Cowboys' Cobie Durant gets stepped on in worst place possible during win over Commanders Browns' Deshaun Watson may have silenced doubters after outlasting Baker Mayfield and 2-hour weather delay Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase scores jaw-dropping first touchdown of the season after lackluster Week 1 start Mississippi gov trolls Lane Kiffin, LSU after Ole Miss defeats Tigers in coach's return to Oxford Comedian Tim Dillon slams Sydney Sweeney critics upset with steamy ad: 'How insane is that?

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels was carted off the field at halftime during Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys after he appeared to injure his left elbow on the final play of the first half. During the play, Daniels seemed to hyperextend the left elbow. And, yes, it was ugly.

The dumbest thing any NFL player did in Week 1 of the regular season? That was Stefon Diggs, who was guilty of a clownish touchdown celebration that cost his team - perhaps dearly. Diggs, 32, is one of the league's most-gifted route runners. He's elite in that respect and he showed it on a 10-yard touchdown in Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles .

Influence Maximization (IM) seeks to identify a small set of seed nodes in a social network to maximize expected information spread under a diffusion model. While community-based approaches improve scalability by exploiting modular structure, they typically assume independence between communities, overlooking inter-community influence$\unicode{x2014}$a limitation that reduces effectiveness in real-world networks. We introduce Community-IM++, a scalable framework that explicitly models cross-community diffusion through a principled heuristic based on community-based diffusion degree (CDD) and a progressive budgeting strategy. The algorithm partitions the network, computes CDD to prioritize bridging nodes, and allocates seeds adaptively across communities using lazy evaluation to minimize redundant computations. Experiments on large real-world social networks under different edge weight models show that Community-IM++ achieves near-greedy influence spread at up to 100 times lower runtime, while outperforming Community-IM and degree heuristics across budgets and structural conditions. These results demonstrate the practicality of Community-IM++ for large-scale applications such as viral marketing, misinformation control, and public health campaigns, where efficiency and cross-community reach are critical.

Deploying deep neural networks on resource-constrained devices faces two critical challenges: maintaining accuracy under aggressive quantization while ensuring predictable inference latency. We present a curiosity-driven quantized Mixture-of-Experts framework that addresses both through Bayesian epistemic uncertainty-based routing across heterogeneous experts (BitNet ternary, 1-16 bit BitLinear, post-training quantization). Evaluated on audio classification benchmarks (ESC-50, Quinn, UrbanSound8K), our 4-bit quantization maintains 99.9 percent of 16-bit accuracy (0.858 vs 0.859 F1) with 4x compression and 41 percent energy savings versus 8-bit. Crucially, curiosity-driven routing reduces MoE latency variance by 82 percent (p = 0.008, Levene's test) from 230 ms to 29 ms standard deviation, enabling stable inference for battery-constrained devices. Statistical analysis confirms 4-bit/8-bit achieve practical equivalence with full precision (p > 0.05), while MoE architectures introduce 11 percent latency overhead (p < 0.001) without accuracy gains. At scale, deployment emissions dominate training by 10000x for models serving more than 1,000 inferences, making inference efficiency critical. Our information-theoretic routing demonstrates that adaptive quantization yields accurate (0.858 F1, 1.2M params), energy-efficient (3.87 F1/mJ), and predictable edge models, with simple 4-bit quantized architectures outperforming complex MoE for most deployments.

A groundbreaking program has now made it possible to preserve your life stories and wisdom, allowing you to speak to loved ones decades into the future. StoryFile, an innovative AI company, has developed lifelike, interactive 3D avatars that allow people to'live on' after death, sharing memories and answering questions in the same natural and conversational manner of a real person. Individuals like philanthropist Michael Staenberg, 71, and Star Trek star William Shatner, 94, have used StoryFile to immortalize both their experiences and personalities. Staenberg, a property developer and philanthropist who has given away more than 850 million, said: 'I hope to pass my knowledge on, and the good I've created.' The technology captures video interviews, transforming them into hologram-style avatars that use generative AI, similar to ChatGPT, to respond dynamically to questions.

From popular apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge to niche platforms like Singles with Food Allergies, Ugly Schmuks, and Mullet Passions, it seems there's now a dating app for everyone. But regardless of your app choice, one thing's for sure - you should never send these messages. Experts from FindingTheOne.com surveyed 1,000 singletons about the messages they hate to receive online. Topping the list is a basic'hey' or'hi', which a whopping 78 per cent of users said they despise. Acording to the survey, it's also wise to avoid cheesy pickup lines, as these could put off 59 per cent of singletons.

Eliezer Yudkowsky, a 44-year-old academic wearing a grey polo shirt, rocks slowly on his office chair and explains with real patience – taking things slowly for a novice like me – that every single person we know and love will soon be dead. They will be murdered by rebellious self-aware machines. "The difficulty is, people do not realise," Yudkowsky says mildly, maybe sounding just a bit frustrated, as if irritated by a neighbour's leaf blower or let down by the last pages of a novel. "We have a shred of a chance that humanity survives." I have set out to meet and talk to a small but growing band of luddites, doomsayers, disruptors and other AI-era sceptics who see only the bad in the way our spyware-steeped, infinitely doomscrolling world is tending. I want to find out why these techno-pessimists think the way they do. I want to know how they would render change. Out of all of those I speak to, Yudkowsky is the most pessimistic, the least convinced that civilisation has a hope.

Imagine having a live-in masseur available to pummel away at your aching back at the end of each day; one who never gets tired, or suggests that maybe it is time for you to return the favour. Enter the Backhug: a robotic therapist equipped with 26 mechanical fingers to scan the unique curvature of your spine and press away stiffness in the joints of your back, neck and shoulders, with nothing more than a whirr and occasional squeak of complaint. Exhausted by the effort of repeatedly pressing his own thumbs into their back joints to relieve their pain, Lee did what many employees fantasise about, and designed a robotic clone to partly replace himself. When I was invited to try one of these "robotherapists", I jumped at the chance. Despite taking regular exercise, I suffer from many of the above complaints, and was intrigued to see what difference six weeks of daily massage could make.

Apple has quietly confirmed that the much-anticipated rollout of its iOS 15.4 update is coming sometime next week. It also includes 37 new emoji, including a pregnant man, a motorcycle tyre, a slide, a disco ball, a troll with a club, coral, kidney beans and a low battery. There's also a new'gender neutral' voice for its smart assistant Siri, called Quinn, recorded by a member of the LGBTQ community. Apple's confirmation follows the unveiling of new products on Tuesday, including the third generation phone in its'budget' iPhone SE line, starting at £419 ($429). Since the start of the pandemic, getting Face ID to automatically recognise our face to unlock our iPhones has been a bugbear as we've had masks over our faces.
