The Milky Way's stars are gradually being ejected
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=16603&nl=daily]

Whenever we look up at the great expanse of the night sky, it’s easy
to forget, from a cosmic perspective, just how confined our views are
to our own backyard. The brightest objects of all are the Sun, Moon,
and planets like Venus and Jupiter: objects right here in the Solar
System. The glittering canopy of a dark night sky contains thousands
of stars visible to the human eye: all of which are within our Milky
Way, and most of which are within a few thousand light-years. Even the
deep-sky objects, like nebulae and galaxies, are all contained within
our Local Group. Despite the tens of billions of light-years that the
expanse of the observable Universe stretches out for, nearly all of
what’s most easily visible to us is right here in our local cosmic
neighborhood.But the grandest sight of all is the expanse of the Milky
Way itself, stretching across the entire night sky. Within it, streams
of light-blocking neutral matter stand in the way of hundreds of
billions of stars, creating a diffuse glow that — with powerful
enough observatories — can be resolved into individual points of
light. It was once thought that these stars were all relatively stable
in orbit around the Milky Way: like the planets within our Solar
System. However, some revolutionary scientific discoveries have
happened since that outdated picture held sway, and we now know that
some of these stars have already received kicks that will soon eject
them from the galaxy entirely. By investigating further, we can learn
something about the Milky Way and, in turn, all galaxies: after a
finite amount of time, they’ll dissociate, rather than being
devoured by their central black holes. Here’s the story of stellar
ejection.

Everybody wants to rule the world — or at least lead their corner of

you get power and status. People look to you for guidance, and you
make the decisions. Did we mention the money? Because the pay is
definitely better at the top.But as Adam Bryant, author and the senior
managing director of the ExCo Group, is quick to point out, that image
of leadership only represents the highlight reel. It’s far from the
whole picture.

AI model uses human irrationality to predict our next moves

Human beings behave irrationally — or as an artificially intelligent
robot might say, “sub-optimally.” Data, the emotionless yet
affable android depicted in Star Trek: The Next Generation, regularly
struggled to comprehend humans’ flawed decision-making. If he had
been programmed with a new model devised by researchers at MIT and the
University of Washington, he might have had an easier go of it.In a
paper published last month, Athul Paul Jacob, a Ph.D. student in AI at
MIT, Dr. Jacob Andreas, his academic advisor, and Abhishek Gupta, an
assistant professor in computer science and engineering at the
University of Washington, described a new way to model an agent’s
behavior. They then used their method to predict humans’ goals or
actions.

it posted ads seeking job applicants who are recent graduates or have

will be paid for by higher menu prices, and that wages will rise more
slowly in some rural markets than in urban ones. The company is also

Governor Hochul Said $15 Congestion Pricing Would Hurt New York City

At the end of this month, New York was set to become the first city in
the country to charge drivers a fee to use the city's busiest
streets during peak rush hour times, all in an effort to cut down on
traffic and emissions. To enter lower Manhattan, passenger cars would
have to pay a $15 toll. The pricing program, which New York
Governor Kathy Hochul halted just weeks before launching, was
expected to reduce traffic and raise an additional $1 billion in
revenue that would be set aside for the Metropolitan Transportation
Authority (MTA) to fund public transportation. Gov. Hochul
instructed the MTA to pause the program indefinitely. Why? To
protect small businesses, whose customers drive into Manhattan, she
said.Congestion pricing is not a new concept. The policy has been
batted around for more than 60 years. Singapore became the first place
to put the pricing scheme to the test back in the 1970s when it
began charging vehicles a toll to drive into the central business
district during morning rush hour. Other cities like London,
Stockholm, and Milan followed with their own versions, but
advocates of congestion pricing have struggled to make headway in the
car-centric United States. Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, and
Portland, Oregon have considered pricing programs, but no
American city has implemented one yet.

Professionals across the career spectrum have moments where they fear
they’re already obsolete, or becoming so. Different than the
occasional bout of self-doubt, fearing obsolescence means we
fundamentally question our professional significance. When we
over-indulge the fear, it creates cognitive distortions of ourselves,
others, and our environment that can bring us to the worst versions of
ourselves. Whether you’re early in your career and facing a lifetime
of technological and economic disruption, or later in your career and
questioning your future relevance to the world, feelings of
obsolescence don’t have to mire you in fear or futility. The
question isn’t how to avoid these feelings, but rather how to spot
evidence you’re having them and address them in healthy, honest
ways.

Medical-Targeted Ransomware Is Breaking Records After Change

When Change Healthcare paid $22 million in March to a ransomware gang
that had crippled the company along with hundreds of hospitals,
medical practices, and pharmacies across the US, the cybersecurity
industry warned that Change's extortion payment would only fuel a
vicious cycle: Rewarding hackers who had carried out a ruthless act of
sabotage against the US health care system nationwide with one of the
largest ransomware payments in history, it seemed, was bound to
incentivize a new wave of attacks on similarly sensitive victims. Now
that wave has arrived.In April, cybersecurity firm Recorded Future
tracked 44 cases of cybercriminal groups targeting health care
organizations with ransomware attacks, stealing their data, encrypting
their systems, and demanding payments from the companies while holding
their networks hostage. That's more health care victims of ransomware
than in any month Recorded Future has seen in its four years of
collecting that data, says Allan Liska, a threat intelligence analyst
at the company. Comparing that number to the 30 incidents in March,
it's also the second biggest month-to-month jump in incidents the
company has ever tracked.

âÂÂI was about to go to bed and then realized we had this
interview,â Jingna Zhang tells me. Itâ™s 9 am in
Seattle, where sheâ™s currently living. The photographer and
art director has been pulling all-nighters trying to keep up with
demand for her social platform for artists, Cara, which recently
exploded in popularity in response to widespread opposition to
Metaâ™s policies around art and artificial intelligence.
(Meta includes art from users in its training data.) More users has
led to an onslaught of complications, including a hefty $96,000 bill
from the social networkâ™s cloud storage provider, as well as
service outages. Cara began as a side project, but its newfound
prominence means that Zhang is now an accidental startup founder,
keeping the hours to match.Zhang started Cara to give artists who
oppose unethical use of AI a place to share images and network with
like-minded peers. The platform takes an explicit stance against
generative AI tools developed with training data acquired without
permission from artists, and it currently filters out all AI images.
It also offers beta integration with Glaze, a tool developed by
University of Chicago researchers to give artists a way to stop
generative AI companies from training on their work without consent.
Launched in early 2023, Cara had just a few thousand users for the
first year of its life; last week, it jumped from having around 40,000
accounts to 650,000, and is now closing in on a million users.

The first thing to know about buying a digital camera in 2024 is that
it's virtually impossible to buy a bad one. You probably have a great
camera in your hand right now. For many people, a smartphone will be
camera enough, but if you want a camera separate from your phone, read
on.The current crop of digital cameras is almost universally
fantastic. Everything on the market is capable of capturing great
images, provided you learn how to use your camera and understand the
basics of photography: composition, light, and timing. That said, you
don't want a technically good cameraâyou want the right camera for
you.

Microsoft operates Windows, so you'd think its Surface laptops would
be the best representation of the desktop operating system, right?
Well, these machines were innovative and feature-rich at the start,
and the lineup has expanded from a standard laptop to a giant desktop.
But Microsoft has stuck with minor spec bumps over the years, and
Surface laptops don't feel as well regarded as they once were.That
might be changing as the company recently announced two new AI-powered
Surface laptops, injecting some life into these computers. But it begs
the question, what's the best Surface laptop to buy? We're currently
testing the latest machines and will have our thoughts soon, but read
on for more advice on the current Surface lineup.
