Banking 2.0: The Stablecoin Banking Revolution -- How Digital Assets Are Reshaping Global Finance
The global financial system stands at an inflection point. Stablecoins represent the most significant evolution in banking since the abandonment of the gold standard, positioned to enable "Banking 2.0" by seamlessly integrating cryptocurrency innovation with traditional finance infrastructure. This transformation rivals artificial intelligence as the next major disruptor in the financial sector. Modern fiat currencies derive value entirely from institutional trust rather than physical backing, …

Probably today OpenAI will announce GPT-5 which will not be a revolution, AGI or anything like that. It will just be a next step for OpenAI mainly integrating it's mess of models/numbers/names (4, o3 etcetera), the question will be how much improvement there will be in the actual models used, probably not dramatic because the previous models are quite good already. Time will tell.

Smart Car Privacy: Survey of Attacks and Privacy Issues
Automobiles are becoming increasingly important in our day to day life. Modern automobiles are highly computerized and hence potentially vulnerable to attack. Providing many wireless connectivity for vehicles enables a bridge between vehicles and their external environments. Such a connected vehicle solution is expected to be the next frontier for automotive revolution and the key to the evolution to next generation intelligent transportation systems. Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) are emer…

Rydberg Atomic Receiver: Next Frontier of Wireless Communications
Rydberg Atomic REceiver (RARE) is driving a paradigm shift in electromagnetic (EM) wave measurement by harnessing the electron transition phenomenon of Rydberg atoms. Operating at the quantum scale, such receivers have the potential to breakthrough the performance limit of classic receivers, sparking a revolution in physical-layer wireless communications. The objective of this paper is to offer insights into RARE-empowered communications. We first provide a comprehensive introduction to the fun…
