Olympic gold medalists rip Newsom for California's trans athlete situation ahead of protested track meet
Another LIV golfer remains committed to staying put: 'I have full faith in the future of LIV' Megan Rapinoe, in a shock to no one, backs Angel Reese skipping interviews as'taking power back' White House calls out Newsom as California girls' track and field controversy reignites Here's why the coaches association's 24-team College Football Playoff could ruin the sport Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown tells ESPN's Stephen A Smith to'be quiet and retire' President Trump on $1,000 World Cup ticket prices: 'I wouldn't pay it either, to be honest' Pirates vs. Diamondbacks betting preview targets the under as both offenses go cold in series Former LSU coach Brian Kelly uses AI to prepare for job interviews, proving he's just like the rest of us Political violence should'never be normalized': Former California GOP chairwoman UAE says air defenses are active after US conducts'self-defense' strikes in Iran Bob Lazar said S4 was the'most unpleasant place' to be, documentary director recalls Former U.S. attorney explains why he thinks Tyler Robinson's defense team is playing the long game Greg Gutfeld: Dems can't admit they have a problem Mark Hamill is a'miserable human being': Sage Steele AOC is in'favor' of'robbing' the American people: Tiffany Smiley Iran's playbook is to talk and then fight, Lt Gen Keith Kellogg says Watters: If Iran doesn't sign this fast, the US will be a lot more violent OutKick Olympic gold medalists rip Newsom for California's trans athlete situation ahead of protested track meet California girls' track and field student-athletes protest trans inclusion ahead of state meet California high school student-athletes Olivia Viola and Reese Hogan speak at a rally ahead of a major track and field event to oppose trans athletes in their sports. Three-time Olympic women's gold medalists Nancy Hogshead and Kaillie Humphries have spoken out on the growing girls' track and field controversy in California, as a trans athlete is looking to defend a pair of state titles. Hogshead spoke out against California Gov. Gavin Newsom for his state's policies that continue to allow trans athletes in women's sports. The medalist responded to a statement from a source within Newsom's office on the issue that stated, The Governor has said discussions on this issue should be guided by fairness, dignity, and respect. Governor Newsom seems to exclude girls from his own standard of'fairness, dignity and respect.'
Matthew Tkachuk continues to chase Team USA Hockey dominance as 2026 IIHF World Championship begins

WHO doesn't expect large Hantavirus outbreak US blockade keeps stranglehold on Iran's economy The Panthers star told Pat McAfee the U.S. is heading to Switzerland to win, not for a vacation If anyone thought Team USA was satisfied with Olympic gold and ready to coast through the rest of the international hockey calendar, Matthew Tkachuk has a message. The Florida Panthers star joined The Pat McAfee Show on Thursday and discussed his plan to play for Team USA at the 2026 IIHF World Championship in Switzerland. USA Hockey's preliminary roster, announced May 7, includes Tkachuk for the first time, since the Panthers failed to reach the NHL playoffs this season. The tournament begins May 15 in Zurich and Fribourg, and the Americans are trying to win back-to-back gold medals at the event for the first time ever. Tkachuk made his mindset pretty clear.
Appendix AVariational Paragraph Embedder A.1 Selection of substitution rate p
Figure 4: Impact of the proportion of injected noise for learning Paragraph Embeddings on XSum dataset. PPLint and the PPL of the generation obtained from training PLANNER on the corresponding z at different noise level. We observed when the value of p is within (0, 0.7), there Performing a grid search on each task using diffusion models is an expensive process. However, it has been observed that an increase in the value of p leads to a deviation between the two. This could be attributed to a higher conversion error that occurs when p is excessively large. A.2 Selection of number of latent code k The parameter k determines the number of latent codes used to represent a paragraph and therefore controls the compression level. Latent codes with smaller values of k are easier to model using the diffusion model, but may struggle to accurately preserve all the information in the original text. Additionally, smaller values of k offer computational efficiency as the sequence length for the diffusion model is k. To determine the best set of latent codes, we conducted experiments using three different methods: 1) selecting the first k hidden vectors, 2) selecting the last k hidden vectors, and 3) selecting interleaving hidden vectors, one for every L k hidden vectors. The results of the ablation study are presented in Table 5. Based on our findings, we observed no significant difference among the different choices, so we opted for option 1). Furthermore, we discovered that increasing the value of k does not lead to a dramatic improvement in performance. To balance between efficiency and performance, in most of our study we only use k =16 Setup BLEU_clean BLEU_robust First k (k=16) 79.59 43.17 A.3 Reconstruction, denoising and interpolation examples In Table 6, we present examples that demonstrate the adeptness of the trained Variational Paragraph Embedder in providing clean and denoised reconstructions. Additionally, we showcase interpolation results (Table 7, 8) derived from two random sentences in the hotel review dataset. The interpolated paragraph is usually coherent and incorporates inputs from both sentences, characterizing the distributional smoothness of the latent space.

Best Home Gym Setup (2026): Adjustable Weights, Resistance Bands, and More
Lifting weights can keep you carrying groceries and riding bikes even as you get older. To join or not to join a gym: That is the question. If you opt out of building a home gym, you can join a club and have access to more weights and machines. Friends and classes motivate you to keep coming, and that monthly bill keeps you disciplined. On the other hand, gym memberships are steep, workouts can get hijacked by bullies, and going to the gym is an additional commute.
No Free Lunch in LLM Watermarking: Trade-offs in Watermarking Design Choices
Advances in generative models have made it possible for AI-generated text, code, and images to mirror human-generated content in many applications. W atermark-ing, a technique that aims to embed information in the output of a model to verify its source, is useful for mitigating the misuse of such AI-generated content. However, we show that common design choices in LLM watermarking schemes make the resulting systems surprisingly susceptible to attack--leading to fundamental trade-offs in robustness, utility, and usability. To navigate these trade-offs, we rigorously study a set of simple yet effective attacks on common watermarking systems, and propose guidelines and defenses for LLM watermarking in practice.
Burnt Hair and Soft Power: A Night Out With Evie Magazine
Evie is a longtime favorite of far-right. At its very first live event, the strength of the publication's politics was in the pretense that it doesn't have any. Just after 8:00 pm on Sunday night, Evie Magazine's first live event was finally getting started. The women's magazine, which was founded in 2019 and once described itself as a " conservative Cosmo," welcomed eager fans to celebrate the publication, generally, and its new issue, specifically, during New York Fashion Week at the Standard Hotel's Boom in Chelsea. Guests lined up outside, hugging fur coats around formal dresses, as hosts scanned a list for their names. One blonde woman begged for access to the VIP section; an event planner ran downstairs to tell her coworkers that someone's hair had caught on fire.
The Secret Life of a Winter Olympics Drone
You have a very important role! As a first-person-view camera drone, you soar high above the action at the Milan Cortina Games, capturing aerial footage of Olympic athletes as they fly through the snow and slide down the ice. You will zoom around at speeds of up to 75 miles per hour, capturing immersive, verité-style footage that makes these inherently exciting sports feel even more exciting. You make the luge come alive! Here the head of Olympic Broadcasting Services, @YiannisExarchos takes us through the journey of the drone at the fastest winter sport, luge.
