One million sign petition to keep PC Harper's killers in jail

BBC News

One million sign petition to keep PC Harper's killers in jail A petition to block the early release of PC Andrew Harper's killers has been signed by more than one million people. The police officer, from Wallingford, Oxfordshire, died in 2019 when he was dragged by a car as three teenagers fled the scene of a quad bike theft in Berkshire. Jessie Cole and Albert Bowers were sentenced to 13 years for his manslaughter in 2020 but could be released next year under plans to tackle prison overcrowding. The prime minister is looking at ways to keep them in jail . Thames Valley Police (TVP) Federation acknowledged the important milestone the petition had reached without fanfare due to the seventh anniversary of the officer's death on Saturday.

New clues in hunt for Charlie Kirk's killer

BBC News

The FBI has released new footage showing the suspect in the killing of US activist Charlie Kirk running across a roof - from where the fatal shot was fired - before dropping to the ground and crossing a road. As the authorities continue their search, BBC Verify's Nick Beake has been looking at the footage and what we know about his escape. Watch: Key moments from RFK Jr's heated Senate hearing The US health secretary faced questions on Covid deaths and vaccines a week after firing the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The group said they are making their own list of Jeffrey Epstein's associates and called for the release of all files related to the investigation. The molten magma streamed down one of the world's most active volcanoes and put on another fiery show on the Island of Hawaii.


The Download: Google's AI energy expenditure, and handing over DNA data to the police

MIT Technology Review

Google has just released a report detailing how much energy its Gemini apps use for each query. In total, the median prompt--one that falls in the middle of the range of energy demand--consumes 0.24 watt-hours of electricity, the equivalent of running a standard microwave for about one second. The company also provided average estimates for the water consumption (five drops per query) and carbon emissions associated with a text prompt to Gemini. It's the most transparent estimate yet from a Big Tech company with a popular AI product, and the report includes detailed information about how the company calculated its final estimate. Earlier this year, MIT Technology Review published a comprehensive series on AI and energy, at which time none of the major AI companies would reveal their per-prompt energy usage.


Exploring In-Context Learning for Frame-Semantic Parsing

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Frame Semantic Parsing (FSP) entails identifying predicates and labeling their arguments according to Frame Semantics. This paper investigates the use of In-Context Learning (ICL) with Large Language Models (LLMs) to perform FSP without model fine-tuning. We propose a method that automatically generates task-specific prompts for the Frame Identification (FI) and Frame Semantic Role Labeling (FSRL) subtasks, relying solely on the FrameNet database. These prompts, constructed from frame definitions and annotated examples, are used to guide six different LLMs. Experiments are conducted on a subset of frames related to violent events. The method achieves competitive results, with F1 scores of 94.3% for FI and 77.4% for FSRL. The findings suggest that ICL offers a practical and effective alternative to traditional fine-tuning for domain-specific FSP tasks.


"Ballerina" Leaps Into John Wick's Bloody World

The New Yorker

It's been instructive to see "Ballerina," which opens this week, so soon after the new "Mission: Impossible" installment. In the latter, it's hard to top Tom Cruise's intrepid stunt work, which reaches its zenith in a pair of extended sequences (one in a submarine, the other on biplanes), but the story, involving a diabolical scheme using A.I. to commandeer and launch the world's nuclear weaponry, is a mere pretext. Going to "Mission: Impossible" for the story is like going to Casablanca for the waters. In contrast, "Ballerina"--like the four John Wick films that it's spun off from--is, strangely, far better at story than at action. The first John Wick film is the weakest, because the framework for the franchise was still unformed: a retired hit man (Keanu Reeves) gets back into action to respond to a mobster's attacks.
