The Everett, Washington-based fusion energy startup Helion announced Friday that it has hit a key milestone in its quest for fusion power. Plasmas inside the company’s Polaris prototype reactor have reached 150 million degrees Celsius, three-quarters of the way toward what the company thinks it will need to operate a commercial fusion power plant. “We’re obviously really excited to be able to get to this place,” David Kirtley, Helion’s co-founder and CEO, told TechCrunch. Polaris is also operating using deuterium-tritium fuel — a mixture of two hydrogen isotopes — which Kirtley said makes Helion the first fusion company to do…

Bitcoin’s mining difficulty decreased by 11.16% to approximately 125.86 trillion at the most recent retarget boundary around block 935,424.That marks the largest negative adjustment since the 2021 China mining ban, the sixth consecutive downward retarget, and the tenth largest negative adjustment in Bitcoin’s history.However, difficulty adjustments are lagging indicators, as they reflect what occurred over the previous 2,016 blocks rather than what’s happening now.The real question is whether the machines that went dark are coming back, or whether this retarget marks the start of a deeper miner shakeout.The most useful forward signal is the next adjustment.

Why do you need a call center dashboard? Well, if you can’t see what’s happening in your call or contact center, decisions like staffing forecasts and queue tuning turn into guesswork. And when you’re relying on guesswork, it’s harder to spot bottlenecks, coach effectively, or prove what’s working. That’s where dashboards help. Both a call center dashboard and contact center dashboard give you a clear view of what’s happening now and how performance is trending over time, so you can adjust routing, staffing, and processes with real data, not assumptions. This guide covers both the voice-first call center dashboard and…

Bitcoin’s (BTC) recent pullback may be less about crypto‑specific weakness and more about macroeconomic fears, according to André Dragosch, Bitwise’s Head of Research for Europe. In a social media post published Wednesday, Dragosch argued that the world’s largest cryptocurrency appears to be pricing in a potential deep US recession. If that downturn ultimately fails to materialize, he suggested, Bitcoin could be positioned for a significant rebound. Is Bitcoin Facing A Quantum Risk Premium? Dragosch described Bitcoin as fundamentally a macro‑driven asset. Historically, he estimates that roughly 90% of its performance can be explained by broad economic forces such as growth…
11 Feb Explanation Of The Current Market Dynamics Posted on 11 February, 2026 in Bitfinex Alpha by tammy Since the break below our 10/10 lows, which marked the largest liquidation event in crypto history, the market has been in a downtrending phase. The latest leg down was not driven by liquidations but rather by aggressive spot selling. The spot volume delta metric highlights that the same entity (or a group of entities) have been distributing supply particularly during peak US sessions during UTC 6:00 – UTC 10:00 and UTC 13:00 – UTC 16:00. A majority of the distribution came between…
Let’s be real for a second: do we really need another AI tool? My browser tabs are already a chaotic battleground of ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. I rely on them daily for creative writing, drafting, brainstorming, vibe coding, and to make memes. But when it comes to finding accurate, real-time facts without the hallucinations, those chatbots sometimes fall short. That is exactly why I keep coming back to Perplexity.
