will sweep the oceans for geodata.…

Exclusive: Finnish startup raises €25M to put a ‘Donut’ motor in EV wheels

British-built Hawk-Eye software goes dark during Wimbledon match

7 July 2025 @ 2:46 pm

Wimbledon’s new automated line-calling system glitched during a tennis match Sunday, just days after it replaced the tournament’s human line judges for the first time.  The system, called Hawk-Eye, uses a network of cameras equipped with computer vision to track tennis balls in real-time. If the ball lands out, a pre-recorded voice loudly says, “Out.” If the ball is in, there’s no call and play continues. However, the software temporarily went dark during a women’s singles match between Brit Sonay Kartal and Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova on Centre Court.  At 4-4 in the opening set, Pavlyuchenkova reached game point when Kartal…

Finland taps new AI satellite to track toxic algae from space

3 July 2025 @ 11:49 am

Tech startup Kuva Space is working with the Finnish Environmental Institute (Skye) to analyse the health of the Nordic country’s waters with a specialised satellite.  The pilot test will harness Kuva’s hyperspectral sensors, which can analyse a wider light spectrum than traditional sensors. From space, the company’s probe can read the spectral signatures of almost any material on Earth — including toxic cyanobacteria. Also known as blue-green algae, these tiny organisms proliferate in Finland’s lakes and seas during summer. In high concentrations, they can be harmful and even fatal to humans and other animals.  However, cyanobacteria are visually indistinguishable from…

Why does Linux (Debian 12) file system creation fail at installation from a live USB?

Laptop: Dell Latitude E6410 HDD: WD1200BEVS – 22LAT0, not the original, taken from another laptop which reached its end of life but the HDD worked there until the end. I tried it twice.

After a while the following message appeared (translated from German, so may not be the real English one): Creating the file system ext4 of partition 1 on SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) failed. After a break I started a new installation with manual partitioning rather than managed (once with the same settings as mentioned above, once with ext4 118 GB, swap 1 GB ... who knows ... 2n disk size calculation etc.) and there I got: Input/output error during read on /dev/sda ERROR!!!

VMWare, IPV6, Containers, and MacOS using VM NIC in Promiscuous Mode: encountering duplicate IP addresses?

12 July 2025 @ 4:56 pm

I enabled promiscuous mode on a VM NIC to use containers in Solaris and Linux, I'm noticing with this enabled the router VMWare creates has a duplicate IPV6 address of a VM I created. When I invoke the DHCP client on the Linux VM DAD (duplicate address detection) finds a duplicate IPV6 address and network configuration fails. Does anyone know why there is a duplicate MAC address and the solution to this? I'm suspecting its something specific to MacOS setting IPV6 to link-local. I'm creating two VMs on the same network segment (bridgeX and vmnetX). VM containers use multiple MAC addresses on the same NIC, therefore for one of the solutions to this it's a requirement to enable promiscuous mode for a NIC in the VM server and VM OS, so other VMs can see the VM container's MAC addresses. Yes, I know it's a performance hit. I'm running VMWare Fusion on MacOS Ventura, a network in private host only mode and a DHCP server running in a VM OS container usin

How to do an offline upgrade from Windows 11 23H2 to 24H2?
