They Turned A Floppy Disk Into A 10Gbps SSD 🤯#shorts
Back in the 1990s, standard 3.5-inch floppy disks topped out at a mere 1.44 megabytes of data not even enough to store a single high-resolution smartphone image today. The Hagibis Retro Floppy Disk SSD Enclosure takes that legendary retro silhouette and reimagines it for modern workflow speeds. Crafted from premium alloy and featuring a functional spring-loaded metal shutter with customizable retro write-in labels, it houses an ultra-fast M.2 NVMe SSD inside. Connecting via USB-C at transfer speeds up to 10Gbps, it blends tactile nostalgia with high-performance storage. Today on DiyTech, we check out one of the coolest retro desk tech accessories ever made. Did you ever use real floppy disks back in the day?

Google Takes Over Wyoming Data Center That Crusoe Had Pitched
Alphabet Inc.’s Google has bought out Crusoe’s data center site in southeast Wyoming, opting to take on the project itself after the AI computing upstart failed to lock in customers.
What Is Computer Science About? Or, the Most Dangerous Bug
Computer science has a bug. No compiler will ever catch it.
It might be the most dangerous one we’ve ever shipped. And with #AI, we’re about to ship it everywhere.
It starts with a deceptively simple question: what is #ComputerScience actually about?
If you said “computers,” you’re in good company.
I’d argue you’re also wrong.
The answer, and the bug, are in this article. It involves a telescope and your neighbor’s window.
Read it. Then tell me where I’m wrong.
SRI NEWSLETTER: Space Renaissance International at the 33rd UN/IAF Workshop and IAC 2026
Advancing Space for All: Scientific Contributions, Sustainable Development and International Cooperation in Antalya
Space Renaissance International (SRI) participated in the 33rd UN/IAF Workshop on Space Economy Opportunities for Emerging Nations (3–4 October) and the 77th International Astronautical Congress (IAC) 2026 (5–9 October) in Antalya, Türkiye.
Under the theme The World Needs More Space, the Congress brought together the international space community to exchange scientific knowledge, address emerging challenges and explore new opportunities for cooperation.
An unreleased Anthropic model just helped solve a major quantum-computing question
An unreleased Anthropic model helped solve a longstanding problem in quantum computing — another major math problem solved with AI.
Scientists may be closer to explaining a long-standing autism mystery
The study author told Newsweek that disrupting one autism-linked gene can have “rippling effects” on many others.
The components of agent memory
“Do Androids dream of electric sheep?”
Philip K. Dick posed the question in 1968 as science fiction. In 2026, it turns out “dreaming” is the precise architectural breakthrough required to solve enterprise AI’s biggest bottleneck: agentic amnesia.
Every time an autonomous workflow resets, it burns expensive tokens re-learning lessons it paid for yesterday. Without long-term memory maintenance, scaling AI agents doesn’t increase efficiency—it just compounds API costs and error rates.
In Anthropic’s research (“Components of Agent Memory”), they outline why agents need dedicated offline “dreaming” phases to transform raw logs into reliable enterprise tools:
* Token Optimization: Converts bulky, high-token session logs into lean, curated reference wikis—preventing context window bloat on routine runs.
* Production Reliability:* Audits past execution transcripts to turn real-world failures into permanent system rules, eliminating repeated failure modes.
Superconducting detector can count one, two or three photons at once
A Dutch physicist has reportedly come up with a superconducting light detector that can distinguish between one, two, and even three or more photons at once, and make quantum computers more accurate.
Built by Erik Baalbergen, PhD, a physicist at Leiden University in the Netherlands, the detector can not only identify whether light is present. It can also count how many individual light particles, or photons, hit its surface.
New tech passes the smell test
Our sense of smell shapes how we navigate our environment, but it’s a sensation that’s notoriously difficult to recreate in the digital world.
To overcome this challenge, researchers have developed a device that uses an artificial intelligence e-nose to detect and analyze odors. Combined with a wearable release system called Scentronic, which uses machine learning algorithms to classify data in real time, the system passed the smell test in the lab by encouraging better interactions between humans and machines.
“This work combines innovations in hardware and software to bring new solutions to societal challenges,” said Jinghua Li, senior author of the study and an assistant professor of materials science and engineering at The Ohio State University. “Our long-term goal here is to incorporate these systems into compact and personalized devices.”
