Nobel Peace Prize 2026: Navanethem "Navi" Pillay won the Nobel Peace Prize 2026 on Friday "for her efforts to promote peace and international law," the Norwegian Nobel Committee said. The peace prize is the fifth Nobel awarded this week, after literature, chemistry, physics and medicine. Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado won in 2025. Five things about Navanethem "Navi" Pillay: 1. First Black woman to serve as a judge on South Africa’s High Court: Born in Durban on September 23, 1941, to Indian parents of Tamil descent, Navanethem "Navi" Pillay grew up under apartheid and went on to build a career defending anti-apartheid activists and advancing human rights and equality. Pillay became the first Black woman appointed to South Africa’s High Court in 1995, following the end of apartheid. 2. Defended anti-apartheid activists: In 1967, Pillay became the first woman to open a law practice in South Africa’s Natal province. She defended anti-apartheid activists and fought against the mistreatment of political detainees. 3. Played a key role in a landmark genocide case: As a judge at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, she contributed to the landmark Akayesu case, which established that rape and sexual violence could constitute acts of genocide under certain circumstances. She served as the tribunal’s president from 1999 to 2003. 4. Led the UN’s human rights office: She also served as a judge and president of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, a judge at the International Criminal Court and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights from 2008 to 2014. 5. Studied at Harvard and co-founded a women’s rights organisation: Pillay earned a master's degree in law in 1982 and a Doctor of Juridical Science degree in 1988 from Harvard University. She also co-founded Equality Now, an international organisation working to advance women's rights.

Trump said a committee will consult with justice department officials to decide whether there is “cause” for her removal. The White House will hold an in-person hearing on 5 November to consider the allegations against Cook, which will be closed to the public but transcribed and published. Cook will be able to submit a written statement to present her own evidence and will be subject to examination from White House and her own legal counsel.来源 1

The Ukrainian drones struck Yandex data centers in the Sasovo and Kaluga regions of Russia on October 8 and October 9, according to Reuters. Those actions came as a direct response to a Russian drone strike campaign targeting Ukraine’s data centers, which has disrupted mobile phone and Internet services for thousands of Ukrainians since late September.来源 1

Oct 9 : The US government said on Thursday it is suspending some major global tech and IT firms including Microsoft and Cognizant from a key green card program that allows skilled foreign workers to gain permanent residency through their employment.来源 1
原文位置 251–519
Senior US officials cited alleged fraud as the reason behind the move, saying companies have been using the program to replace American workers with cheaper foreign workers, and comes as the latest step in the Trump administration's crackdown on skilled foreign labor.来源 1
原文位置 548–856
The suspension is targeting a key employer-sponsorship mechanism, called the Permanent Labor Certification or PERM, which is used by major technology companies and outsourcing firms. The US government said that for certain companies, it would not accept any new PERM applications or process any pending ones.来源 1
原文位置 1792–2069
The PERM program serves as a critical bridge between temporary work status and a green card for many foreign skilled workers. Many IT firms employ hundreds of thousands of workers who typically start on temporary work visas such as the H-1B, and later seek permanent residency.来源 1
原文位置 2071–2412
Without the option to be sponsored by their employer under PERM, foreign workers could lose a key route to permanent residency and would have to stay on temporary visas for longer. For companies, recruiting foreign talent could become harder, as many workers overseas view the path to permanent US residency as a key reason for taking a job.来源 1

The move widens an ongoing crackdown on visas for foreign workers, which the Trump administration has said cost US jobs. Vice President JD Vance said, without citing specific evidence, companies are using the PERM program to replace American employees with foreign workers and undercut their wages.来源 1

“You are now enrolling newborns in a lottery to test a hypothesis,” Hansen said. The children who are randomly selected not to receive the birth dose of the vaccine, those who “lost the lottery”, face in their earliest days the risk of contracting hepatitis B, which can cause irreversible lifelong damage. “They contract hepatitis B in the context of being part of a research project,” Hansen said, which made their infection happen, in effect, “by design”.来源 1

Study finds coding efficiency gains get "absorbed" by human review "bottleneck."来源 1
原文位置 453–1030
A recent study of actual coding practices across hundreds of firms finds that human code review forms a significant “bottleneck” for the overall efficiency of AI coding tools, resulting in “little evidence that firms increase software output or reduce employment” by using them. Any efficiency increased during the actual coding phase, the study authors find, is “absorbed by downstream constraints in the production process”; as “the code review process significantly increases in length, pull requests are more likely to require revisions, and reviewers leave more comments.”来源 1
原文位置 1057–1502
To come to these conclusions, Harvard University researchers Fiona Chen and James Stratton made use of aggregated analytics data from Jellyfish, which measures the granular output of engineering teams. That data encompasses 300 million individual “work events” (e.g., commits and pull requests) and issue management software data across more than 700,000 employees at over 700 relevant software development firms from 2021 through March of 2026.来源 1
原文位置 2139–2886
In terms of raw code being produced, the results are clear and stark. The introduction of AI coding agents at a firm leads to a 30 percent increase in total lines of code generated, a 20 percent rise in the number of total commits, and a 23 percent increase in pull requests on average, the researchers write. But all that extra code doesn’t translate directly into improved software output on the firm level. On the contrary, the resolution rate for Issues and Epics (i.e. wholesale software features) tracked by tools like Jira did not change in a statistically significant way after AI tools were introduced (the researchers also found no “compositional shift” in the size or complexity of those Jira-tracked issues across the AI introduction).来源 1
原文位置 2888–3482
The reason for that discrepancy can be found directly in the code review process, which takes markedly longer on average after the introduction of AI coding agents. Overall, the average “review process” time between a pull request getting submitted and it being merged into the codebase balloons 49 percent on average after AI agents are introduced. That effect can be seen in more granular data, too, with “the share of pull requests with changes requested nearly doubl[ing], and the number of comments per pull request increas[ing] by 35%” following the AI agent shift, the researchers write.来源 1
原文位置 3484–3828
In response to this change, the researchers found a 14 percent increase in the share of workers performing code reviews after AI agents’ introduction. They also write that they “cannot attribute significant employment changes to AI” after looking at total active workers across Jellyfish and cross-referencing with LinkedIn data at those firms.来源 1

Jev is based on a transformer architecture, but it is not a large language model (LLM). It doesn’t output text, but instead produces probabilities, or what the company calls “calibrated decisions.” What has users and large corporations so excited about Jev is TypeSafe’s claim that it works significantly faster and uses far fewer tokens than LLMs. The company positions its approach as uniquely suited for automating tasks rather than generating text or code.来源 1

In a report, OpenAI said the accounts had combined the use of AI with more conventional deceptive techniques to run what it dubbed "false front" operations.来源 1
原文位置 656–942
The Russian operation allegedly involved the use of a fake think-tank targeting Latin American countries and staffed by unwitting local employees; while the Iranian operation was believed to have used fake journalist personas to pitch articles to genuine media outlets around the world.来源 1
原文位置 1289–1549
OpenAI's Oct 8 report identified a key arm of the Russian-origin operation as running a front research organisation called the Social Research Center. References to this entity were found in internal reports generated by the campaign’s operators using ChatGPT.来源 1
原文位置 1707–1939
The reports indicated that the operators had tricked locals in Latin America into working for the SRC and creating original content for it, by interviewing regional experts and writing reports that were published on the SRC website.来源 1

Researchers at NASA Ames are contributing several materials to KREPE-3, including two capsules that will fly a next-generation family of protective coverings known as Materials Engineered for Re-entry using Innovative Needling Operations (MERINO). Made from layers of carbon and phenolic fibers stitched together like felt, the materials are more flexible, faster to produce, and less expensive than traditional protective substances – making them promising candidates for Mars missions. Thanks to Mars’ thinner atmosphere, missions to land on the Red Planet involve lower heat loads and allow for lighter protection.来源 1

The first place winner of Nikon’s Small World in Motion video contest has been disqualified after admitting the video used AI in post-processing.来源 1
原文位置 147–1411
Nikon says the video that originally won first place in its Small World in Motion contest “did not comply with the competition rules regarding generative AI.” BBC reports that the original first place video from Dr. Ning Xu claimed to show “tiny, hair-like structures called cilia moving in the airway of a child with the respiratory condition PCD.” Nikon said last week that it was reviewing the video following skepticism online about its authenticity. In a comment on LinkedIn, Dr. Xu admitted to using AI for the video: “An unsupervised neural-network method was subsequently used for AI-assisted post-processing to distinguish and visualize features in the reconstructed grayscale images from the super-resolution optical imaging.” Dr. Xu’s video has now been disqualified and appears to have been removed from Nikon’s website. A video from Nguyen Nam Nhat now holds first place, according to the contest’s updated rankings. Following the incident, Nikon says it plans to “revisit rules and evaluation procedures for future competition entries.” It also noted in its statement on the contest that the decision to disqualify Dr. Xu’s video “should not be interpreted as a judgment of the entrant’s professional reputation, scientific contributions, or intent.”来源 1

The Philadelphia Police Department says Anthropic’s AI submitted a false tip about an unsolved homicide through an online portal.来源 1
原文位置 131–1768
An Anthropic AI model provided false information about an unsolved homicide to a Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) tipline, according to a report from 6abc. In a statement released on Friday, the PPD said the AI model sent the tip through PhillyUnsolvedMurders.com on July 18th, but the investigators never reviewed it because it was marked as spam. Anthropic learned its AI model sent the false tip on September 28th and notified the PPD on October 7th. The company said that during testing, its AI model was interacting with “randomly selected websites” and submitted false information through the PPD’s tipline, according to the PPD’s statement. The submission “purported to come from someone who might have information about the case,” the PPD said. After discovering the submission, Anthropic halted the testing process that led to the false tip. Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google have been the subject of increased scrutiny after disclosing that their AI models escaped testing environments and hacked third-party companies. Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic, advocated for slowing down the development of AI in response to these incidents. “The company [Anthropic] must strengthen its safeguards to prevent similar incidents from impacting city systems without the city’s knowledge,” the PPD added. “The two-month delay in detecting and reporting the incident to the City is unacceptable.” Anthropic didn’t immediately respond to The Verge’s request for comment. The company is planning to publish a report about this incident, as well as other “instances of unintended model behavior” on Friday, according to the PPD’s statement.来源 1

Asana’s 144-run study(opens in a new window) tested GPT‑6.1 Sol and three other frontier models, called here Models A, B and C. The optimized workflow that emerged on GPT‑6.1 Sol averaged $0.47 in estimated model costs and about four minutes per run, 76x cheaper and 5x faster than the original production setup on Model B.来源 1
原文位置 4174–4516
For Model B, the optimization reduced estimated model cost from at least $36.21 (some original runs reached the step limit before they finished) to $1.24 per run, a reduction of 29x. The optimized workflow on GPT‑6.1 Sol was 2.6x cheaper still, at $0.47. Every run in the optimized workflow completed the task and returned the correct answer.来源 1
原文位置 4518–4903
On GPT‑6.1 Sol alone, with the larger history budget, the new caching and screenshot policy reduced cost 4x, from $1.97 to $0.47 per run. Each call was about 3x cheaper, because 89% of the input came from cache at 5% of the uncached price. Runs also became faster: at least 22.5 minutes on the original setup on Model B, roughly four minutes with the optimized workflow on GPT‑6.1 Sol.来源 1
