Clucky is an app for people who need to "rise with the chickens" and has challenges to get them out of bed

SAPO Tek13 September 2026 at 13:10

The Clucky app was developed for people who have difficulty getting out of bed in the morning. The app's name makes reference to the popular expression "rise with the chickens", which means waking up very early.

The problem that Clucky aims to solve is that of people who turn off their usual alarm clock and immediately fall back asleep, thus failing to start their day productively.

The strategy proposed by Clucky differs from traditional alarm clocks. Instead of simply playing until it's turned off, the app challenges users to complete a series of missions before they can silence the morning alarm.

This way, the user is forced to stay active and alert to complete the proposed tasks, making it harder to fall back asleep and facilitating the morning routine.

AI Leaders Admit to Slowing Down More Advanced Models

Leaders of the largest artificial intelligence companies admit the need to slow down the development of the most advanced models given the growing security risks. Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, proposed external evaluations with access similar to that of internal teams, a measure supported by Sam Altman and Elon Musk, clarifying that the proposal does not imply suspending model training, but creating time to test and protect the technology. Demis Hassabis, from Google DeepMind, considered the guidance correct, although he argues that the details still need to be defined. Any eventual coordination faces competitive and geopolitical obstacles, given that American companies compete for customers and market share among themselves and with Chinese groups, and it remains uncertain whether competition authorities would accept a coordinated slowdown.

How Does Wi-Fi Go Through Walls? And Why Do Some Walls Destroy It?

Wi-Fi doesn't go through walls without consequences: the signal loses energy, is absorbed, reflected and deflected by the materials it encounters. Materials like concrete, brick, metal and even water absorb or block most of the signal, while plaster, wood and glass let it pass with less loss. The signal frequency also influences things: higher frequencies (like 5 GHz) offer more speed but attenuate more quickly through obstacles, while lower frequencies (2.4 GHz) penetrate better but with less bandwidth.

Polytechnic University of Coimbra leads European project for cities more resilient to climate change

The Polytechnic University of Coimbra will coordinate the European project ResSuDSCita, with a 36-month duration and funding of approximately 968 thousand euros, aimed at developing sustainable urban drainage solutions to help cities face climate change and extreme weather events. The project, which brings together partners from Portugal, Greece, Poland, Hungary and Sweden, includes Águas de Coimbra in the implementation of pilot solutions and includes the creation of digital models with sensors, remote monitoring, artificial intelligence and machine learning. One of the most innovative aspects is the incorporation of industrial by-products in drainage infrastructures, applying circular economy principles to reduce the consumption of raw materials and transform waste into resources.
