The Illusion of Control: Why Siri Still Uses Cellular Data After You Turn It Off
The short answer is that turning off Siri in Settings only disables how you interact with Siri, not the underlying intelligence services that support search, suggestions, and other “smart” features across iOS.

The Quiet Engineering Revolution: How Replit’s Vibe Coding Lets CEOs Build and Engineers Scale
AI has quietly flipped the hierarchy in software development: with “vibe coding” on platforms like Replit, CEOs and product leaders can now prototype working software themselves, while engineers shift toward scaling and hard technical problems instead of being gatekeepers to execution. What looks like a UX upgrade in developer tools is, in practice, an organizational…

Absolute Cinema: Why Crypto Marketing Has Become Pure Spectacle
Crypto marketing has entered a phase where every big narrative launch, token event, or meme cycle is staged like a blockbuster premiere—and “absolute cinema” is the best shorthand for how wild, theatrical, and hyper-accelerated this ecosystem has become.

Beyond Bond Graphs: How Geometric Deep Learning Is Rewriting the Rules of Molecular Design
Geometric deep learning is rapidly transforming how scientists design molecules, offering a fundamentally new way to think about drug discovery: not as a 2D graph problem, but as a full 3D geometric learning task grounded in physics and symmetry. By encoding molecules and their interactions as structured geometric objects—graphs in 3D space, surfaces, and manifolds—researchers…

Penetration testing delivers the most value when it finds real weaknesses without causing real incidents. The organizations that do this well treat pen testing less like a “hackathon” and more like a planned surgical procedure: carefully scoped, tightly authorized, method‑driven, and continuously monitored.
