Researchers discovered that previous improvements in decoding words from brain recordings relied on timing shortcuts unrelated to actual brain activity, achieving similar results with synthetic data. By processing brain windows independently rather than jointly, they eliminated this shortcut and developed SimpleB2T, which achieves 36.6% word error rate on perceived speech tasks and enables more effective use of existing decoding strategies.
A developer built a WhatsApp client for Emacs on macOS by reading the app's local SQLite database and using the macOS Shortcuts app to send messages, avoiding Meta's lack of official API while keeping the account secure.
iOS 27 introduces a dedicated paste shortcut in the keyboard's top row that automatically suggests copied content with a preview when you open a text field, eliminating the need for manual menu navigation. The feature works seamlessly within iPhone but does not extend to cross-platform sharing with Android devices.
