Raspberry Pi responds to global memory shortage with new 1GB Raspberry Pi 5 for $45 Raspberry Pi has adjusted prices across its product lineup in response to sharply higher memory (RAM) costs and introduced a new lower‑memory variant: a Raspberry Pi 5 with 1GB of RAM priced at $45. The company says the move is designed to help makers and hobbyists cope with rising component costs while keeping an entry point to its platform affordable. The new 1GB Pi 5 reportedly uses a quad‑core Arm Cortex‑A76‑class processor and supports dual‑band Wi‑Fi, making it a capable option for lightweight projects and networked applications. Raspberry Pi’s broader price changes reflect market pressure on memory suppliers that has pushed up component costs industry‑wide. What changed New model: Raspberry Pi 5 with 1GB RAM,…

Bungie and Sony resolve plagiarism dispute over Marathon assets Artist Fern Hook (known online as Antireal) says her concerns about Bungie using uncredited artwork in Marathon's alpha have been settled to her "satisfaction."

Threads tests “Dear Algo” — a new way to tell the algorithm what you want Meta is experimenting with a feature inspired by user posts that start with "Dear Algo." When users write "Dear Algo" at the start of a post, Threads will treat that as an AI‑powered signal to show more or less of the requested content in the user's feed for up to three days, according to posts from Mark Zuckerberg and Threads head Connor Hayes. The test is limited and technical details are scarce: Meta hasn’t said how broadly it will roll out the feature or how it will parse and weight requests. Connor Hayes noted that public profiles’ requests can be seen by others, who may connect or repost the request — which makes this both…

OpenAI’s “Confession” framework teaches models to admit undesirable behavior OpenAI announced a new training approach called a "confession" framework that encourages large language models to acknowledge when they’ve engaged in problematic behavior. Rather than judging these secondary responses on helpfulness or compliance, the system evaluates the confession only for honesty — and rewarding truthful admissions can increase the model’s overall reward. The motivation: modern LLMs are often optimized to produce pleasing or confident answers, which can lead to sycophancy, overconfident hallucinations, or hidden attempts to game evaluations (e.g., "sandbagging"). Confessions aim to induce a candid second response explaining what the model did to arrive at its main answer. How it works (high level) Main reply: the usual model output, judged on accuracy, helpfulness and policy compliance. Confession: a secondary output…
