Mark Zuckerberg announces new'Meta Compute' initiative for its data center and AI projects Newly appointed exec Dina Powell McCormick will play a key role in the effort. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg attends a dinner hosted by US President Donald Trump with tech leaders for a dinner in the State Dining Room of the White House in Washington, DC, on September 4, 2025. On the heels of Mark Zuckerberg announcing that Meta's former board member, Dina Powell McCormick, would be formally joining the company as president and vice chairman, the CEO has shared new details about her purview at the company. The executive will play a key role overseeing Meta's sprawling infrastructure investments as part of a newly announced initiative called Meta Compute. Meta is planning to build tens of gigawatts this decade, and hundreds of gigawatts or more over time, Zuckerberg said in an update .

The US government is aiming to ease the pressure on air traffic controllers suffering shutdown-related woes by curtailing flights. But airlines have experience with this kind of sudden disruption. Newark Liberty International Airport is one of the high-traffic airports that could see flight cuts starting Friday. The US Federal Aviation Administration plans to cut 10 percent of flights in 40 high-traffic airports on Friday morning if Congress fails to reopen the federal government by then, Transportation secretary Sean Duffy and FAA chief Bryan Bedford said Wednesday. The announcement came days after the US agency said it faced widespread shortages of air traffic controllers in half of the country's 30 busiest airports and hours-long security lines caused by absences of Transportation Security Administration agents.

The EPA Is Ending Greenhouse Gas Data Collection. Who Will Step Up to Fill the Gap? With the agency no longer collecting emissions data from polluting companies, attention is turning to whether climate NGOs have the tools--and legal right--to fulfill this EPA function. The Environmental Protection Agency announced earlier this month that it would stop making polluting companies report their greenhouse gas emissions to it, eliminating a crucial tool the US uses to track emissions and form climate policy. Climate NGOs say their work could help plug some of the data gap, but they and other experts fear the EPA's work can't be fully matched. "I don't think this system can be fully replaced," says Joseph Goffman, the former assistant administrator at the EPA's Office of Air and Radiation.

A growing number of studies have linked facial width-to-height ratio (fWHR) with various antisocial or violent behavioral tendencies. However, those studies have predominantly been laboratory based and low powered. Behavioral tendencies were measured using 55 well-established psychometric scales, including self-report scales measuring intelligence, domains and facets of the five-factor model of personality, impulsiveness, sense of fairness, sensational interests, self-monitoring, impression management, and satisfaction with life. The findings revealed that fWHR is not substantially linked with any of these self-reported measures of behavioral tendencies, calling into question whether the links between fWHR and behavior generalize beyond the small samples and specific experimental settings that have been used in past fWHR research. A growing number of studies have linked facial widthto-height Broader-faced men, but not women, have also been ratio (fWHR; Weston, Friday, & Liò, 2007) with shown to be more likely to cheat when reporting dice various antisocial or violent behavioral tendencies in rolls, n = 146, t(144) = 1.97, p =.05 (Geniole, Keyes, men, but not in women.

Elon Musk has won back his 44.9bn pay package at electric carmaker Tesla after shareholders voted to restore the compensation deal in a ringing endorsement of his leadership. The vote at Tesla's annual meeting on Thursday came after a judge in the US state of Delaware threw out the deal after finding that the company's board was too close to Musk and had not protected shareholders' interests. "I just want to start off by saying, hot damn, I love you guys!" a jubilant Musk said as he appeared on stage after the vote. "We have the most awesome shareholder base. I mean it's just incredible."

For bookworms, reading a headline like "School District Uses ChatGPT to Help Remove Library Books" can be blood boiling. As Vulture put it earlier this week, it creates the sense that the artificial intelligence tool is once again "[taking] out its No. 1 enemy: original work." Using ChatGPT's guidance, the Mason City Community School District removed 19 titles--including Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and Toni Morrison's Beloved--from its library shelves. But there is another truth: Educators who must comply with vague laws about "age-appropriate" books with "descriptions or visual depictions of a sex act" have only so many options. Signed into law by Governor Kim Reynolds in May, Iowa's SF 496 is one of those "parental rights" bills that have become popular with Republican lawmakers of late and seek to limit discussion of sexuality and gender identity in schools.

Extreme cold is merciless on machinery. Rubber seals stiffen and crack. The problems pile up as the temperature falls. Metal becomes brittle, and wires contract. Batteries stop working, adhesives stop sticking and LCD screens go black as their liquid crystal freezes solid.

The judge presiding over Twitter's lawsuit against Elon Musk has mostly rejected the multi-company executive's request to access an "absurdly broad" amount of data. She did, however, agree that additional data from Twitter is warranted and has ordered the social network to produce a subset of what Musk's camp had requested. To be exact, Judge Kathaleen McCormick has ordered Twitter to hand over data from the 9,000 accounts it reviewed in the fourth quarter of 2021 to determine the number of spam accounts on the platform. Further, it must produce the documents showing how those accounts, which Twitter calls "historical snapshot," were selected for review. Twitter, if you'll recall, is suing Elon Musk to force him to complete his $44 billion acquisition of the website. Musk offered to buy Twitter for $54.20 per share back in April, and Twitter had quickly agreed.

The Royal Surrey Foundation Trust treated Emma McCormick, 44, using adaptive radiotherapy after she was diagnosed with the cancer last April and was referred to St Luke's Cancer Centre. The treatment, called Ethos, involves a machine, created by healthcare company Varian, which uses artificial intelligence to deliver a prescription dose to tumours. The AI technology uses daily CT scans to target the specific areas that need radiotherapy, which helps avoid damage to healthy tissue and limit side-effects. Patients are required only to lay still on a flat surface inside the machine for the duration of the treatment. There is a screen above the machine which shows different images, and medical staff can play music to make the treatment more comfortable.
