Orliman france , a brand specialising in orthopaedic products, asked us to create an illustrated advertising campaign to highlight and give context to these everyday heroes. Every day, thousands of "everyday heroes" put intense strain on their joints. Caregivers, craftsmen, logistics workers, shopkeepers... essential professions that rely on physical strength and mobility.
Axios reports:
Anthropic's latest AI model has found more than 500 previously unknown high-severity security flaws in open-source libraries with little to no prompting, the company shared first with Axios.
Why it matters: The advancement signals an inflection point for how AI tools can help cyber defenders, even as AI is also making attacks more dangerous...
Anthropic debuted Claude Opus 4.6, the latest version of its largest AI model, on Thursday. Before its debut, Anthropic's frontier red team tested Opus 4.6 in a sandboxed environment [including access to vulnerability analysis tools] to see how well it could find bugs in open-source code... Claude found more than 500 previously unknown zero-day vulnerabilities in open-source code using just its "out-of-the-box" capabilities, and each one was validated by either a member of Anthropic's team or an outside security researcher... According to a blog post, Claude uncovered a flaw in GhostScript, a popular utility that helps process PDF and PostScript files, that could cause it to crash. Claude also found buffer overflow flaws in OpenSC, a utility that processes smart card data, and CGIF, a tool that processes GIF files.
Logan Graham, head of Anthropic's frontier red team, told Axios they're considering new AI-powered tools to hunt vulnerabilities. "The models are extremely good at this, and we expect them to get much better still... I wouldn't be surprised if this was one of — or the main way — in which open-source software moving forward was secured."

Long-time Slashdot reader Geoffrey.landis shared this report from InsideEVs:
Chinese battery giant CATL and automaker Changan Automobile are preparing to put the world's first passenger car powered by sodium-ion batteries on public roads by mid-2026. And if the launch is successful, it could usher in an era where electric vehicles present less of a fire risk and can better handle extreme temperatures.
The CATL Naxtra sodium-ion battery will debut in the Changan Nevo A06 sedan, delivering an estimated range of around 400 kilometers (249 miles) on the China Light-Duty Test Cycle. From there, the battery will roll out across Changan's broader portfolio, including EVs from Avatr, Deepal, Qiyuan and Uni, the company said. "The launch represents a major step in the industry's transition toward a dual-chemistry ecosystem, where sodium-ion and lithium-ion batteries complement each other to meet diverse customer needs," CATL said in a press release...
It delivers 175 watt-hours per kilogram of energy density, which is lower than nickel-rich chemistries but roughly on par with lithium ion phosphate batteries... Where the Naxtra battery really stands out, however, is cold-weather performance. CATL says its discharge power at -30 degrees Celsius (-22 degrees Fahrenheit) is three times higher than that of lithium ion phosphate batteries.

PALM BEACH (ANP) - De Amerikaanse president Donald Trump heeft zaterdag de Hondurese president Nasry Asfura ontvangen op zijn residentie Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach. Trump zei dat de Verenigde Staten en Honduras nauw samenwerken rond veiligheid, onder meer bij de bestrijding van drugskartels en mensensmokkel, en bij het uitzetten van illegale migranten en bendeleden uit de VS.
Asfura, een conservatief politicus en ondernemer, trad vorige maand aan na een nipt gewonnen presidentsverkiezing die werd overschaduwd door beschuldigingen van fraude en politieke spanningen. De uitslag liet weken op zich wachten door vertragingen en hertellingen.
De verkiezingen gingen gepaard met felle kritiek van de vertrekkende president Xiomara Castro, die Trump beschuldigde van inmenging. De Republikein sprak voorafgaand aan de verkiezingen zijn steun uit voor Asfura.
TUCSON (ANP) - De Amerikaanse tv-presentatrice Savannah Guthrie is met haar familie bereid te betalen om haar moeder terug te krijgen na haar vermoedelijke ontvoering in de staat Arizona. Dat zei Guthrie zaterdag in een videoboodschap op Instagram.
Volgens de autoriteiten is Nancy Guthrie (84) ontvoerd, maar de sheriff van Pima County liet weten dat er vooralsnog geen verdachten in beeld zijn. In de video verschijnt Guthrie samen met haar broer en zus. "Dit is de enige manier waarop we rust zullen vinden", zei de presentatrice van het NBC-programma Today. "Dit is van onschatbare waarde voor ons en we zullen betalen."
Nancy Guthrie werd voor het laatst gezien op 31 januari in de buurt van Tucson, nadat familieleden haar na een etentje bij haar huis hadden afgezet. Een dag later werd ze als vermist opgegeven. De vrouw wordt omschreven als slecht ter been, maar helder. De autoriteiten gaan er daarom van uit dat ze haar woning niet zelfstandig had kunnen verlaten.
De FBI loofde al een beloning van 50.000 dollar uit voor informatie die leidt tot haar terugkeer of tot arrestaties. President Donald Trump zei vrijdag te verwachten dat er binnenkort meer duidelijkheid komt in de zaak.
People’s party, which is pledging structural changes to Thailand’s political and economic system, leads opinion polls but is not expected to win outright majority
Polling stations opened in Thailand on Sunday for an election that pits a youthful pro-democracy party against rivals that are offering a mix of nationalism and populist policies.
The People’s party, which is pledging structural changes to Thailand’s political and economic system, has led opinion polls before Sunday’s vote, fuelled by support from younger voters. However, the party, led by 38-year-old former software engineer Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut, is not expected to secure an outright majority, and may struggle to build a coalition. Its candidates are also facing a looming legal battle.
