The Zuckerbergs Are Hiring a Lifeguard but Calling It a 'Beach Water Person'
The Zuckerbergs Are Hiring a Lifeguard but Calling It a'Beach Water Person' The job, which is associated with the Zuckerberg family office, is located in Kauai, Hawaii, where the Meta CEO owns a massive compound. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan are hiring a seasonal, on-call "Beach Water Person" based in Kauai, Hawaii, where the family owns a sprawling compound, according to a new job listing on Greenhouse associated with West 10, the Zuckerberg family office. This is an interesting choice for a job title, because according to the job description, the primary duties of this "Beach Water Person" include serving as a "Beach Lifeguard," and "Pool Lifeguard." The job listing names a few additional duties related to water activities, such as instructing "stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), canoe paddling, snorkeling, and other ocean-based activities." These, however, come after the water safety duties in the job description.

Microsoft's boring Surface laptop update has one feature I actually want
PCWorld reports Microsoft's new Surface for Business lineup features Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors and a notable privacy screen technology for protecting sensitive information. The 13-inch Surface Laptop maintains its $1,499 price while the Surface Pro increased significantly to $1,949, offering up to 17 hours battery life and triple monitor support. The standout privacy screen feature prevents others from viewing displays, making these incremental updates particularly appealing for business security needs. Microsoft announced new Surface for Business laptops and tablets on Tuesday. Sadly, you already know what to expect: three new Surface Laptops, in 13-and 15-inch display sizes, and a new Surface Pro tablet, too.
A faster way to estimate AI power consumption
Due to the explosive growth of artificial intelligence, it is estimated that data centers will consume up to 12 percent of total U.S. electricity by 2028, according to the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Improving data center energy efficiency is one way scientists are striving to make AI more sustainable. Toward that goal, researchers from MIT and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab developed a rapid prediction tool that tells data center operators how much power will be consumed by running a particular AI workload on a certain processor or AI accelerator chip. Their method produces reliable power estimates in a few seconds, unlike traditional modeling techniques that can take hours or even days to yield results. Moreover, their prediction tool can be applied to a wide range of hardware configurations -- even emerging designs that haven't been deployed yet.

Zoe Kleinman: Why the AI industry is the real winner of the Musk-Altman trial
It is not only OpenAI but the AI race itself that was vindicated in the California courtroom last night . Even though Elon Musk essentially lost on a technicality, there's a clear signal from the verdict that making lots of money from AI and competing fiercely with rivals is simply business. The industry sometimes tries to display a united front, especially when it comes to safety, research and inclusivity. But this case served as a powerful reminder that none of the AI giants are charities and don't have to be, even if they once said otherwise. Cracks in the façade of industry collaboration for the sake of humanity have been exposed before.
The US Built a Site to Ensure Fair Access to Public Lands. Then Everything Went Wrong
The US Built a Site to Ensure Fair Access to Public Lands. Recreation.gov was supposed to make access to public lands more equitable and streamlined. It's a few minutes before 8 am Mountain Time on March 16, the day that river permit cancellations are released on Recreation.gov, the federal website for public land reservations. Rec.gov, as it's commonly called, administers everything from river permits and timed entrance fees at the most popular national parks to campground reservations on remote sites belonging to the Bureau of Land Management, and a lot of people are recreating on public land these days. There were 11 million reservations on the site in 2024, up significantly from 3.5 million reservations reported in 2019. At the center of it all is an unlikely player in the outdoor recreation space: The site is operated by the government contractor Booz Allen Hamilton, a corporation known more for cybersecurity than rafting trips. Early each year, outdoor enthusiasts gear up for Recreation.gov's annual lotteries for some of the most iconic experiences in the country: a river trip down Idaho's Middle Fork of the Salmon River, which flows through the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness. Backcountry permits to hike into the Wave, an otherworldly rock formation in Arizona's Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness. Overnight stays in the rugged, lake-studded Enchantments, in Washington's Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. Odds of getting a desirable Middle Fork permit are around 2 percent.
Windows 11's firewall has a blind spot. These tweaks close it
PCWorld highlights that Windows 11's default firewall lacks proper outgoing connection monitoring, allowing programs to send data unchecked and potentially exposing users to malware communication. The article covers essential security tweaks including enabling DNS over HTTPS encryption, activating Microsoft Defender Network Protection, and disabling obsolete protocols like NetBIOS and LLMNR. Implementing these network hardening measures transforms Windows into a more controlled system that blocks unauthorized connections and protects against credential interception attacks. Windows' built-in network protection is like a front door that is locked from the outside, but through which any resident can carry valuables outside without being checked. By default, Microsoft allows almost any program to send data out without being checked -- this is known as a lack of egress filtering. If you want to know which apps are sending data back to their developers, or wish to prevent malware from contacting its command server -- the so-called command-and-control instance -- in the event of an attack, you need to tighten the reins. With the right filters and targeted protocol hardening, you can transform the open Windows data highway into a strictly controlled border crossing that checks every outgoing packet thoroughly.
Musk vs Altman: What to know about the OpenAI verdict
On Monday morning, a jury in Oakland, California, announced its verdict in one of the most-watched tech feuds between billionaire Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The nine-member jury handed a decisive victory to Altman, saying Musk had waited too long to bring his claims against the artificial intelligence company and its top executives. Musk, who cofounded OpenAI as a nonprofit, had filed a $150bn lawsuit against the organisation, Altman and its president, Greg Brockman, accusing them of turning it into a for-profit entity for personal enrichment. Instead, the case became focused on a procedural issue. After deliberating for less than two hours, the jury unanimously found that the statute of limitations had expired before Musk filed the lawsuit in 2024, meaning jurors concluded he had waited too long to bring his claims under the applicable legal deadline.
