The Florida Panthers star joined The Pat McAfee Show on Thursday and discussed his plan to play for Team USA at the 2026 IIHF World Championship in Switzerland. USA Hockey's preliminary roster, announced May 7, includes Tkachuk for the first time, since the Panthers failed to reach the NHL playoffs this season. The tournament begins May 15 in Zurich and Fribourg, and the Americans are trying to win back-to-back gold medals at the event for the first time ever. Tkachuk made his mindset pretty clear.

Mexico City's 'Xoli' Chatbot Will Help World Cup Tourists Navigate the City

WIRED

The launch of "Xoli" adds to the technological efforts promoted by the federal government to turn the 2026 World Cup into an engine of development for the entire country. Xoli, the new chatbot, is named after the axolotl, a salamander with external gills. The Government of Mexico City has launched Xoli, a chatbot that will provide information on services, tourism, and cultural offerings. The platform was designed to meet the demand of the millions of visitors expected to arrive during the 2026 FIFA World Cup . However, the authorities assure that the tool will remain active once the sporting event is over, with the aim of promoting economic activities and facilitating access to public services in the capital.




AI Is Getting Scary Good at Making Predictions

The Atlantic - Technology

Even superforecasters are guessing that they'll soon be obsolete. To live in time is to wonder what will happen next. In every human society, there are people who obsess over the world's patterns to predict the future. In antiquity, they told kings which stars would appear at nightfall. Today they build the quantitative models that nudge governments into opening spigots of capital.

All strings generated by the CFG can be broken down into a (non-unique) tree of production ruleswiththenon-terminal startingsymbolS atitshead. Although each individual production rule is a simplereplacement operation, thecombination ofmanysuchrulescanspecific astringspacewith complex syntactical constraints. However,whensampling strings from the grammar, we found this simple sampling strategy to produce long and repetitive strings. In fact, these tasks are considerably more challenging than the common benchmarks used to test standard BO frameworks. We triedSEkernels withbothindividual andtiedlength scales across latentdimensions, however,this did not have a significant effect on performance, possibly due to difficulties in estimating many kernel parameters inthese low-data BO problems. This ranking matches the relative performance of the BO routines based on these surrogate models (Figure 7). Figure 7.d visualizes the intrinsic representation of an SSK when kernel parameters are purposely chosen to provide a bad fit.
