At its peak, our lunar satellite will appear eight per cent larger and 16 per cent brighter than usual. The phenomenon occurs because the moon's orbit is not perfectly circular around Earth, meaning at times it is slightly closer or slightly further away.
'The chilling effect': how fear of 'nudify' apps and AI deepfakes is keeping Indian women off the internet
A new report has found an increase in AI tools being used to create digitally manipulated images or videos of women in India.

But it appears a new study has caused the 48-year-old, who claims to be more than a decade younger biologically than his actual age, to rethink his stance on caffeine. In a new video, Johnson highlighted findings from Tulane University in Louisiana that showed coffee drinkers had a 16 percent lower risk of death from any cause and a 31 percent lower risk of cardiovascular disease compared to non-coffee drinkers.
'My skin was peeling' - the African women tricked into making Russian drones

Tesla says Musk should be paid 1tn - will shareholders agree?
It's not clear that everyone is singing from the same hymn sheet though, meaning the AGM in Austin, Texas is set to become a referendum on Musk himself, after a rightward political turn which has made him one of the most polarising chief executives in recent memory. Musk himself has taken to X - which he owns - to raise the stakes higher still, saying the fate of Tesla could affect the future of civilization. He's also used his social media megaphone to amplify some of the deal's high-profile backers, including Dell Technologies' Michael Dell, Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood, and his brother, Kimbal, who sits on the Tesla board. There is no one remotely close to my brother, Kimbal said, extolling his sibling's leadership qualities.

The King will present the 2025 Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering to Prof Li and six others during a ceremony at St James's Palace. Those honoured alongside her are Prof Yoshua Bengio, Dr Bill Dally, Dr Geoffrey Hinton, Prof John Hopfield, Nvidia founder Jensen Huang and Meta's Chief AI Scientist Dr Yann LeCun. They are being recognised for their contributions to the development of modern machine learning, a field that underpins the rapid advancement of AI. Who are the Godparents of AI? Dr Hinton, Prof Bengio and Yann LeCun, currently Chief AI Scientist at Meta have widely been recognised as the Godfathers of AI since they were jointly awarded the 2018 Turing Award.
Britain sliding 'into economic crisis' over 85bn sickness bill
The number of sick and disabled people out of work is putting the UK is at risk of an economic inactivity crisis that threatens the country's prosperity, according to a new report. There were 800,000 more people out of work now than in 2019 due to health conditions, costing employers ยฃ85bn a year, according to the review by former John Lewis boss Sir Charlie Mayfield. The problem could worsen without intervention, but Sir Charlie, who will lead a taskforce aimed at helping people return to work, said this was not inevitable. The move has been broadly welcomed, but some business groups said Labour's Employment Rights Bill included some disincentives to hiring people with existing illnesses. One in five working age people were out of work, and not seeking work, according to the report, which was commissioned by the Department for Work and Pensions by produced independently.
AI study gives insights into why super-recognisers excel at identifying faces
Research has suggested super-recognisers look at more areas across a face than typical people. Research has suggested super-recognisers look at more areas across a face than typical people. Research uses eye-tracking data to examine some people's extraordinary recognition ability They have been used in the search for the Salisbury novichok poisoners, finding murder suspects and even spotting sexual predators. Now, research has revealed fresh insights into why super-recognisers are so good at identifying faces. Previous research has suggested people with an extraordinary ability to recognise people look at more areas across a face than typical people.
Generalisation Bounds of Zero-Shot Economic Forecasting using Time Series Foundation Models

This study investigates zero-shot forecasting capabilities of Time Series Foundation Models (TSFMs) for macroeconomic indicators. We apply TSFMs to forecasting economic indicators under univariate conditions, bypassing the need for train bespoke econometric models using and extensive training datasets. Our experiments were conducted on a case study dataset, without additional customisation. We rigorously back-tested three state-of-the-art TSFMs (Chronos, TimeGPT and Moirai) under data-scarce conditions and structural breaks. Our results demonstrate that appropriately engineered TSFMs can internalise rich economic dynamics, accommodate regime shifts, and deliver well-behaved uncertainty estimates out of the box, while matching state-of-the-art multivariate models on this domain. Our findings suggest that, without any fine-tuning, TSFMs can match or exceed classical models during stable economic conditions. However, they are vulnerable to degradation in performances during periods of rapid shocks. The findings offer guidance to practitioners on when zero-shot deployments are viable for macroeconomic monitoring and strategic planning.
