AI models may have helped identify a new planet 116 light-years away. A product manager with no telescope used Claude Code and Codex to scan NASA data on over 126,000 stars, flagging one whose brightness dips every 3.18 days β the same dips seen in 2018 and 2020 data. The candidate planet is about 1.4 times Earth's size and hot enough to melt lead. NASA's TESS telescope will observe the star from October 31 to confirm the timing.

iPhone owners with iOS versions up to 18.6 are massively losing cryptocurrency due to the DarkSword exploit.

Over the weekend, cryptocurrency wallets on the Qubic blockchain were compromised. On October 18, an attacker drained roughly 2.94 trillion QUBIC (about $1.3 million) from 1,404 addresses on the Qubic L1 blockchain. The flaw did not lie in the blockchain itself but in how seed phrases were generated: on iPhones and iPads in the browser, in Safari on Macs, and in an older iOS app, a weak random number generator was used, making seed phrases predictable.

You can now create a bot through another bot, provided it has Β«Bot Management ModeΒ» enabled in @BotFather. The new bot can have an additional username that doesn't end in the usual bot suffix.
Telegram's server configuration currently allows five suffixes: agent, ai, app, game, and gay.
The additional username does not replace the bot's primary username. Both remain available, while Telegram can use the new suffix to display a different status label in the bot's profile.
There are some limitations:
Γ Telegram Premium is required to use these additional usernames.
Γ Each bot can have only one additional username.
Γ A single account can have no more than two bots with these additional usernames, even if they use different suffixes.
Alternatively, you can create a bot with an additional username directly through @BotFather, without using another bot.
