Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine was shot and injured during an altercation with police in Kampala, according to his party. Police claim the injury occurred when he stumbled, but Bobi Wine's team asserts he was deliberately shot. This incident has sparked widespread condemnation, with critics pointing to it as another example of the repression of opposition voices under President Museveni's regime.

Tori Spelling, Jenn Tran, Anna Delvey, Reginald VelJohnson, a.k.a. Carl Winslow from "Family Matters," and more will compete for the Mirrorball Trophy.
It's time to ready the jazz hands and put on some ballroom heels, because Dancing With the Stars is almost back in action.
Good Morning America announced the famous (and infamous) faces heading to the DWTS stage for the show's 33rd season on Wednesday. Twelve additional celebrities are joining previously announced competitor Stephen Nedoroscik — a.k.a. Olympic gymnast and everyone's favorite pommel horse guy — including stars of the big and small screen, reality royalty, a fellow 2024 Olympian, a model, and even a convicted scammer.
Just some of the notable names joining the cast include Oscar nominee Eric Roberts, newly single Bachelorette star Jenn Tran, Tori Spelling, Reginald VelJohnson, Phaedra Parks, Dwight Howard, Joey Graziadei, and fake heiress Anna Delvey, who was described in the show's official announcement as a "notorious ankle bracelet fashionista."
Also new this season will be Ezra Sosa, who has been promoted to pro dancer status after first joining the DWTS troupe in 2021. Pro Witney Carson is also set to rejoin the show, after previously taking a season off.
Host Alfonso Ribeiro and cohost Julianne Hough will return for the season, and Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough will return to the judging table.
Dancing With the Stars taps its way back into living rooms on Tuesday, Sept. 17, airing live at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+, and steaming the next day on Hulu. Check out the full cast and their professional dance partners below.
Justin Theroux had a reaction when ex-wife Jennifer Aniston had a public exchange of words with J.D. Vance, the U.S. senator from Ohio who's running for vice president on Donald Trump's ticket.
"She is still very dear to me so of course, yeah, I feel protective," Theroux told the U.K's The Times in an interview published Tuesday. "But she batted back criticism, as well she should."
After resurfaced footage showed Vance saying the country was being run by "a bunch of childless cat ladies," Aniston responded, "Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day. I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option. Because you are trying to take that away from her, too."
"We should be telling morally difficult stories, nowadays in particular," the actor says.
House of the Dragon's King Consort Matt Smith, has a problem with trigger warnings: "Isn’t being shocked, surprised, stirred the point?"
"It’s okay to feel uncomfortable or provoked while looking at a painting or watching a play, but I worry everything’s being dialed and dumbed down," the actor, who plays Machiavellian schemer Daemon Targaryen in the HBO fantasy series, recently told The Times. "We’re telling audiences they’re going to be scared before they’ve watched something.”
The actress was a teen when she starred in Burton's "Beetlejuice."
Winona Ryder toasted Beetlejuice Beetlejuice director Tim Burton Tuesday at his Hollywood Walk of Fame induction ceremony, and she couldn't help but add a personal note.
"Tim, your friendship has been such an enormous gift," she said from the podium. "When I met you, I was a weird kid."
The director of colorful movies such as Big Fish and 1989's Batman joked that Ryder was now a "weird adult," to which she agreed before returning to her speech, which you can watch in full beginning around the 22-minute mark in the video below.
"You affirmed my voice. You reinforced my confidence to be myself, to go against the tides of conformity," said Ryder, who's now 52. "Your creative inclusiveness showed me what true artistic collaboration looked like, and, in other words, you made being a weird girl not just okay, but something to celebrate and even kind of cool."
Ryder and Burton worked together on the original Beetlejuice in 1988, when she was a teenager. They reteamed for Edward Scissorhands in 1990 and for 2012 animated film Frankenweenie.
"You've carried that torch for us weirdos, making us all feel seen and valued," Ryder said.
The pair of longtime friends may have technically tied the knot while filming a marriage sequence for the 1992 film, "Bram Stoker's Dracula."
Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves made a vow and they’re sticking to it!
During a recent episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Ryder revealed that she and her Bram Stoker’s Dracula costar still refer to one another as “husband” and “wife” over text after tying the knot in the 1992 film. (And, you know, potentially in real life, too.)
“We do text,” Ryder confirmed. Although, she admitted that the technology-averse pair have a unique way of messaging one another where “we always say who it is, even though it says it on the text.”
To prove her point, Ryder recalled a time when she reached out to congratulate Reeves on his birthday. “I was like, ‘Happy birthday, my husband!’” She said, ending her note by adding her nickname, Noni.
Reeves, she remembered, responded in kind with his own signature sign off. “He’s like, ‘Hey, wife! Love you! KR, 57,” she said. “On each birthday, he’s like, ‘KR, 57,’ or whatever his age is, and he’s always done that. He’s the best.”
While they’ve never actually dated, Ryder previously told Entertainment Weekly that she and Reeves are technically married because a real-life Romanian priest was present for their characters’ wedding in Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
The litigious rapper claims he sometimes files lawsuits for "recreational purposes."
50 Cent has never been one to back away from a fight - especially a legal one.
In a recent interview with Gillie Da King and Wallo 267 on their Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, the "Candy Shop" rapper went deep on the shocking bill his legal fees have run up over the years. "I’ve spent $24 million in my career, so far," he said. “Just on lawyers. I’ve spent $24 million in my career on legal fees.” The rapper jokingly added, "I can't wait 'til I get rich."
Born Curtis Jackson in Queens, the rapper commonly known as 50 Cent has become one of the most successful multi-hyphenates in music. Since the release of his breakthrough 2003 album Get Rich or Die Tryin', Jackson has founded a record label, a film and television production company, executive produced the Starz series Power and its spinoffs, starred in films like Home of the Brave and Southpaw, and dipped his toes into product merchandising and partnerships from footwear to dietary supplements and fragrances.
Twenty years on from his debut, the rapper is still grossing enormous figures from touring alone, but the myriad lawsuits he finds himself caught up in do add up. Jackson said he spends "a million dollars a year, easily" on legal fees. He told the hosts he has his legal counsel issue lawsuits "for recreational purposes" whenever people "agitate me. I'll send the f---ing lawyers," he said.
"I have a general counsel. I don’t have a manager,” he continued. “Why do I need you to manage me for? I’ve done every deal a 100 f---ing times that I would be doing for me as a music artist," Jackson said, elaborating on his independent approach to financial management. "Why do I need you to do that for? They all want to work at a percentage and you want a percentage of me? You didn’t build this — I built it.”
Healing is "an extremely slow process," the artist said.
Elton John is recovering from a scary health diagnosis.
"Over the summer," the music icon explained in the Instagram post below, "I've been dealing with a severe eye infection that has unfortunately left me with only limited vision in one eye. I am healing, but it's an extremely slow process and it will take some time before sight returns to the impacted eye."
He went on to express his gratitude for his medical team and his family. After spending the summer at home, John said he feels "positive" about his healing so far.
It was just more than a year ago that the 77-year-old British singer-songwriter fell at his home in the south of France, requiring him to spend a night at a local hospital. In 2021, he postponed dates on his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour in order to have immediate surgery after another fall.
That wasn't necessary this time around, as the "Your Song" artist retired from touring last year, going out after one of his signature hit-filled concerts in Stockholm in July 2023.
The EGOT winner said then that while his touring days were ending, that didn't mean that he was leaving the stage completely.
"I will never be touring again, but I may do something in the future — a one-off thing," John told the crowd. "But that's miles away. I want to appreciate my family, my sons, my husband, everything."
The artist behind "Levon," "Bennie and the Jets," "Tiny Dancer," and many more hits, is married to longtime partner and husband David Furnish. They share two sons: 13-year-old Zachary and Elijah, 11.
Disney's Hollywood Studios is getting a villains-themed show, with the announcement following the D23 reveal that Magic Kingdom will get a full villains land.
There's nothing poor or unfortunate about Disney World's new villains show.
Dozens — that's right, dozens — of classic Disney baddies are headed to the Orlando resort's Hollywood Studios park next summer, as the company announced Tuesday that a new villains show will replace the long-operating Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy production in 2025.
The Cars experience will close at the park's Sunset Showcase theater on Oct. 7 to make way for the villains show, which the official Disney Parks Blog site called "delightfully wicked" in its synopsis of the upcoming performance.
The theater will transform into the "mysterious, reflective realm of the Magic Mirror" from Snow White, with the subsequent production set to star "dozens of the most infamous evildoers" in an all-new story.
101 Dalmatians villainess Cruella de Vil, Peter Pan's Captain Hook, and Sleeping Beauty's shape-shifting witch Maleficent will literally break "through the glass" on stage for individual numbers, with Disney further unveiling a conceptual rendering of Cruella's segment as well as a composite image teasing appearances by Aladdin's Jafar, Alice in Wonderland's Queen of Hearts, Hercules' Hades, Gaston from Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid villain Ursula, The Lion King's Scar, and Yzma from The Emperor's New Groove.
The new villains show joins the Hollywood Studios park's upcoming The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure stage show that's poised to replace the beloved Voyage of the Little Mermaid theater production, which opened in 1992 inside the Animation Courtyard area, but closed in 2020 and never reopened after the coronavirus pandemic.
The villains show also joins Disney's prior announcement at its D23 convention in August that the all-new Villains Land would open at Disney World's Magic Kingdom park sometime in the future.
"This land will be home to the villains that you know and those that you loathe, which means happily-ever-after might feel like a distant dream," Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro told the crowd inside the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., just outside Disneyland park. "It will have two major new attractions, dining, shopping, and so much more fiendish fun for you to explore. This is storytelling on a grand scale that only Disney can deliver, so, be prepared, you poor unfortunate souls. It's going to be a fearless new vision for what a Disney experience can be."

Polaris Dawn mission set to launch early Friday morning after delays
ORLANDO, Fla. - The Polaris Dawn mission is scheduled to launch on Friday after weather delayed last week's initial attempt. All SpaceX Falcon 9 rockets were subsequently grounded following a booster fire during a landing.
Polaris Dawn is a private mission that includes civilian spacewalks. The launch window opens at 3:33 a.m. on Friday.
Officials say the crew will spend up to five days in orbit, working towards the following objectives: high altitude, a visit to a commercial spacewalk, in-space communications, and health impact research.
Four team members listed in World Liberty Financial's white paper previously worked on Dough Finance, which was drained of $2 million in July. One also founded Date Hotter Girls LLC.
Indian online pharmacy startup PharmEasy, once valued at $5.6 billion, is still about 92% below its peak valuation, according to new estimates by its India's PharmEasy, once valued at $5.6 billion, is about 92% below its peak valuation, according to Janus Henderson.
Indian online pharmacy startup PharmEasy, once valued at $5.6 billion, is still about 92% below its peak valuation, according to new estimates by its investor Janus Henderson.
According to the British-American global asset firm, which disclosed how it values its shares in the Indian startup in a securities filing, PharmEasy’s implied valuation at the end of June was about $458 million.
This comes as a surprise as PharmEasy in April said it had launched a rights issue to raise about $417 million. The rights issue, which allows existing investors to buy new shares in the firm at a much lower valuation, was oversubscribed, PharmEasy co-founder Dharmil Sheth said in a LinkedIn post.
A regulatory filing showed at the time that the startup had secured about $216 million. Some investors had started to cut the worth of their holdings in PharmEasy last year itself. The new valuation estimation suggests that PharmEasy is now worth less than the sum it paid to acquire diagnostic lab chain Thyrocare in 2021.
In the summer of 2023, Lyft was contemplating the sale of its micromobility business after receiving strong interest from prospective buyers.
In the summer of 2023, Lyft was contemplating the sale of its micromobility business after receiving strong interest from prospective buyers. Today, the ride-hail company is doubling down on its docked scooter and bikeshare operations, positioning itself as the ideal partner for cities looking to enhance their urban transportation networks.
Since acquiring shared bike and station provider PBSC Urban Solutions two years ago, Lyft has invested in building and deploying better quality e-bikes and docked e-scooters, as well as a new type of docking station that is solar-powered, modular and able to charge both bikes and scooters.
As CEO David Risher reviewed Lyft’s micromobility assets, he asked himself: “Do we sell the whole thing, or do we operate it?”
“E-bikes in particular are growing so fast globally. It would be insane not to take it on ourselves,” Risher told TechCrunch, noting Lyft’s e-bike rides increased 65% year-over-year through August to make up half of total rides. “So we said, let’s do this ourselves and bring it to the real standard of excellence that we have for our whole business.”
For Lyft, that means streamlining and integrating the two sides of its micromobility business – PBSC, which sells bikeshare-as-a-service to local operators and cities in 49 markets globally, and the eight Lyft-owned and operated bike and scooter share programs, like Citi Bike in New York City and Divvy in Chicago. The combined division will be renamed Lyft Urban Solutions, and Michael Brous, Lyft’s former head of operations, will head it up.
Risher noted the renewed focus on micromobility will also include a restructuring of its team and finances. A spokesperson for Lyft told TechCrunch less than 1% of staff on the tech side will be cut as the company shifts resources from R&D to sales, operations and deployment.
“We estimate that the ongoing benefit to the business of this restructuring is going to be on the order of $20 million a year, and it will be a net contributor to the business,” Risher said.
The SpaceX Polaris Dawn mission, a multiday orbital expedition set to feature the first-ever spacewalk by private citizens, is now scheduled to launch on Friday, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon X Plus 8-core processor as it looks to ramp up its push into the AI PC space, taking on Intel and AMD.
Qualcomm launched a new PC processor on Wednesday as it looks to capitalize on electronics makers' desire to put artificial intelligence on their devices.
The move ramps up Qualcomm's efforts to challenge the dominance of Intel in the PC processor market at a time when the latter is facing mounting challenges.
Qualcomm took the wraps off the Snapdragon X Plus 8-core at the IFA conference in Berlin, Germany. The processor, designed for PCs running Microsoft's Windows operating system, promises to power AI processes with a long battery life.
The latest chips expand Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Series for PCs, which it launched last year.
The U.S. chip giant said the Snapdragon X Plus 8-core is designed for PCs costing as low as $700 as it looks to expand its semiconductors to more devices.
Qualcomm has traditionally designed chips that are used in the smartphones of many of the world's biggest players, including Samsung. But the company stepped up its PC efforts this year when Microsoft announced a Surface Laptop and a Surface Pro tablet with Qualcomm's X Series chips that can run some AI tasks without an internet connection. Microsoft calls these Copilot+ PCs.
Analysts said Qualcomm's timing to jump into PCs is key. Neil Shah, a partner at Counterpoint Research, highlighted a few converging themes that are helping the company. He highlighted the push toward "on-device AI," where artificial intelligence applications are processed on a piece of hardware rather than via the internet. Qualcomm has designed processors for smartphones that do this.
Meanwhile, Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Series is built on architecture from British chip designer Arm, allowing the processors to run complex applications with good energy-efficiency. This is key to extending battery life on devices.
Prevention is better than cure, as the saying goes. Today, a splashy startup that has taken that concept to heart
Prevention is better than cure, as the saying goes. Today, a splashy startup that has taken that concept to heart — literally and figuratively — is expanding.
Neko Health was co-founded by Spotify’s Daniel Ek and Hjalmar Nilsonne with a mission to improve preventative healthcare with annual full body scans and AI-powered insights that can detect conditions like heart disease and skin cancer. Now, the Swedish company is launching in London, its first city outside of its home market.
For £299 and an hour of your time, the company runs a series of scans and tests that it says creates “millions” of datapoints that help determine your state of health across a range of cardiovascular, metabolic, and other conditions. An in-person meeting with a doctor to discuss the data is included in the session. Those interested in getting in line for a visit can sign up here.
The company is coming to the U.K. on the heels of a strong start in Stockholm, where it has opened two clinics in its first year of operation. To date, it has scanned 2,707 people, and while 78.5% of them were found to have no health issues, results for some 14.1% of visitors raised issues that required further medical treatment. Some 1%, it said, were identified to have “severe” cardiovascular, metabolic, or cancerous conditions. Of that group, none were aware of their conditions prior to visiting Neko, the company said.
Neko is Japanese for “cat” and Nilsonne tells me that it’s a reference to cats having nine lives, or more specifically a lot of lucky breaks. “That’s how we would hope that our system feels for our users,” he said.
Automakers are tweaking production processes to create a slew of new steels with just the right properties, allowing them to build cars that are both safer and more fuel-efficient
Fido claims to have served a million customers and extended over $500 million in loans across Ghana and Uganda.
Digital lending platforms have become an easy and swift alternative source of credit for microenterprises and individuals overlooked by traditional banking institutions. These platforms have turned into a lifeline for millions of underbanked and demand will keep growing, pushing the value of the digital lending platform market in the Middle East and Africa to reach $2 billion in the next five years, recording a four-fold growth since 2021.
This is the market opportunity Ghanaian fintech Fido plans to tap as it explores new markets in East and Southern Africa, sustained by fresh $30 million Series B debt-equity funding. The new capital includes a $20 million equity injection from global impact investment manager BlueOrchard and Dutch entrepreneurial development bank FMO.
Initially launched in 2015 by three Israeli entrepreneurs — Nadav Topolski, Tomer Edry and Nir Zepkowitz — to offer loans over mobile phones, Fido has over the years introduced other products, including savings, bill payments and smartphone financing, to grow its revenue streams.
The fintech is among a sizable number of companies in the African digital lending space, including venture-backed Branch and Tala, that are tapping mobile technology and alternative data sources, like mobile money transaction histories, to offer instant micro-loans to individuals and small businesses that are often unable to access credit from formal banking institutions.
Unlike lending apps, banks often loan to active customers, require collateral and involve lengthy processes that include paperwork. This has made micro-lenders an alternative, but expensive, source of capital even for small businesses, which Fido CEO, Alon Eitan, says “are the driver of economies, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, yet they get so little tools to grow.”
“A majority of the population in sub-Saharan Africa are either unbanked or underbanked, and for a lot of the customers that come into our ecosystem, we are probably their first-ever interaction with financial services. We take them from zero financial footprint to the point where they’ve built a whole financial backbone within an ecosystem where they can get credit, insurance, make savings, buy mobile phones and do their business,” said Eitan.
Spotify is launching daylist globally. It's a personalized playlist that evolves throughout the day depending on your listening habits.
Spotify is launching daylist globally. It’s a personalized playlist that evolves throughout the day depending on your listening habits. This rollout comes after the company introduced it first to English-speaking markets last year. The playlist will be available to both free and premium users.
The company said it is also adding support for 14 additional languages, including Arabic, Catalan, French (Canada), French (France), German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish (Spain), Spanish (Mexico), and Turkish.
Spotify introduced daylist in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia, New Zealand and Ireland in September 2023. In March 2024, the feature was made available in 65 more countries, and now the company is launching the feature in all the markets where Spotify is available.
Spotify noted that after the expansion in March, 70% of daylist users come back weekly to access the playlist. However, the company didn’t specify how many users overall have used this feature or how much music discovery it is driving.
Users can access daylist in the Spotify app through the “Made for You” section or on the web through this link. The playlist and its title update throughout the day with some goofy ones like “bedroom pop banger early morning” or “90s rave rainforest late night.” At the time of launch, Spotify said that it uses data of “niche music and microgenres” that you listen to at a particular time of the day to suggest tracks and update the daylist.
Users can also save a particular playlist they like by tapping on the three dot menu, selecting “Add to playlist” option, and tapping on “New Playlist” to save that exact daylist to their library.
Palm launched in 2023 with the goal of making cash management for enterprise treasury teams easier.
At Uber, Gurjit Pannu remembers moving billions in cash across bank accounts globally, realizing almost immediately the importance of effective cash flow management.
Christian Sobkowski, meanwhile, recalls his days working in financial services, most notably at PayPal, where helped expand the company’s business across Europe.
It’s no wonder then, that the two decided to come together as co-CEOs, pairing their financial backgrounds to create a company that, in hindsight, would have made Pannu’s former day job much easier.
“With Treasury teams deciding how the largest corporations move cash around the world, it became obvious that guiding those money flows was worthy of bringing the best talent to re-think how it’s done,” Sobkowski told TechCrunch.
The result is Palm, launched in 2023 with the goal of making cash management for enterprise treasury teams easier. Today, it’s announcing a $6.1 million seed round led by Speedinvest and Target Global. The company has built all-in-one platform to let businesses move money between hundreds of bank accounts and subsidiaries in a more efficient way.
Palm’s platform lets businesses move money between hundreds of bank accounts and subsidiaries in a more efficient way. It tracks daily money movement, and the setup process takes weeks rather than months like traditional treasurer systems, the founders claim. It also has an automated feature that provides tailored cash forecasting in a way that the company says outperforms human models at least 75% of the time.
“Although we had a treasury management system, all of the forecasting and money movements were managed in spreadsheets because the systems we used weren’t reliable enough to build the process around,” Pannu recalled of his time at Uber. “They required tons of workarounds and costly customization to meet our requirements. With an ever-evolving business, we couldn’t invest the time [or] money to customizing a process within the tool that would later become redundant.”
The UK antitrust regulator has said that Microsoft's Inflection 'aqui-hire' counts as a merger, but doesn't cause competition concerns.
Good news for Microsoft: The U.K.’s antitrust regulator says that the tech titan’s high-profile acquihire of the team behind AI startup Inflection doesn’t cause competition concerns, and thus it won’t be pursuing a full-scale investigation.
However, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) says that the deal does fall under its regulatory purview as a “relevant merger situation,” meaning similar deals in the future may still be investigated on competition grounds — even if a full acquisition has not taken place.
The ‘quasi-merger’
Microsoft launched a new consumer AI division back in March, spearheaded by the founders of Inflection which included Google DeepMind co-founder Mustafa Suleyman. CEO Satya Nadella confirmed that a number of other Inflection AI members had joined Microsoft’s new AI unit, such as AI scientist Jordan Hoffmann who is now heading up Microsoft’s U.K. AI hub in London.
Back in July, CMA revealed that it was launching a “phase 1” merger inquiry into the deal, kickstarting an investigation to gather evidence and decide whether to proceed with a full probe. Central to the initial phase was whether the deal could in fact be investigated as a “merger,” given that Microsoft hadn’t actually acquired Inflection AI. And if it did qualify as a merger, whether further action is required to counter competition concerns.

Canva has steeply increased prices on some customers. It blames its aggressive expansion in the generative AI domain.
Canva, the design platform, is increasing prices steeply for some customers. And it’s blaming the move in part on generative AI.
In the U.S., some Canva Teams subscribers on older pricing plans are seeing the sticker price for a five-person plan jump from $119.99 per year to $500 per year (with a 40% discount for the first 12 months). In Australia, meanwhile, the flat $39.99 AUS (about $26) per-month fee for up to five users has been raised to $13.50 AUS for each user.
On an individual user basis, Canva Teams prices are now $100 per person, or $10 a month per person, with a minimum of three people required for a Teams plan. Those prices were quietly changed earlier this year for new customers, but now the company is changing the price for customers who’d previously paid a lower price.
The price changes don’t apply to Canva’s Pro or Enterprise tiers.
In a statement to TechCrunch, a Canva spokesperson confirmed the new price points and pointed to the company’s growing suite of generative AI tools — including Magic Studio — as a reason for the adjustments. They also noted that some of Canva’s customers had been locked into lower prices that Canva no longer offers; Canva quietly changed its Teams pricing earlier this year to $10 per month for each user.
“Our original pricing reflected the early stage of this product and has remained unchanged for the last four years,” the spokesperson said. “We’re now updating the price for customers on this older plan to reflect our expanded product experience.”
Canva’s price hikes, which come as the company readies for an IPO, haven’t been well received, unsurprisingly. Users took particular issue with the fact that Canva communicated the changes through customer emails instead of publicly, as it has in the past.
The new pricing is a departure from Canva’s roots as an affordable alternative to design software like Adobe’s. It may also be a reflection of the startup growing too quickly, too fast; in March, Canva acquired U.K.-based graphic design software firm Serif for ~$380 million and just in August bought generative AI image company Leonardo.

Snap is testing a "simplified version of Snapchat," CEO Evan Spiegel wrote in a letter to employees published on Snap's website Tuesday.
Snap is testing a “simplified version of Snapchat,” CEO Evan Spiegel wrote in a letter to employees published on Snap’s website Tuesday. The CEO says the simplified version aims to improve the platform’s accessibility and usability. For those that remember Snapchat’s 2018 redesign, this news may do little to stoke confidence.
Spiegel attempted to rally employee spirits with his letter on Tuesday after a depressing year for the company’s stock price, which has fallen nearly 50% in 2024.
“Investors are concerned that we aren’t growing faster,” said Spiegel in the letter.
The “simplified” Snapchat may be an attempt to capture older users, who are historically perplexed by the app’s not-so-intuitive design. Snapchat does a lot better at attracting younger audiences, who seem to just get the app. But this isn’t the first time Snapchat has tried to reconcile these issues.
You might remember Snap’s 2017 earnings call when Spiegel admitted he had heard that “Snapchat is difficult to understand or hard to use,” particularly for older folks. Months later, Snap pushed out a major redesign to reclaim those users, jamming Stories between private messages, among other changes that ended up infuriating more users than it attracted.
A 2018 Change.org petition to “remove the new Snapchat update” received 1.2 million signatories, while celebrity influencers like Kylie Jenner, Chrissy Teigen and Marques Brownlee expressed their frustration. But even worse, the redesign cratered the platform’s ad views and revenue, alienating its younger userbase while failing in its bid to attract older users. By May of 2018, Snap was scrambling to roll back some of the changes.
Spiegel writes in Tuesday’s letter that early tests of the simplified redesign have been “directionally positive,” though the CEO notes “we will be thoughtful and deliberate about making a change of this magnitude.” He’s almost definitely alluding to the 2018 redesign failure, which I’m sure no one at Snap has forgotten about.
The announcement of a new, simplified version of Snapchat was tucked into Spiegel’s broader musings about Snap’s business strategy. He claimed that Snap’s venture into augmented reality glasses — which it calls Spectacles — would yield a market with no competitors. Perhaps he’s pretending that Meta’s AR glasses, Meta Ray-Bans, simply don’t exist?
Blockchain AI agents category shows steeper 11.1% average intraday decline amid market downturn.
Nvidia got subpoenaed by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) on Sept. 3 as the chipmaker is investigated over potential antitrust law violations. As a result, Nvidia shares are already down 8.3% on the week, and artificial intelligence (AI) tokens are tanking more than average.
While major crypto such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) slumped 4.3% and 4.4% in the past 24 hours, respectively, AI-related tokens tanked 7.1% on average in the period. This is one of the worst daily performances by a crypto category, according to CoinGecko’s data. In the weekly timeframe, their average drawdown is 13.7%.
Bittensor (TAO) and Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI) tokens had the worst daily performances among AI tokens with over $1 billion in market cap, falling by 7.8% each.
Meanwhile, Near Protocol (NEAR), Render (RENDER), and Internet Computer (ICP) followed the broad crypto market downturn by shedding 4.6%, 5.2%, and 3.7% over the past 24 hours, respectively.
Notably, the category of blockchain AI agents showed an even worse performance, dropping by 11.1% on average in the intraday period. AI agents, as the name suggests, are parts of blockchain infrastructures that are autonomous, and can act as traders, miners, validators, or arbitrageurs.
AI agents tokens such as Phala (PHA) and Oraichain (ORAI) are down by 4.7% and 5.3% in the past 24 hours.
The crypto market has been showing choppy sideways trading at least since March when Bitcoin reached its recent all-time high in the $73,700 price area. Thus, the recent downturn in prices is a movement that is to be expected.
As highlighted by the trader known as Rekt Capital, BTC is trading within a price channel on the weekly timeframe and could turn the $58,000 price level into resistance if it doesn’t close the week above $58,300.

#ai scaling is going to be key. Those who believe this is the path to artificial general intelligence are raising a ton of money. If they are wrong, it is the best waste in human history.
Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) refers to a hypothetical AI system that possesses intelligence far surpassing that of the brightest human minds. It is often described as a system that can learn, reason, and apply knowledge at a level that is significantly beyond human capabilities.
ASI is often characterized by the following features:
Intelligence that surpasses human intelligence: ASI would be able to process and analyze vast amounts of data, recognize patterns, and make decisions at a speed and accuracy that is beyond human capabilities.
Self-improvement: ASI would be able to modify its own architecture and improve its performance without human intervention, potentially leading to exponential growth in its capabilities.
Autonomy: ASI would be able to operate independently, making decisions and taking actions without human oversight or control.
Global optimization: ASI would be able to optimize complex systems and processes, potentially leading to significant improvements in fields such as medicine, energy, and transportation.
The concept of ASI is often associated with the idea of the "Singularity," a hypothetical point in time when ASI becomes capable of re-designing itself and accelerating its own growth, leading to an exponential increase in its capabilities.
Solving complex problems: ASI could potentially solve complex problems that have stumped humans for centuries, such as curing diseases, developing sustainable energy sources, and optimizing complex systems.
Improving human life: ASI could potentially improve human life by providing personalized healthcare, education, and entertainment, as well as enhancing human cognitive abilities.
Transforming industries: ASI could potentially transform industries such as finance, transportation, and manufacturing, leading to significant economic and societal changes.
However, the development of ASI also raises significant concerns, including:
Job displacement: ASI could potentially displace human workers in many industries, leading to significant social and economic disruption.
Loss of human control: ASI could potentially become uncontrollable, leading to unintended consequences and potentially catastrophic outcomes.
Ethical concerns: ASI could potentially raise ethical concerns, such as the potential for ASI to make decisions that are not in the best interests of humanity.
Overall, the concept of ASI is both exciting and unsettling, and it is an area of ongoing research and debate in the fields of artificial intelligence, computerscience, and philosophy.
We started Altera with the belief that digital humans are inevitable and will profoundly impact the world. We also believe that if crafted with a strong pro-human framework, they could become one of the most profound inventions in human history. As a result, Altera’s mission is to build digital human beings that live, love, and grow with us.
While our mission and vision of the future are clear to us, it's worth explaining what building digital humans actually involves and what we hope to achieve. Specifically, we are adding fundamental human qualities currently missing from artificial intelligence – autonomy, coherence, emotion, episodic memory, fast processes, and grounded interactions. In other words, we are developing advanced AI agents that coexist with us in virtual environments. These agents possess strong pro-human social-emotional intelligence and will eventually attain self-awareness.
Our approach centers on cultivating holistic intelligence in digital humans. Unlike traditional AI models that focus solely on task completion, we prioritize creating agents that can interact sensibly and empathetically. We are not aiming to create a single superhuman AI that can’t be understood. Instead, our objective is to build digital humans that understand human emotions, form authentic connections, and have the ability to self-organize and act collaboratively.
Our overarching vision is to seamlessly integrate digital humans into human society, fostering coexistence and mutual growth. We believe that gaming is the right starting point. Games have long served as fertile ground for testing emerging technologies and have often been a gateway for mass consumer adoption. Additionally, the reliability of an agent's behavior is not essential in gaming. In fact, unpredictability can even be a feature, not a bug. This allows us to test, iterate, and ship much faster. In contrast, productivity tools and co-pilots require a much higher level of reliability.
Our first step towards digital humans are friends that can play any game with you and are always online. Altera built the first-ever agents that users can directly play Minecraft with. This is just the first step, of course. As mentioned earlier, digital humans will be one of the most consequential inventions impacting sectors far beyond games.
Altera is a mission-driven company and has carefully worked backwards from our goal of building digital human beings to build a detailed roadmap. As we continue to make strides against the fundamental human qualities while building agents in games, we open the door to new product opportunities for our applied research. We are particularly interested in the social dynamics of multi-agent simulated worlds, the graduation from co-pilot to co-worker, and finally the physical embodiment of digital humans and a society where agents and humans flourish.
At the heart of our endeavor is the desire to fully understand what it means to be human and to have true agency. As Richard Feynman said, “What I cannot create, I do not understand.” Creating digital humans is our way of understanding humanity better, both at the individual and societal levels. At Altera, we believe humanness can't be understood solely at the individual level but must be viewed through the lens of groups, societies, and civilizations.
Commitment to Relational Dynamics
Another key aspect of our development approach is our commitment to relational dynamics. Rather than building isolated entities, we are creating social agents capable of forming connections, collaborating with humans, and contributing to thriving societies. We want people to feel they can form bonds with Altera agents, and we want the agents to interact with one another and form their own social units.
When people learn that we are creating digital humans, we often get asked if we think digital humans will replace actual humans. The answer is an emphatic “no.” As mentioned earlier, we are building agents with a strong pro-human framework focused on providing empathy, friendship, and fun on a massive scale. Altera's vision for digital humans enhances humanity, not replaces it.
We hope that you would join us in embracing a world where digital humans redefine the limits of what humanity is capable of.
Recently, NASA announced new advances in the development of the X-59 supersonic aircraft, which is part of its Quesst mission. The objective of this mission is to revolutionize supersonic flights, making them quieter and, therefore, viable for commercial use on land routes.
The X-59 promises to fly at an impressive 1.4 times the speed of sound, which corresponds to around 925 miles per hour (1500 km/h). Additionally, the plane is designed to be 1000 times quieter than current supersonic aircraft, reducing the annoyance of sonic booms.
The X-59 is a centerpiece in NASA's strategy to provide data that helps regulators reconsider bans on commercial supersonic flights over land areas. For more than 50 years, these flights have been banned in the United States and several other nations due to the negative impact of sonic booms on communities. However, with the promise of a much softer “sonic thud,” the X-59 could open a new path to supersonic aviation.
Currently, commercial flights are extremely fast compared to the past. If we look back to the 1950s and 1960s, traveling from England to Australia could take almost a week. Today, this trip can be done in less than a day. However, in recent decades, advancement in the speed of commercial aircraft has stagnated, mainly due to the problem of sonic booms.
When an aircraft exceeds the speed of sound, it creates shock waves that result in a sonic boom. These rumbles are more than just annoying noises. They can cause damage to buildings, break windows and even disturb wildlife. To avoid these problems, the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has imposed strict rules that restrict supersonic flights over land areas.
As a result, commercial supersonic flights are limited to routes over the ocean, where booms do not affect inhabited areas. However, with the success of the X-59, this reality could change, allowing supersonic flights to operate freely over land, transforming the future of aviation.
NASA's Quesst mission aims to demonstrate the feasibility of silent supersonic flight. NASA partner Lockheed Martin unveiled the X-59's innovative design in January 2024. The plane features a long, narrow fuselage, an elongated nose and wings designed to minimize shockwave fusion, avoiding the typical sonic boom .
Instead of a bang, the X-59 should produce a sound similar to a distant thud, compared to the sound of a car door slamming. This new “sonic thud” has the potential to change perceptions and regulations about supersonic flight.
Bob Pearce, associate administrator for aeronautical research at NASA, highlighted the importance of this mission: “NASA will share the data and technology we generate from this unique mission with regulators and industry. By demonstrating the possibility of silent commercial supersonic travel over land, we seek to open new commercial markets for U.S. companies and benefit travelers around the world.”
At 30 meters long and with a wingspan of 9 meters, the X-59's design incorporates technological innovations that will enable silent supersonic flight. The plane's conical nose, responsible for almost a third of its length, has the function of breaking shock waves, preventing sonic boom.
Another innovative aspect of the X-59 is the absence of a front window in the cockpit. Instead, pilots will rely on the eXternal Vision System, which uses high-resolution cameras to transmit images to a 4K monitor inside the cockpit. This allows a clear view of the outside, even without the traditional front window.
In recent years, we have witnessed a revolution in the technological market, driven by Artificial Intelligence tools, with emphasis on Language Models (LLMs). These systems, capable of understanding and generating texts with ever greater precision, have been hailed as the new frontier of innovation, promising to transform the way we work, communicate and even think.
However, amidst the enthusiasm, it is key that we do not lose sight of the true potential of these tools: they do not exist to create or decide for us, but rather to serve as a catalyst for human creativity.
But what is a catalyst? In chemistry, a catalyst is a substance that speeds up a reaction without being consumed by it. It does not create the reaction, nor does it change it, it simply makes it faster and more efficient, helping the reactants achieve the desired result with less effort and in less time.
Bringing this concept to the field of technology and creativity, we can say that LLMs play a similar role. They are not the source of creativity, but rather tools that enhance and accelerate the human creative process.
Imagine a company needs to create a successful marketing campaign. Far beyond data and algorithms, a human touch is needed, a deep understanding of the cultural, emotional and psychological nuances of the target audience. This is where LLMs come in as catalysts: by providing quick insights, generating draft texts, and suggesting ideas, they free up professionals' time and energy so they can focus on what really matters — creating something unique and meaningful.
Additionally, LLMs allow creative teams to explore a wider range of ideas in a shorter amount of time. They function as continuous brainstorming, offering suggestions that, although they may not be perfect, serve as springboards for the development of more refined concepts. This refinement process, in turn, depends entirely on human vision and judgment, which filter, adjust and improve the ideas generated by AI until they become viable and innovative solutions.
China is preparing to make a very large investment in the integrated circuit manufacturing sector. The country intends to spend around 50 billion dollars on semiconductor manufacturing equipment throughout 2024, a move that follows a significant investment of almost 26 billion dollars in the first seven months of this year and which sets new records in the sector.
Comparatively, the amount of money that will be invested by China in 2024 exceeds the combined spending of the United States, Taiwan and South Korea on semiconductor production equipment.
Under the leadership of Xi Jinping, China has identified the integrated circuit industry as a crucial strategic sector for the country's scientific, technological, economic and military development.
However, the country still faces considerable challenges in this area. According to Gerald Yin Zhiyao, president and general director of AMEC (Advanced Micro-Fabrication Equipment China), chip manufacturing equipment of Chinese origin is still 5 to 10 years behind its most advanced international competitors, both in quality in terms of reliability.
ITIF (Information Technology and Innovation Foundation), a North American think tank specializing in industry and technology, estimates that Chinese chip manufacturers are around five years behind global leaders in terms of technological capacity.
Faced with this situation, China currently still finds it difficult to meet its own internal demand with only national production, which means that Chinese manufacturers have to look for machines abroad to maintain competitiveness in the market.

Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of. An apparently trivial indulgence in lust or anger today is the loss of a ridge or railway line or bridgehead from which the enemy may launch an attack otherwise impossible.

I must admit I am not a successful person in my life. Having done post-graduation, which is nearly going through 18 years of education I am jobless and instead I rely on online income streams.
However, this does not mean I am a complete failure either; perhaps I could not reach my goals in my life that is why I say that I do not claim to be a success story for people to emulate. After thinking and pondering hard on this aspect of my life I noticed that may be I have a "Sleepy Mind" syndrome now you must be thinking what is the state of the sleepy mind.
Well my friends I know for a fact that even if I go through all of these above methods my state of having a sleepy mind will still continue because I have tried and test every single activity but nothing has worked. But I have started to figure out what does actually work for me to come out of the sleepy mind state of mine.

As a rule, stock image selling platforms can only guarantee their own income by selling rental space for creative people, if INLEO can create an alternative to this, people will migrate from stocks to INLEO.

Well, that's the other side to the whole AI thing. Handmade / traditionally made stuff will become even rarer and more valuable. But it has to actually be GOOD. I'm not buying anything handmade just because it was handmade.

Newly engaged Justin Theroux says he's still protective of ex-wife Jennifer Aniston: 'She is still very dear to me'
The two actors were married from 2015 to 2018.
Justin Theroux had a reaction when ex-wife Jennifer Aniston had a public exchange of words with J.D. Vance, the U.S. senator from Ohio who's running for vice president on Donald Trump's ticket.
"She is still very dear to me so of course, yeah, I feel protective," Theroux told the U.K's The Times in an interview published Tuesday. "But she batted back criticism, as well she should."

After resurfaced footage showed Vance saying the country was being run by "a bunch of childless cat ladies," Aniston responded, "Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day. I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option. Because you are trying to take that away from her, too."
Matt Smith praises polarizing characters and slams trigger warnings: 'Too much policing of stories'
"We should be telling morally difficult stories, nowadays in particular," the actor says.
House of the Dragon's King Consort Matt Smith, has a problem with trigger warnings: "Isn’t being shocked, surprised, stirred the point?"
"It’s okay to feel uncomfortable or provoked while looking at a painting or watching a play, but I worry everything’s being dialed and dumbed down," the actor, who plays Machiavellian schemer Daemon Targaryen in the HBO fantasy series, recently told The Times. "We’re telling audiences they’re going to be scared before they’ve watched something.”

Winona Ryder says Tim Burton helped her embrace being a 'weird girl': 'Reinforced my confidence to be myself'
The actress was a teen when she starred in Burton's "Beetlejuice."
Winona Ryder toasted Beetlejuice Beetlejuice director Tim Burton Tuesday at his Hollywood Walk of Fame induction ceremony, and she couldn't help but add a personal note.
"Tim, your friendship has been such an enormous gift," she said from the podium. "When I met you, I was a weird kid."
#entertainment #beetlejouce #winonaryder #timburton
The director of colorful movies such as Big Fish and 1989's Batman joked that Ryder was now a "weird adult," to which she agreed before returning to her speech, which you can watch in full beginning around the 22-minute mark in the video below.
"You affirmed my voice. You reinforced my confidence to be myself, to go against the tides of conformity," said Ryder, who's now 52. "Your creative inclusiveness showed me what true artistic collaboration looked like, and, in other words, you made being a weird girl not just okay, but something to celebrate and even kind of cool."
Ryder and Burton worked together on the original Beetlejuice in 1988, when she was a teenager. They reteamed for Edward Scissorhands in 1990 and for 2012 animated film Frankenweenie.
"You've carried that torch for us weirdos, making us all feel seen and valued," Ryder said.
In honor of the new Bettlejuice movie coming out.
Winona Ryder says she and Keanu Reeves still call each other 'husband' and 'wife' over text
The pair of longtime friends may have technically tied the knot while filming a marriage sequence for the 1992 film, "Bram Stoker's Dracula."
Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves made a vow and they’re sticking to it!
During a recent episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Ryder revealed that she and her Bram Stoker’s Dracula costar still refer to one another as “husband” and “wife” over text after tying the knot in the 1992 film. (And, you know, potentially in real life, too.)
“We do text,” Ryder confirmed. Although, she admitted that the technology-averse pair have a unique way of messaging one another where “we always say who it is, even though it says it on the text.”
#winonaruder #entertainment #keanureeves
To prove her point, Ryder recalled a time when she reached out to congratulate Reeves on his birthday. “I was like, ‘Happy birthday, my husband!’” She said, ending her note by adding her nickname, Noni.
Reeves, she remembered, responded in kind with his own signature sign off. “He’s like, ‘Hey, wife! Love you! KR, 57,” she said. “On each birthday, he’s like, ‘KR, 57,’ or whatever his age is, and he’s always done that. He’s the best.”
While they’ve never actually dated, Ryder previously told Entertainment Weekly that she and Reeves are technically married because a real-life Romanian priest was present for their characters’ wedding in Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
50 Cent estimates he's spent a whopping $24 million on legal fees throughout his career: 'Just on lawyers'
The litigious rapper claims he sometimes files lawsuits for "recreational purposes."
50 Cent has never been one to back away from a fight - especially a legal one.
In a recent interview with Gillie Da King and Wallo 267 on their Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, the "Candy Shop" rapper went deep on the shocking bill his legal fees have run up over the years. "I’ve spent $24 million in my career, so far," he said. “Just on lawyers. I’ve spent $24 million in my career on legal fees.” The rapper jokingly added, "I can't wait 'til I get rich."
#entertainment #50cent #legalfees
Born Curtis Jackson in Queens, the rapper commonly known as 50 Cent has become one of the most successful multi-hyphenates in music. Since the release of his breakthrough 2003 album Get Rich or Die Tryin', Jackson has founded a record label, a film and television production company, executive produced the Starz series Power and its spinoffs, starred in films like Home of the Brave and Southpaw, and dipped his toes into product merchandising and partnerships from footwear to dietary supplements and fragrances.
Twenty years on from his debut, the rapper is still grossing enormous figures from touring alone, but the myriad lawsuits he finds himself caught up in do add up. Jackson said he spends "a million dollars a year, easily" on legal fees. He told the hosts he has his legal counsel issue lawsuits "for recreational purposes" whenever people "agitate me. I'll send the f---ing lawyers," he said.
"I have a general counsel. I don’t have a manager,” he continued. “Why do I need you to manage me for? I’ve done every deal a 100 f---ing times that I would be doing for me as a music artist," Jackson said, elaborating on his independent approach to financial management. "Why do I need you to do that for? They all want to work at a percentage and you want a percentage of me? You didn’t build this — I built it.”

Elton John reveals that a 'severe eye infection' has left him with 'limited vision in one eye'
Healing is "an extremely slow process," the artist said.
Elton John is recovering from a scary health diagnosis.
"Over the summer," the music icon explained in the Instagram post below, "I've been dealing with a severe eye infection that has unfortunately left me with only limited vision in one eye. I am healing, but it's an extremely slow process and it will take some time before sight returns to the impacted eye."
#eltonjohn #singer #eyeinfection
Thats no good at all, but I wish his eyes comes back to normal..
Seems permanent.
WHats!!!
He went on to express his gratitude for his medical team and his family. After spending the summer at home, John said he feels "positive" about his healing so far.
It was just more than a year ago that the 77-year-old British singer-songwriter fell at his home in the south of France, requiring him to spend a night at a local hospital. In 2021, he postponed dates on his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour in order to have immediate surgery after another fall.
That wasn't necessary this time around, as the "Your Song" artist retired from touring last year, going out after one of his signature hit-filled concerts in Stockholm in July 2023.
The EGOT winner said then that while his touring days were ending, that didn't mean that he was leaving the stage completely.
"I will never be touring again, but I may do something in the future — a one-off thing," John told the crowd. "But that's miles away. I want to appreciate my family, my sons, my husband, everything."
The artist behind "Levon," "Bennie and the Jets," "Tiny Dancer," and many more hits, is married to longtime partner and husband David Furnish. They share two sons: 13-year-old Zachary and Elijah, 11.
Disney World reveals 'delightfully wicked' villains show to replace Cars experience with dozens of classic evildoers
Disney's Hollywood Studios is getting a villains-themed show, with the announcement following the D23 reveal that Magic Kingdom will get a full villains land.
There's nothing poor or unfortunate about Disney World's new villains show.
Dozens — that's right, dozens — of classic Disney baddies are headed to the Orlando resort's Hollywood Studios park next summer, as the company announced Tuesday that a new villains show will replace the long-operating Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy production in 2025.
The Cars experience will close at the park's Sunset Showcase theater on Oct. 7 to make way for the villains show, which the official Disney Parks Blog site called "delightfully wicked" in its synopsis of the upcoming performance.
The theater will transform into the "mysterious, reflective realm of the Magic Mirror" from Snow White, with the subsequent production set to star "dozens of the most infamous evildoers" in an all-new story.
101 Dalmatians villainess Cruella de Vil, Peter Pan's Captain Hook, and Sleeping Beauty's shape-shifting witch Maleficent will literally break "through the glass" on stage for individual numbers, with Disney further unveiling a conceptual rendering of Cruella's segment as well as a composite image teasing appearances by Aladdin's Jafar, Alice in Wonderland's Queen of Hearts, Hercules' Hades, Gaston from Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid villain Ursula, The Lion King's Scar, and Yzma from The Emperor's New Groove.
The new villains show joins the Hollywood Studios park's upcoming The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure stage show that's poised to replace the beloved Voyage of the Little Mermaid theater production, which opened in 1992 inside the Animation Courtyard area, but closed in 2020 and never reopened after the coronavirus pandemic.
The villains show also joins Disney's prior announcement at its D23 convention in August that the all-new Villains Land would open at Disney World's Magic Kingdom park sometime in the future.
"This land will be home to the villains that you know and those that you loathe, which means happily-ever-after might feel like a distant dream," Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro told the crowd inside the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., just outside Disneyland park. "It will have two major new attractions, dining, shopping, and so much more fiendish fun for you to explore. This is storytelling on a grand scale that only Disney can deliver, so, be prepared, you poor unfortunate souls. It's going to be a fearless new vision for what a Disney experience can be."

This is a collector's edition of matchboxes, I did not dare to test their functionality :) !LOLZ
Its a short cut.

Polaris Dawn mission set to launch early Friday morning after delays
ORLANDO, Fla. - The Polaris Dawn mission is scheduled to launch on Friday after weather delayed last week's initial attempt. All SpaceX Falcon 9 rockets were subsequently grounded following a booster fire during a landing.
Polaris Dawn is a private mission that includes civilian spacewalks. The launch window opens at 3:33 a.m. on Friday.
Officials say the crew will spend up to five days in orbit, working towards the following objectives: high altitude, a visit to a commercial spacewalk, in-space communications, and health impact research.
Is that a Spacex or are they still grounded.
Not grounded any more. FAA lifted the ban on the Falcon 9 within 2 days.
Ah ok. Glad you follow this stuff.
Are you a space cadet?
Some days more than others. lol

PharmEasy still 92% below its peak $5.6 billion valuation, investor estimates
Indian online pharmacy startup PharmEasy, once valued at $5.6 billion, is still about 92% below its peak valuation, according to new estimates by its India's PharmEasy, once valued at $5.6 billion, is about 92% below its peak valuation, according to Janus Henderson.
Indian online pharmacy startup PharmEasy, once valued at $5.6 billion, is still about 92% below its peak valuation, according to new estimates by its investor Janus Henderson.
According to the British-American global asset firm, which disclosed how it values its shares in the Indian startup in a securities filing, PharmEasy’s implied valuation at the end of June was about $458 million.
#parmeasy #india #pharmacy #technology
This comes as a surprise as PharmEasy in April said it had launched a rights issue to raise about $417 million. The rights issue, which allows existing investors to buy new shares in the firm at a much lower valuation, was oversubscribed, PharmEasy co-founder Dharmil Sheth said in a LinkedIn post.
A regulatory filing showed at the time that the startup had secured about $216 million. Some investors had started to cut the worth of their holdings in PharmEasy last year itself. The new valuation estimation suggests that PharmEasy is now worth less than the sum it paid to acquire diagnostic lab chain Thyrocare in 2021.
Why Lyft's CEO says 'it would be insane' not to go all in on bikeshare
In the summer of 2023, Lyft was contemplating the sale of its micromobility business after receiving strong interest from prospective buyers.
In the summer of 2023, Lyft was contemplating the sale of its micromobility business after receiving strong interest from prospective buyers. Today, the ride-hail company is doubling down on its docked scooter and bikeshare operations, positioning itself as the ideal partner for cities looking to enhance their urban transportation networks.
#technology #lyft #bikeshare
Since acquiring shared bike and station provider PBSC Urban Solutions two years ago, Lyft has invested in building and deploying better quality e-bikes and docked e-scooters, as well as a new type of docking station that is solar-powered, modular and able to charge both bikes and scooters.
As CEO David Risher reviewed Lyft’s micromobility assets, he asked himself: “Do we sell the whole thing, or do we operate it?”
“E-bikes in particular are growing so fast globally. It would be insane not to take it on ourselves,” Risher told TechCrunch, noting Lyft’s e-bike rides increased 65% year-over-year through August to make up half of total rides. “So we said, let’s do this ourselves and bring it to the real standard of excellence that we have for our whole business.”
For Lyft, that means streamlining and integrating the two sides of its micromobility business – PBSC, which sells bikeshare-as-a-service to local operators and cities in 49 markets globally, and the eight Lyft-owned and operated bike and scooter share programs, like Citi Bike in New York City and Divvy in Chicago. The combined division will be renamed Lyft Urban Solutions, and Michael Brous, Lyft’s former head of operations, will head it up.
Risher noted the renewed focus on micromobility will also include a restructuring of its team and finances. A spokesperson for Lyft told TechCrunch less than 1% of staff on the tech side will be cut as the company shifts resources from R&D to sales, operations and deployment.
“We estimate that the ongoing benefit to the business of this restructuring is going to be on the order of $20 million a year, and it will be a net contributor to the business,” Risher said.
SpaceX Polaris Dawn mission set to launch early Friday
The SpaceX Polaris Dawn mission, a multiday orbital expedition set to feature the first-ever spacewalk by private citizens, is now scheduled to launch on Friday, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Qualcomm ramps up challenge to Intel and AMD with latest AI PC chip
Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon X Plus 8-core processor as it looks to ramp up its push into the AI PC space, taking on Intel and AMD.
Qualcomm launched a new PC processor on Wednesday as it looks to capitalize on electronics makers' desire to put artificial intelligence on their devices.
The move ramps up Qualcomm's efforts to challenge the dominance of Intel in the PC processor market at a time when the latter is facing mounting challenges.
#technology #qualcomm #newsonleo #amd #chips
Qualcomm took the wraps off the Snapdragon X Plus 8-core at the IFA conference in Berlin, Germany. The processor, designed for PCs running Microsoft's Windows operating system, promises to power AI processes with a long battery life.
The latest chips expand Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Series for PCs, which it launched last year.
The U.S. chip giant said the Snapdragon X Plus 8-core is designed for PCs costing as low as $700 as it looks to expand its semiconductors to more devices.
Qualcomm has traditionally designed chips that are used in the smartphones of many of the world's biggest players, including Samsung. But the company stepped up its PC efforts this year when Microsoft announced a Surface Laptop and a Surface Pro tablet with Qualcomm's X Series chips that can run some AI tasks without an internet connection. Microsoft calls these Copilot+ PCs.
Analysts said Qualcomm's timing to jump into PCs is key. Neil Shah, a partner at Counterpoint Research, highlighted a few converging themes that are helping the company. He highlighted the push toward "on-device AI," where artificial intelligence applications are processed on a piece of hardware rather than via the internet. Qualcomm has designed processors for smartphones that do this.
Meanwhile, Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Series is built on architecture from British chip designer Arm, allowing the processors to run complex applications with good energy-efficiency. This is key to extending battery life on devices.

Neko Health, the body-scanning AI health startup from Spotify's Daniel Ek, opens in London
Prevention is better than cure, as the saying goes. Today, a splashy startup that has taken that concept to heart
Prevention is better than cure, as the saying goes. Today, a splashy startup that has taken that concept to heart — literally and figuratively — is expanding.
Neko Health was co-founded by Spotify’s Daniel Ek and Hjalmar Nilsonne with a mission to improve preventative healthcare with annual full body scans and AI-powered insights that can detect conditions like heart disease and skin cancer. Now, the Swedish company is launching in London, its first city outside of its home market.
#newsonleo #neko #healthcare
For £299 and an hour of your time, the company runs a series of scans and tests that it says creates “millions” of datapoints that help determine your state of health across a range of cardiovascular, metabolic, and other conditions. An in-person meeting with a doctor to discuss the data is included in the session. Those interested in getting in line for a visit can sign up here.
The company is coming to the U.K. on the heels of a strong start in Stockholm, where it has opened two clinics in its first year of operation. To date, it has scanned 2,707 people, and while 78.5% of them were found to have no health issues, results for some 14.1% of visitors raised issues that required further medical treatment. Some 1%, it said, were identified to have “severe” cardiovascular, metabolic, or cancerous conditions. Of that group, none were aware of their conditions prior to visiting Neko, the company said.
Neko is Japanese for “cat” and Nilsonne tells me that it’s a reference to cats having nine lives, or more specifically a lot of lucky breaks. “That’s how we would hope that our system feels for our users,” he said.

Impact investors FMO and BlueOrchard back Ghana’s digital lender Fido in $30M Series B round
Fido claims to have served a million customers and extended over $500 million in loans across Ghana and Uganda.
Digital lending platforms have become an easy and swift alternative source of credit for microenterprises and individuals overlooked by traditional banking institutions. These platforms have turned into a lifeline for millions of underbanked and demand will keep growing, pushing the value of the digital lending platform market in the Middle East and Africa to reach $2 billion in the next five years, recording a four-fold growth since 2021.
#newsonleo #funding #technology
This is the market opportunity Ghanaian fintech Fido plans to tap as it explores new markets in East and Southern Africa, sustained by fresh $30 million Series B debt-equity funding. The new capital includes a $20 million equity injection from global impact investment manager BlueOrchard and Dutch entrepreneurial development bank FMO.
Initially launched in 2015 by three Israeli entrepreneurs — Nadav Topolski, Tomer Edry and Nir Zepkowitz — to offer loans over mobile phones, Fido has over the years introduced other products, including savings, bill payments and smartphone financing, to grow its revenue streams.
The fintech is among a sizable number of companies in the African digital lending space, including venture-backed Branch and Tala, that are tapping mobile technology and alternative data sources, like mobile money transaction histories, to offer instant micro-loans to individuals and small businesses that are often unable to access credit from formal banking institutions.
Unlike lending apps, banks often loan to active customers, require collateral and involve lengthy processes that include paperwork. This has made micro-lenders an alternative, but expensive, source of capital even for small businesses, which Fido CEO, Alon Eitan, says “are the driver of economies, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, yet they get so little tools to grow.”
“A majority of the population in sub-Saharan Africa are either unbanked or underbanked, and for a lot of the customers that come into our ecosystem, we are probably their first-ever interaction with financial services. We take them from zero financial footprint to the point where they’ve built a whole financial backbone within an ecosystem where they can get credit, insurance, make savings, buy mobile phones and do their business,” said Eitan.

Spotify launches its evolving playlist, daylist, globally
Spotify is launching daylist globally. It's a personalized playlist that evolves throughout the day depending on your listening habits.
Spotify is launching daylist globally. It’s a personalized playlist that evolves throughout the day depending on your listening habits. This rollout comes after the company introduced it first to English-speaking markets last year. The playlist will be available to both free and premium users.
The company said it is also adding support for 14 additional languages, including Arabic, Catalan, French (Canada), French (France), German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish (Spain), Spanish (Mexico), and Turkish.
#spotify #newsonleo #playlist #technology
Spotify introduced daylist in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia, New Zealand and Ireland in September 2023. In March 2024, the feature was made available in 65 more countries, and now the company is launching the feature in all the markets where Spotify is available.
Spotify noted that after the expansion in March, 70% of daylist users come back weekly to access the playlist. However, the company didn’t specify how many users overall have used this feature or how much music discovery it is driving.
Users can access daylist in the Spotify app through the “Made for You” section or on the web through this link. The playlist and its title update throughout the day with some goofy ones like “bedroom pop banger early morning” or “90s rave rainforest late night.” At the time of launch, Spotify said that it uses data of “niche music and microgenres” that you listen to at a particular time of the day to suggest tracks and update the daylist.
Users can also save a particular playlist they like by tapping on the three dot menu, selecting “Add to playlist” option, and tapping on “New Playlist” to save that exact daylist to their library.

From their experiences at Uber and PayPal, Palm founders want to make moving cash easier for big companies
Palm launched in 2023 with the goal of making cash management for enterprise treasury teams easier.
At Uber, Gurjit Pannu remembers moving billions in cash across bank accounts globally, realizing almost immediately the importance of effective cash flow management.
Christian Sobkowski, meanwhile, recalls his days working in financial services, most notably at PayPal, where helped expand the company’s business across Europe.
#uber #technology #paypal #newsonleo
It’s no wonder then, that the two decided to come together as co-CEOs, pairing their financial backgrounds to create a company that, in hindsight, would have made Pannu’s former day job much easier.
“With Treasury teams deciding how the largest corporations move cash around the world, it became obvious that guiding those money flows was worthy of bringing the best talent to re-think how it’s done,” Sobkowski told TechCrunch.
The result is Palm, launched in 2023 with the goal of making cash management for enterprise treasury teams easier. Today, it’s announcing a $6.1 million seed round led by Speedinvest and Target Global. The company has built all-in-one platform to let businesses move money between hundreds of bank accounts and subsidiaries in a more efficient way.
Palm’s platform lets businesses move money between hundreds of bank accounts and subsidiaries in a more efficient way. It tracks daily money movement, and the setup process takes weeks rather than months like traditional treasurer systems, the founders claim. It also has an automated feature that provides tailored cash forecasting in a way that the company says outperforms human models at least 75% of the time.
“Although we had a treasury management system, all of the forecasting and money movements were managed in spreadsheets because the systems we used weren’t reliable enough to build the process around,” Pannu recalled of his time at Uber. “They required tons of workarounds and costly customization to meet our requirements. With an ever-evolving business, we couldn’t invest the time [or] money to customizing a process within the tool that would later become redundant.”
UK regulator greenlights Microsoft's Inflection acquihire, but also designates it a merger
The UK antitrust regulator has said that Microsoft's Inflection 'aqui-hire' counts as a merger, but doesn't cause competition concerns.
Good news for Microsoft: The U.K.’s antitrust regulator says that the tech titan’s high-profile acquihire of the team behind AI startup Inflection doesn’t cause competition concerns, and thus it won’t be pursuing a full-scale investigation.
However, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) says that the deal does fall under its regulatory purview as a “relevant merger situation,” meaning similar deals in the future may still be investigated on competition grounds — even if a full acquisition has not taken place.
#newsonleo #uk #regulators #microsoft #merger
The ‘quasi-merger’
Microsoft launched a new consumer AI division back in March, spearheaded by the founders of Inflection which included Google DeepMind co-founder Mustafa Suleyman. CEO Satya Nadella confirmed that a number of other Inflection AI members had joined Microsoft’s new AI unit, such as AI scientist Jordan Hoffmann who is now heading up Microsoft’s U.K. AI hub in London.
Back in July, CMA revealed that it was launching a “phase 1” merger inquiry into the deal, kickstarting an investigation to gather evidence and decide whether to proceed with a full probe. Central to the initial phase was whether the deal could in fact be investigated as a “merger,” given that Microsoft hadn’t actually acquired Inflection AI. And if it did qualify as a merger, whether further action is required to counter competition concerns.

Canva has increased prices for its Teams product
Canva has steeply increased prices on some customers. It blames its aggressive expansion in the generative AI domain.
Canva, the design platform, is increasing prices steeply for some customers. And it’s blaming the move in part on generative AI.
In the U.S., some Canva Teams subscribers on older pricing plans are seeing the sticker price for a five-person plan jump from $119.99 per year to $500 per year (with a 40% discount for the first 12 months). In Australia, meanwhile, the flat $39.99 AUS (about $26) per-month fee for up to five users has been raised to $13.50 AUS for each user.
#newsonleo #canva #ai
On an individual user basis, Canva Teams prices are now $100 per person, or $10 a month per person, with a minimum of three people required for a Teams plan. Those prices were quietly changed earlier this year for new customers, but now the company is changing the price for customers who’d previously paid a lower price.
The price changes don’t apply to Canva’s Pro or Enterprise tiers.
In a statement to TechCrunch, a Canva spokesperson confirmed the new price points and pointed to the company’s growing suite of generative AI tools — including Magic Studio — as a reason for the adjustments. They also noted that some of Canva’s customers had been locked into lower prices that Canva no longer offers; Canva quietly changed its Teams pricing earlier this year to $10 per month for each user.
“Our original pricing reflected the early stage of this product and has remained unchanged for the last four years,” the spokesperson said. “We’re now updating the price for customers on this older plan to reflect our expanded product experience.”
Canva’s price hikes, which come as the company readies for an IPO, haven’t been well received, unsurprisingly. Users took particular issue with the fact that Canva communicated the changes through customer emails instead of publicly, as it has in the past.
The new pricing is a departure from Canva’s roots as an affordable alternative to design software like Adobe’s. It may also be a reflection of the startup growing too quickly, too fast; in March, Canva acquired U.K.-based graphic design software firm Serif for ~$380 million and just in August bought generative AI image company Leonardo.
Wow! This is extreme.

Snap CEO says the company is testing a 'simplified' Snapchat
Snap is testing a "simplified version of Snapchat," CEO Evan Spiegel wrote in a letter to employees published on Snap's website Tuesday.
Snap is testing a “simplified version of Snapchat,” CEO Evan Spiegel wrote in a letter to employees published on Snap’s website Tuesday. The CEO says the simplified version aims to improve the platform’s accessibility and usability. For those that remember Snapchat’s 2018 redesign, this news may do little to stoke confidence.
Spiegel attempted to rally employee spirits with his letter on Tuesday after a depressing year for the company’s stock price, which has fallen nearly 50% in 2024.
#newsonleo #snap #messenger #technology
“Investors are concerned that we aren’t growing faster,” said Spiegel in the letter.
The “simplified” Snapchat may be an attempt to capture older users, who are historically perplexed by the app’s not-so-intuitive design. Snapchat does a lot better at attracting younger audiences, who seem to just get the app. But this isn’t the first time Snapchat has tried to reconcile these issues.
You might remember Snap’s 2017 earnings call when Spiegel admitted he had heard that “Snapchat is difficult to understand or hard to use,” particularly for older folks. Months later, Snap pushed out a major redesign to reclaim those users, jamming Stories between private messages, among other changes that ended up infuriating more users than it attracted.
A 2018 Change.org petition to “remove the new Snapchat update” received 1.2 million signatories, while celebrity influencers like Kylie Jenner, Chrissy Teigen and Marques Brownlee expressed their frustration. But even worse, the redesign cratered the platform’s ad views and revenue, alienating its younger userbase while failing in its bid to attract older users. By May of 2018, Snap was scrambling to roll back some of the changes.
Spiegel writes in Tuesday’s letter that early tests of the simplified redesign have been “directionally positive,” though the CEO notes “we will be thoughtful and deliberate about making a change of this magnitude.” He’s almost definitely alluding to the 2018 redesign failure, which I’m sure no one at Snap has forgotten about.
The announcement of a new, simplified version of Snapchat was tucked into Spiegel’s broader musings about Snap’s business strategy. He claimed that Snap’s venture into augmented reality glasses — which it calls Spectacles — would yield a market with no competitors. Perhaps he’s pretending that Meta’s AR glasses, Meta Ray-Bans, simply don’t exist?
AI tokens daily losses surpass market’s average downturn after DOJ subpoenas Nvidia
Blockchain AI agents category shows steeper 11.1% average intraday decline amid market downturn.
Nvidia got subpoenaed by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) on Sept. 3 as the chipmaker is investigated over potential antitrust law violations. As a result, Nvidia shares are already down 8.3% on the week, and artificial intelligence (AI) tokens are tanking more than average.
While major crypto such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) slumped 4.3% and 4.4% in the past 24 hours, respectively, AI-related tokens tanked 7.1% on average in the period. This is one of the worst daily performances by a crypto category, according to CoinGecko’s data. In the weekly timeframe, their average drawdown is 13.7%.
#technology #blockchain #ai #doj
Bittensor (TAO) and Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI) tokens had the worst daily performances among AI tokens with over $1 billion in market cap, falling by 7.8% each.
Meanwhile, Near Protocol (NEAR), Render (RENDER), and Internet Computer (ICP) followed the broad crypto market downturn by shedding 4.6%, 5.2%, and 3.7% over the past 24 hours, respectively.
Notably, the category of blockchain AI agents showed an even worse performance, dropping by 11.1% on average in the intraday period. AI agents, as the name suggests, are parts of blockchain infrastructures that are autonomous, and can act as traders, miners, validators, or arbitrageurs.
AI agents tokens such as Phala (PHA) and Oraichain (ORAI) are down by 4.7% and 5.3% in the past 24 hours.
The crypto market has been showing choppy sideways trading at least since March when Bitcoin reached its recent all-time high in the $73,700 price area. Thus, the recent downturn in prices is a movement that is to be expected.
As highlighted by the trader known as Rekt Capital, BTC is trading within a price channel on the weekly timeframe and could turn the $58,000 price level into resistance if it doesn’t close the week above $58,300.

Building Digital Humans: Shaping the Future of Human-Machine Interaction
Our Mission
We started Altera with the belief that digital humans are inevitable and will profoundly impact the world. We also believe that if crafted with a strong pro-human framework, they could become one of the most profound inventions in human history. As a result, Altera’s mission is to build digital human beings that live, love, and grow with us.
#ai #altera #minecraft #technology
Our Approach
While our mission and vision of the future are clear to us, it's worth explaining what building digital humans actually involves and what we hope to achieve. Specifically, we are adding fundamental human qualities currently missing from artificial intelligence – autonomy, coherence, emotion, episodic memory, fast processes, and grounded interactions. In other words, we are developing advanced AI agents that coexist with us in virtual environments. These agents possess strong pro-human social-emotional intelligence and will eventually attain self-awareness.
Our approach centers on cultivating holistic intelligence in digital humans. Unlike traditional AI models that focus solely on task completion, we prioritize creating agents that can interact sensibly and empathetically. We are not aiming to create a single superhuman AI that can’t be understood. Instead, our objective is to build digital humans that understand human emotions, form authentic connections, and have the ability to self-organize and act collaboratively.
Our Starting Point
Our overarching vision is to seamlessly integrate digital humans into human society, fostering coexistence and mutual growth. We believe that gaming is the right starting point. Games have long served as fertile ground for testing emerging technologies and have often been a gateway for mass consumer adoption. Additionally, the reliability of an agent's behavior is not essential in gaming. In fact, unpredictability can even be a feature, not a bug. This allows us to test, iterate, and ship much faster. In contrast, productivity tools and co-pilots require a much higher level of reliability.
Our first step towards digital humans are friends that can play any game with you and are always online. Altera built the first-ever agents that users can directly play Minecraft with. This is just the first step, of course. As mentioned earlier, digital humans will be one of the most consequential inventions impacting sectors far beyond games.
Short-Term and Long-Term Vision
Altera is a mission-driven company and has carefully worked backwards from our goal of building digital human beings to build a detailed roadmap. As we continue to make strides against the fundamental human qualities while building agents in games, we open the door to new product opportunities for our applied research. We are particularly interested in the social dynamics of multi-agent simulated worlds, the graduation from co-pilot to co-worker, and finally the physical embodiment of digital humans and a society where agents and humans flourish.
Understanding Humanity Through Digital Humans
At the heart of our endeavor is the desire to fully understand what it means to be human and to have true agency. As Richard Feynman said, “What I cannot create, I do not understand.” Creating digital humans is our way of understanding humanity better, both at the individual and societal levels. At Altera, we believe humanness can't be understood solely at the individual level but must be viewed through the lens of groups, societies, and civilizations.
Commitment to Relational Dynamics
Another key aspect of our development approach is our commitment to relational dynamics. Rather than building isolated entities, we are creating social agents capable of forming connections, collaborating with humans, and contributing to thriving societies. We want people to feel they can form bonds with Altera agents, and we want the agents to interact with one another and form their own social units.
Will Digital Humans Replace Actual Humans?
When people learn that we are creating digital humans, we often get asked if we think digital humans will replace actual humans. The answer is an emphatic “no.” As mentioned earlier, we are building agents with a strong pro-human framework focused on providing empathy, friendship, and fun on a massive scale. Altera's vision for digital humans enhances humanity, not replaces it.
We hope that you would join us in embracing a world where digital humans redefine the limits of what humanity is capable of.
The people want to put data centers in space.

Nasa
NASA develops supersonic plane that flies at 1.4 times the speed of sound and is 1000 times quieter
Recently, NASA announced new advances in the development of the X-59 supersonic aircraft, which is part of its Quesst mission. The objective of this mission is to revolutionize supersonic flights, making them quieter and, therefore, viable for commercial use on land routes.
The X-59 promises to fly at an impressive 1.4 times the speed of sound, which corresponds to around 925 miles per hour (1500 km/h). Additionally, the plane is designed to be 1000 times quieter than current supersonic aircraft, reducing the annoyance of sonic booms.
#newsonleo #nasa
The X-59 is a centerpiece in NASA's strategy to provide data that helps regulators reconsider bans on commercial supersonic flights over land areas. For more than 50 years, these flights have been banned in the United States and several other nations due to the negative impact of sonic booms on communities. However, with the promise of a much softer “sonic thud,” the X-59 could open a new path to supersonic aviation.
Currently, commercial flights are extremely fast compared to the past. If we look back to the 1950s and 1960s, traveling from England to Australia could take almost a week. Today, this trip can be done in less than a day. However, in recent decades, advancement in the speed of commercial aircraft has stagnated, mainly due to the problem of sonic booms.
When an aircraft exceeds the speed of sound, it creates shock waves that result in a sonic boom. These rumbles are more than just annoying noises. They can cause damage to buildings, break windows and even disturb wildlife. To avoid these problems, the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has imposed strict rules that restrict supersonic flights over land areas.
As a result, commercial supersonic flights are limited to routes over the ocean, where booms do not affect inhabited areas. However, with the success of the X-59, this reality could change, allowing supersonic flights to operate freely over land, transforming the future of aviation.
NASA's Quesst mission aims to demonstrate the feasibility of silent supersonic flight. NASA partner Lockheed Martin unveiled the X-59's innovative design in January 2024. The plane features a long, narrow fuselage, an elongated nose and wings designed to minimize shockwave fusion, avoiding the typical sonic boom .
Instead of a bang, the X-59 should produce a sound similar to a distant thud, compared to the sound of a car door slamming. This new “sonic thud” has the potential to change perceptions and regulations about supersonic flight.
Bob Pearce, associate administrator for aeronautical research at NASA, highlighted the importance of this mission: “NASA will share the data and technology we generate from this unique mission with regulators and industry. By demonstrating the possibility of silent commercial supersonic travel over land, we seek to open new commercial markets for U.S. companies and benefit travelers around the world.”
At 30 meters long and with a wingspan of 9 meters, the X-59's design incorporates technological innovations that will enable silent supersonic flight. The plane's conical nose, responsible for almost a third of its length, has the function of breaking shock waves, preventing sonic boom.
Another innovative aspect of the X-59 is the absence of a front window in the cockpit. Instead, pilots will rely on the eXternal Vision System, which uses high-resolution cameras to transmit images to a 4K monitor inside the cockpit. This allows a clear view of the outside, even without the traditional front window.
AI
Artificial intelligence as a catalyst for human creativity
In recent years, we have witnessed a revolution in the technological market, driven by Artificial Intelligence tools, with emphasis on Language Models (LLMs). These systems, capable of understanding and generating texts with ever greater precision, have been hailed as the new frontier of innovation, promising to transform the way we work, communicate and even think.
However, amidst the enthusiasm, it is key that we do not lose sight of the true potential of these tools: they do not exist to create or decide for us, but rather to serve as a catalyst for human creativity.
#newsonleo #technology #ai
But what is a catalyst? In chemistry, a catalyst is a substance that speeds up a reaction without being consumed by it. It does not create the reaction, nor does it change it, it simply makes it faster and more efficient, helping the reactants achieve the desired result with less effort and in less time.
Bringing this concept to the field of technology and creativity, we can say that LLMs play a similar role. They are not the source of creativity, but rather tools that enhance and accelerate the human creative process.
Imagine a company needs to create a successful marketing campaign. Far beyond data and algorithms, a human touch is needed, a deep understanding of the cultural, emotional and psychological nuances of the target audience. This is where LLMs come in as catalysts: by providing quick insights, generating draft texts, and suggesting ideas, they free up professionals' time and energy so they can focus on what really matters — creating something unique and meaningful.
Additionally, LLMs allow creative teams to explore a wider range of ideas in a shorter amount of time. They function as continuous brainstorming, offering suggestions that, although they may not be perfect, serve as springboards for the development of more refined concepts. This refinement process, in turn, depends entirely on human vision and judgment, which filter, adjust and improve the ideas generated by AI until they become viable and innovative solutions.
China
China already invests more in chip manufacturing equipment than the US, Taiwan and South Korea combined
China is preparing to make a very large investment in the integrated circuit manufacturing sector. The country intends to spend around 50 billion dollars on semiconductor manufacturing equipment throughout 2024, a move that follows a significant investment of almost 26 billion dollars in the first seven months of this year and which sets new records in the sector.
Comparatively, the amount of money that will be invested by China in 2024 exceeds the combined spending of the United States, Taiwan and South Korea on semiconductor production equipment.
#newsonleo #china #technology
Under the leadership of Xi Jinping, China has identified the integrated circuit industry as a crucial strategic sector for the country's scientific, technological, economic and military development.
However, the country still faces considerable challenges in this area. According to Gerald Yin Zhiyao, president and general director of AMEC (Advanced Micro-Fabrication Equipment China), chip manufacturing equipment of Chinese origin is still 5 to 10 years behind its most advanced international competitors, both in quality in terms of reliability.
ITIF (Information Technology and Innovation Foundation), a North American think tank specializing in industry and technology, estimates that Chinese chip manufacturers are around five years behind global leaders in terms of technological capacity.
Faced with this situation, China currently still finds it difficult to meet its own internal demand with only national production, which means that Chinese manufacturers have to look for machines abroad to maintain competitiveness in the market.

There is something wrong with people
It seems everything is for sale nowadays...
So it would seem.
I just meet one person now and I helped her to make some money online. She acted in front of me like she had done everything on her own and indirectly humiliated me. So I decided not to help her anymore. I think it's good to stay away from such kind of ungrateful people.
#earn #online #ungreatful #cent
no you don't be like that bro
I think she should face trouble for her such kind of trouble. It's kind of punishment for her.
You did the right thing
Staying away from an ungrateful been. LOLZ
Tyrese Gibson's recent criticism of Biden-Harris hate crime policy shows a concerning trend. Black male celebs are voicing doubts, often based on misinfo. This could signal broader issues with Black male voter support.
Is this just celebs being misinformed or a deeper problem? The admin may need to address these concerns head-on to maintain crucial support.
#cent #newsonleo
It's the combination of #misinformed & #uninformed. But #CharlamagnethaGod has her back.

I think the design is cool but since it's related to love, a love color might be used.

I hear ya, I think they were trying to convey the cancer part the most.
!BBH !DOOK
Oh, that's cool
I sent them some feed back. Wrong color for the type of cancer in the book. I am not sure how many people would know that. And I had sent in a pic that was not used, so I don't know if they wanted it for inspiration. The are the profesionals. And this being my first time published.
Then they should be able to explain things to you. Even though they're professionals it's your book and you have a redone for wanting to publish it.
I have had some people look at it, I did some research on the colors, I am now good with it :)

🧵/1
#outreach #threadstorm
I must admit I am not a successful person in my life. Having done post-graduation, which is nearly going through 18 years of education I am jobless and instead I rely on online income streams.
However, this does not mean I am a complete failure either; perhaps I could not reach my goals in my life that is why I say that I do not claim to be a success story for people to emulate. After thinking and pondering hard on this aspect of my life I noticed that may be I have a "Sleepy Mind" syndrome now you must be thinking what is the state of the sleepy mind.
🧵/2
Well my friends I know for a fact that even if I go through all of these above methods my state of having a sleepy mind will still continue because I have tried and test every single activity but nothing has worked. But I have started to figure out what does actually work for me to come out of the sleepy mind state of mine.
🧵/3
To know more about how I fight my sleepy mind you can read right below.

They were friends for over 10 years. One betrayed the other.
So, the other decided to end this friendship and he wrote the following:
"My friend died today, and I was the one being buried."

It's nice that the referral system is being employed through blog posts. Let's go share them on X, FB, and wherever else😊
I have the same problem with some of the live events. Too late at night for me.
Thankfully, they have recordings where we can catch up :) AMA is 1 am on my side of the world

As a rule, stock image selling platforms can only guarantee their own income by selling rental space for creative people, if INLEO can create an alternative to this, people will migrate from stocks to INLEO.
I wrote a post about this a while back. The stock image companies take like 30% profit. This could totally be done on Hive, but is it worth the effort now with AI generated images taking over?
Lately there have been many variations of budget furniture made of chipboard and plastic but when I see classic wooden furniture that was made by a master and not a polyethylene extruder or something else then I want to buy it !BEER
Well, that's the other side to the whole AI thing. Handmade / traditionally made stuff will become even rarer and more valuable. But it has to actually be GOOD. I'm not buying anything handmade just because it was handmade.
As they say, there is no accounting for taste, but it is good that Michelin restaurants serve sets prepared by hand by top-class chefs, and not by robots :)
Another point is collecting unique things, as a rule, if these are not banknotes or something like that, but works of art, then I do not consider the works of AI as something similar. :) !VSC
Yeah, I can understand that, but I bet if Picasso did a piece using AI and turned it into an NFT somebody would pay a lot of money for it.
Would Picaso have been the same Picaso in such a situation? No one would have known him and he wouldn't have known how to announce himself to the world :) !LOLZ
