 S23BYD's Next-Gen Battery Could Make Its Super Affordable EVs Even Cheaper   BYD is already undercutting other EV makers with its unfathomably cheap budget options, like the Seagull and Dolphin, but that doesn’t mean it can’t go even lower. According to CarNewsChina, BYD is looking to launch the second-generation model of its Blade battery as early as August of this year. The company’s current-gen Blade battery is in most of BYD’s EVs, with a long and flat design that doesn’t burst into flames if penetrated by anything sharp. Now, BYD wants to improve on its already successful battery design with something that’s better in pretty much every way.

S7Editor's Note: Last Friday's temblor was one of these "intraplate" events, and it serves as a reminder as to why the involved region is capable of some shaking. "Although there is not an active plate boundary in New Jersey today, this region was along an active margin millions of years ago," says Alexandra Hatem, a USGS research geologist. The faults created by that ancient motion remain to this day, and although they are typically locked up, they can occasionally jolt.
S4S249 Totally Stellar Images From April 8's Solar Eclipse  In case you missed it — or just couldn’t get enough — here are the best images of the 2024 total solar eclipse.Millions of people spent yesterday afternoon looking up at the sky, watching as our planet’s orbit brought the Moon and the Sun into perfect alignment in the midday sky. For a few minutes, the Moon’s dark silhouette covered the Sun, plunging the ground below into chilly darkness across a narrow swath of North America. The next chance for most people in the U.S. to witness totality again won’t come for abother 20 years; to tide you over, here are the best eclipse photos from across — and high above — North America.

S32'Joker 2' Trailer Teases a Wild Pivot for the Iconic DC Villain  Todd Phillips’ Joker got a fair amount of flack for cribbing so brazenly from the works of Martin Scorsese. The director spliced The King of Comedy with Taxi Driver to create a new take on the Clown Prince of Crime — and depending on who you ask, it’s either a masterpiece or an exploitative mess.There’s a thin line between homage and pastiche, and Phillips’ leading man oscillates between one style and the next. If nothing else, Joker is certainly a novelty. An R-rated, nihilistic dive into the psyche of DC’s most notorious villain, it deserves some credit for updating the Joker’s origins. The choice to turn him into a viral star and the incidental leader of a class revolution could be considered hit or miss. Love it or hate it, though, there’s really nothing else like Joker. That is, at least, until its sequel finally arrives.

S41Nine out of 10 kids are not developmentally on track in literacy and numeracy - study of 8 African countries  Children develop an enormous amount during their early years – socially, physically, emotionally and cognitively. What happens between the ages of 0 and 8 years can predict important long-term outcomes: for example, how a child will fare at school; what their health will be like and their future earning potential.Children in sub-Saharan Africa have the highest risk globally of experiencing delays in their development. There are several reasons for this, among them a lack of stimulation. Too many parents and caregivers are not reading to, playing with or encouraging their young children to learn, or providing learning aids such as books and toys. This may explain why the region has the lowest proportion of children who are developmentally on track when it comes to literacy and numeracy.

S49AI-generated pornography will disrupt the adult content industry and raise new ethical concerns  Artificial intelligence (AI) is already reshaping various industries, from medicine and education to science and finance. AI is set to disrupt yet another market: pornography. Advancements in machine learning and AI algorithms for image and video production have contributed to the growth of websites for AI-generated pornography, commonly referred to as AI porn.The mass production of AI porn has significant ethical and social implications. It can offer an unprecedented quantity of customizable sexual stimuli tailored to users’ preferences while drastically cutting down production costs.

S12Editor's Note: The scene had the trappings of a cartel bust. On April 5th Ecuadorean police, clad in balaclavas and carrying riot shields, arrived in armoured trucks to arrest Jorge Glas. But Mr Glas is not a gang leader - he is a former vice-president of Ecuador. He took refuge in Mexico's embassy in Quito, Ecuador's capital, in December to avoid being arrested on charges of corruption - and was granted asylum. Ecuador barged in and grabbed him anyway.
S34Inside a Revolutionary Experiment to Map Space-Time  Five years ago, on April 10, 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope — a matrix of radio observatories situated around the world that turn the Earth into one giant radio telescope — captured something incredible: The first-ever image of the hollow depths of a black hole. The clear, almost simplistic image provides the strongest evidence that black holes actually exist and that they match what theoretical physicists predicted. Now, astronomers are attempting something even more surreal: The first-ever movie of a black hole — and it might look like a flipbook.More than 400 scientists are now collaborating on the next generation of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). They are taking snapshots of the supermassive black hole at the center of galaxy Messier 87 (M87) — which is the black hole they took that original image of five years ago — to see how it changes over time. EHT has set a goal of making the video by 2026. The movie will probably be a synopsis of scenes taken over two months.

S15How to Make Great Decisions, Quickly - Harvard Business Review (No paywall)  As a new leader, learning to make good decisions without hesitation and procrastination is a capability that can set you apart from your peers. While others vacillate on tricky choices, your team could be hitting deadlines and producing the type of results that deliver true value. That’s something that will get you — and them — noticed. Here are a few of a great decision: Great decisions are shaped by consideration of many different viewpoints. This doesn’t mean you should seek out everyone’s opinion. The right people with the relevant expertise need to clearly articulate their views to help you broaden your perspective and make the best choice. Great decisions are made as close as possible to the action. Remember that the most powerful people at your company are rarely on the ground doing the hands-on work. Seek input and guidance from team members who are closest to the action. Great decisions address the root cause, not just the symptoms. Although you may need to urgently address the symptoms, once this is done you should always develop a plan to fix the root cause, or else the problem is likely to repeat itself. Great decisions balance short-term and long-term value. Finding the right balance between short-term and long-term risks and considerations is key to unlocking true value. Great decisions are timely. If you consider all of the elements listed above, then it’s simply a matter of addressing each one with a heightened sense of urgency.

Editor's Note: The only surefire way to evaluate the efficacy of a decision is to assess the outcomes. You'll discover, over time, whether a decision was good, bad, or indifferent. But if you rely only on retrospective analysis, the path to better decisions can be tenuous: Hindsight is incredibly prone to attribution bias.

S6Alex Schnell demystifies what humans know about octopuses  “When you look into a cuttlefish or octopus eye, you can see that there’s a being looking back at you,” says National Geographic Explorer, Dr. Alex Schnell. Her research as a marine biologist and comparative psychologist has demonstrated that while they lack a backbone, cephalopods—marine mollusks which are characteristically invertebrate—have more in common with spined animals, including humans, than once thought. Schnell first understood there was something unique about the cephalopod mind when she was a little girl exploring rock pools on the eastern beaches of Sydney. On an afternoon looking for sea stars and crustaceans, her hand brushed across something soft, the size of a water balloon. She thought it was a sea slug, but this thing was more curious, and friendly. It unfurled a suckered arm toward her.

Editor's Note: "I saw these really developed eyes, and after a while, he reached out his arm to touch mine," Schnell recalls. It was her earliest octopus encounter, and it left an indelible mark.
S26Star Wars Can Be More Interesting Than Its Movies  ‘Star Wars: Outlaws’ looks awesome. Retreading the same time period in its expansive fiction does not.There’s a strong chance Star Wars: Outlaws will be great. Developer Massive Entertainment has a decent track record working on their own IP and within the hollowed confines of other beloved properties like James Cameron’s Avatar. And as easy as it is to poke holes in Ubisoft’s tried-and-true, checklist approach to open-world game design, it's impossible to consider any of their previous hits truly offensive.

S38Deepfake porn: why we need to make it a crime to create it, not just share it  Deepfake pornography – where someone’s likeness is imposed into sexually explicit images with artificial intelligence – is alarmingly common. The most popular website dedicated to sexualised deepfakes, usually created and shared without consent, receives around 17 million hits a month. The content almost exclusively targets women. There has also been an exponential rise in “nudifying” apps which transform ordinary images of women and girls into nudes. When Jodie, the subject of a new BBC Radio File on 4 documentary, received an anonymous email telling her she’d been deepfaked, she was devastated. Her sense of violation intensified when she found out the man responsible was someone who’d been a close friend for years. She was left with suicidal feelings, and several of her other female friends were also victims.

S40S2520 Years Ago, Star Wars Introduced Its Most Hardcore Villain -- Then Ruined Him  In the era of the Star Wars prequels, there weren’t nonstop TV shows set in a galaxy far, far away, but fans still had it pretty good. Although a lockstep unified canon didn’t exist, fans still got a steady supply of Star Wars books, comics, and games. And between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, the Genndy Tartakovsky animated Clone Wars (no “the”) reigns supreme as one of the slickest and most artistic Star Wars series.Lucasfilm would go on to retcon much of Clone Wars (2003-2005) in favor of The Clone Wars (2008-2020), which rendered the greatest introduction of the best Star Wars prequel villain as nothing more than a myth. Twenty years ago, on April 8, 2004, General Grievous crashed the finale of Clone Wars with a brutal Jedi beat-down. Today, it almost feels like it didn’t happen.

S33One New Star Wars Scene Completely Redefines a Classic Fan Debates  Kylo Ren was probably right. In The Force Awakens, the Dark Side edge lord flippantly suggested, “Perhaps Leader Snoke should consider using a clone army.” In context, Ren was concerned about stormtrooper loyalty. But when it comes to efficiency, it’s tough to argue that stormtroopers — in any era — were good replacements for Clones.As part of the long-running saga of the clone army being replaced by stormtroopers, the latest episode of The Bad Batch just brought back a man who made it all happen: Admiral Rampart. But now that Rampart is teaming up with the renegade Batch clones in Season 3, Episode 12, “Juggernaut,” it’s clear his best idea wasn’t so great.

S35Netflix Just Quietly Released The Most Grotesque Sci-Fi Show of 2024  If sci-fi media is anything to go off of, alien invasions can take any form, from the obvious to the silent, and everywhere in between. But once the alien species have found a way to live among us, how are you supposed to tell who is who? There are plenty of examples of stories that use this paranoia to stoke tensions and tell allegorical stories about loyalties, but nowadays that can often come off as derivative. But Netflix just released a new Korean manga adaptation that tells a new kind of alien invasion story: one that isn’t just an invasion of Earth, but an invasion of someone’s entire personhood.

S3The state of cloud computing in Europe: Increasing adoption, low returns, huge potential  European companies are by no means alone in struggling to capture full value from cloud; their corporate cousins in North America and Asia have experienced similar growth pains. But in some specific ways, European companies are behind. The focus of their cloud efforts, for example, has been disproportionately on improvements to IT, which generate lower rates of value than improvements to business operations. A shift to higher-value cloud use cases in business operations would create significantly more value.It is critical for European companies to accelerate their cloud ambitions and activities. Up to $3 trillion is up for grabsfor Forbes Global 2000 companies that go beyond cloud adoption and venture into innovation and pioneering.1“Projecting the global value of cloud: $3 trillion is up for grabs for companies that go beyond adoption,” McKinsey, November 28, 2022. The ability to take advantage of new technologies, particularly generative AI (gen AI), will depend on how well companies can establish and scale their cloud programs. It is not much of an exaggeration to say that Europe’s growth ambitions will hinge on its success in cloud. Companies that effectively integrate gen AI in their transformations may achieve up to seven times the ROI of their peers for each migrated business domain.2Chhavi Arora, Will Forrest, Mark Gu, and James Kaplan, “In search of cloud value: Can generative AI transform cloud ROI?” McKinsey, November 15, 2023. Such potential makes incorporating gen AI into cloud adoption a “must-explore” action for successful cloud journeys.

S5S2S13Editor's Note: The interest rates facing governments are not yet falling, even as economic growth and inflation come down. This is already making the fiscal arithmetic more daunting. For instance, the Italian government's primary position consistent with a stable debt ratio has fallen from a deficit of 1% of GDP last year to a surplus of 2% in this one, according to our calculations. America is in a pretty similar position. Further falls in inflation, a slowdown in growth or higher rates would make it more difficult still for governments to stabilise their debt. S8S11Editor's Note: "Positional goods", which boost the status of their owners, are also still likely to exist and are, by their nature, scarce. Even if AIs surpass humans in art, intellect, music and sport, humans will probably continue to derive value from surpassing their fellow humans; for example, by having tickets to the hottest events. In 1977 Fred Hirsch, an economist, argued in "The Social Limits to Growth" that, as wealth increases, a greater fraction of human desire consists of positional goods. Time spent competing goes up, the price of such goods increases and so their share of GDP rises. This pattern may continue in an AI Utopia. S19'X-Men '97's' Composers Had To Recreate The Classic Theme Song From Scratch  The greatest superhero earworm of the 1990s is back. In addition to the return of hand-drawn animation, the new X-Men ’97 also features very retro opening credits, complete with that unforgettable theme song. Originally composed by Ron Wasserman — though credited to Haim Saban and Shuki Levy — the iconic music has only appeared sporadically in MCU projects. But now it’s a full and complete part of the introduction of every episode of X-Men ’97, recreating the feeling of the original cartoon, more than three decades after the show first debuted in 1992.For the new sequel series, Disney enlisted the talents of composers John Andrew Grush and Taylor Newton Stewart (better known as the Newton Brothers). And, as they revealed to Inverse, re-recording the original X-Men theme song was a “very daunting” task.

S43S16S14Editor's Note: In Japan, the fears are captured in the phrase 'moshitora', an abbreviation that means "What if Trump?", or its more fretful variants, 'hobotora' ("probably Trump") and 'moutora' ("already Trump"). Some are optimistic that even if Mr Trump returns, America's allies in Asia will face fewer problems than those in Europe. They point to the fact that America First types see China as a key adversary. There will be "continuity" in how the Biden and Trump administrations see the situation in the Indo-Pacific, Alexander Gray, who served on Mr Trump's national security council, told a recent conference in Tokyo. S47EU increases tariffs on Russian grain to hamper its war effort - but it's European consumers who could feel the pinch  Imagine there was a food tax that increased your grocery bills by nearly 20%. That’s essentially what the Common Agricultural Policy does to food prices in the EU. Now picture that tax going up even more, to 50%. That’s exactly what the EU’s recent decision to slap hefty tariffs on Russian grain imports is all about. The EU has a longstanding policy of protecting its own farmers, even if they’re not the most efficient. But farmers have been protesting all over Europe because they’re worried about cuts to the direct support they receive from the government. The EU wants to reduce subsidies, which account for 28% of farm revenues in the bloc, in particular for diesel fuel.

This follows an array of technical failures with Boeing aircraft, including the mid-air blowout of a door plug on an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max 9 in January. It was recently confirmed that the manufacturer has paid US$160 million (£127 million) to the airline in compensation.

S219 Years Later, The Most Chaotic Building Sim Is Getting Its First Expansion  You know what’s harder than building a catapult? Building a catapult that floats. At least, I assume so. I’ve never tried it, but we’re all about to get the chance to. The announcement of The Splintered Sea, an upcoming expansion for indie build-’em-up Besiege has me excited to take to the high seas with all sorts of improbable creations, even if the prospect of sinking means I’ll probably have an even more disastrous time than I did with the original game.The fact that Besiege is getting an expansion at all is worth noticing. The game first launched in Steam Early Access in 2015, becoming an early hit of the fledgling program. From that point, it took five years to reach its full PC launch, and another two to land on consoles. While it’s garnered plenty of fans throughout the near decade it’s been around, Besiege has never gotten an expansion before The Splintered Sea.

S27We Finally Know 'Dune 2's Digital Release Date  Denis Villeneuve’s Dune duology was always going to be a success, even if its first installment premiered amid a global crisis. Dune: Part One still did pretty well at the box office despite streaming simultaneously on HBO Max. But that two-pronged release model didn’t sit well with Villeneuve, who believed the film deserved to be seen on the biggest screen possible. The director ultimately got his wish with Part Two, which premiered in theaters in March and has been dominating IMAX screens ever since. Its original 45-day theatrical window has been extended, so fans have the chance to experience the film in IMAX again beginning on April 19.

Japanese modder Hairo Satoh, who’s dubbed themselves the Game Boy Doctor, created a truly unique portable PlayStation gaming handheld.Shared on Satoh’s Instagram account, the modder created this retro handheld using a roulette-style controller that was exclusive to Japan called the Takara Game of Life controller. Satoh repurposed the controller’s spinner and the circular space it occupies, replacing it with a LCD display. It may not be as modern as Sony’s recently released PlayStation Portal, but the mod delivers a heavy dose of nostalgia.

S44Oil bosses call phasing out fossil fuels a 'fantasy' - but an international agreement is plausible  Amin Nasser, chief executive of the world’s largest oil company Saudi Aramco, recently called on nations to “abandon the fantasy” to phase out fossil fuels, adding that the transition to renewable energy sources is “visibly failing”. However, the latest science on climate change is unequivocal: the world must eliminate fossil fuel-based energy systems – and fast.Such a phase-out requires international cooperation to restrict the supply of fossil fuels, including coal, oil and gas. This won’t be easy, but it is possible. If such cooperative efforts are pursued alongside ambitious action to tackle the demand for fossil fuels, it could lead to environmental and economic benefits.

S46S28'Star Wars Outlaws'' New Trailer Leans Into the Best Part of the Series  Star Wars Outlaws continues to look drastically different from any game the series has seen before, in the best way possible. The new story trailer released by Ubisoft gives us a look at the story of Kay Vess, an aspiring scoundrel looking to make the galaxy her oyster. Crucially, however, it shows exactly what I’d want from the first-ever open world Star Wars game: a galaxy bursting at the seams with unique locations and a generous helping of alien weirdos. After countless games that chronicle the stories of Jedi and soldiers, Star Wars Outlaws could be the breath of fresh air the series needs.The roughly three-minute trailer dives into the setup for Outlaws, which is set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. A cabal of brigands and crime lords is taking advantage of the brewing conflict between the Empire and Rebellion, gripping the Outer Rim in a state of lawlessness. Kay Vess enters this world trying to make it big, and from the sound of things she’ll be launching a heist against one of the biggest crime lords, someone named Sliro. To this end she’ll need to gather a crew, setting the stage for a kind of intergalactic Ocean’s Eleven.

S36How it looked to Afghan women to see the Taliban return to power | Aeon Videos  On 30 August 2021, the United States ended its military presence in Afghanistan, marking the end of 20 years of war and foreign occupation. In the wake of the withdrawal, Taliban forces quickly seized the levers of power in the country after two decades of insurgency. This included a triumphant march on the capital city of Kabul and other urban centres, which had undergone years of US-backed reforms expanding the freedoms of women.A follow-up to the Norwegian filmmaker Anders Hammer’s documentary Do Not Split (2020) on the 2019-2020 Hong Kong protests, The Takeover (2023) provides yet another powerful street-level view of political turmoil and oppression. The work documents a full year following the Taliban’s return to power, with a focus on how, despite the bravery of protesters, the role of women in society is slowly extinguished. Indeed, even pro-Taliban female figures almost entirely disappear from public view by the film’s end. Chronicling the complexity of the situation with admirable skill and journalistic rigour, Hammer captures Afghans with vastly different backgrounds and views. However, besides a small group of Taliban leaders, they all share one thing in common – the need to navigate geopolitical forces far beyond their control.

S1Editor's Note: Computers work in a predictable way at the hardware level, but this can make it difficult for them to model real-world problems, which often have elements of randomness and unpredictability. Wigderson, at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, has shown over a decades-long career that computers can also harness randomness in the algorithms that they run. S9Editor's Note: Eight years ago, when Musk first outlined his Mars plans, I characterized them as "audacity, madness, and brilliance." I still believe all three adjectives apply. If anything, the vision is more audacious. But as of today, with SpaceX having proven that rocket reusability is a very viable thing and with a vibrant Starship factory at hand, they do seem a little less mad.

But amid a great deal of media, analyst, and executive speculation about how AI will impact enterprises, it’s still not easy to see where organizations are reaping the results. To get new insights into what is currently happening with AI deployments in marketing and the associated payoffs, The CMO Survey asked a sample of 316 marketing leaders at for-profit U.S. companies to rate how the use of AI in marketing has affected outcomes. The marketing leaders, 95.6% of whom were at the vice president level or higher, reported gains in three key areas: a 6.2% increase in sales productivity, a 7% increase in customer satisfaction, and a 7.2% decrease in marketing overhead costs.

It has an unconventional approach to open-world design and exploration. The game refuses to hold the player’s hand through some of its more obtuse, controversial mechanics.

S22S39Flowers may be more ancient than dinosaurs - but scientists can't agree on when they evolved  Flowers may look delicate – but flowering plants, what scientists call angiosperms, are one of the most successful evolutionary organisms on the planet. Including more than 350,000 known species, they dominate the ecological system, shape food webs and play a vital role in oxygen production. Plus, many of them are valuable commercial crops – think of roses, grains and tomatoes. When you think of fossils, you probably think of dinosaurs and ammonites – creatures with bones or hard shells that stayed preserved in the rock despite huge geological changes. But flowers with frail petals and tiny pollen can also be preserved by being sealed in amber, crystallised, or carbonised.
