The higher price tag for coveted H-1B visas might drive up employers'

People in Iran increasingly find themselves priced out of the food

reimposition of United Nations sanctions over its nuclear program.
Iran's rial currency already sits at a record low, increasing pressure
on food prices and making daily life that much more challenging. That
includes meat, rice and other staples of the Iranian dinner table.
Meanwhile, people worry about a new round of fighting between Iran and
Israel -- as well as potentially the United States -- after the 12-day

to learn from their environments and faithfully represent an abstract

it, developers need to train AIs by using simulations of the world.
Think of it like learning to drive by playing "Gran Turismo" or
learning to fly from "Microsoft Flight Simulator." These world models
include all the things required to plan, take actions and make
predictions about the future, including physics and time.
