HPE argues that enterprises should judge AI infrastructure by fully loaded cost per merged pull request, not token prices, and track spending per active developer. It says a hybrid setup—routing routine work to on-premises open-weight models and complex tasks to frontier APIs—cut token costs by 30–50% across workloads from more than 150 internal applications.
Simon Willison says the U.S. Census Bureau changed its business survey terminology from “artificial intelligence” to “Super Intelligence” beginning with data collection on October 19, 2026, in response to Executive Order 14434. He also notes that an earlier survey change—from AI used to produce goods or services to AI used in any business function—makes the adoption figures before and after November 2025 not directly comparable; the first results using the new “SI” wording had not yet been published.

Prices start at HK$699,900 for the seven-seater and HK$759,900 for the six-seater; the model offers a claimed combined WLTP range of 1,154 kilometers. The Hong Kong version differs from the all-electric G9L Xpeng launched in Europe.
The Leafs Nation argues that Sergei Bobrovsky must improve soon after a poor start with Toronto: nearly all his starts have included at least three goals allowed, and his five-on-five goals-saved-above-expected ranks sixth-worst in the NHL. The article says Toronto’s crowded Atlantic Division and limited alternatives to Bobrovsky make his turnaround urgent, while GM John Chayka and Bobrovsky express confidence in his track record and ability to rebound.
Commonwealth Fusion Systems says it will present plans at the American Physical Society’s Division of Plasma Physics conference for operating its SPARC tokamak toward Q>1, when fusion output exceeds the energy used to sustain the fusion process. The company is evaluating multiple operating configurations, including low-confinement mode at a 12.2-tesla magnetic field and high-confinement mode at 8–9 tesla; CFS says SPARC is being assembled and is expected to turn on next year.

The article examines how AI agents may reshape shopping, media, and online services, citing research led by University of Toronto professor Akshit Kumar that found agents ignore sponsored listings and vary in how they rank search results. Microsoft economist David Rothschild and other experts see agents enabling direct payments and fewer intermediaries, but warn that companies such as Meta and OpenAI could use them to keep users inside proprietary platforms.
Researchers led by Ting Xu and Ching-Yu Cheng at the National University of Singapore developed RetiME, a deep-learning tool that estimates mortality risk from retinal photographs. Trained on a European cohort and tested in three independent cohorts across Southeast Asia, Eurasia and North America, it was associated with all-cause and cause-specific deaths and generated lifespan-risk trajectories showing distinct cancer, cardiometabolic and neurodegenerative patterns.
Merula says that people who want a COVID-19 vaccination but were not invited can still book one through the GGD appointment website. She says the site’s list of eligible groups may be misleading because it notes that anyone who wants a shot can make an appointment.

It uses Unix identity over a local socket or signed SSH challenges, and offers features including Markdown threads, notifications, search, edit history and moderation through a REST API and terminal or Emacs clients.
The Foss Comics story traces BSD’s early development at UC Berkeley: Bill Joy assembled the first Berkeley Software Distribution in 1977, then created 2BSD with tools including vi and the C shell. It also recounts how Joy and graduate student Ozalp Babaoglu added virtual memory to VAX Unix, producing 3BSD, which began shipping in December 1979 and drew interest from DARPA.
BW ESS says its 350 MW/1.24 GWh Hams Hall battery in the West Midlands entered commercial operations on November 2, just 20 days after energization. The company says it is Europe’s largest operational battery by energy capacity; a planned expansion would raise the site to 400 MW/1.42 GWh.

Chinese automakers have reportedly traveled to Beijing to seek allocations under a proposed quota for hybrid exports to the EU, Cailian reported, without naming the companies or detailing the allocation rules. A proposal reported by Bloomberg would allow 350,000 vehicles in the first year, with the quota rising 6% annually for four years; China and the EU have not publicly confirmed those figures.

In an Everything Electric podcast, host Robert Llewellyn interviews Oxford energy and climate policy professor Jan Rosenow about how electrifying transport and heating could halve global energy demand by reducing the energy wasted in today’s system. They also discuss grid pressures from data centers, battery recycling, China’s solar expansion and the role of electrification in energy security.
Hitachi’s nuclear revenue rose 48% year over year in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 to ¥65.3 billion, while its overall Energy segment revenue climbed 28% to ¥960.4 billion, largely on grid-equipment demand from data centers and transmission projects.

Armando Picón argues that AI agents can take on more coding and assist with design and testing, but engineers must still decide what to build and whether the evidence supports accepting it. He recommends keeping architectural decisions reviewable, defining small increments with explicit acceptance cases, and checking agent output with tests and hands-on review; he says the article presents a working position, not a controlled study or proven productivity gain.
