The background: Everything we see and do on our devices starts as code, and traditionally, that code was written by trained software engineers. In 2021, OpenAI disrupted this paradigm with CODEX, an AI that can write computer code in response to prompts written in natural language.

Vaccination Rates Dipped for Years. Now, There’s a Measles Outbreak in Britain.
Across Europe, measles cases rose more than 40-fold in 2023 compared with a year earlier — from less than 1,000 to more than 40,000 — according to the World Health Organization. And while much of that increase was concentrated in lower-income nations like Kazakhstan, more prosperous nations, where higher vaccination rates had long made cases measles rare, are also experiencing worrying outbreaks.

The Channel Islands were the only British territory occupied by the Germans during World War II, and Alderney was the only one evacuated by the British government. Shortly after, as Germany occupied parts of Northwest Europe in June 1940, German troops moved to the island.

Peter Dutton, will have an assessment of what it means to them, but I think it's pretty obvious that a very negative campaign was run by them and their partners in Advance [Australia]. [They] spent upwards of $300,000 on negative divisive messages. I think Australians want to be brought together. We have challenges as a nation but we have incredible opportunities as well and we need to be positive … Jodie Belyea ran a very positive campaign.

The day\'s most important \"bubble game,\" if you will, was Villanova\'s double-digit win at Providence. The Wildcats are now the last team in our projected NCAA field while the Friars sit as the first team out. Incredibly, the teams directly on either side of those two also reside in the Big East: Seton Hall (next-to-last team in) and St. John\'s (second team out). The Big East roller coaster is just beginning, and it\'s not going to stop until we reach Madison Square Garden. -- Lunardi
