OpenAI releases Prism, a Claude Code-like app for scientific research

OpenAI is releasing a new app called Prism today, and it hopes it does for science what coding agents like Claude Code and its own Codex platform have done for programming.

Prism builds on Crixet, a cloud-based LaTeX platform the company is announcing it acquired today. For the uninitiated, LaTeX is a typesetting system for formatting scientific documents and journals. Nearly the entire scientific community relies on LaTeX, but it can make some tasks, such as drawing diagrams through TikZ commands, time-consuming to do. Beyond that, LaTeX is just one of the software tools a scientist might turn to when preparing to publish their research.

Amazon Cutting Another 16,000 Jobs as Tech Giant Continues “Removing Bureaucracy”

Amazon is cutting another 16,000 jobs as the technology giant continues to remake itself in “a world that’s changing faster than ever,” as noted in a memo to staff Wednesday from Beth Galetti, who leads human resources operations for the company.

“As I shared in October, we’ve been working to strengthen our organization by reducing layers, increasing ownership, and removing bureaucracy,” Galetti wrote. “While many teams finalized their organizational changes in October, other teams did not complete that work until now.”

As she noted, Amazon cut 14,000 jobs in October, meaning that the cuts will total 30,000 employees worldwide.

Jeff Buckley scores first US top 100 hit after 32 years thanks to TikTok boost

Jeff Buckley has scored his first hit on the US Top 100 charts after 32 years, thanks to a boost on TikTok.

The song in question is ‘Lover, You Should’ve Come Over’ from his critically acclaimed studio album, ‘Grace’.

Shared back in 1994, the record marked the only full studio album from the singer-songwriter, before he tragically died in 1997 of accidental drowning. He was aged 30.

DOOM’s Switch Release Still Has A Compatibility Issue On Switch 2

DOOM’s Switch Release Still Has A Compatibility Issue On Switch 2

En actionfylld digital konstillustration av dånande dödsdjur och demonlika varelser mot en brinnande, apokalyptisk bakgrund, inspirerad av Doom-tema, perfekt för gaming- och fantasyentusiaster.

Since the launch of the Switch 2, Nintendo and developers have been working to make as many Switch games as possible compatible with the new system.

One of the many titles that has experienced issues on this hybrid device is Bethesda’s DOOM reboot, which launched in 2016 and eventually made its way to the Switch in 2017 with the help of the talented team at Panic Button.

Although issues with the title on the Switch 2 were thought to have been resolved in a compatibility update last November, it appears there are still some problems to iron out. While the title is now officially ”supported” in terms of Switch 2 compatibility, according to Nintendo, the ”game behaviour may vary from Nintendo Switch”.

Apple updates iOS 12 for the first time since 2023

Apple updates iOS 12 for the first time since 2023

Monday was a good day for fans of small Apple updates. Early in the morning, we got the 2nd-generation AirTag, which is visually identical to the original model but adds a larger speaker and better tracking. Then it delivered iOS 26.2.1, iPadOS 26.2.1, and watchOS 26.2.1 to support the new accessory. Finally, Apple also announced the 2026 Black History Month Apple Watch band.

But even if you don’t have an iOS 26 iPhone and have no intention of buying a new AirTag, Apple has something for you, too. Alongside the 26 releases, Apple has also updated several of its older iOS operating systems, some for the first time in years. They include: iOS/iPadOS 18.7.4, iOS/iPadOS 16.7.13, iOS/iPadOS 15.8.6, and iOS/iPadOS 12.5.8. (Of note, iPad OS wasn’t split apart from iOS until version 13, though Apple’s iOS 12.5.8 security page still references iPad OS.)
