📰 Ubuntu 26.04 fixes Papers bug that sent PDF links to wrong page

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS is prepping a bug fix update to Papers, the document viewer that replaced Evince in 25.04, resolving several annoyances – including internal PDF links that jumped to the wrong page. The internal link snafu only occurred in some PDFs, not all, and typically took you to a page one off the actual target. Annoying.

OpenAI recommends outcome-first prompting for GPT-5.6 and Codex

OpenAI has released updated prompting guidance that prioritizes desired outcomes over rigid step-by-step instructions. This approach allows reasoning models like GPT-5.6 to independently determine the most efficient search, tool, or reasoning path to reach a goal. The framework is built around four optional components: goal, context, output format, and boundaries.

Chinese researchers achieve 100-fold AI speed boost using optical interconnects

Researchers at Peking University have developed an all-optical interconnect system that links standard electronic chips to significantly accelerate artificial intelligence processing. This breakthrough utilizes specialized hardware to replace traditional electrical connections between chips with high-speed optical "joints." By integrating these optical links with custom algorithms, the system achieves AI inference speeds up to 100 times faster than conventional methods.

DeepMind CEO faces skepticism over U.S.-led global AI watchdog proposal

Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, is pushing for a global AI regulatory body to oversee the development of frontier models. This proposed watchdog would be led by the United States, utilizing its economic and technical standing to enforce international safety standards. Hassabis argues that American leadership is necessary to prevent a "race to the bottom" as artificial general intelligence approaches.
