Written in 1947, Kiyoshi Tanimoto’s account of the horrors of the atomic bomb attack will be published in August and is being made into a film

The memoir of a man who survived the horrors of Hiroshima is to be published for the first time this summer after its discovery in a US archive.

The 230-page memoir was written almost 80 years ago by Kiyoshi Tanimoto, who witnessed the city’s destruction after the atomic bomb was dropped in 1945. He will now be portrayed in a major feature film by Takehiro Hira, whose acclaimed roles include the detective in the Netflix Japanese-British drama Giri/Haji. Pre-production begins in November, ahead of the shoot in February 2027.

• Win over Ghana could secure top spot in the group

• ‘We dropped too deep,’ Tuchel says of Croatia opener

Thomas Tuchel believes England were given a wake-up call by Croatia and must focus on improving their defensive structure as the World Cup progresses.

England will qualify for the knockout stages from Group L with a game to spare if they beat Ghana in Boston on Tuesday night, and will top the group if Panama then fail to beat Croatia in the later game, but Tuchel is determined not to take ­anything for granted. The head coach has placed a heavy emphasis on aggressive football and has said his side were too quick to fall back during the first half of the 4-2 win over Croatia.

With the price of the new Steam Machine starting at $1,049, you might want to consider making your own Steam Machine instead. An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Verge: Valve says that "starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want." SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including "improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms." Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve's Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been "rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it's more compatible with desktop hardware," including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has "a growing team" working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, "We're collaborating with Nvidia very closely." While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that "it's certainly something that we're working on in the background."

It's technically been possible to run SteamOS on your own hardware for a while now, but compatibility has been mostly limited to AMD systems. So far installing it has also required using a Steam Deck recovery image, a process that, speaking from experience, is much less straightforward than the installation process for most other Linux distributions. Trying to run SteamOS on Intel or Nvidia hardware has not been easy so far. According to Griffais, Valve is working to change that, which could mean that down the line, you'll be able to run SteamOS on just about any gaming PC hardware you want, including Nvidia.

For the more immediate future, Griffais says SteamOS in its current state should offer a "good experience" on console-like PC setups: "If you have something that is similar to the use case of a Steam Machine, where you have a PC that's gonna be plugged into a TV, and has a single hard drive that you're not going to try and dual boot [] you can put SteamOS on there, and you'll have an experience that is very similar to a Steam Deck docked or a Steam Machine, with some caveats, of course," like a lack of HDMI-CEC support. But "the core bits of the experience are there. The SteamOS graphics driver, the shader precompilation [...] you can get at all of that with the SteamOS." Griffais says SteamOS does not yet offer an easy way to dual-boot alongside Windows or another operating system, but envisions "a time where it's a better experience to install on your desktop and have it coexist with a different operating system."

OpenAI announced a flurry of cybersecurity-related AI news on Monday, releasing an improved version of GPT‑5.5‑Cyber, its most advanced vulnerability-finding model, along with an expanded partner program for cybersecurity vendors, an update to its Codex Security scanner⁠, and an initiative to “Patch the Planet” – or at least 30 high-profile open source projects. The announcements come as Anthropic’s Mythos mess keeps getting more complicated, with national security concerns clouding defenders’ abilities to use that AI company’s most advanced models to find and fix vulnerabilities – or perhaps it’s just politics as usual. They also coincide with a general feeling of FUD around AI cyberattacks and the impending vulnpocalype. The Reg’s vultures will keep out collective eyes on all of this. First off: GPT‑5.5‑Cyber. After releasing a preview version of the model to a select group of “trusted defenders,” OpenAI on Monday released an update that it says makes the model even better at finding – and also fixing – bugs in code. “It is our strongest model yet for finding and helping patch software vulnerabilities, while retaining GPT‑5.5’s general-purpose intelligence and ability to work across long, complex tasks,” the AI shop said. “The model can sustain deeper analysis across large codebases: identifying security-relevant components, tracing whether vulnerable code is reachable, validating likely issues in controlled environments, developing and testing patches, and preparing evidence for human review.” OpenAI said it evaluated the update and 5.5 preview using a few different benchmarks: CyberGym, which test how well AI systems can reproduce known vulnerabilities; ExploitGym, which determines how well models can turn known vulnerabilities into working exploits that achieve unauthorized code execution; and SEC-bench Pro, which measures AI systems’ long-horizon vulnerability discovery and proof-of-concept generation capabilities. The updated version 5.5 outperformed the preview model in all three tests, we’re told. On CyberGym, the updated GPT‑5.5‑Cyber reached 85.6 percent success, compared with 81.8 percent for GPT‑5.5. On ExploitGym, it outperformed the earlier model 39.5 percent versus 25.95 percent. And on SEC-bench Pro, GPT‑5.5‑Cyber hit 69.8 percent, compared with 63.1 percent for GPT‑5.5. Plus, OpenAI assures everyone that it’s had “ongoing dialogue” with the US government, including about its latest model plus upcoming releases, so hopefully that insulates the company against any surprise export controls. OpenAI also expanded its partner program. The OpenAI Daybreak Cyber Partner Program currently has about 30 security-vendor and service-provider partners, and only these select firms get to use the updated GPT‑5.5‑Cyber model. OpenAI says it plans to add more organizations to the elite group “in the coming months.” FOSS flaw-finding Also on Monday, OpenAI announced Patch the Planet, an initiative to help open source project maintainers find and patch vulnerabilities. This initiative, co-founded with Trail of Bits and launched in collaboration with HackerOne and AI-powered bug hunting outfit Calif, provides participating open source projects with ChatGPT Pro, conditional access to its Codex Security scanner, and API credits for core development, maintainer automation, and release workflows. “Maintainers define their priorities, preferences, and established disclosure processes,” according to OpenAI. “Patch the Planet security researchers then manage the work end to end - validating and deduplicating both vulnerabilities and patches before they reach maintainers, significantly reducing the burden on maintainers and speeding up remediation.” Trail of Bits reports that in the first week alone, Patch the Planet uncovered hundreds of bugs, and generated 64 pull requests with 51 issues filed across 19 projects. The 19 projects Patch the Planet assists includes cURL, NATS, pyca, Sigstore, aiohttp, the Go project, freenginx, Python and python.org, urllib3, PyPI, SimpleX, Valkey, and RustCrypto. More than 30 projects have joined so far, and project maintainers can apply to join the initiative. Some of the initiative’s highlights from the week include using GPT-5.5-Cyber to build a full-scale fuzzing lab in under a day – an effort we’re told would have take human fuzzing experts two or three weeks to do manually. Patch the Planet also used Codex to build a CVE variant analysis pipeline. This also took less than a day to complete. Speaking of Codex: OpenAI on Monday released a Codex Security plugin⁠ that the company says “enables out-of-the-box defensive security workflows,” allowing developers to integrate Codex into their workflows and CI/CD pipelines. The scanner, which was released as a research preview in March, has so far scanned more than 30 million commits across more than 30,000 codebases, according to OpenAI. Of these, human reviewers have manually marked about 70,000 findings as fixed, and AIs have auto-determined that more than 500,000 findings are fixed. In addition to performing automated scans and reviewing code changes, the new plugin can “triage and validate existing findings from scanners, advisories, bug-bounty reports, or ticketing systems, then automate patch generation at scale to quickly close a backlog of vulnerabilities,” OpenAI said. After it completes a scan, the AI coding agent can export reports to existing vulnerability management systems or integrate into tools with SARIF files and CodeQL queries. “The plugin makes these capabilities much more accessible to support automated pipelines with Codex CLI or integrate into developer workflows in the Codex app,” according to OpenAI. ®

Almost 20 years ago I was visiting Russia for work and we were walking through Red Square in Moscow around midnight. As we were enjoying the beauty a street sweeping truck entered the square and started washing down the cobblestones, leaving amazing reflections...
