Apple stopped signing the iOS 18.0 system
Apple stopped signing up for iOS 18.0, which means that users who have already upgraded to a later version will no longer be able to downgrade on their own. Apple has released iOS 18.0.1 a week ago (October 4). Apple periodically stops signing up for older versions of iOS, usually within a week or two of the new version being released. When Apple stops signing updates, the update will no longer be able to be installed on iPhones due to server-side software validation checks, so those who have updated to the latest version of iOS can't downgrade. Preventing downgrades encourages users to keep their operating systems up-to-date and install the latest security fixes. (IT House)

The new Nobel laureate praised his student for firing Sam Altman
Professor Geoffrey E. Hinton of the University of Toronto, Canada, has won the 2024 Nobel Prize Physicist of the Year for his fundamental work on AI neural networks, and his work on AI has earned him a reputation as the godfather of AI. In his speech on Tuesday, he specifically praised one student — former OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever — for being involved in firing CEO Sam Altman. I'm particularly fortunate to have a lot of very smart students – smarter than me – who do the real job," Professor Hinton said. They have since achieved outstanding results. I'm especially proud of one of the students for firing Sam Altman. Ilya Sutskever's OpenAI board made the decision late last year to fire the CEO of the sought-after AI startup, but the operation was ultimately unsuccessful, Sam Altman was reinstated as CEO, and major players, including Sutskever, left OpenAI within a year.
