افزایش تنش‌ها، روابط بین‌المللی به‌ ویژه روابط میان قدرت‌های بزرگ را دستخوش چالش کرده است. ایالات متحده حمایت خود را از اسرائیل اعلام کرده است - اما منافع روسیه و چین در این وضعیت چیست و واکنش احتمالی آن‌ها چگونه خواهد بود؟

ده ماه از خروج خانواده‌ام از غزه می‌گذرد، اما همچنان با احساس فقدان، رنج و پیامدهای دردناک جنگ دست و پنجه نرم می‌کنیم.

حزب‌الله لبنان روز سه‌شنبه ۲۹ اکتبر اعلام کرد که نعیم قاسم، معاون دبیرکل حزب‌الله، به عنوان دبیرکل جدید این گروه انتخاب شده و جایگزین حسن نصرالله خواهد شد که حدود یک ماه پیش در حمله هوایی اسرائیل به مقر فرماندهی حزب‌الله در حومه جنوبی بیروت کشته شد.

زمانی که اسرائیل در ماه گذشته اعلام کرد قصد دارد یک موسسه خیریه وام‌دهی خُرد لبنانی مرتبط با حزب‌الله را هدف قرار دهد، موجی از جستجوی سراسیمه‌ای برای یافتن فهرست شعبه‌های این سازمان به راه افتاد.

قبل از این دو آمریکایی سرشناس، گذر استیسی به این باشگاه افتاده بود. فردی که مدت‌ها قبل از این دو هنرپیشه، آمریکای شمالی را به شمال ولز وصل کرده بود. فردی که با سفر از بریستول پس از جنگ به رکسم، نقش برجسته‌ای در پر کردن شکاف نژادی داشت.

کنفرانس تغیرات اقلیمی سازمان ملل متحد در باکو ساعاتی پیش با سخنرانی سایمون استیل، دبیر اجرایی تغییرات اقلیمی سازمان ملل و پیام او در مورد ضرورت همکاری جهانی برای مقابله با بحران اقلیمی آغاز بکار کرد. افغانستان در گزارش سازمان ریسک جهانی صندوق صلح و سازمان جهانی هواشناسی در فهرست کشورهای در معرض خطر ناشی از تغییرات اقلیمی در جایگاه ششم و چهارم قرار دارد. حکومت طالبان گفته است تلاش خواهد کرد تا پیشنهادات خود را در مورد دسترسی افغانستان به میکانیزم‌های‌مالی در این کنفرانس ارایه کند. کارشناسان می‌گویند افغانستان بنابر سه دهه جنگ، ناامنی و نبود حاکمیت‌های کارآ، ظرفیت و توانایی لازم برای مقابله با تاثیرات منفی تغییرات اقلیمی را ندارد.

امسال مهم‌ترین اجلاس بین‌المللی برای جلوگیری از گرم شدن خطرناک کره زمین در شهر باکو، پایتخت جمهوری آذربایجان برگزار خواهد شد. جمهوری آذربایجان کشوری است که پیشرفت‌های اخیر اقتصادی‌اش حاصل استخراج نفت و گاز است.

این هفته در جهان خودرو: رونمایی از محصولات جدید آئودی در بازار چین با نشان جدید، تولید دوباره یک بنتلی مشهور پس از نزدیک به یک قرن، انتشار جزییاتی از مدل‌های جدید بنز و تاثیر ریاست جمهوری دونالد ترامپ بر بازار خودرو.

در فاصله‌ای نه چندان دور، تصور دفاع همه جانبه محمد بن سلمان از «حاکمیت جمهوری اسلامی ایران» در مقابل حملات احتمالی اسرائیل ناممکن به نظر می‌رسید. عربستان نه تنها سعی می‌کرد جلوی ایران بیاستد، بلکه در مسیر به رسمیت شناختن اسرائیل و تشکیل یک ائتلاف ضد ایرانی بسیار قدرتمند در خاورمیانه گام بر می‌داشت.

وقتی که برونو سیمائو، دوست روبن آموریم به او پیشنهاد کرد که مسابقه‌ای آزمایشی در باشگاه پرتغالی بلننزه ترتیب دهند تا این دو دوست دوران کودکی دوباره همبازی شوند، روبن پاسخ داد: «نمی‌توانم، چون مشکلی دارم.»

فصل سرما برای بسیاری از ایرانیان یعنی شنیدن اخبار نگران‌کننده مازوت‌سوزی و دیدن نیروگاه‌هایی است که مازوت می‌سوزانند. ایران سعی می‌کند مشکل کمبود گاز برای تغذیه نیروگاه‌ها را با سوزاندن مازوت جبران کند که هم بر سلامتی مردم تاثیر منفی دارد و هم به محیط زیست آسیب می‌زند.

بیت کوین پس از انتخاب دونالد ترامپ به ریاست‌جمهوری آمریکا، و افزایش قیمت آن بار دیگر در سرفصل اخبار قرار گرفته است.

یک روز پس از شروع قطع برق برنامه‌ریزی‌شده در نقاطی از ایران،‌ از امروز،‌ دوشنبه ۲۱ آبان برنامه خاموشی‌های دوساعته در پایتخت و شهرهای استان تهران هم به اجرا گذاشته شد. تهران در این برنامه به ۲۴ منطقه تقسیم‌بندی شده و برق مناطق مختلف بر اساس برنامه از پیش‌ اعلام شده قطع می‌شود.

در اجلاس کنفرانس تغییرات اقلیمی سازمان ملل متحد (کاپ) که در جمهوری آذربایجان برگزار می‌شود، کارشناسان اقلیمی از ده‌ها کشور درباره اقدامات جدیدی برای کاهش انتشار گازهای گلخانه‌ای بحث و گفت‌وگو خواهند کرد.

گری لینکر، مهاجم سابق تیم ملی فوتبال انگلستان که پس از کنار گذاشتن فوتبال حرفه‌ای به عنوان یکی از موفق‌ترین کارشناسان و مجریان ورزشی شهرت یافته در پایان فصل جاری «مسابقه روز» از اجرای این برنامه ورزشی مشهور کنار خواهد رفت.

آیا پس از ۱۱ هفته از آغاز لیگ برتر فوتبال انگلیس می‌توان گفت که فقط دو تیم برای قهرمانی در این مسابقات رقابت می‌کنند؟

دونالد ترامپ، رئیس‌جمهور منتخب آمریکا تایید کرده است که مایکل والتز را برای احراز پست مشاور امنیت ملی این کشور در نظر گرفته است. دو منبع آگاه به سی‌بی‌اس نیوز، شریک آمریکایی بی‌بی‌سی، گفته‌اند که انتظار می‌رود سناتور مارکو روبیو از ایالت فلوریدا هم را برای وزارت خارجه برگزیند.

در حالی که رهبران ده‌ها کشور عربی و اسلامی روز دوشنبه برای شرکت در نشستی در پایتخت عربستان گرد هم آمدند، گمانه‌زنی‌های گسترده‌ای درباره این موضوع وجود دارد که دور تازه ریاست جمهوری دونالد ترامپ چه تاثیری بر منطقه خواهد گذاشت.

رهبران جهان در حالی در مذاکرات اقلیمی کاپ۲۹ شرکت کرده‌اند که در مورد بودجه ناکافی «تاسف‌بار» برای کاهش انتشار گازهای گلخانه‌ای هشدار داده‌ شده است. پیشتر دبیرکل سازمان ملل، عطش مداوم جهان برای سوخت‌های فسیلی را محکوم کرد. اما الهام علی‌اف، میزبان این نشست، نفت و گاز را «هدیه‌ای از جانب خداوند» توصیف کرد و انتخاب مجدد دونالد ترامپ هم که از استخراج سوخت‌های فسیلی حمایت می‌کند به شدت بر این اجلاس سایه انداخته است.

نزدیک به یک ماه پیش، کامالا هریس در مصاحبه‌ای دوستانه با هدف معرفی خود به آمریکایی‌هایی که می‌خواستند درباره او بیشتر بدانند، در برنامه دیدگاه شبکه ای‌بی‌سی شرکت کرد. اما این نشست به سرعت تحت‌الشعاع پاسخش به این سوال قرار گرفت که او چه کاری متفاوت از جو بایدن، رئیس جمهور فعلی انجام خواهد داد. جواب این بود: «هیچ چیزی به ذهنم خطور نمی‌کند.»

به نوشته رسانه‌های آمریکایی، انتظار می‌رود که دونالد ترامپ، مارکو روبیو و مایکل والتز را به عنوان وزیر خارجه و مشاور امنیت ملی خود انتخاب کند؛ دو تن از اعضای کنگره آمریکا که هر دو به مواضع ضد حکومت ایران و حمایت سرسخت از اسرائیل شهرت دارند.

هنگامی که از سازنده سریال محبوب کره‌ای «بازی مرکب» (اسکوئید گیم) درباره گزارش‌هایی می‌پرسم که می‌گویند او در حین فیلمبرداری فصل اول به دلیل فشار روانی زیاد ۶ دندانش را از دست داده، فوراً حرفم را اصلاح می‌کند و با خنده می‌گوید: «در واقع ۸ یا ۹ دندان بود.»

نمایشگاه بین‌المللی هوافضا و هوانوردی چین با نمایش جنگنده رادارگریز «جی -۲۰» نیروی هوایی چین و جنگنده «سوخو ۵۷» روسیه و رونمایی از جنگنده رادارگریز «جی – ۳۵ای» چین، در شهر ژوهای آغاز به کار کرد. ‌

قتل یک پزشک متخصص در یاسوج به دست برادر یکی از بیمارانش که جان باخته بود،‌ جامعه پزشکی ایران را تکان داده است و موجب شده است که شماری از آنها دست به اعتصاب و اعتراض بزنند.

بنیامین نتانیاهو، نخست‌وزیر اسرائیل، در ویدیوی جدیدی که عصر امروز - سه‌شنبه ۲۲ آبان - در شبکه اجتماعی ایکس منتشر کرده خطاب به مردم ایران می‌گوید مطلع است که ایرانیان جنگ نمی‌خواهند و مردم اسرائیل هم مخالف جنگ‌اند اما از نظر او این رهبر و حکومت ایران است که تمرکزش را بر «نابودی اسرائیل» گذاشته است.

شاهدان عینی به بی‌بی‌سی می‌گویند که زندگی در شمال غزه از زمان آغاز جنگ اسرائیل با حماس در اکتبر سال گذشته مانند انتظار روزانه برای مرگ است.

در انتخابات ریاست جمهوری آمریکا، دونالد ترامپ توانست حمایت گروهی از رای‌دهندگان را از دموکرات‌ها بگیرد که فکر می‌کردند تا یک نسل آینده به پیروزی آنها در کاخ سفید کمک خواهند کرد.

با وجود تاکید ارتش اسرائیل بر اینکه در عملیات نظامی در لبنان به حفاظت از آثار باستانی توجه دارد، باستانشناسان از تاثیر حملات هوایی در نزدیکی این امکان و احتمال اصابت تصادفی مهمات به آنها نگران هستند.

دونالد ترامپ، رئیس جمهور منتخب آمریکا، اعلام کرده است که ایلان ماسک هدایت یک سازمان تازه تحت عنوان «کارآمدی دولت» را به عهده خواهد گرفت. او همچنین در این روز پیت هِگسِت، مجری شبکه فاکس نیوز و سرباز سابق، را برای هدایت وزارت دفاع و جان راتکلیف، مدیر اطلاعات ملی در دوره اول ریاست جمهوری خود را، برای هدایت سازمان سیا معرفی کرده است.

zoobab writes: The US Senate to set to revive Software Patents with the PERA Bill, with a vote on Thursday, November 14, 2024. A crucial Senate Committee is on the cusp of voting on two bills that would resurrect some of the most egregious software patents and embolden patent trolls. The Patent Eligibility Restoration Act (PERA), S. 2140, would dismantle vital safeguards that prohibit software patents on overly broad concepts. If passed, courts would be compelled to approve software patents on mundane activities like mobile food ordering or basic online financial transactions. This would unleash a torrent of vague and overbroad software patents, which would be wielded by patent trolls to extort small businesses and individuals. The EFF is inviting members of the public to contact their Senators.

40% of AI data centers will face operational constraints due to power shortages by 2027 as AI drives unprecedented energy consumption, research firm Gartner said on Tuesday. Data center power requirements for AI-optimized servers are projected to reach 500 terawatt-hours annually by 2027, more than double 2023 levels, as companies rapidly expand facilities to handle large language model training and implementation. The surge in power demand will outpace utility providers' ability to expand capacity, Gartner analyst Bob Johnson said, leading to higher electricity costs that will cascade through the AI industry. Some operators are already seeking direct agreements with power producers to secure guaranteed supply.

Microsoft is planning to no longer support the Windows Mail, Calendar, and People apps later this year. The Verge: The software giant has been moving existing users of these apps over to the new Outlook for Windows app in recent months, and now it has set an end of support date for the Mail, Calendar, and People apps of December 31st. Once the apps reach end of support later this year, Microsoft warns that users who haven't moved to the new Outlook app "will no longer be able to send and receive email using Windows Mail and Calendar." Microsoft has been rolling out the new Outlook for Windows app for years, with it officially reaching the general availability stage in August. The new web-based Outlook is designed to eventually replace the full desktop version of Outlook too, and Microsoft plans to provide enterprise customers a 12-month notice before it starts to move people away from the desktop version of Outlook.

The percentage of workers in the U.S. who say they are using AI at work has remained largely flat over the last three months, according to a new study commissioned by Slack. From a report: If AI's rapid adoption curve slows or flattens, a lot of very rosy assumptions about the technology -- and very high market valuations tied to them -- could change. Slack said its most recent survey found 33% of U.S. workers say they are using AI at work, an increase of just a single percentage point. That represents a significant flattening of the rapid growth noted in prior surveys. Global adoption of AI use at work, meanwhile, rose from 32% to 36%. Between the lines: Slack also found that globally, nearly half of workers (48%) said they were uncomfortable telling their managers they use AI at work. Among the top reasons cited were a fear of being seen as lazy, cheating or incompetent.

Federal authorities are grappling with the aftermath of an illegal sheep cloning operation that has scattered hundreds of contraband hybrid animals across multiple states, following the sentencing of the scheme's mastermind. Montana rancher Arthur Schubarth received a six-month prison term for cloning a near-threatened Marco Polo argali sheep from tissue illegally imported from Kyrgyzstan. The cloned animal, named Montana Mountain King, was used to inseminate over 100 ewes, creating a network of unauthorized hybrid offspring. Court documents reveal that Schubarth sold these hybrids to big game hunting enthusiasts, with prices reaching $10,000 per animal. While the original cloned sheep is now housed at New York's Rosamond Gifford Zoo, authorities cannot account for most of its descendants.

Red Hat, the IBM-owned open source software firm, is acquiring Neural Magic, a startup that optimizes AI models to run faster on commodity processors and GPUs. From a report: The terms of the deal weren't disclosed. MIT research scientist Alex Matveev and professor Nir Shavit founded Somerville, Massachusetts-based Neural Magic in 2018, inspired by their work in high-performance execution engines for AI. Neural Magic's software aims to process AI workloads on processors and GPUs at speeds equivalent to specialized AI chips (e.g. TPUs). By running models on off-the-shelf processors, which usually have more available memory, the company's software can realize these performance gains. Big tech companies like AMD and a host of other startups, including NeuReality, Deci, CoCoPie, OctoML and DeepCube, offer some sort of AI optimization software. But Neural Magic is one of the few with a free platform and a collection of open source tools to complement it. Neural Magic had so far managed to raise $50 million in venture capital from backers like Andreessen Horowitz, New Enterprise Associations, Amdocs, Comcast Ventures, Pillar VC and Ridgeline Ventures.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from 404 Media: Flock is one of the largest vendors of automated license plate readers (ALPRs) in the country. The company markets itself as having the goal to fully "eliminate crime" with the use of ALPRs and other connected surveillance cameras, a target experts say is impossible. [...] Flock and automated license plate reader cameras owned by other companies are now in thousands of neighborhoods around the country. Many of these systems talk to each other and plug into other surveillance systems, making it possible to track people all over the country. "It went from me seeing 10 license plate readers to probably seeing 50 or 60 in a few days of driving around," [said Alabama resident and developer Will Freeman]. "I wanted to make a record of these things. I thought, 'Can I make a database of these license plate readers?'" And so he made a map, and called it DeFlock. DeFlock runs on Open Street Map, an open source, editable mapping software. He began posting signs for DeFlock (PDF) to the posts holding up Huntsville's ALPR cameras, and made a post about the project to the Huntsville subreddit, which got good attention from people who lived there. People have been plotting not just Flock ALPRs, but all sorts of ALPRs, all over the world. [...] When I first talked to Freeman, DeFlock had a few dozen cameras mapped in Huntsville and a handful mapped in Southern California and in the Seattle suburbs. A week later, as I write this, DeFlock has crowdsourced the locations of thousands of cameras in dozens of cities across the United States and the world. He said so far more than 1,700 cameras have been reported in the United States and more than 5,600 have been reported around the world. He has also begun scraping parts of Flock's website to give people a better idea of where to look to map them. For example, Flock says that Colton, California, a city with just over 50,000 people outside of San Bernardino, has 677 cameras. People who submit cameras to DeFlock have the ability to note the direction that they are pointing in, which can help people understand how these cameras are being positioned and the strategies that companies and police departments are using when deploying them. For example, all of the cameras in downtown Huntsville are pointing away from the downtown core, meaning they are primarily focused on detecting cars that are entering downtown Huntsville from other areas.

The genetic testing company 23andMe announced it will cut 40% of its workforce, or 200 jobs, and halt the work on therapies it was developing. As the BBC notes, the company is fighting for survival after hackers gained access to personal information of millions of its users, causing the stock to crater by more than 70%. All seven of its independent directors also resigned in September, following a protracted negotiation with founder and Chief Executive Anne Wojcicki over her plan to take the company private. The BBC reports: On Tuesday, the company warned investors of "substantial doubt" about its ability to continue operating, as it reported that revenue had fallen to $44 million between July and September compared to $50 million in the same period last year. Losses fell to $59 million from $75 million. The job cuts are expected to lead to one-off costs of $12 million, including severance pay, for the plan that will result in savings of $35 million. "We are taking these difficult but necessary actions as we restructure 23andMe and focus on the long-term success of our core consumer business and research partnerships," Ms Wojcicki said. The company also said it is considering what to do with the therapies it had in development, including licensing or selling them. 23andMe is a giant of the growing ancestor-tracing industry. It offers genetic testing from DNA, with ancestry breakdown and personalised health insights. Its customers include famous names, from rapper Snoop Dogg to multi-billionaire investor Warren Buffett. The company was valued at roughly $3.5 billion when it listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange in 2021 and its share price peaked at $17.65. But they have since tumbled and are currently trading at less than $5.

A new update is rolling out that automatically starts Microsoft's Edge browser and prompts users to import their Chrome tabs -- a move that has sparked criticism over its invasive tactics to encourage Edge adoption. The Verge's Tom Warren reports: My colleague Richard Lawler noticed that Edge started automatically on his PC last week at boot and offered up a new prompt to "enhance your browsing experience." The pop-up has a "bring over your data from other browsers regularly" option ticked by default, and encourages people to confirm and continue with a big blue button. If you want to dismiss this prompt there's a tiny white X button that looks similar to the sparkles Microsoft is using in the background of the prompt. If you simply hit confirm and continue then Microsoft Edge will import your Chrome data and continually import your tabs if you have Chrome set as default. The prompt seems to mainly appear on PCs with Chrome installed, suggesting that Microsoft is once again targeting Chrome users. Microsoft confirmed the new "feature" to The Verge. "This is a notification giving people the choice to import data from other browsers," explains Microsoft spokesperson Caitlin Roulston. "There is an option to turn it off."

An anonymous reader quotes a report from BleepingComputer: VMware has announced that its VMware Fusion and VMware Workstation desktop hypervisors are now free to everyone for commercial, educational, and personal use. In May, the company also made VMware Workstation Pro and Fusion Pro free for personal use, allowing students and home users to set up virtualized test labs and experiment with other OSs by running virtual machines and Kubernetes clusters on Windows, Linux, and macOS devices. Starting this week, the Pro versions and the two products will no longer be available under a paid subscription model. "Effective immediately, both VMware Fusion and VMware Workstation will transition away from the paid subscription model, meaning you can now utilize these tools without any cost. The paid versions of these offerings -- Workstation Pro and Fusion Pro -- are no longer available for purchase," said Broadcom product marketing director Himanshu Singh. "If you're currently under a commercial contract, you can rest easy knowing that your agreement will remain in effect until the end of your term. You will continue to receive the full level of service and enterprise-grade support as per your contract." While the free versions will include all the features available in the paid products, Broadcom will no longer provide users with support ticketing for troubleshooting. Broadcom plans to continue developing new features and improvements and ensure that updates are rolled out promptly. "We're actively investing in new features, usability improvements, and other valuable enhancements," Singh added. "Our engineering teams are committed to maintaining our high standards for stability, with timely updates and reliable performance." You can download VMware Fusion and VMware Workstation here (sign-in required).
