The pace of implementation is dizzying, even alarming—including to
some of those who understand the technology best. Earlier this week,
employees and former employees of OpenAI and Google published a letter
declaring that “strong financial incentives” have led the industry
to dodge meaningful oversight. Those same incentives have seemingly
led companies to produce a lot of trash as well. Chatbot hardware
products from companies such as Humane and Rabbit were touted as
attempts to unseat the smartphone, but were shipped in a barely
functional state. Google’s rush to launch AI Overviews—an attempt
to compete with Microsoft, Perplexity, and OpenAI—resulted in
comically flawed and potentially dangerous search results.Technology
companies, in other words, are racing to capture money and market
share before their competitors do and making unforced errors as a
result. But though tech corporations may have built the hype train,
others are happy to ride it. Leaders in all industries, terrified of
missing out on the next big thing, are signing checks and inking
deals, perhaps not knowing what precisely it is they’re getting into
or if they are unwittingly helping the companies who will ultimately
destroy them. The Washington Post’s chief technology officer, Vineet
Khosla, has reportedly told staff that the company intends to “have
A.I. everywhere” inside the newsroom, even if its value to
journalism remains, in my eyes, unproven and ornamental. We are
watching as the plane is haphazardly assembled in midair.

“ONE OF THE key questions is—does that seal work? We think it will
work, but it may not work,” said Elon Musk, the boss of SpaceX, on
June 5th, as his company’s Starship rocket was being prepared for
its fourth test flight the following day. He was referring to one
particular component of the rocket: the thermal protection around the
steering flaps used during re-entry from orbit. Mr Musk was talking to
Tim Dodd, a YouTuber known as Everyday Astronaut. In the event, the
test flight went well: the launch went as planned and there was no
“rapid unscheduled disassembly” (ie, catastrophic explosion). But
the focus on the seal around those flaps proved to be strikingly
prescient.Starship is the world’s largest rocket. It consists of two
parts: the Super Heavy booster stage, a behemoth 71 metres tall with
33 engines, and the 50-metre Starship upper stage. On Starship’s
first two test flights it failed to reach orbit; it managed on the
third, in March, but then broke apart while re-entering the
atmosphere. SpaceX’s primary goal, for the uncrewed test flight on
June 6th, was successful atmospheric re-entry of the upper stage.

Today, he says, he goes through a can to a can and a half a

lip or cheek around every 15 minutes to deliver the
maximum-available-in-the-U.S. 6 mg of tobacco-free nicotine (compared
to a cigarette’s 10-12 mg) directly to his bloodstream through the
lining of his mouth. His frequent posts—sponsored by Snus Town, an

from dreaming up new Zyn flavors to simply declaring his love for the

Huang hit another milestone on Friday, passing personal computer

insatiable.Huang, 61, is leading a new wave of tech billionaires as
AI-fueled “Jensanity,” as one analyst termed it, takes over
Silicon Valley. Other beneficiaries include Lisa Su, chief executive

The idea of a small, chest-worn, screenless, AI "communicator" device
sounded like a great idea, but in the wake of a disastrous launch, a
new report suggests why the startup Humane produced such a terrible
product with its Ai Pin. Its abject failure may have had less to
do with engineering and more to do with a flawed management
culture.Though the idea was appealing--surely everyone would want
such a Star Trek-like gizmo--almost as soon reports about Humane's
$700 Ai Pin device started to show up in the tech press last year,
critics expressed everything from doubt to scorn. When Humane
revealed a commercial for the Pin in late 2023 highlighting what it
could (and, by implication, what it couldn't) do, doubts deepened. In
April of this year, when it finally launched, reviews confirmed
early industry reactions: The device was truly awful, lacking many
expected features and sporting a limited battery life.

Zombies are commonly defined as companies that have failed to make
enough money from operations in the past three years to pay even the
interest on their loans. AP's analysis found their ranks in raw
numbers have jumped over the past decade by a third or more in
Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom and the
U.S., including companies that run Carnival Cruise Line, JetBlue
Airways, Wayfair, Peloton, Italy's Telecom Italia and British soccer
giant Manchester United.For its part, Wall Street isn't panicking.
Investors have been buying stock of some zombies and their "junk
bonds," loans rating agencies deem most at risk of default. While that
may help zombies raise cash in the short term, investors pouring money
into these securities and pushing up their prices could eventually
face heavy losses.

Seasonal Businesses Can Stay Profitable in the Off-Season. Hereâ™s
How. - Harvard Business Review (No paywall)

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=13274&nl=daily]
A seasonal business primarily derives its income during specific peak
periods, which can span from weeks to a few months. Industries facing
this cyclicality are diverse, from snow removal services and ice cream
shops to Halloween stores and Christmas tree farms. Then there are
those driven by government or deadline-based needs, such as accounting
services during tax season. Most seasonal companies are familiar with
the basics of budgeting: reviewing your financials and tracking
against them, keeping a close eye on headcount, and leaning into
part-time or seasonal staff in the peak season. But smart budgeting
alone can’t tackle all the obstacles of a seasonal business.
Companies must use outside-of-the-box thinking, effective planning,
and careful execution to ensure profitable company. This includes
building relationships with key internal and external stakeholders,
offering impeccable customer service, finding ways to pivot in the
off-season, and adopting a cash preservation mindset.

When Microsoft named its new Windows feature Recall, the company
intended the word to refer to a kind of perfect, AI-enabled memory for
your device. Today, the other, unintended definition of
“recall”—a company's admission that a product is too dangerous
or defective to be left on the market in its current form—seems more
appropriate.On Friday, Microsoft announced that it would be making
multiple dramatic changes to its rollout of its Recall feature, making
it an opt-in feature in the Copilot+ compatible versions of Windows
where it had previously been turned on by default, and introducing new
security measures designed to better keep data encrypted and require
authentication to access Recall's stored data.

June 2023 did not seem like an exceptional month at the time. It was
the warmest June in the instrumental temperature record, but monthly
records haven't exactly been unusual in a period where the top 10
warmest years on record all occurred in the past 15 years. And monthly
records have often occurred in years that are otherwise unexceptional;
at the time, the warmest July on record had occurred in 2019, a year
that doesn't stand out much from the rest of the past decade.In the
Copernicus data, a similar yearlong streak of records happened once
before, in 2015/2016. NASA, which uses slightly different data and
methods, doesn't show a similar streak in that earlier period. NASA
hasn't released its results for May's temperatures yet—they're
expected in the next few days—but it's very likely that the results
will also show a yearlong streak of records.

Presidential elections in the United States are prolonged, chaotic,
and torturous. (Please, not another election needle …) But they
don’t come close to rivaling what happens in India. The country’s
latest national election—which wrapped up this week with the
reelection of Prime Minister Narendra Modi—was a logistical
nightmare, as it always is. To set up polling booths in even the most
rural of areas, Indian election officials hiked mountains, crossed
rivers, and huddled into helicopters (or sometimes all three). More
than 600 million voters cast ballots over the course of six weeks.To
add to the chaos, this year voters were deluged with synthetic media.
As Nilesh Christopher reported this week, “The country has endured
voice clones, convincing fake videos of dead politicians endorsing
candidates, automated phone calls addressing voters by name, and
AI-generated songs and memes lionizing candidates and ridiculing
opponents.” But while experts in India had fretted about an AI
misinformation crisis made possible by cheap, easy-to-use AI tools,
that didn’t exactly materialize. Lots of deepfakes were easily
debunked, if they were convincing at all. “You might need only one
truly believable deepfake to stir up violence or defame a political
rival,” Christopher notes, “but ostensibly, none of the ones in
India has seemed to have had that effect.”

Monte Markley, a geologist who lives on a farm near Wichita, Kansas,
describes his job as “putting things underground and keeping them
there.” As an environmental consultant, he specializes in disposing
of industrial waste in subterranean rock formations. “All through my
career, I’ve helped industries deal with the things that come out of
the back side of a plant that nobody wants to talk about,” he told
me. In early 2020, he got a call from Shaun Kinetic, a co-founder of a
Bay Area company called Charm Industrial. Kinetic, who has experience
building robots, satellites, and rockets, wanted to know how to
dispose of a particularly troubling kind of waste: the excess carbon
that contributes to global warming.Markley had worked with companies
that were trying to capture and store their own carbon emissions
before they entered the atmosphere. But Charm was working with carbon
that was already in circulation. The company was adapting a machine
called a pyrolyzer, which heats plant material such as cornstalks in
an oxygen-free environment, so that the plants turned into bio-oil, a
carbon-rich liquid with the color and consistency of dark maple syrup.
Kinetic wanted to know whether it was feasible to dispose of bio-oil
underground. Markley said that it was—in fact, bio-oil would likely
remain trapped there for centuries, if not longer. The process would
resemble the drilling and burning of conventional oil, but in reverse.

patients are left out of those studies, which often fail to capture

most of the NIH is organized around diseases,” said Harper. “This
is the first time that NIH is recognizing that people are complex, and
have many factors that pertain to their health care…that cannot be

U.S. President Joe Biden apologized to Ukrainian President Volodymyr
Zelensky in Paris on Friday for the monthslong congressional delay in
approving the latest U.S. aid package. The meeting, on the sidelines
of D-Day commemoration events, was their first face-to-face encounter
since Zelensky visited Washington last December to request greater
military support.U.S. Republicans—some who directly opposed sending
additional aid to Ukraine and others who wanted the funding package,
which also earmarked billions of dollars in aid for Israel, to include
additional money for security at the U.S. southern border—had
stalled the nearly $61 billion aid deal for months before passing the
package in April. “I apologize for those weeks of not knowing
what’s going to happen in terms of funding,” Biden told Zelensky,
adding that “we’re still in. Completely. Thoroughly.”

Netflix viewers got an introduction, this spring, to a famous physics
experiment: the three-body problem. A magnetized pendulum suspended
above two fixed magnets will swing between them predictably. A third
magnet, however, randomizes the motion, not because the laws of
physics have been repealed, but because the forces involved are too
intricate to measure. The only way to “model” them is to relate
their history. That’s what Netflix did in dramatizing the Chinese
writer Liu Cixin’s science-fiction classic, The Three-Body Problem:
a planet light years from earth falls within the gravitational
attraction of three suns. It’s no spoiler to say that the results,
for earth, are not auspicious.Sergey Radchenko, a historian at Johns
Hopkins University, comes from the East Asian island of Sakhalin, a
good place from which to detect geopolitical gravitations. His first
book bore the appropriate title Two Suns in the Heavens: The
Sino-Soviet Struggle for Supremacy, 1962–1967. His second, Unwanted
Visionaries: The Soviet Failure in Asia at the End of the Cold War,
extended his analysis through the 1980s. Now, with To Run the World:
The Kremlin’s Cold War Bid for Global Power, Radchenko seeks to
refocus recent scholarship, which has sought to “decenter” the
history of that conflict, back on the superpowers for which it was
originally known.

Coffee may be one of the world’s most popular beverages but people
are increasingly turning to decaf out of concern for their health.
Surveys show that 26 million Americans report drinking decaf coffee on
a regular basis, whether it’s due to concerns over high blood
pressure, a desire to limit caffeine later in the day, to avoid sleep
disruptions, or due to caffeine sensitivities.   But regular coffee
has health benefits in its own right—including a reduced risk of
developing Type 2 diabetes, a reduced risk of developing neurological
conditions, such as dementia, and a reduced risk of death. Meanwhile,
there are rising health concerns about one particular method of
removing caffeine from coffee beans, as it uses a harmful chemical
called methylene chloride.

Pulling the camera back a bit reveals another level of significance.
It turns out that B. manfredschmidi had hominid company. The small
plant-eating ape almost certainly shared an ecosystem with the
omnivorous bipedal ape Danuvius guggenmosi, according to the report.
To say that is highly unusual would be an understatement. The
Hammerschmiede excavation site where the two species lived, about 20
miles north of the Alps, must have provided an ideal set of
circumstances for both. The site offered plenty of fresh water, with a
series of pools. A wide variety of plants must have afforded ample
dining options to the two hominid species with the differing diets.

This short-term warming doesn’t mean we’ve breached that threshold
— which concerns a longer-term span of years, not months.
Nonetheless, ”we are way off track to meet the goals set in the
Paris Agreement,” says Ko Barrett, deputy-secretary of the World
Meteorological Organization. “We must urgently do more to cut
greenhouse gas emissions, or we will pay an increasingly heavy price
in terms of trillions of dollars in economic costs, millions of lives
affected by more extreme weather and extensive damage to the
environment and biodiversity.”“Not only is CO2 now at the highest
level in millions of years, it is also rising faster than ever,”
says Ralph Keeling, Director of the CO2 Program at Scripps, quoted in
a release. “Each year achieves a higher maximum due to fossil-fuel
burning, which releases pollution in the form of carbon dioxide into
the atmosphere. Fossil fuel pollution just keeps building up, much
like trash in a landfill.”

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) accounts for 74% of the
world’s cobalt output. Although the metal is found on a large scale
in other parts of the world, like Australia, Europe, and Asia, the
African nation holds the biggest reserves by far. Of the 11,000,000
metric tons of worldwide reserves, it is estimated that 6,000,000
metric tons are located in the DRC.Since around 20% of the cobalt
mined in the DRC originates from small-scale artisanal mines, often
employing child labor, the extraction of the metal has been a point of
intense debate. With a long history of conflict, political upheaval,
and instability, the country is often listed among the poorest
nations in the world.

The matter that we’re made out of here on planet Earth is composed
of atoms: protons and neutrons in the nucleus, orbited by electrons,
that bind together in countless possible ways to produce what we
experience as the world around us. For every fundamental and composite
particle of matter that exists, however, there’s also its antimatter
counterpart: antiprotons for protons, antineutrons for neutrons,
positrons for electrons, etc. When matter and antimatter collide and
interact, they annihilate, producing pure energy and whatever
particles are allowed by the quantum laws that govern nature as well
as Einstein’s most famous equation, E = mc².But do matter and
antimatter always annihilate away when they interact? Aren’t other

is human tendency to inherently side with someone in your “group”
before you side with someone from another. Mounk argues that identity
synthesis will only further divide us, as it goes directly against the
ideologies of Black American thinkers like Fredrick Douglas and Martin

What if symptoms of chronic pain were sometimes just echoes of a past
injury, and your brain could “snap out of it” with the help of
psychedelics? It’s a surprising theory that several labs around the
world are beginning to investigate. While there have been few
double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trials
evaluating the efficacy of psychedelics for treating chronic pain,
preliminary evidence is beginning to emerge — with promising
results.Chronic pain is defined as pain that persists beyond the usual
recovery period or occurs with another condition. It may occur
continuously or happen off and on. The most common manifestations of
chronic pain are lower back pain, headache disorders, fibromyalgia,
and neuropathic pain. People treated for chronic pain often undergo
“pain management programs” that combine approaches from different
fields to customize treatments.

The idea is intuitive: It is good to be alive; it is bad to die. Yet
many, even most, resist this idea, and not just because they believe
in an afterlife. Some of the resistance comes from the worries about
what would happen to the world if we lived much longer:
Overpopulation! Stagnation! Social security and pension crises! These
are reasonable concerns: Something that appears to be good for the
individual can have such bad effects for society that in the end it is
good for no one. But more commonly, people simply appear to accept
that death comes after a full life; they do not object to death, only
untimely death.Writer David Ewing Duncan traveled the United States
giving talks on biotechnology and life extension. At each venue,
he asked the audience if they would want to live 80 years, 120
years, 150 years, or forever. People were allowed to imagine
breakthroughs in antiaging medicine. Out of 30,000 people, around 60
percent responded by saying 80 years, 30 percent said 120 years,
nearly 10 percent said 150 years, and less than 1 percent said
forever. His results were similar to those of a 2013
survey conducted by the Pew Research Center about Americans’
opinions on death. When asked how long they would want to live, 69
percent gave a number between 78 and 100. The average ideal life span
turned out to be about 90. Only 8 percent said that they would want to
live beyond 100, and only 4 percent said they would want to live
beyond 120.

Friday was the deadline for making applications available, a provision
in a 2023 initiated statute approved overwhelmingly by Ohio voters.

how long license approvals could take, but those who have helped put
together rules for the program believe the first sales could come by

same products simply for fun.

Most of you know by now that Chuck has decided to leave the show to
concentrate on other areas. He's a very talented actor and singer and
songwriter. So I want to take a minute, and I know everyone in the
studio does, and all his fans around the country, to wish Chuck
nothing but the best future success and happiness.(I cut one of these
mentions after the first ellipsis because it's part of a joke that
people would have understood in 1981, but that I'd have to take too
much time away to explain to a 2024 audience. But, you can see it in
the video.)

Retailers might think that bigger discounts attract more customers.
But new research suggests that’s not always true. Sometimes, a
smaller discount that looks more precise — say 6.8% as compared to

difference between the original and sale price — can increase
purchase intentions by up to 21%.
