Whether you’re being deployed or will be at home for some time, maintaining your car is important. One of the most important aspects of car maintenance goes beyond changing its oil or rotating the tires; It also includes recognizing signs of trouble early. This means paying attention to unusual noises, dashboard warning lights, and the way your car drives. If you ignore these issues, they won’t go away and will likely get worse, especially if your car often sits in a garage or on base while you’re gone. Small leaks can turn into big ones over time and worn parts…

Sean Strickland has criticized what he described as the UFC’s “predatory” compensation structure, saying fighters early in their careers can be left with little after paying managers, taxes and training costs. His comments frame short-notice bouts as one of the few ways athletes can secure a sizeable immediate increase in pay. “When you’re a fighter you’re so poor… 20 grand for a fight, so you pay off your manager, you pay off your taxes, and if you lose you really only get like 8-7 grand,” Strickland said. Speaking on the Shawn Ryan Show after reclaiming the UFC middleweight title against…

The National Institute of Standards and Technology launched a new program on Monday granting researchers access to an isolated testbed environment to safely evaluate artificial intelligence models against various commands. The AI Technology Evaluation, or AITE, is a voluntary testing vehicle focused on AI model safety analysis. It provides blind data for models to process when completing tasks to gain objective insights and conduct evaluations of model capabilities. Notably, the evaluation data is not intended to serve as training data for the models.Initially, AITE will focus on conducting image analysis tasks using large vision language models across three domains: quantum science,…

While lawmakers are debating what an appropriate regulatory framework for artificial intelligence should be, experts who spoke at a panel on Monday noted that federal employees have been using the technology for years to develop all sorts of regulations. Cary Coglianese, a regulation professor at the University of Pennsylvania, said that agencies, for example, have been using AI to analyze thousands of public comments that some proposed rules receive. “Back in the day, contractors would literally photocopy comments, clip them out and sort them in different categories — and do what essentially natural language processing tools can do now so quickly and…

Xi Jinping has always told the world he wanted to annex Taiwan peacefully. He lied. Now, in late 2027, after a failed invasion, he stands before the Politburo Standing Committee and says words no Chinese Communist Party general secretary has ever uttered about a war he launched: unification will not come by force this year. He calls it a pause. His generals call it something else, quietly, of course. For now. The scenario follows a pattern old enough to have broken Napoleon in Spain and the Soviets in Afghanistan, and, as of this writing, continues to grind down Vladimir Putin…
