S1No, new measurements can't relax the Hubble tension There’s a big puzzle when it comes to the expanding Universe: a puzzle so large that many have declared there’s a crisis in cosmology. That puzzle is known as the Hubble tension, as two different classes of approaches to measure how fast the Universe is expanding lead to different, incompatible results. The “early relic” method, which relies on cosmic signals imprinted during the hot Big Bang that persist even as the Universe ages, leads to ~67 km/s/Mpc, with an uncertainty of just 1 km/s/Mpc. Meanwhile, the “distance ladder” method, which involves determining the distance to progressively farther away objects, leads to a value of ~73 km/s/Mpc, with again an uncertainty of just 1 km/s/Mpc.But another group, using a different distance ladder method than the most precise one, finds an in-between value of around 70 or 71 km/s/Mpc for the rate of expansion, with an uncertainty of 2 or 3 km/s/Mpc. Many sources are claiming that this can resolve the Hubble tension, and that perhaps there is no crisis in cosmology after all, just an over-reliance on overly confident claims.

S2Lead with love and follow 5 principles of "energetic success" Energy plays an integral role in our daily lives. Whether constructive or destructive, the personal energy of organizational leaders and team members plays a pivotal role in the dynamics of the workplace. Constructive energy fosters productivity, creativity, and a sense of fulfillment among employees. When leaders embrace positive personal energy, their positivity becomes infectious and leads to a vibrant and engaged workplace culture. Conversely, destructive energy hinders performance, breeds resentment, and stifles innovation. These constructive or destructive energies significantly impact individuals, teams, and ultimately the entire organization.It’s possible to create shifts that ensure a team operates within a constructive energy zone. Companies can leverage these five “energetic success” principles to help employees shift their own energy as well as the energy of those around them, and so foster a motivational workplace culture.

S3The 3 phases of AI evolution that could play out this century It’s clear there’s a lot of fear and misinformation about the risks and role of AI and the metaverse in our society going forward. It may be helpful to take a three-phase view of how to approach the problem. In the next 1-10 years, we should look at AI as tools to support our lives and our work, making us more efficient and productive. In this period, the proto-metaverse will be the spatial computing platform we go to learn, work, and play in more immersive ways. In the following 11-50 years, as more and more people are liberated from the obligation of employment, we should look at AI as our patron which supports us to explore our interests in arts, culture, and science, or whatever field we want to pursue. Most will also turn to the metaverse as a creative playground for expression, leisure, and experimentation. In the third phase, after 50+ years (if not sooner), I would expect the world’s many separate AGI (artificial general intelligence) systems will have converged into a single ASI (artificial superintelligence) with the wisdom to unite the world’s approximately 200 nations and help us manage a peaceful planet with all its citizens provided for and given the choice of how they want to contribute to the society.

S4Has psychiatry lost touch with individuals? People who suffer from mania are often characterized as inhabiting a world in which time seems to have sprinted ahead. They are said to have a flight of ideas, racing thoughts, rapid speech. In contrast, those with depression seem to suffer from the opposite: They languish in bed, unable to get up, seem to stumble over words, their thoughts and movements materializing only slowly, like wafts of smoke.But these kinds of subjective experiences receive little attention from clinicians or neuroscientists outside of the niche field of phenomenological psychiatry.Psychiatrists Evan Kyzar and George Denfield, who conduct neuroscience research at Columbia University, published a paper not long ago in Nature advocating for a greater emphasis in psychiatric practice and research on these elements of lived experience: not just the experience of time, but the feeling of an emotion, how one’s perception of their own body structures how they relate to the world, or the salience of stimuli—which features of experience attract attention, such as bright colors, fast movement, personal relevance, loud sounds, or distinctive smells. They say this might help us identify successful new psychiatric treatments, something the field has struggled with over the last couple of decades. Most of today’s treatments have been around for a long time.

S5The brain's "switch" that puts fear into overdrive Fear is essential for survival, serving the important evolutionary purpose of increasing an organism’s vigilance and alerting it to dangerous and potentially life-threatening situations. An inappropriate fear response can, however, be harmful. Such responses are triggered in the absence of any real threat and play a role in a variety of anxiety disorders, as well as in conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Fear occurs in response to certain environmental cues or in specific contexts. Inappropriate responses can occur when fear generalizes to other situations, but we still know very little about the neural mechanisms underlying these processes. Recent research published in the journal Science now provides fresh insights into the molecular mechanisms by which the brain turns stress into fear, suggesting ways in which inappropriate fear responses could be prevented.

S6Ford Opens Mobility Tech Hub in a Detroit Landmark Few companies evoke the names of the cities where they're based as immediately as Ford and Detroit. The automaker has deep historical roots in the life, work, and industry of Michigan's largest city, and now the company is moving to ensure that connection remains vibrant in future decades. On Thursday the company plans to open a nearly $1 billion tech hub and research campus to "develop, test, and launch new urban transportation solutions"---and provide space for local retail, hospitality, and service businesses to support the tech companies working there.The company Henry Ford founded back in 1903 will host a gala concert Thursday to re-open the Michigan Central train station, soon to be the crown jewel in a 30-acre tech hub and research campus. The auto giant bought the disused station in 2018 for $90 million, and the spectacular Beaux-Arts building has been restored to its original 1913 splendor, reversing the ravages of abandonment since it closed in 1988. Now, the former transit hub will serve as an incubator for emerging transportation and energy technologies to power them, whether on the ground or in the air.

S7Intel's CEO Just Called Out Nvidia's Jensen Huang While Unveiling New Product Features In a keynote address that was otherwise full of technical jargon and corporate product demos, Intel chief executive Pat Gelsinger just took a moment to revel in some C-suite pettiness: throwing shade at one of his biggest rivals, Nvidia co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang.Speaking earlier this week in Taiwan at the 2024 Computex conference, Gelsinger called out Huang by name in a dig at his competitor's assertions that the rate at which computer chips improve has been slowing down. Both Intel and Nvidia are computer chip firms, but the latter's market cap is more than 20 times larger.

S8Release of Biden Audio Could Lead to Deepfake Fraud, Justice Department Warns Releasing an audio recording of a special counsel's interview with President Joe Biden could spur deepfakes and disinformation that trick Americans, the Justice Department said, conceding the U.S. government could not stop the misuse of artificial intelligence ahead of this year's election.A senior Justice Department official raised the concerns in a court filing on Friday that sought to justify keeping the recording under wraps. The Biden administration is seeking to convince a judge to prevent the release of the recording of the president's interview, which focused on his handling of classified documents.

S10Microsoft's AI Recall Feature Can Be Easily Hacked, Security Researcher Finds In principle, Microsoft's new Recall system sounds like a useful tool for anyone using a PC at work. The AI-informed system regularly takes a snapshot of what you're doing on screen, and lets you search for important data you may have lost track of as you work. But security experts who looked closely at how Recall works conclude that the system could pose serious security risks.Recall is built into what Microsoft is calling "Copilot+" PCs--the tech giant's vision of how the boring, traditional computer will become a 21st century AI-powered workhorse. When it launched, Microsoft explained that Recall wouldn't capture certain things on your PC's screen--like copyrighted video on apps like Netflix, or private browser sessions on its Edge web browser--but that it would see everything else.

S13Why OpenAI Employees Are Calling for Whistleblower Protections A group of current and former employees, mainly from AI giant OpenAI, are calling for their employers to bar the use of non-disparagement agreements and allow whistleblowers to speak publicly about concerns that the companies they work for are prioritizing growth and profit over safety. The move comes as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's investments outside the company are scrutinized by various media outlets. Seven former and four current OpenAI staffers signed an open letter stating that since AI companies have weak obligations to share information about their technology with governments, and none with civil society, "current and former employees are among the few people who can hold them accountable to the public." But wide-ranging confidentiality agreements mean that if whistleblowers decide to speak out, they risk losing their vested equity in the company. The other two signers were a current and former employee of Google DeepMind.

S14Hybrid Work Is Creating More Super Commuters Employee commutes to the office are getting a lot longer than you might think. According to new research from Stanford University, the rise in hybrid work has led to an uptick in the number of employees who travel well over an hour to the office.Leveraging data from transportation analytics firm INRIX, Stanford economists Nick Bloom and Alex Finan found that while shorter commutes (trips between 20 and 34 miles) have decreased overall since the pandemic, longer commutes have become more common. This includes "super commuters," or those traveling for a total of five hours per work day. Their share of the overall percentage of commuters to the 10 largest U.S. cities is now a third higher than it was four years ago.

S20A New Model for Continuous Transformation Traditionally, transformation efforts are organized as programs with a defined beginning and end. Rooted in a change model popularized by German American psychologist Kurt Lewin in the 1950s, this approach involves three stages: “unfreeze, change, and refreeze.” Although it is effective for discrete projects like implementing a new payroll system, this model falls short in today’s dynamic business environment. The continuous evolution of the external landscape demands ongoing business transformation, with no room for pausing, refreezing, and stepping away. This article describes the three key strategies needed to support continuous transformation: adopt an agile mindset, use aspirations to continuously challenge and stretch the organization, and build transformation into the company’s operating rhythm.

S21Brazil's flood disaster set off a torrent of AI misinformation Since the beginning of May, the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul has been devastated by heavy rain. At one point, four months worth of rainfall fell over the course of three days. Weeks later, much of the state capital is still flooded, and over half a million people are displaced. It’s the worst flood in Brazil’s history, and given the ongoing rainy season, it may take weeks more before the waters fully subside.Amid the chaos of the disaster, misinformation has taken root. One image flagged by a popular Brazilian account shows a helicopter draped in the branding of a local retailer rescuing victims from floodwaters. “The photo that’s being shared on WhatsApp is actually a prompt-generated image,” @mphistoria wrote on X. “These so-called AIs must be regulated urgently.”

S22How this mental health care app is using generative AI to improve its chatbot Andrea Campos struggled with depression for years before founding Yana, a mental health care app, in 2017. The app’s chatbot provides users emotional companionship in Spanish. Although she was reluctant at first, Campos began using generative artificial intelligence for the Yana chatbot after ChatGPT launched in 2022. Yana, which recently launched its English-language version, has 15 million users, and is available in Latin America and the U.S.At first, we didn’t use generative AI because we believed it was far from ready for mental health support. We designed and guardrailed our chatbot’s responses with decision trees. But when ChatGPT launched and we saw what it could do, it wasn’t a question of whether to use generative AI or not, but how soon — we’d fall behind otherwise. It’s been a challenge because everyone quickly began developing with generative AI, but our advantage was that, having operated our chatbot for a while, we had gathered over 2 billion data points that have been invaluable for our app’s fine-tuning. One thing is clear: It’s crucial to have a model tailored to the specific needs of our product.

S27This Hacker Tool Extracts All the Data Collected by Windows' New Recall AI When Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed the new Windows AI tool that can answer questions about your web browsing and laptop use, he said one of the âÂÂmagicalâ things about it was that the data doesnâÂÂt leave your laptop; the Windows Recall system takes screenshots of your activity every five seconds and saves them on the device. But security experts say that data may not stay there for long.Two weeks ahead of RecallâÂÂs launch on new Copilot+ PCs on June 18, security researchers have demonstrated how preview versions of the tool store the screenshots in an unencrypted database. The researchers say the data could easily be hoovered up by an attacker. And now, in a warning about how Recall could be abused by criminal hackers, Alex Hagenah, a cybersecurity strategist and ethical hacker, has released a demo tool that can automatically extract and display everything Recall records on a laptop.

S34Ask an Expert: How Do I Deal With Microaggressions at Work? If you’re experiencing exclusion, bias, or microagressions at work, how should you approach the situation? LeRon L. Barton — writer, author, and speaker who has written about navigating the workplace as BIPOC leader — shares his advice. Know you’re not alone. When you are a person of color in a workplace that is predominately white, your work is likely to be carefully (and unfairly) scrutinized. Know that your experiences are valid and worth addressing. Document everything. Whenever you have a negative experience, write it down. Note the time, date, what was said, and who said it. These instances can serve as evidence, backing up any accusations you might bring to management. Find your allies. Acknowledge if others are experiencing similar treatment, and document this as well. Don’t assume, however, that others will be eager to collaborate with you on confronting management or HR. While speaking up about harassment is absolutely necessary to drive change, the process can also take a big emotional toll. It’s possible that others experiencing the same treatment may not be in a place to take that on. Confront management. If your issue is not being handled in a way that is appropriate, you may want to consider addressing your concerns with your boss’s manager or HR. During these meetings, talk about what you have been experiencing, bring the notes and documentation you have written, and explain what management has not done and what they should be doing. Know when to leave. If you address these problems with your direct manager, their management, and HR, and nothing changes, then that organization is not the right place for you. You can take their lack of action as a clear sign that you are not respected or valued there. And rest assured, while things may feel bleak right now, there are workplaces that prioritize belonging, inclusion, and psychological safety.

S41Google changes repair policy after criticism of third-party parts ban Google has changed its repair policy in response to criticism from repair advocate Louis Rossmann. Rossmann dug through the Google Store's "Service & Repair Program Terms & Conditions" for its first-party mail-in repair service and found the same style of onerous bans on third-party parts that Samsung was recently caught using. Section D, article 4 of the terms include the rather incredible line "Unauthorized Parts: You will not send in a Device containing non-Google-authorized parts – if You do, Your Device will not be returned to you." That's right, according to the terms, Google would keep a device sent in for repair, and you wouldn't get it back.

His approval rating has been stuck not at just under 50 percentâthe historic marker of whether incumbents get reelectedâbut at about 40 percent, occasionally even less. It's been that way for nearly a year and a half. And the age issue is still very real.
