The energy at the Arnold Sports Festival never disappoints. Each year, thousands of fitness enthusiasts, athletes, and industry leaders gather in Columbus, OH, for one of the largest celebrations of strength and performance in the world. While the competitions, celebrity appearances, and expo floor activations always bring the crowd, one of the biggest highlights this year was something far more interactive-people stepping up to test the equipment themselves.

feature CERN is nothing like today’s agentic AI jockeys, who mostly rely on pre-set weights and generic TPUs and GPUs to generate their slop. CERN burns custom nanosecond-speed AI into the silicon itself just to eliminate excess data. Like the major league pitcher who comes to his kid’s take-your-parent-to-school day, CERN’s Thea Aarrestad gave a presentation at the virtual Monster Scale Summit earlier this month about meeting a set of ultra-stringent requirements that few of her peers may ever experience. Aarrestad is an assistant professor of particle physics at ETH Zurich. AT CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research), she uses…

Following the win, Page reacted to White potentially leaving his fight.“Nah, not really,” Page said to reporters. “Again, it’s just when you’re a man in those positions,…

Indonesian Navy’s (TNI AL) second Multipurpose Combat Ship / Pattugliatore Polivalente d’Altura (PPA), KRI Prabu Siliwangi (321), has arrived in the country on March 22 after a lengthy transit from Italy. KRI Prabu Siliwangi departed La Spezia Naval Base on 11 February 2026.

During this journey, the vessel made port calls in Morocco, Nigeria, South Africa, and Mauritius. There has been no official public explanation for…

It has been more than 20 years since I began writing this “retirement planning” column and more than 40 years since I started studying federal benefits so that I could teach and counsel federal employees about their retirement and insurance benefits. As the old saying goes, “time flies when you’re having fun!” During the past four decades, I have seen changes in federal retirement and insurance benefits due to changes in laws and policies. As I look back to 1985 (the year I was assigned to work in the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s “retirement office”), here are some of the…

Joe Rogan blames possibly the worst fight of 2026 on the UFC matchmakers.On Saturday night, Michael “Venom” Page eked out a decision win over Sam Patterson at UFC London, in one of the worst fights of the year.
