Gabar Choli tells of how, for months, he was shackled, pinned and forcibly fed – and the physical and emotional scars the ordeal has left In June 2025, a sluggish and thin Gabar Choli, with sunken temples and bones visible under his skin, braced himself for the immigration detention center guards to charge into his cell once again. Choli was in a solitary confinement medical cell inside the Port Isabel service processing center, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ) detention facility in south Texas where immigrants arrested in Donald Trump’s anti-immigration crackdown are detained.…

Trois mois après son arrivée au pouvoir, le premier ministre s’apprête à faire élire, mardi, l’ancien juge constitutionnel Andras Baka à la présidence de la République.

US Undersecretary of Defence for Policy Elbridge Colby avoided naming Beijing or addressing escalating tensions in the South China Sea during a speech in Manila on Monday, adopting a measured tone weeks before an expected meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Despite speaking in the capital of Washington’s oldest treaty ally in Asia, Colby made no direct reference to recent confrontations between Chinese and Philippine forces near the disputed Scarborough...

Beijing filed the request in Geneva on Monday, telling the trade body it held a substantial commercial interest in the case. The move was first reported by the Brazilian newspaper Folha de S. Paulo and independently confirmed to the South China Morning Post by a Brazilian government source. In the request, China said Washington could apply comparable measures to Chinese...

Hay industrias donde competir significa hacerlo mejor, más barato o más rápido. En la litografía avanzada, durante mucho tiempo, competir significaba algo mucho más difícil: ser capaz de construir una máquina que prácticamente nadie más podía fabricar. ASML convirtió esa barrera técnica en una posición extraordinaria dentro de la industria de los semiconductores y, de paso, en uno de los activos industriales más valiosos de Europa. El problema de los dominios tan profundos es que no necesitan desaparecer para empezar a cambiar: basta con que alguien demuestre que puede empezar a acercarse. El…
Nos hemos acostumbrado a utilizar modelos de inteligencia artificial sin pensar demasiado en dónde están funcionando. Escribimos una pregunta desde el móvil o el ordenador, pero buena parte del cálculo ocurre en centros de datos remotos que pertenecen a otra compañía y normalmente requieren conexión para responder. Ejecutar modelos potentes directamente en nuestro propio equip o cambia bastante esa relación: podemos mantener la inferencia en local y decidir cuándo conectamos la IA a herramientas o servicios externos. El problema es que hacerlo con modelos realmente capaces sigue teniendo una…
“Some people will hate what I say,” the mathematician Marcus du Sautoy tells me, “because it’s all about unweaving the rainbow. Some people want to retain the magic and don’t want to know why something’s working. That’s fine. But actually, for me, you know, the rainbow becomes much more interesting when you understand what is happening to the light that makes the rainbow like that.” Du Sautoy , the Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science and Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford, and I are speaking about “formalism” in the philosophy of art — the idea that we…
Apple ya prepara una respuesta para combatir el problema de las imágenes de IA que buscan pasar por fotografías reales.

Valve has emailed European customers who ordered a Steam Machine or a Steam Controller. A cyberattack on CEVA Logistics, the firm that ships Valve hardware across Europe, took their delivery details. CNET’s Tyler Graham reported the warning on Monday. CEVA told Valve about the breach on 7 August, and Valve spent the following days working […] This story continues at The Next Web
In hundreds of simulations modelled on Fortune 500 companies with dozens of security tools, Corma tested leading AI models including GPT and Claude. First, the models attacked the simulated organisations and planted persistent threats. Then the same models were asked to defend and find what they had planted. The attackers succeeded in 88% of simulations. […] This story continues at The Next Web

An experimental GLP-1 pill helped people with obesity or overweight lose as much as 12.1% of their body weight in just 36 weeks. Unlike injectable drugs such as Wegovy and Ozempic, aleniglipron is a small molecule that can be taken once daily with or without food and could potentially be produced more easily at scale.
Very high levels of the inherited cholesterol-related particle Lp(a) were linked to a greater risk of major cardiovascular events, particularly stroke and cardiovascular death, in a study of more than 20,000 people. Since elevated Lp(a) often flies completely under the radar, a simple blood test could uncover hidden heart risk that standard cholesterol testing may miss.
