1a·1o·spread 0.00·10 hr agotechnology·via TechCrunch10 hr agoUber has a long-term ambition that goes well beyond shuttling passengers: the company eventually wants to outfit its human drivers’ cars with sensors to soak up real-world data for autonomous vehicle (AV) companies — and potentially other companies training AI models on physical-world scenarios. Praveen Neppalli Naga, Uber’s chief technology officer, revealed the plan in an interview at TechCrunch’s StrictlyVC event in San Francisco on Thursday night, describing it as a natural extension of a nascent program the company announced in late January called AV Labs. “That is the direction we want to go eventually,” Naga said of equipping human drivers’ vehicles. “But first we need to get the understanding of the sensor kits and how they all work. There are some regulations — we have to make sure every state has [clarity on] what sensors mean, and what sharing it means.” For now, AV Labs relies on a small, dedicated fleet of sensor-equipped cars that Uber operates itself, separate from its driver network. But the ambition is clearly much larger. Uber has millions of drivers globally, and if even a fraction of those cars could be transformed into rolling data-collection platforms, the scale of what Uber could offer the

Ask Jeeves first launched in 1996 and, with its focus on answering conversational questions posed in natural language, was arguably a precursor to today’s AI-powered chatbots. It was also, however, overshadowed by other search products, especially Google. Holding company IAC acquired Ask Jeeves in 2005, quickly dropped “Jeeves” from the name, and by 2010 had scaled back its search product to refocus on Q&A. That same year, IAC Chairman Barry Diller said at TechCrunch Disrupt that Ask.com was not competitive with Google and was not valued in IAC’s stock. A message on the Ask.com website currently reads, “As IAC continues to sharpen its focus, we have made the decision to discontinue our search business, which includes Ask.com. After 25 years of answering the world’s questions, Ask.com officially closed on May 1, 2026.” Nonetheless, the website insists, “Jeeves’ spirit endures.” Topics Subscribe for the industry’s biggest tech news Latest in Media & Entertainment

One of the world’s most sprawling and populated urban areas, at 3,000 square miles (about 7,800 square kilometers) and some 22 million people, the Mexican capital and surrounding cities were built atop an ancient lake bed. Many downtown streets were once canals, a tradition that continues in the rural fringes. Extensive groundwater pumping and urban development have dramatically shrunk the aquifer, meaning that Mexico City has been sinking for more than a century, leaving many monuments and older buildings - like the Metropolitan Cathedral, where construction began in 1573 - visibly tilted to the side. The contracting aquifer has also contributed to a chronic water crisis that is only expected to worsen. “It damages part of the critical infrastructure of Mexico City, such as the subway, the drainage system, the water, the potable water system, housing and streets,” said Enrique Cabral, a researcher studying geophysics at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. “It’s a very big problem.” Mexico City is sinking so fast that the subsidence

The area, in a remote corner of Arizona’s Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge, is a roughly 280-by-50-foot etching in the desert sand known as an intaglio. Last Thursday, without any notice, a contractor working for DHS cut a roughly 60-foot swath across the middle of the intaglio, doing irreparable damage to the 1,000-year-old artifact. “I liken it to destroying the Nazca lines — something that culturally we should have been relishing and promoting.” Cabeza Prieta, one of the largest wilderness areas outside of Alaska, also encompasses lands sacred to the Tohono O’odham Nation, which borders the refuge to the east. The O’odham have fought to prevent border wall construction across their reservation and during Trump’s first term largely prevailed; they also managed to protect the intaglio and a nearby burial site that they consider to be part of their ancestral lands. “I liken it to destroying the Nazca lines — something that culturally we should have been relishing and promoting.

The earthquakes, plotted on a USGS interactive map, appear concentrated across southern Nevada, with the first quake striking on Wednesday morning, followed by more than a dozen, weaker tremors occurring roughly 28 miles east of the classified test site northwest of Las Vegas.Nevada is among the most seismically active states in the country, crisscrossed by faults linked to the Basin and Range geological province, where the Earth’s crust is slowly stretching and breaking apart. Earthquakes are relatively common in the region and are typically driven by natural stress changes underground, according to seismologists. Still, the proximity of some recent tremors to Area 51, long shrouded in secrecy and public fascination, has once again prompted questions online—despite the lack of evidence that the classified military site or any human activity is connected to the earthquakes.The tremors were confirmed to be earthquakes, DuRoss told Newsweek, as were the aftershocks, which occurred at a depth consistent with earthquakes.

In February, Anthropic posted a job for a head of product communications with a listed $400,000 salary; Netflix was seeking a senior director of communications with a salary range of $656,000 to $1.2 million; and OpenAI was looking for a head of infrastructure communications and a head of business communications, both with salary ranges up to $430,000, plus equity. Google is also willing to pay senior communications managers total compensation packages reaching $370,000 or more; Meta’s communications department averages roughly $221,380 in total compensation, with senior roles climbing well past that; and at Microsoft, top communications directors are pulling down close to $300,000.

That’s according to a study, published on 29 April in Nature1, that tested the technology in rats.The method, called click clotting, produces clots that are stronger than either natural clots or a commercial product used to stop bleeding. If shown to be safe and effective in people, the approach could provide a rapid way to induce haemostatis, the body’s natural process for controlling bleeding, and to stem potentially deadly blood loss during surgery or after injuries.“It’s really cool,” says Ashley Brown, a biomedical engineer jointly at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University in Raleigh, who was not involved in the study. “Particularly in emergency medicine, there’s a large need for materials that can be easily transported and rapidly induce haemostasis.”Thinking outside the clotThe engineered clots are unusual: red blood cells are not primarily responsible for initiating natural blood clots.

Barnes faced a double-team when Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley collapsed on Barnes in the paint, leaving Barrett wide open at the top of the key. Barrett hoisted a 3-point attempt that hit the back rim and then bounced high in the air, reaching to the top of the shot clock above the basket, before it fell through the net.The shot gave the Raptors a two-point edge, and Mobley missed the would-be, game-winning attempt on the other end to give Toronto a 112-110 victory.The shot was reminiscent of another back-rim bounce from last season’s playoffs, when Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton tied Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals when his shot bounced high off the back rim.The USA TODAY app gets you to

Students also overuse medications or “use a pill that someone gave them due to a sense of stress around academics — they are trying to stay

One passenger died of a suspected heart attack and many others were injured after a Singapore Airlines flight from London to Singapore hit severe turbulence on May 21, forcing the Boeing 777-300ER jet to divert to Bangkok. The sudden turbulence occurred over the Irrawaddy Basin in Myanmar about 10 hours into the flight, the airline said. The pilot declared a medical emergency and diverted the aircraft to Bangkok, it said. Aircraft tracking provider FlightRadar 24 said at about 0749 GMT the flight encountered “a rapid change in vertical rate, consistent with a sudden turbulence event”, based on flight tracking data. “There were thunderstorms, some severe, in the area at the time,” it said. Rapid movements Altitude data from FlightRadar24 shows how the aircraft was thrust up and down over the course of a minute, before returning to its original cruising altitude of 37,000 ft. During the event, the plane’s vertical speed, the rate by which the plane ascends or descends, quickly surged to 1,664 feet per minute before plummeting to -1,536 feet per minute in a matter of three seconds.
