Bitcoin’s price swung before settling largely unmoved over a 24-hour period after the Federal Reserve hiked interest rates — as expected — for the first time since 2023.  The leading cryptocurrency was recently priced at nearly $75,813 after dropping as low as $75,355 in the hour after the U.S. central bank gave its decision to increase the benchmark federal funds rate to a range of 3.75% to 4%.  Over a seven-day period, the coin is down nearly 4%.  Traders had bet there was a more than 90% chance that the Fed would raise interest rates ahead of its September meeting.…

A new analysis led by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) suggests that liquid nitrogen may be moving upward through cracks and reaching the surface of Pluto near the northern edge of Sputnik Planitia, the enormous heart-shaped glacier that dominates part of the dwarf planet. The findings provide the first evidence that liquid has flowed on Pluto in relatively recent times. The research is based on observations from NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft and was led by SwRI Associate Vice President Dr. Alan Stern, principal investigator of the New Horizons mission. “Pluto never stops surprising us,” Lead Author Stern said, “and this new…

It’s been three weeks since the government advisory urging us to start stockpiling in case of emergency – how’s your prep coming along? The Prepare campaign, backed by Wes Streeting, who one imagines gliding through the apocalypse, quiff undisturbed, listed nine essential items, among them wet wipes, first-aid kits and batteries. The World Health Organization, meanwhile, suggests budgeting for 15 litres of water per person per day, so a family of four will need to store upwards of 180 litres to cover the recommended period of three days. The chances of this actually happening seem to me, intuitively, to be…

Rating: Context Kraft faced a charge of solicting prostitution in Florida, but the case was ultimately dropped as it hinged on video that was secretly recorded. Kraft’s name also appears in the Epstein files multiple times, but they do not connect Kraft to Epstein’s crimes and he has not been accused of any involvement in those crimes. After rapper Macklemore…

ROSTOCK, Germany — Manuela Schwesig, a popular center-left politician, is within striking distance of stopping the far-right’s advance in the former East Germany. Her success is coming, however, at a steep price for embattled Chancellor Friedrich Merz and the ailing national coalition her party helps sustain. Ahead of an election in the northeastern state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania on Sunday, Schwesig, the sitting premier of the state and the lead candidate for the left-leaning Social Democratic Party (SPD), has narrowed the far-right Alternative for Germany’s lead to just a few percentage points in some polls. It’s emblematic of just how far mainstream…

It has also introduced the option for AI coaching. There are usually Noom free trials available, depending on which Noom Weight or Noom Med plan you choose, and a Noom promo code can help offset the cost as well. If…

OpenAI has released a new framework for tracking, investigating, and disclosing misalignment in its own models. The OpenAI team announced it on X alongside 6 detailed incident reports. The framework sets criteria and deadlines for public disclosure. It applies even when OpenAI has not fully explained or mitigated the behavior. Why OpenAI Built It OpenAI’s past misalignment disclosures were ad hoc and less frequent than ideal. Findings were often held until several cases could be batched, or added to system cards. Earlier examples include its work on scheming and emergent misalignment. The research team argues alignment and monitoring are not…
