In collaboration with Privy and Blockaid, we just added... transaction simulations to Abstract Global Wallet. This major security feature will now simulate transactions before they're submitted to check for safety. Additionally, token transfer results and transaction calldata will be shown to users before they sign their transaction. This has been a major feature that we've wanted to add in for a longtime. Our goal is to make AGW as safe as possible for users. Transaction simulation brings us closer to that goal.show more

Okay this is really cool. Codex app has a... new feature that is really useful. Highlight any text, and you'll notice a new popup. "More Details" uses GPT 5.5 Instant to explain in more detail about the highlighted portion of your text, allowing you to understand the reasoning/concept/statement/etc in greater detail. What's interesting about this versus a side chat is that it's instantaneous, and still retains context from the thread. With /side chat, you'd have to type out a prompt "what are the details on this?" With "more details" the prompt is implicit and the response is instantenous Very nice feature, as I'm always making side chats/branches to expand/learn/understand agent outputs better.show more

This footage is apparently the first showing a Ukrainian... vehicle loss in the new Kursk offensive. It's possible that this is a couple of days old, as usually drone footage takes a while to be edited and released, but it's also possible that they rushed this one out to demonstrate that Russia is working on repelling the Ukrainian offensive.show more

This week highlighted a real problem with free-speech in... the Welsh Parliament. When you have the Presiding Officer telling elected members they can't use language 'that has the potential to inflame debate', you don't have debate at all. Parliaments are exactly where difficult debates should be had, but these restrictive rules stifle such arguments, forcing Senedd Members to be silent on the issues that they were voted in for. Mark my words, Reform will always fight for free-speech. If that means some of us are kicked out of the Chamber for doing so, so be it.show more

Microsoft is testing a new feature in Windows 11... called Low Latency Profile that gives a short boost to your CPU for 1 to 3 seconds when you open apps or menus. Early tests show Microsoft apps like Edge and Outlook open up to 40% faster, while the Start menu and other menus can load up to 70% faster, with CPU use jumping high for a few seconds then dropping right back down. Microsoft says this is normal because Apple does it in macOS and Linux, plus phones use the same type of quick CPU boosts for better speed. The feature is only in early Insider testing now, so it is not out for everyone yet.show more

Big moment for text-to-speech. Qwen just open-sourced a text-to-speech... model that lets you clone voices, design new ones, and control speech using natural language. Let me explain what I mean: You can literally tell it "speak in a cheerful tone with slight nervousness," and it actually does that. No complex audio engineering needed. What makes this special: - 3-second voice cloning - Covers 10 languages: English, German, French, and more - Latency as low as 97ms for real-time applications - Supports both streaming and non-streaming generation The model comes in two sizes (0.6B and 1.7B parameters), so you can pick based on your hardware and quality needs. Three modes to work with: 1. Custom Voice: Use pre-built premium voices with instruction-based style control 2. Voice Design: Describe the voice you want in plain English (or Chinese), and the model creates it 3. Voice Clone: Provide a 3-second reference audio and clone that voice The best part? It integrates with vLLM for production deployment and has a simple Python package you can pip install. I've shared a link to the GitHub repo in the next tweet.show more
