Starmer could have scrapped child benefit cap last year - why did he wait? I can't remember when I last heard Sir Keir Starmer sounding so passionate. The prime minister's critics regularly lambast him for what they see as robotic or emotion-free communication, but you could not accuse him of that as we spoke on a post-Budget visit to a community centre in Rugby, Warwickshire. I could see it in his eyes and hear it in his tone. I have repeatedly said that I want my government to drive down child poverty.

He's stepping onto a grid dominated for decades by European drivers and teams. And his rise comes at a moment when Arab nations are reshaping the sport. Samantha Johnson breaks down what Hadjar represents, on the grid and off it. Why does Israel play in European Football? What's behind bans on away fans?

Starting on November 27, a global team of scientists with the International Asteroid Warning Network (IAWN) will kick off a two-month campaign to track the comet as it nears our planet . 'While it poses no threat, comet 3I/ATLAS presents a great opportunity for the IAWN community to perform an observing exercise due to its prolonged observability from Earth and high interest to the scientific community,' the UN explains on its website. 'This 3I/ATLAS campaign is the 8th IAWN observing exercise since 2017 - IAWN holds these exercises roughly once a year.' While 3I/ATLAS was only discovered in July 2025, the UN explained that this'comet campaign' has long been planned.

They might be the smallest falcon, but American kestrels still intimidate other birds. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. No one wants poop on their cherries . Farmers in northern Michigan could get some help on this fecal matter from some feathered allies. Small falcons called the American kestrel help deter smaller birds that like to snack on the fruit when it is growing.

Australia clamps downs on'nudify' sites used for AI-generated child abuse Internet users in Australia have been blocked from accessing several websites that used artificial intelligence to create child sexual exploitation material, the country's internet regulator has announced. The three "nudify" sites withdrew from Australia following an official warning, eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant said on Thursday. Grant said such "nudify" services, which allow users to make images of real people appear naked using AI, have had a "devastating" effect in Australian schools. "We took enforcement action in September because this provider failed to put in safeguards to prevent its services being used to create child sexual exploitation material and were even marketing features like undressing'any girl,' and with options for'schoolgirl' image generation and features such as'sex mode,'" Grand said in a statement. The development comes after Grant's office issued a formal warning to the United Kingdom-based company behind the sites in September, threatening civil penalties of up to 49.5 million Australian dollars ($32.2m) if it did not introduce safeguards to prevent image-based abuse.

Post-Double-Lasso is becoming the most popular method for estimating linear regression models with many covariates when the purpose is to obtain an accurate estimate of a parameter of interest, such as an average treatment effect. However, this method can suffer from substantial omitted variable bias in finite sample. We propose a new method called Post-Double-Autometrics, which is based on Autometrics, and show that this method outperforms Post-Double-Lasso.

This work presents a review of attack methodologies targeting Pix, the instant payment system launched by the Central Bank of Brazil in 2020. The study aims to identify and classify the main types of fraud affecting users and financial institutions, highlighting the evolution and increasing sophistication of these techniques. The methodology combines a structured literature review with exploratory interviews conducted with professionals from the banking sector. The results show that fraud schemes have evolved from purely social engineering approaches to hybrid strategies that integrate human manipulation with technical exploitation. The study concludes that security measures must advance at the same pace as the growing complexity of attack methodologies, with particular emphasis on adaptive defenses and continuous user awareness.

Abstract: This paper introduces Paraconsistent-Lib, an open-source, easy-to-use Python library for building P AL2v algorithms in reasoning and decision-making systems. Paraconsistent-Lib is designed as a general-purpose library of P AL2v standard calculations, presenting three types of results: paraconsistent analysis in one of the 12 classical lattice P AL2v regions, paraconsistent analysis node (P AN) outputs, and a decision output. With Paraconsistent-Lib, well-known P AL2v algorithms such as Para-analyzer, ParaExtrCTX, P AL2v Filter, paraconsistent analysis network (P ANnet), and paraconsistent neural network (PNN) can be written in stand-alone or network form, reducing complexity, code size, and bugs, as two examples presented in this paper. Given its stable state, Paraconsistent-Lib is an active development to respond to user-required features and enhancements received on GitHub.Keywords: Paraconsistent-Lib, P AL2v, Python Library, Reasoning, Decision-Making1. IntroductionThe desire to create an automaton capable of imitating human behavior is long-standing.

Considering that Turing's original test was co-opted by Weizenbaum and that six of the most common criticisms of the Turing test are unfair to both Turing's argument and the historical development of AI. The Turing test has faced criticism for decades, most recently at the Royal Society event "Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the Turing Test." The question of the Turing test's significance has intensified with recent advances in large language model technology, which now enable machines to pass it. In this article, I address six of the most common criticisms of the Turing test: The Turing test encourages fooling people; Turing overestimated human intelligence, as people can be easily fooled (the ELIZA effect); The Turing test is not a good benchmark for AI; Turing's 1950 paper is not serious and/or has contradictions; Imitation should not be a goal for AI, and it is also harmful to society; Passing the Turing test teaches nothing about AI. All six criticisms largely derive from Joseph Weizenbaum's influential reinterpretation of the Turing test. The first four fail to withstand a close examination of the internal logic of Turing's 1950 paper, particularly when the paper is situated within its mid-twentieth-century context.

What is in the 28-point US plan for Ukraine? Why is Europe opposing Trump's peace plan? Is the fall of Pokrovsk inevitable? 'A corruption scandal may well end the Ukraine war' Russia says talks to end Ukraine war'serious' but rules out concessions Russia says the United States-brokered talks to end the war with Ukraine are "serious", but its officials caution that an agreement is a long way off and Moscow would offer no major concessions to Kyiv. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in televised comments on Wednesday that the negotiations were ongoing and "the process is serious."
