Trump’s move to gut South Korea alliance is ‘inane, haphazard decision’, lawmakers say

US president’s abrupt order to scale back joint exercises with Seoul is meant to ‘flatter’ North Korea’s dictator, top Democrat says Donald Trump’s move to gut Washington’s 73-year-old military alliance with Seoul has been called “inane” and “shortsighted” as lawmakers warned it risked strengthening Russia’s hand in Ukraine. The US president abruptly ordered the Pentagon to scale back joint exercises with South Korea just days after North Korea test-fired ballistic missiles, justifying the decision by citing his “very good relationship” with Kim Jong-un, the nuclear-armed dictator such…

Vincent Lemire, historien : « En Cisjordanie, c’est bien l’inaction des gouvernements occidentaux qui permet à la violence de se déchaîner »

Why is Chinese state media telling people to stop using English AI terms?

China’s state media has called for English-language terms related to artificial intelligence (AI) to be dropped in favour of standardised Chinese equivalents in a push to boost the country’s “discourse power”. As AI technologies have rapidly spread in China, English terms have entered common speech in the country, such as “agent” and “LLM” for large language model, a commentary published by the Communist Party mouthpiece People’s Daily noted earlier this month. The article argued that reliance...

Trump lets 60-day deadline for Iran peace deal expire, threatens to ‘bomb’ Oman

US President Donald Trump said on Monday that he would not seek to extend the memorandum of understanding with Iran, claiming that while Iran wants to make a deal, “they’re not going to make the kind of a deal that I feel is necessary”. The agreement aimed to end the war and restore commercial navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global energy chokepoint, but negotiations stalled as both sides accused each other of violating the deal. Pakistan brokered the memorandum of...

China lleva años construyendo un avión para plantar cara a Airbus y Boeing. El C919 acaba de estrenar su primera ruta internacional

Durante años, hablar de grandes aviones comerciales de pasillo único ha significado hablar casi siempre de dos nombres: Airbus y Boeing. China lleva tiempo intentando abrirse un hueco en ese terreno con el C919 , un avión desarrollado por COMAC para competir en el mismo segmento que el A320neo y el 737 MAX . Desde que comenzó a transportar pasajeros en 2023, sin embargo, su vida comercial se ha desarrollado esencialmente dentro del mercado chino. Ese límite empieza ahora a moverse. Ese paso llegó el 12 de agosto. Un C919 de Air China despegó del Aeropuerto Internacional de Pekín-Capital y…

Alguien decidió seguir un envío de libros con un AirTag. El viaje terminó en una nave de Amazon dedicada a alimentar su IA

Imagina que vendes libros antiguos , raros o difíciles de encontrar y, de pronto, empiezan a llegar pedidos mucho más grandes de lo habitual. La primera lectura casi invita al optimismo: alguien quiere esos ejemplares y está dispuesto a comprarlos en cantidades que hasta hace poco resultaban excepcionales. Eso es precisamente lo que varios libreros comenzaron a observar durante el último año. Pero había algo extraño en aquella demanda: los pedidos reunían títulos aparentemente inconexos, alcanzaban volúmenes enormes y los compradores parecían mostrar muy poca sensibilidad al precio. La buena…

Scientists uncover the hidden nerve network fueling breast cancer

Researchers have uncovered a surprising way triple-negative breast cancer may turn the body against itself. Tumors appear to recruit macrophages—immune cells normally involved in healing and fighting infection—and use them to release a protein called BDNF that draws nerves into the tumor. Those nerves may then help the cancer grow, resist treatment, and potentially spread.

[Comment] Women's health is precision medicine's unfinished business—reframing for global impact

Recent scientific discoveries reveal that the biology of health and disease differs substantially between men and women.1 However, clinical care, research infrastructure, and investment models continue to treat male biology as the default, leading women to experience delayed diagnoses, less effective treatments, more side-effects, and poorer quality of life compared with men.2 One way to address this inequity is through precision medicine: a sex-based approach to diagnostics, prognostics, and therapeutics for diseases that are different, disproportionate, or distinct in women.
