The family of a teen who committed suicide sues OpenAI, alleging that ChatGPT gave him info about suicide methods and at times deterred him from seeking help (Kashmir Hill/New York Times)

A Teen Was Suicidal. ChatGPT Was the Friend He Confided In.
More people are turning to general-purpose chatbots for emotional support. At first, Adam Raine, 16, used ChatGPT for schoolwork, but then he started discussing plans to end his life.

This is rather nice. #sound

Sunshine, bassline and, erm, batty whine. Yes, its Famz Tree's favourite weekend of the year, when all the best bits of our community cram together in London W10, filling our body and soul with chicken, rum and the loudest, sweetest, life affirming music that we all live for. The fact that, in doing so, we manage to wind up the assorted Mail journos, Tory councillors, online rage baiters and pricks like Farage only adds to the fun. Big up all those who made it down there. Here's to years more t…

Sonnet 106 - CVI
When in the chronicle of wasted time
I see descriptions of the fairest wights,
And beauty making beautiful old rhyme,
In praise of ladies dead and lovely knights,
Then, in the blazon of sweet beauty's best,
Of hand, of foot, of lip, of eye, of brow,
I see their antique pen would have express'd
Even such a beauty as you master now.
So all their praises are but prophecies
Of this our time, all you prefiguring;…

Precision Measurements of the Electroweak Mixing Angle in the Region of the Z pole
We review the current status and techniques used in precision measurements of the effective leptonic weak mixing angle $\sin^2θ^\ell_{\rm eff}$ (a fundamental parameter of the Standard Model (SM)) in the region of the Z pole with emphasis on hadron colliders. We also build on these techniques to extract the most precise single measurement to date of $\sin^2θ^\ell_{\rm eff}$ from a new analysis of the published forward-backward asymmetry ($A_{\rm FB}$) in Drell-Yan dielpton production in proto…

Scene-Aware Vectorized Memory Multi-Agent Framework with Cross-Modal Differentiated Quantization VLMs for Visually Impaired Assistance
This study proposes the dual technological innovation framework, including a cross-modal differ entiated quantization framework for vision-language models (VLMs) and a scene-aware vectorized memory multi-agent system for visually impaired assistance. The modular framework was developed implementing differentiated processing strategies, effectively reducing memory requirements from 38GB to 16GB while maintaining model performance. The multi-agent architecture combines scene classificatio…

Multiscale Growth Kinetics of Model Biomolecular Condensates Under Passive and Active Conditions
Living cells exhibit a complex organization comprising numerous compartments, among which are RNA- and protein-rich membraneless, liquid-like organelles known as biomolecular condensates. Energy-consuming processes regulate their formation and dissolution, with (de-)phosphorylation by specific enzymes being among the most commonly involved reactions. By employing a model system consisting of a phosphorylatable peptide and homopolymeric RNA, we elucidate how enzymatic activity modulates the grow…

Week 3 NFL anytime touchdown picks: Bijan Robinson, Rome Odunze among best bets for Sunday anytime TD picks

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/week-3-

Some of our internal builds have been building with Xcode 26 betas since WWDC, but yesterday evening I went ahead and switched over everything else that isn't on a release branch, so we now have 50 targets building with beta 4.
The most common build issue we've run into in our code is declaring the size of a C array using `const int`, which we now declare as an `enum` as a stronger compile-time guarantee of its constant value:
- const int OFXMLIDLength = 11;
enum {…
