For Americans, the pressing question may soon shift from geopolitics to personal preparedness, including where the nearest fallout shelter is located and how to protect themselves if tensions escalate further. There is currently no public list of active shelters available for everyday Americans, since most are defunct or privately owned. But survival expert and Air Force veteran Sean Gold has built his own fallout shelter map, revealing that the vast majority of these radiation bunkers are scattered throughout America's largest cities. The map can be found on his survival guide website, TruePrepper .

Her husband wanted to use ChatGPT to create sustainable housing. Then it took over his life. Kate Fox says Joe Ceccanti was the'most hopeful person' before he started spending 12 hours a day with a chatbot On 7 August, Kate Fox received a phone call that upended her life. A medical examiner said that her husband, Joe Ceccanti - who had been missing for several hours - had jumped from a railway overpass and died. Ceccanti had no history of depression, she said, nor was he suicidal - he was the "most hopeful person" she had ever known. In fact, according to the witness accounts shared with Fox later, just before Ceccanti jumped, he smiled and yelled: "I'm great!" to the rail yard attendants below when they asked him if he was OK.

If you care about good air, it's time for a dehumidifier. These are the best ones we've tested for everything from basements to drying laundry. All products featured on WIRED are independently selected by our editors. However, we may receive compensation from retailers and/or from purchases of products through these links. Even though I've spent the better part of my life living in humid New York City, I never owned a dehumidifier. I never had a basement, and I was ignorant of the benefits of a portable dehumidifier. I've been lucky in that I haven't had or at least known about a mold issue where I live.

Interaction between learner and feedback-giver has come into focus recently for post-training of Large Language Models (LLMs), through the use of reward models that judge the appropriateness of a model's response. In this paper, we investigate whether Dialogue Games -- goal-directed and rule-governed activities driven predominantly by verbal actions -- can also serve as a source of feedback signals for learning. We introduce Playpen, an environment for off- and online learning through Dialogue Game self-play, and investigate a representative set of post-training methods: supervised fine-tuning; direct alignment (DPO); and reinforcement learning with GRPO. We experiment with post-training a small LLM (Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct), evaluating performance on unseen instances of training games as well as unseen games, and on standard benchmarks. We find that imitation learning through SFT improves performance on unseen instances, but negatively impacts other skills, while interactive learning with GRPO shows balanced improvements without loss of skills. We release the framework and the baseline training setups to foster research in the promising new direction of learning in (synthetic) interaction.

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. For over a century, simple lactic acid bacteria has been one of the most reliable additives to keep food and drinks safe for over a century. It goes in butter, cheese, and other dairy products to help extend their shelf life. Now, a team in Denmark has uncovered some of the preservation aid's earliest examples. Their findings, published in the, only come after a chance discovery hidden away in the bowels of a university basement.

I'm a creature of habit, and nothing gets my endorphins flowing like daily smart home routines that run like clockwork. Over the years, I've set up an elaborate array of smart automations that control my lights, switch fans on and off, take charge of my robot vacuums, and warn me about rogue water leaks (the latter of which has yet to happen, thankfully). Indeed, I depend on these eight smart routines for keeping our household perfectly lit, clean, and protected from water damage and backyard threats. Here's a rundown on the smart automations that I absolutely, positively depend on. While they're probably not perfect for you, they might spark some ideas for automating your own household.

A unique experimental typewriter stored in a New York state basement for decades turned out to be a one-of-a-kind piece of communications history. According to an announcement from Stanford University, historians and one unsuspecting granddaughter have rediscovered the long-missing MingKwai machine. Earlier this year, Jennifer Felix and her husband were working to clean out her recently deceased grandfather's home when they came across a large, extremely heavy typewriting device. However, instead of a more traditional setup the contraption featured five rows of keys topped with Chinese characters. After reaching out for help online, Felix realized her grandfather had been the owner of the MingKwai--one man's innovative, if ultimately doomed, attempt to incorporate the Chinese language onto a mechanical typewriter.

If you grew up obsessed with gaming, them you were probably told by various relatives that you could never make a living playing video games all day. Yet while that might once have been true, there is now a growing industry of professional gamers for hire making serious money with their hard-earned skills. Marko Uslinkovski is a 36-year-old professional gamer from North Macedonia who makes a living beating games for people who don't have time to do it themselves. With a team of 50 'boosters' Marko told MailOnline his company, Captain Carry, can turnover between 30,000 to 50,000 in a good month. Marko told MailOnline: 'These new games are extremely difficult, so we're like the last ditch effort for people that are borderline giving up.'

Fears the Pentagon has been'building killer robots in the basement' may have led to stricter AI rules that mandated all systems must be approved before deployment. The Department of Defense (DoD) recently updated its AI rules among'a lot of confusion about' how it plans to use self-decision-making machines on the battlefield, according to the deputy assistant defense secretary. Michael Horowitz explained at an event this month that the'directive does not prohibit the development of any systems,' but will'make clear what is and isn't allowed' and uphold a'commitment to responsible behavior,' as it develops lethal autonomous systems. While the Pentagon believes the changes should ease the public's minds, some have said they are not'convinced' by the efforts. Fears the Pentagon has been'building killer robots in the basement' may have led to stricter AI rules that mandated all systems must be approved before deployment. News of the update to the Pentagon's 2012 'Autonomy in Weapon Systems,' has sparked a debate online with many people saying'If the Pentagon says they're not doing it, they're doing it.'
