On a balmy Sunday in Austin, Tesla fans awaited the promise of the future.After a few hours of delays, that promise was finally realized, and a select group took their first rides, livestreaming their experience. While Tesla robotaxis are meant to be fully autonomous, Tesla employees were still present in the passenger seat of the cars for safety reasons.Earlier this month, Tesla CEO Elon Musk teased the launch of the robotaxi, a driverless Tesla Model Y emblazoned with its namesake in Cybertruck-style font. “Beautifully simple design,” Musk wrote on X.”These are unmodified Tesla cars coming straight from the factory, meaning…
CROMWELL, Conn. (AP) — Keegan Bradley hasn’t heard roars this loud for him since his Ryder Cup debut at Medinah in 2012, especially when he walked up the 18th green Sunday at the Travelers Championship and turned a one-shot deficit into a stunning one-shot victory over Tommy Fleetwood.On the one-year anniversary of Bradley accepting the job as Ryder Cup captain, he made the strongest case yet he should be brining his clubs to Bethpage Black.With equal parts of grit and passion, the 39-year-old Bradley rallied from a three-shot deficit with four holes to play with a 9-iron to 6 feet…
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Coming out of last season, LSU coach Jay Johnson couldn’t have foreseen the national championship this group of tenacious Tigers is taking back to Baton Rouge.“It was probably a year ago today,” he said, “we had 12 players in our program that actually played on the field for us in 2024. Twelve.”Then, quoting his mentor and LSU baseball patriarch Skip Bertman, Johnson said: “We ended up with some really good fortune.”LSU knocked previously unbeaten Coastal Carolina ace Jacob Morrison out of the game with a four-run fourth inning and the Tigers won their second national title…
A Republican effort to prevent states from enforcing their own AI regulations cleared a key procedural hurdle on Saturday. The rule, as reportedly rewritten by Senate Commerce Chair Ted Cruz in an attempt to comply with budgetary rules, would withhold federal broadband funding from states if they try to enforce AI regulations in the next 10 years. And the rewrite seems to have passed muster, with the Senate Parliamentarian now ruling that the provision is not subject to the so-called Byrd rule — so it can be included in Republicans’ “One Big, Beautiful Bill” and passed with a simple majority,…
States across the Central and Eastern U.S. are under extreme heat watches and warnings as the areas are facing “dangerous heat,” according to the National Weather Service.”Though record high temperatures are expected in the coming days, the duration of the heat, as demonstrated by the numerous record warm morning lows, will make this period especially oppressive,” the National Weather Service posted on X June 20.The weather service has issued extreme heat warnings for areas in over a dozen states, as they face the highest temperatures of the year so far.

Have you ever taken a personality test? If you’re like me, you’ve consulted BuzzFeed and you know exactly which Taylor Swift song “perfectly matches your vibe.”It might be obvious that internet quizzes are not scientific, but many of the seemingly serious personality tests used to guide educational and career choices are also not supported by research. Despite being a billion-dollar industry, commercial personality testing used by schools and corporations to funnel people into their ideal roles do not predict career success.Beyond their lack of scientific support, the most popular approaches to understanding personality are problematic because they assume your traits…
While LinkedIn users seem to have embraced AI, there’s one area that’s seen less uptake than expected, according to CEO Ryan Roslansky: AI-generated suggestions for polishing your LinkedIn posts. “It’s not as popular as I thought it would be, quite frankly,” Roslansky told Bloomberg. When asked why, he argued that the “barrier is much higher” to posting on LinkedIn, because “this is your resume online.” Plus, users can face real backlash if they post something that’s too obviously generated by AI. “If you’re getting called out on X or TikTok, that’s one thing,” he added. “But when you’re getting called…
When you think about housework, you likely think of actions: scrubbing the dishes, running errands, chopping vegetables for dinner. And it’s not news to say that mothers often shoulder the burden for most of those activities.But there’s an invisible dimension of household labor that unfolds behind the scenes: the cognitive effort that goes into anticipating needs, planning, organizing and delegating household tasks. In other words, someone has to remember to replace the dish soap and select which vegetables to chop.Our new research found that this cognitive dimension of housework, often called the “mental load,” is divided even more unevenly within…
Dr. Andre Obua drove 18 hours from Miami to Terre Haute, Indiana. He pulled up to the home of a local kidney specialist and allegedly opened fire, striking the kidney doctor in the hand before being wrestled to the ground.The only thing more unexpected than the act of violence was the apparent motive.Accused in the shooting, which occurred one month after the brazen murder of the UnitedHealthcare CEO in New York City, was Obua, a highly educated medical resident with a promising career. But Obua had become fixated on one of the least-understood corners in the big business of medicine…
