Lori Greiner, famous for her investments in products like Scrub Daddy and Squatty Potty, posted a video on her Instagram, urging users to block Google's AI in their accounts. 'Google doesn't want you to know this, but they've been allowing AI to scan every single one of your emails,' she said, adding that it includes'financial documents, tax information and personal conversations.'
UAE reports missile and drone strikes incoming from Iran
The United Arab Emirates has said its air defences are engaging with missile attacks and incoming drones from Iran. The UAE Ministry of Defense said late on Monday afternoon that it was intercepting ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones across the country. The emirate of Fujairah said that an Iranian drone sparked a fire at an oil facility. Civil defence teams were deployed immediately to contain the blaze, the Fujairah Media office said in a statement. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
What is the Ukrainian anti-drone system Sky Map being used in the Gulf?
How well do you know Iran? What is the Ukrainian anti-drone system Sky Map being used in the Gulf? Cheap, mass-produced one-way drones have played a major role in the conflict between the United States, Israel and Iran since the first attacks on Tehran on February 28. As Iran uses these drones to target energy facilities, airbases and other strategic sites across the Gulf and Israel, the US and Israel use expensive interceptor missiles for defence. To counter the drone threat, Gulf states and their US partners have turned to Ukrainian-made anti-drone technology, battle-tested against Russian drone attacks.
Ukrainian drone hits upmarket Moscow high-rise ahead of Victory Day celebrations
A Ukrainian drone hit an upmarket residential high-rise in Moscow in the early hours of Monday, resulting in no casualties but causing visible damage to the faรงade of the building. It was the third night in a row that the Russian capital came under attack from drones, days before Russia holds a scaled-back 9 May parade to mark the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany. An unverified video circulating on social media showed firemen entering a heavily damaged flat covered in dust and rubble and with blown-out windows, while another showed drone debris strewn across the street below. Two other drones were intercepted, Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said. Vnukovo and Domodedovo international airports suspended operations overnight.
Dating Is a Rich Person's Game Now
Dating Is a Rich Person's Game Now People actually can't afford to date anymore. Ask just about anyone what's wrong with modern dating and they will likely tell you the same thing: The apps suck. They're built on a pay-to-win model. Fewer people are finding quality partners. Some studies have even suggested that increased time on them leads to higher depression and anxiety while also contributing to loneliness among men .
Japanese scientists push for AI use in medical research and diagnoses
A Maholo humanoid robot carries out a series of tasks at the Institute of Science Tokyo's Robotics Innovation Center, during the center's opening last month. Artificial intelligence is transforming the way we work across industries. Two recent developments in Japan show how technology could help the nation cope with a shortage of talent in the fields of science and medical research. Some researchers have launched an effort to deploy AI-powered robots to carry out complex wet-lab experiments, which could free staff from time-consuming, repetitive work. In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.
GameStop offers to buy eBay for 56bn
Video game retail chain GamesStop confirmed to the BBC on Sunday that it is making a $56bn (ยฃ41bn) unsolicited takeover offer for e-commerce firm eBay. GameStop's chief executive Ryan Cohen told the Wall Street Journal that he sees potential to make eBay a much bigger rival to Amazon, worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Cohen said his company has built a stake of around 5% in eBay and that the cash and stock takeover offer would value eBay at $125 a share, around 20% higher than its closing price on Friday. The BBC has contacted eBay for comment. Cohen also said that GameStop has a commitment letter from TD Bank to provide around $20bn in debt to help finance the deal. There is nobody who is more qualified, based on my experience, to run the eBay business, added Cohen, who is also the co-founder of online pet-products retailer Chewy.
Information-geometric adaptive sampling for graph diffusion
Lu, Yuhui, Liu, Wenjing, Zhan, Kun
Standard diffusion models for graph generation typically rely on uniform time-stepping, an approach that overlooks the non-homogeneous dynamics of distributional evolution on complex manifolds. In this paper, we present an information-geometric framework that reinterprets the diffusion sampling trajectory as a parametric curve on a Riemannian manifold. Our key observation is that the Fisher-Rao metric provides a principled measure of the intrinsic distance. By analyzing this metric, we derive the Drift Variation Score (DVS), a geometry-aware indicator that quantifies the instantaneous rate of distributional change. Unlike prior heuristic-based adaptive samplers, our DVS solver enforces a constant informational speed on the statistical manifold, automatically maintaining a uniform rate of distributional change along the sampling trajectory. This equal arc-length strategy ensures that each discretization step contributes equally to the information speed. Theoretical analysis verifies that DVS characterizes the local stiffness of the sampling dynamics in the Fisher-Rao sense. Experimental results on molecule and social network generation show that DVS significantly improves structural fidelity and sampling efficiency. Code is at https://github.com/kunzhan/DVS
Optimal Spatio-Temporal Decoupling for Bayesian Conformal Prediction
Online Conformal Prediction (CP) struggles to balance temporal adaptability and structural stability. Feedback-driven methods (e.g., Adaptive Conformal Inference (ACI)) suffer from systemic marginal under-coverage and high interval variance during abrupt shifts, while temporally discounted Bayesian CP suffers from severe structural lag and uncalibrated interval bloat. We propose State-Adaptive Bayesian Conformal Prediction (SA-BCP) to achieve optimal spatio-temporal decoupling. By gating long-term temporal inertia with spatial kernel-density evidence, SA-BCP proactively expands intervals for recognized historical regimes while maintaining tight efficiency during stable states. We rigorously prove this mechanism's optimality, identifying a minimax bias-variance tradeoff governed by an evidence threshold $K$. Extensive benchmarks on volatile financial datasets (2016--2026), including AMD, Gold, and GBP/USD, demonstrate that SA-BCP consistently minimizes the strictly proper Winkler score across diverse confidence levels. Specifically, SA-BCP resolves the systematic under-coverage inherent to ACI variants while simultaneously reducing the uncalibrated interval bloat of Bayesian CP by 10\% to 37\% under high-confidence requests. By elegantly navigating this tradeoff, SA-BCP achieves an optimal balance between conditional reliability and predictive efficiency.
