Samsung Electronics Co. plans to spend more than 110 trillion won ($73.3 billion) on capital expenditure and research in 2026, reflecting expansions in memory chip capacity as well as exploration into fields such as AI. The investment will go toward securing its leadership in AI technology, it said in a brief statement Thursday. Samsung, SK Hynix Inc. and Micron Technology Inc. are enjoying an unprecedented surge in demand for the high-end memory essential to Nvidia Corp. accelerators for developing AI. But the shift in production is in turn fomenting a historic shortage of conventional memory chips that go into most modern devices from cars to smartphones.
Bizarre outbursts at the press, a backstory full of mishaps – the US ‘secretary of war’ earns his keep as the loyalty hire par excellence Has there ever been a more ludicrous political character than Pete Hegseth, the US government’s so-called secretary of war, who makes Ronald Reagan look understated and urbane?

Bizarre outbursts at the press, a backstory full of mishaps – the US ‘secretary of war’ earns his keep as the loyalty hire par excellence Has there ever been a more ludicrous political character than Pete Hegseth, the US government’s so-called secretary of war, who makes Ronald Reagan look understated and urbane? Last week, Hegseth launched an attack on the American press for its coverage of Iran, which he called insufficiently “patriotic”. (A CNN commentator and former Republican congressman came back with “punk” and “cry baby” to describe Hegseth’s own demeanour.) When he stands at the podium with his Mr Incredible jaw and head extended, turtle-like, way out in front of his body, all you can think is this: which is a greater threat to American national security, Iran’s nuclear ambitions or Hegseth’s failure to meet even the most entry-level requirements for a person in his position? The majority of Americans who know who he is – only about 70% of them, according to a recent survey by the Pew Research Center – don’t like the guy, and his petulant outbursts last week at the Pentagon can’t have helped. Since Donald Trump appointed him in January last year, what has become evident about Hegseth is that, like so many bullies, he backs down sharpish if he meets any significant pushback. “Jennifer, you’ve been about the worst,” snapped Hegseth to a Fox News reporter last June in a phrase we should all have had printed on T-shirts. (Jennifer Griffin elegantly countered “I take issue with that,” and Hegseth backed away and pivoted to another point.) Continue reading...
One morning last February, in a chilly studio in Brussels, 28 people in white coats gathered to watch Sylvie Van der Kelen paint the sky. “The first touch of the brush is generally the best,” said Van der Kelen as light, pink-tinged clouds began to appear. “It is preferable not to make revisions.” For a few days this winter I was allowed to sit in on classes at the École Van der Kelen-Logelain, a ...
One morning last February, in a chilly studio in Brussels, 28 people in white coats gathered to watch Sylvie Van der Kelen paint the sky. “The first touch of the brush is generally the best,” said Van der Kelen as light, pink-tinged clouds began to appear. “It is preferable not to make revisions.” For a few days this winter I was allowed to sit in on classes at the École Van der Kelen-Logelain, a mythologised painting school in Brussels that is unlike any other arts education institution in the world. Run by the same family since it was founded in 1892, the Van der Kelen course takes place every winter underneath its glass and wrought iron roof, extending out of the back of a gothic brick townhouse. View image in fullscreen A trompe d’oeil relief art work at the Van der Kelen. Photograph: Felix Bazalgette Students must arrive by 9am, otherwise they will be shut out until lunchtime; they must not bring phones or cameras into the school’s workspace; they must wear white lab coats while they work; and they must work in silence. They also must be able to stand the cold: the studio is ineffectually heated by an ancient single wood-fired stove nicknamed “la mama”, an ancient metal contraption that gently ticks over by the entrance. If students can tolerate these strictures, by the end of the six-month course they will possess a number of specialised skills, from sign painting and lettering to the application of gold and silver leaf, and manipulation of textural finishes. The core of the course, though – what the school is most famous for – is its trompe l’oeil painting techniques. Literally translated as “deceive the eye”, trompe l’oeil refers to a genre of illusionistic painting with a history stretching back to the time of the ancient Egyptians, in which artists use textures, shading and tricks of perspective in order to create three-dimensional illusions. At the Van der Kelen, students learn to conjure fake relief sculptures and architectural details out of flat surfac...

“I like a bit of chaos and structure both on and off the pitch,” says Midtjylland’s technical director, Kristian Kjær. “Getting the right mix is most important.” Perfecting this balance has enabled the Danish side to thrive in Europe, powered by a global recruitment model and innovation. Nottingham Forest travel to the MCH Arena on Thursday seeking to overturn a one-goal deficit from the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie, having also lost to Midtjylland in the group stage this season. This is the furthest the Danish club, founded in 1999, have progressed in Europe. “It must have been insane to be starting the club [just over] 25 years ago and then see where we are today,” says Kjær. “What a ride.” Seventeen nations and four continents are represented in an eclectic group, designed to play direct football. Making the team cohesive is the first challenge. There was a team bonding camp in Scotland and players are encouraged to suggest a national dish to be enjoyed in the canteen. “It takes one bad apple to ruin a good culture,” says Kjær. “One of the secrets in Midtjylland is that we are trying to bring in good people with the right mindset, who are also skilled and want to share their wisdom and also are open to new ideas. One of our core principles is that we like to be a family club. We take care of each other, not only on the pitch but off it, too. We believe when you know each other a bit more in detail, it’s also easier to be demanding.” Four Danish Superliga titles have been lifted in the past 11 years, but Europe has been a struggle at times. Their most notable continental outing in England before this season was as the opponents in Marcus Rashford’s Manchester United debut, when he announced himself with two goals in the Europa League. Midtjylland are now making their own Europa League mark, winning six league stage matches on their way to finishing third in the table, above Real Betis, Porto and Roma.

Women and girls are bearing the brunt of water shortages and a lack of sanitation around the world, hindering the economic and social development of poorer countries, the UN has warned. Women are responsible for collecting water in more than 70% of rural households that do not have access to mains water across the developing world. Women and girls collectively spend 250m hours a day collecting water globally. The climate crisis is exacerbating the problem, according to a new report from the UN. A 1C rise in temperature reduces incomes in female-headed households by 34% more than in male-headed ones, while also causing women’s weekly labour hours to increase by an average of 55 minutes relative to men’s. The UN has called on countries to address the imbalance, which is leading to poorer health and worse educational prospects for women, while also affecting food security. Khaled El-Enany, the director general of Unesco, said: “Ensuring women’s participation in water management and governance is a key driver for progress and sustainable development. We must step up efforts to safeguard women and girls’ access to water. When women have equal access to water, everyone benefits.” The World Water Development report found that data on women and girls was hard to come by, as many countries and international institutions do not collect statistics broken down by sex. But the authors said it was clear women have been severely disadvantaged in access to water for health, cooking, sanitation and agriculture, and that countries were moving too slowly to address the issues. Alvaro Lario, the president of the International Fund for Agricultural Development, and the chair of UN-Water, which produced the report with Unesco, said: “We need women and men to manage water side by side as a common good that benefits the whole of society.” Poor sanitation disproportionately affects women, with an estimated 10 million adolescent girls in 40 lower-income countries surveyed in one study missin...

Years of thin margins and rising costs have already stretched them to the limit. And now, war with Iran is making things even harder. The conflict is driving up global energy and fertilizer prices, pushing producers into tough decisions about what to plant and at what price to sell. At the same time, farmers are still dealing with the impact of tariffs, rising land costs, and stiff competition from agricultural powerhouses like Brazil.

The polymath French film-maker might be a pessimist, but his Oscar-nominated animated film is one of light and hope – even if he did have to fund it himself There are grey clouds over Los Angeles, and the sky is spitting. “It never rains in LA,” says Ugo Bienvenu. “But every time I come here, it rains.” For the past eight months, the French animator has been on the campaign trail, in LA and elsewhere, with Arco, which was nominated for best animated feature at the Oscars on Sunday. It’s a gorgeous family animation, combining ET’s big heart with the artistry of Studio Ghibli. But travelling has meant being absent for long stretches from his home in Paris, where he lives with his wife and two small children. This trip, Bienvenu’s family has flown out to LA with him for the first time, which explains why he’s speaking to me over a video call from a drizzly garden. “I’m outside, so they can make noise,” he says, lighting a cigarette. As he paces, I catch a glimpse through the patio doors of his four-year-old daughter kneeling at the coffee table, colouring. Continue reading...

The prosecution: Chantelle double quotation mark Friends and family have noticed that we don’t hold hands and it’s become a running joke My boyfriend, Hugo, and I have been together for five years and he’s never been keen on holding my hand. I’d prefer it if he showed me some affection. It’s a small thing that reassures me about the relationship. Hugo says he likes to keep his hands free to gesticulate, and that he doesn’t like public displays of affection, but hand-holding is pretty low down on the rung of the PDA ladder. In my family, we are quite huggy and used to touching. Hugo went to boarding school and I’m convinced that’s why he doesn’t like it. I went to school round the corner from my house. I still hold my mum’s hand when we’re out. double quotation mark One time he did take my hand in front of my friends. They took a photo for a laugh as it’s such a rare sighting Sometimes it bothers me when we are in a group and I see other people doing it. I say: “Hugo, just man up and hold my hand.” But he doesn’t like being asked. Once, he did take my hand in front of my friends. They took a photo for a laugh as it’s such a rare sighting. It’s become a running joke among my friends and family. There are times he will take my hand for a bit, but then, as an excuse to stop, he’ll go to pick something up and make out he needs both hands free to do it. Hugo is a lovely boyfriend and does lots of really nice things for me. It’s just that hand-holding is such a rare occurrence for us. When we moved house and had a really stressful day, we decided to go to the pub to drown our sorrows. I was exhausted, and to my delight, Hugo voluntarily took my hand. He realised in a time of stress that it’s a nice thing to do. I commented on it as it felt so unusual. I said, “Wow, is this because we’re having a bad day?” He just smiled. On our anniversary, he might hold my hand, as it’s a special occasion. If it’s just us two in the park with nobody else around and he’s in a good mood, he...

Sprawled prone in the dirt, the cold metal of a baseball bat cracking against his skull, spine and down to the legs that had once propelled him to glory, Luvo Manyonga experienced an epiphany. This existence could not continue; he must change his life or die. Manyonga had been a drug addict for as long as he could remember, seeking recreational highs that provided the opposite of the performance-enhancing shortcuts that some of his deceitful athletics rivals might have pursued. At times, he just about kept his habit in check. Never for long periods – not even when at his sporting peak. But sufficiently enough for him to win South Africa’s first world long jump title in London in 2017, a year after he had claimed Olympic silver in Rio. Manyonga’s best leap of 8.65m a few months before that world gold was the biggest anywhere in the world for close to a decade, and his publicly-stated goal was to become the first person in history to jump nine metres. It did not seem beyond the realms of possibility. But, lying prostrate on the floor while receiving a beating for his latest misdemeanour in late 2023, such sporting aspirations seemed a lifetime ago. Manyonga was stuck in a desperate cycle, forever craving the euphoria of his next hit. Having already served an 18-month ban in 2012 for using tik, a form of crystal meth prolific in South Africa’s townships, he was handed a four-year suspension from athletics in late 2020 for failing to update his whereabouts for doping testers as his addiction again spiralled into a chaotic existence. The man who had jumped over cars for fun as a teenager and whose effervescent personality had endeared him to athletics fans worldwide began plunging to new depths. Dropped by his management and starved of the sport that provided salvation, the sudden death of his mother left him bereft. “I felt like there was nothing left for me,” says the 35-year-old Manyonga, his taut muscles rippling under a smart polo shirt providing a contrast to the g...

Premier League and EFL clubs will be more vulnerable to unfair dismissal claims from sacked managers and released players from next year after changes to employment law. Under the Employment Rights Act (ERA), which comes into effect on 1 January, employees will gain protection from unfair dismissal after six months rather than two years of service. In another significant change, the cap on compensation awards at employment tribunals of £118,223 will be removed, giving dismissed managers and players a far greater incentive to bring a claim. A combination of the requirement for two years’ service and modest payouts have protected clubs from unfair dismissal claims, but that could change from next year. The League Managers Association and Professional Footballers’ Association have discussed the potential benefits of the ERA for their members in meetings with the leagues and clubs but are waiting to assess its impact. Antonio Conte brought an unfair dismissal case against Chelsea on an apparent point of principle after he was sacked in 2018. After winning his claim he was awarded £85,000 by the London employment tribunal, on top of the £26.6m the club had paid the Italian and his coaching staff in compensation as per their contracts. Joe McMorrow, a partner in the employment law practice at Pinsent Masons, said the ERA would probably have major consequences for football clubs that many may not have foreseen. “Historically, nearly all disputed manager or player exits, other than transfers, have been resolved through arbitration or settlement agreements, rather than through an employment tribunal,” he said. “This is where we may see a fundamental shift. “It will be much harder for clubs to avoid unfair dismissal rights being pursued through a tribunal. The government has talked about the ERA as a once-in-a-generation change to employment rights, and it could have big implications for football.” In addition to managers being able to sue for unfair dismissal if sacked after...

With private company defaults running at upwards of 9.2% — the highest rate in years — VC firm Lux Capital recently advised companies relying on AI to get their compute capacity commitments confirmed in writing. With financial instability rippling through the AI supply chain, Lux warned, a handshake agreement isn’t enough. But there’s another option entirely, which is to stop relying on external compute infrastructure altogether. Smaller AI models that run directly on a user’s own device — no data center, no cloud provider, no counterparty risk — are getting good enough to be worth considering. And Multiverse Computing is raising its hand. The Spanish startup has so far kept a lower profile than some of its peers, but as demand for AI efficiency grows, this is changing. After compressing models from major AI labs including OpenAI, Meta, DeepSeek and Mistral AI, it has launched both an app that showcases the capabilities of its compressed models and an API portal — a gateway that lets developers access and build with those models — that makes them more widely available. The CompactifAI app, which shares its name with Multiverse’s quantum-inspired compression technology, is an AI chat tool in the vein of ChatGPT or Mistral’s Le Chat. Ask a question, and the model answers. The difference is that Multiverse embedded Gilda, a model so small that it can run locally and offline, according to the company. For end users, this is a taste of AI on the edge, with data that doesn’t leave their devices and doesn’t require a connection. But there’s a caveat: their mobile devices must have enough RAM and storage. If they don’t — and many older iPhones won’t — the app switches back to cloud-based models via API. The routing between local and cloud processing is handled automatically by a system Multiverse has named Ash Nazg, whose name will ring a bell for Tolkien fans as it references the One Ring inscription in “The Lord of the Rings.” But when the app routes to the cloud, it lose...

Franco-German defense firm KNDS NV is in talks with clients in the Middle East to provide additional equipment for drone defense, Chief Executive Officer Jean-Paul Alary said. “Drones are playing a key role in this war today, of course KNDS is also one of the players that could bring some capability in terms of counter-drone,” Alary told reporters at an event in Munich on Wednesday. The maker of Leopard tanks and Boxer and Serval armored vehicles has set a goal of doubling or even tripling production capacity in coming years, as it prepares for an initial public offering targeted for this year. Alary said the company, co-owned by the French government and Germany’s Wegmann family, sees value in focusing on land-based weapons, and doesn’t want to venture into other domains such as space or naval systems. “There is plenty to do in land defense and we are totally focused on that,” Alary said. One of his main concerns is the fragmentation of military spending in Europe and the inefficiencies that result, Alary said. He is working to alleviate these issues by selling gear that is interoperable on a system level, but which can be customized to suit national needs. KNDS plans to add capacity with new factories in Germany, France and beyond. Alary reiterated that the company intends to go public this year. “We are running according to plan and the IPO will come in 2026,” the CEO said.
