President Biden's warning about cutting off arms supplies has strengthened the constraint facing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is increasingly caught between international calls for a ceasefire and right-wing Israeli demands to proceed with an invasion on a large scale in Rafah, southern Gaza.Netanyahu, who has insisted over American objections on the need to invade Rafah, now finds US-Israeli relations at a moment of crisis that could affect how he conducts the next phase of the war against Hamas.On Thursday, the Israeli leader, alluding to Biden's remarks, said in a statement: “If we need to be alone, we will be alone. I said that if necessary we will fight tooth and nail. But we have much more than nails and with that same strength of spirit, with God's he...

Even as it has become increasingly clear that the avian flu outbreak on domestic farms began months earlier — and is likely much more widespread — than previously thought, federal authorities have stressed that the virus poses little risk to humans. humans.Yet there is a group of people at high risk of infection: the approximately 100,000 men and women who work on those farms. There has been no widespread testing to see how many might be infected. No one has been vaccinated against avian influenza.This leaves workers and their families vulnerable to a poorly monitored pathogen. And it poses broader public health risks. If the virus were to spread into the broader population, experts say, dairy workers would be a likely route.“We have no idea whether this virus will evolve into a pandem...

Some users will scoff at befriending a chatbot. But others, especially people for whom socializing is difficult or unattractive, will invite AI into the most hidden parts of their lives.This change will be shocking. One day you will wake up and someone you know (maybe your child) will have an AI friend. It will not be a gimmick, a game or a sign of mental illness. It will feel like a real and important relationship to them, one that offers a convincing replica of empathy and understanding and that, in some cases, feels just as good as the real thing.I wanted to experience that future for myself.Building my friends and setting them freeThe first step was to create my AI friends.The apps I tested all work essentially the same way: Users sign up and receive a menu of AI companions, which ...

On the 15th night of Ramadan, in a suburb of Belize City, Majid Khan and his family of four sat down for a traditional iftar meal to quickly break up the daylight hours. There was a leg of lamb that Majid, a former Guantánamo detainee, had slaughtered himself, and some sweets brought from Saudi Arabia by a sister in Maryland.The atmosphere was a bit noisy, but not enough to disturb the sleep of little Hamza, born two weeks earlier in a hospital in the Central American city. Little was said about whether the biryani dish was too spicy and how the lamb was perfectly roasted.These are trivial matters, made more significant because Majid Khan, a former Al Qaeda courier, was celebrating with his wife Rabia and daughter Manaal in their first home together, in Belize, their new adopted homeland...

Academic conferences are usually serious affairs, but the 1973 International Symposium on Gender Identity, held in Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia, was an exception.

The trumpet is the first thing to be crushed. Then the industrial compressor flattens a row of paint cans, straps on a piano and levels what appears to be a marble bust. In a final act of destruction, he pops the eyes out of a yellow ball emoji.When the compressor rises, it reveals Apple's latest product: the updated iPad Pro.Tim Cook, Apple's chief executive, released the ad, called "Crush," on Tuesday after the company held an event to announce new tablets. “Introducing the new iPad Pro: the thinnest product we've ever created,” Cook wrote, adding, “Imagine all the things it will be used to create.”For decades, Apple has been the beacon of the creative class. He won over designers, musicians and film editors with the promise that his products would help them “Think Differ...

According to Bradley, in most cases, it accelerated supplies already committed under contracts, many of which were approved by Congress and the ...
