Hundreds of millions of people live close enough to data centres used to power AI to feel warmer average temperatures in their local area

The official White House Android app has a cookie/paywall bypass injector, tracks your GPS every 4.5 minutes, and loads JavaScript from some guy's GitHub Pages.

The global memory shortage due to rapid AI data center expansion is hitting everyone, even the biggest tech companies in the world. Case in point: Sony is suspending orders for almost all SD card sales from both vendors and consumers, per PetaPixel. The announcement was made on Sony's Japanese website, and explicitly blamed the lack of available memory as a reason why it can't fulfill SD card orders for the time being.

When Gary Herbst, described by his Minnesota neighbors as confrontational, disappeared on July 8, 2013, it appeared he walked out on his wife and teenage son. Years later, a startling discovery would confirm what neighbors thought they might have witnessed. Kaia Kraml: They were also carrying out a carpet or some sort of rug and also throwing it in the back of the truck … So we were watching the scene and I turned to Chad and I was like … "What is going on?" And Chad looked at me and he said, "Kaia, I think they finally killed him." Peter Van Sant: And did — the two of you ever think we should share what we've witnessed with the police? Kaia Kraml: Absolutely not. Chad Kraml: No. As a matter of fact – Peter Van Sant: Because – Kaia Kraml: He was horrible. And soon after that night, they say Connie and Austin seemed completely different. Kaia Kraml: It was good. It was fun to see them actually happy.

Scientists have used pig semen to develop eye drops that can stop tumour growth in the retina and preserve vision, a study1 in mice shows. The work is published today in Science Advances. It is hoped that the drops could be developed to treat children with retinoblastoma, a cancer of the retina. The condition is typically treated with injections of drugs into the eye, chemotherapy or laser therapy, all of which can damage non-cancerous parts of the eye. Yu Zhang and colleagues at Shenyang Pharmaceutical University in China wanted to develop a method that could penetrate the barrier around the retina and deliver the drugs without causing any unnecessary damage.

Lebanon's president condemns 'blatant crime', as Israeli strikes kill more journalists.

Staring up from the base at the high walls of the Montana Bowl, a backcountry ski zone in Revelstoke, British Columbia, feels like gazing upon a deadly cathedral. My eyes naturally gravitate to the dangerous bits, but I realize they're pinballing around wildly, because it's almost all dangerous bits. Front and center is a zone they call Bar Fight, a series of increasingly terrifying cliffs and choke points. The terrain to the west is more inviting, but it's riddled with huge man-made jumps, some of which require a perfect landing in order to avoid becoming mush on a tree. There are two fresh debris fields, evidence of small, naturally occurring avalanches. My overwhelming thought is that I can't believe they're about to hold a snowboarding contest on that stunning monstrosity.

Whales have high levels of cognition and complex social lives, but studying this massive marine species has been challenging. Maalouf et al. used high-density drone imaging and advanced network analyses to reveal the dynamics of a sperm whale birth in the Caribbean. They found that other females assisted the mother, including those that were in different kin and social groups and were only distantly related to her. Such assisted births have thus far only been seen in primates. This observation confirms the suspected social complexity of whales and suggests that modern observational tools are likely to continue to reveal the secrets of other species that are difficult to study.

A New Jersey man is facing federal firearms charges after prosecutors say he plotted to assassinate a prominent Palestinian American activist. The U.S. attorney’s office in New Jersey charged Alexander Heifler, 26, on Friday with unlawful possession and making of firearms, according to a criminal complaint. The NYPD and FBI arrested Heifler in connection to a plot against Palestinian activist Nerdeen Kiswani after he allegedly shared his plans with an undercover NYPD officer monitoring a group messaging forum, according to a department spokesperson, who declined to name the platform. Heifler first proposed attacking Kiswani in a Feb. 10 video call with the undercover officer, according to the complaint. The NYPD investigator who had been monitoring the chat then suggested to Heifler that they speak privately. On March 4, an NYPD spokesperson said, Heifler and the undercover officer met in person, drove to Kiswani’s house and came up with an escape plan involving a fake license plate and steps to obscure their DNA evidence. The mayor said Heifler’s plan was to flee to Israel after the attack.

When Oudone Lothirath was in immigration detention in January, he missed four out of five chemotherapy sessions he had scheduled in his fight against aggressive lymphoma. While Lothirath expected to eventually die of the disease, he had hoped to live as long as possible with treatment. But a scan last month showed the cancer had spread into his bone marrow. “I was in shock, seeing those little dots,” he said of the scan. “When I was down in Texas, I didn’t get no medical attention, nothing.” His fight for release was easier than other immigrants. His friend and personal care assistant, Christina Vilay, presented a letter from M Health Fairview explaining he would “succumb” without ongoing chemotherapy. Without the need for a lawsuit, ICE agreed to fly Lothirath back to Minnesota after spending 10 days in custody. “Shockingly enough, they let him out, but I think it’s because they just knew if he stayed, he would have died in their custody,” Vilay said.

In​ 1606 a devastating pestilence swept through London; the dying were boarded up in their homes with their families, and a decree went out that the theatres, the bear-baiting yards and the brothels be closed. It was then that Shakespeare wrote one of his very few references to the plague, catching at our precarity: ‘The dead man’s knell/Is there scarce asked for who, and good men’s lives/Expire before the flowers in their caps/Dying or ere they sicken.’ As he wrote, a Greenland shark who is still alive today swam untroubled through the waters of the northern seas. Its parents would have been old enough to have lived alongside Dante; its great-great-grandparents alongside Julius Caesar. For thousands of years Greenland sharks have swum in silence, as above them the world has burned, rebuilt, burned again.

Democrats are sounding the alarm over a near-unimaginable revelation: the top two contenders for California governor are Republicans. Two of the latest political polls conducted across the Golden State revealed that Fox News commentator Steve Hilton and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco are the frontrunners in the crowded race to replace California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is barred from running for a third term, Bloomberg first reported. One survey found Hilton—who has touted his “personal relationship” with Donald Trump—leading the way at 17 percent, with Bianco close behind at 16 percent. Former congresswoman Katie Porter and Rep. Eric Swalwell trailed at 13 percent. A separate poll commissioned by the Democratic Party again found the GOP contenders as clear frontrunners, with Swalwell, Porter, and billionaire environmental activist Tom Steyer locked in a stalemate at 10 percent each. Per California state law, only the two candidates who receive the most votes in the state’s primaries on June 2—regardless of political party—will advance to the November ballot. There are eight Democrats currently in the race for California’s highest office, splintering the vote with no clear frontrunner and clearing a potential path for a Republican victory in an election just 70 days away.
