What is a large language model?

Coastal barriers may fail

In Puerto San Carlos, residents feared that high tides and pounding waves could overwhelm earthen flood barriers, prompting some families to travel about 37 miles to shelters.

Roads could cut off care

San Juanico residents worry that washed-out roads could isolate the small fishing community from medical facilities during emergencies.

Hawaii still faces flooding

Nolo’s outer rain bands could drop up to 20 inches of rain on parts of the Big Island, while more than 10,000 Maui households and businesses remained without power.

The arrests began with vehicles

Police launched the operation after three suspicious vehicles were seen moving toward the base, leading to evacuations and a large emergency response.

Bail comes with restrictions

Counterterrorism officials said the men face strict limits on their movements and contact with other people, even though they have not been kept in custody.

Iran connection remains unproven

Investigators are considering whether foreign proxies could be involved, but Iran has rejected claims that it had any role in the arrests.

Iran wants quick relief

Tehran's proposal would reopen the strait within seven days if the United States lifted its port blockade, released frozen assets and eased oil sanctions.

Nuclear inspections remain central

U.S. negotiators are seeking Iranian concessions on its nuclear program, including permission for international inspectors to enter the country.

Another waterway is under pressure

Iran-backed Houthi rebels near Yemen's Bab el-Mandeb Strait have added risks at the southern entrance to the Red Sea and increased pressure on energy markets.

The target covers vehicle fleets

CAFE standards measure an automaker’s average across its vehicles, so companies can balance less-efficient models with more-efficient ones.

Price savings remain disputed

The Transportation Department estimates $1,300 lower upfront costs per new vehicle, but the average new car already cost $50,089 in August and experts disagree about whether buyers will see savings.

Fuel use could rise

The Transportation Department says the rule would reduce annual U.S. oil consumption in 2050 by about 1.3 billion barrels from 2024 levels, compared with the larger reductions projected under the earlier standards.

Millions of researchers could follow

Once AI reaches expert-level research abilities, one developer could potentially support an AI workforce comparable to millions of top human researchers.

Several brakes may remain

Computing limits, difficulties automating every task, weaker gains from scaling, and lengthy training runs could all slow recursive self-improvement.

Oversight is still limited

The authors propose mandatory incident reports, independent evaluators, safety testing, and mechanisms for pausing certain AI work.

Growth reached major metros

The researchers estimate the surge added about 1.6 million jobs across the major metropolitan areas studied and lifted the average metro area's GDP by 1.5%.

Workers often complemented each other

Immigrants and native-born workers may have filled connected roles rather than competing for identical jobs, helping businesses operate more efficiently during labor shortages in construction, hospitality and other industries.

Housing supply lagged demand

Many migrants initially relied on shelters, emergency housing or relatives and friends, but the added population still put pressure on a limited housing supply.

Documents share one workspace

Word, Excel, and PowerPoint work inside Home, with Copilot drawing context from more than 20 million semantic models built in Power BI.

Coding needs no syntax

People can describe an app, tracker, or dashboard in plain language, using technology related to GitHub Copilot that can run within a company’s own systems.

AI spending gets guardrails

Administrators can set limits, approve extra credits, and control model access, while agent features such as Code, Cowork, and Autopilot use usage-based billing.

Legitimate tools can be weaponized

The attackers modified ScreenConnect, a real remote-support program, so it accepted unattended connections while hiding its usual warnings and tray icon.

Download counts mislead

The 291 GitHub downloads may include researchers, automated sandboxes, and people who stopped the attack before meaningful harm occurred.

Fake apps exploit a gap

Because the impersonated cloud platforms do not normally provide desktop clients, victims had no genuine app to compare with the counterfeit version.

The deal uses AMD shares

Because it is an all-stock deal, World Labs owners are being paid with AMD shares rather than a stated cash payment.

World Labs already has a product

Its Marble model, launched in 2025, turns prompts into interactive 3D worlds rather than only generating text or images.

The startup rose quickly

World Labs launched in 2024 and reached a $1 billion valuation within months, before being acquired for about $8.2 billion.

A serving is smaller

One-third of a medium avocado provides about 3 grams of fiber, 7 grams of fat and 1 gram of protein.

Pair it with protein

Adding an egg, beans or hemp seeds to avocado toast can make the meal more nutritionally complete, especially with whole-grain bread.

Vary your fat sources

Nuts, seeds, nut butters, fatty fish and healthy cooking oils can provide other forms of beneficial unsaturated fat.

Several cheese types are included

The recall covers medium and sharp cheddar, jalapeño jack, Monterey jack, and five-pound loaves sold to food-service customers.

Some illnesses became severe

Eight people were hospitalized, including three who developed hemolytic uremic syndrome, a dangerous complication that can cause kidney failure.

Cases may be undercounted

The CDC says the total could rise because people who recover without medical care may not be tested or counted, and outbreak links can take three to four weeks to confirm.

Paperwork may become a hurdle

People could have to document their work or other qualifying activities, making compliance an important part of keeping coverage.

Health needs vary widely

Patients and caregivers may face medical or family responsibilities that make standard work expectations difficult to meet.

Coverage effects remain unclear

The article highlights concern about the changes but does not specify which people will be affected or how the requirements will be enforced.

Two infections dominate estimates

Helicobacter pylori and HPV together accounted for more than an estimated 1.5 million infection-linked cancer cases.

HPV vaccine prevents six cancers

The HPV vaccine can prevent six different cancers, including cervical, throat and anal cancers.

Access changes the burden

Sub-Saharan Africa has higher rates of infection-linked cancers partly because cervical cancer screening programs and other health investments are less available.

The launch began in Texas

Starship lifted off from SpaceX’s Starbase in Boca Chica at 8:49 a.m. Eastern time.

Engine trouble struck during ascent

The loss of an engine happened while the rocket was climbing, creating the problem that shortened the mission.

The rocket set a size record

The article describes Starship as the tallest and most powerful rocket ever built.

The signal needed careful testing

The team found the hydrogen glow in data from 94 nights in 2019 and tested it extensively to rule out noise from technology, the instrument and the wider universe.

Only some hydrogen was neutral

The measurement suggests roughly 2% of the hydrogen was in neutral atomic form at that time, a result broadly consistent with other measurements.

The method reveals cosmic structure

Because hydrogen traces how matter clusters, CHIME's data can also help scientists study how galaxies form and change, not just the expansion of the universe.

Chicago won by 20 points

The final score means the Bears scored three times as many points as the Eagles, 27 to 7.

Keenum was deep on the depth chart

Being listed as the third-string quarterback means he was not expected to be the team’s regular starter.

The Eagles scored only seven

Philadelphia’s seven points show that Chicago’s result was also driven by limiting the Eagles’ offense.

The House faces a deadline

If the bill does not pass before the current Congress ends, lawmakers would have to restart the entire process.

Payments could more than double

The amount schools may directly pay athletes would rise from roughly $21.5 million this year to about $49 million, including $5 million reserved for non-revenue and Olympic sports.

Realignment rules have an expiration

Schools switching between Power 4 conferences would face a three-year wait, but that restriction is scheduled to disappear at the end of 2031 as major television deals begin expiring.

Injuries limited his chances

McCarthy made only 10 starts in more than two seasons and completed 57.6% of his passes for 1,632 yards, 11 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.

Winston keeps the job

The trade does not immediately change the depth chart because Winston will start after leading New York to a 12-7 win over Tennessee.

His market value collapsed

McCarthy went from a No. 10 overall selection two years ago to costing only a fifth-round pick after falling to third string behind Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz in Minnesota.

Several worlds are joining forces

The film includes the Avengers, Wakandans, Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four, and original X-Men from different universes.

The script was still evolving

The Russos said filming began without a finished script because they shape scenes through rehearsals and what actors bring to their roles.

The cast list remains incomplete

Anthony Russo said some actors and characters involved in Doomsday have not yet been publicly announced.

It ranks among Disney+’s biggest premieres

Disney says the film is one of the service’s top 10 theatrical movie premieres worldwide to date.

Earlier promotion boosted the series

The franchise gained 168 million viewing hours after the movie’s teaser trailer was released.

The brand reaches far beyond films

Toy Story produces more than $1 billion in annual global retail sales and appears across Disney parks, cruise ships, hotels and attractions.

He played Belding across series

Haskins appeared in nearly 90 episodes of the original show and reprised the role in several related productions.

The character had a catchphrase

Mr. Belding often tried to stop student mischief by saying, “Hey, hey, hey, what is going on here?”

Fans knew his personal side

He was a regular at Burbank’s Dimples Karaoke, where he sang, met fans and took selfies.

Some rooms have specific legends

At The Stanley Hotel, guests can choose among 13 rooms considered especially haunted, including Room 217, which inspired The Shining.

Their histories shape the hauntings

The Bourbon Orleans Hotel's reported ghosts reflect the building's changing roles as a ballroom, school, orphanage, convent and Civil War hospital.

Famous guests fuel celebrity sightings

At The Hollywood Roosevelt, reports of Marilyn Monroe and a little girl in a blue dress connect the hotel's supernatural lore to its show-business history.

Staff shortages slowed handling

Flooded roads kept some Thai Airways ground-handling employees from reaching the airport, which contributed to delays and a buildup of unprocessed baggage.

Bangkok took the biggest hit

Rangsit University estimated Bangkok’s losses at 10.6 billion baht, more than 40% of the 25.3 billion baht estimated nationwide.

Both airports remained open

Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang continued operating even as flooding disrupted their normal operations.

Milestones add automatic rewards

Members receive $50 in Bilt Cash each time they earn 25,000 qualifying Bilt Points toward elite status in a calendar year.

Unused value mostly expires

Bilt Cash expires at the end of each calendar year, although up to $100 of unused cash can roll into the next year.

Redemptions come with limits

Monthly, twice-yearly and yearly caps apply to many choices, such as Lyft credits, hotel bookings, Equinox services and airport rides.

Courts had already blocked it

Eight courts preliminarily stopped the rule in 2024, and two courts vacated it in early 2025, so the department says it had not enforced the rule for more than a year and a half.

The repeal skips public comments

The department says seeking comments would delay bringing its regulations in line with court decisions, while critics argue the public should still have a chance to weigh in.

Schools return to 2020 rules

The administration says it has been enforcing the first Trump administration’s rule, which opponents say provides weaker protections for survivors of sexual harassment and assault.

Fixed costs remain stubborn

Districts still must pay for staff, building maintenance and services such as nursing and transportation even when classrooms have fewer students.

States are choosing different approaches

Vermont stopped short of forcing mergers but will require regional committees to consider them as the state changes its school funding rules.

Closures affect thousands locally

Austin’s approved plan will close or consolidate 10 schools and affect nearly 3,800 students during the 2026-27 school year.

Students’ chats may be reviewed

Dayton told families and students that chat logs could be viewed by school employees, an outside evaluator and SchoolAI staff.

The pilot costs tens of thousands

Dayton paid $72,600 for several AI tools last school year and renewed the contract for $78,650 this year.

Some districts are slowing down

Wichita Public Schools has avoided a broad rollout of student-facing AI, instead teaching younger students about the technology and restricting older students’ access.

Protein may curb some cravings

Protein can help when cravings are linked to blood sugar changes, but it will not necessarily address emotional eating, restrictive diets, hormones, or nutrient deficiencies.

Breakfast changes the comparison

Someone replacing black coffee with protein coffee may feel more energetic because they are adding calories and protein, while someone already eating a protein-rich breakfast may notice little difference.

Exercise still matters for muscles

Protein can support muscle repair and growth, but building strength also requires resistance exercise and an otherwise balanced eating pattern.

Electric models adjust quickly

The Sabine desk moves from 29.5 to 47 inches using an integrated control panel, while the Branch model uses a three-stage motorized lift.

Converters cost less space

The Symple Stuff converter sits on top of an existing desk, needs no assembly, and has room for a monitor and keyboard.

Manual options offer character

The Carolina Forge model uses a crank instead of a motor and adjusts between 30 and 42 inches in a vintage-style frame.

Box breathing uses four equal steps

Breathe in for about four seconds, hold for four, breathe out for four, then hold empty for four before repeating.

Posture supports fuller breaths

Sitting tall or standing straight gives the lungs more room to expand while practicing structured breathing.

The diaphragm shifts breathing lower

During diaphragmatic breathing, the belly rises on the inhale and moves inward on the exhale while the upper chest stays mostly still.
