The Download: energy transmission and US threats against Chinese AI
Plus: Why the OpenAI hack is the scariest AI mishap yet. The power line that could reshape New York's grid is hitting snags During a heat wave on July 3, New York State's grid imported enough electricity from Canada to meet about 9% of its total demand that day. Some of that power shuttled in on a 339-mile power line stretching from Quebec to Queens. It opened in May and is officially the longest underground transmission line in North America. It could provide up to 20% of New York City's electricity demand, largely with abundant hydropower from Quebec. One wrinkle: The line has been down for most of this month, and some experts are concerned about how drought will affect the power supply feeding it.

Advocates and lawmakers rally in support of a moratorium on new datacenters in New York at the capitol in Albany in May. New York became the first US state to enact a moratorium on new datacenters on Tuesday. Governor Kathy Hochul issued an executive order mandating a one-year statewide pause on the large facilities used to power artificial intelligence products, which she signed at a mid-morning press conference. "As datacenter development threatens to hike up utility bills, deplete our natural resources, and create uncertainty for New Yorkers, it's my responsibility to take action and lead," Hochul, a Democrat, said in a statement.

Mamdani-backed candidates sweep New York City Democratic primaries
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's slate of progressives has swept establishment-backed Democrats in New York's closely watched congressional primaries, ousting two sitting congressmen in a show of force for the democratic socialist leader of the United States's largest city. On Tuesday, Adriano Espaillat, who leads the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and is in his fifth term, was defeated by Mamdani's most polarising pick, Darializa Avila Chevalier, a democratic socialist who once helped organise pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University. And another Mamdani ally, democratic socialist state Assembly Member Claire Valdez, defeated Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, the handpicked successor of retiring US Representative Nydia Velazquez. New York's primary will determine which challengers the party nominates to run in the midterm elections in November. That vote will, in turn, decide which party controls Congress, giving its lawmakers the power to aid or impede US President Donald Trump's legislative agenda for his final two years in office.
From Pose to Muscle: Multimodal Learning for Piano Hand Muscle Electromyography
Muscle coordination is fundamental when humans interact with the world. Reliable estimation of hand muscle engagement can serve as a source of internal feedback, supporting the development of embodied intelligence and the acquisition of dexterous skills. However, contemporary electromyography (EMG) sensing techniques either require prohibitively expensive devices or are constrained to gross motor movements, which inherently involve large muscles.
