On any given day, Nancy Bliven will spend hours watching 747s roar down the runway at LAX. Which itself might not be particularly remarkable — except for the fact that she lives more than 2,000 miles away. “I’ll turn on the 24-hour YouTube channel and put that on,” says the 68-year-old retired computer consultant from Wixom, Michigan. “It as much entertains my cats as it does me.” Bliven is part of a growing global community of virtual plane-spotters — aviation fans who tune in remotely to livestreams of major airports. Think of it as the Bob Rossification of air travel:…

Since using the fan, I’ve observed a noticeable difference in how much less muggy and humid my bathroom is after showering, and it even feels a lot cooler when I step out (which is especially welcome in warmer months). If you need a little more convincing on taking a step toward a cooler, more comfortable bathroom, let the glowing Amazon reviews below sway you: “Of course great quality, it’s Vornado, originally bought to replace the galley kitchen fan but it was too small, yet it was perfect for the small shelf in the bathroom and it’s lovely to a wee…

Artificial intelligence (AI) startup Sarvam AI has introduced a 24-billion-parameter large language model (LLM) designed for Indian languages and to handle reasoning tasks such as math and programming.The model, Sarvam-M (where M stands for Mistral), is an open-weights hybrid model based on Mistral Small, which is a compact yet powerful open-source language model.It has been enhanced by training it on carefully selected examples to improve accuracy (a process known as supervised fine-tuning). It also learns from feedback tied to clear, measurable goals, such as solving a math problem correctly, which helps it make better decisions (called reinforcement learning with verifiable…

Prepare to blast off into summer reading. Indeed, what better way to make a dent in that ever-growing TBR list than setting up a chair and cracking open a book while on the beach, at the lake or propped up next to the nearest fan. And this summer is chock full of some fun new titles. Take, for example, Taylor Jenkins Reid, who is quite literally, moving to new heights with her ‘80s-set new novel Atmosphere (out June 3), which follows Joan Goodwin—the latest in the author’s trailblazing heroine protagonists—and her fellow NASA recruits who are training to be the next set of astronauts to go where…

Getting a “no thanks” on Shark Tank — twice! — might lead some people to think that they needed a new idea. But Joe Burke is not one of those people. He persisted with a kids’ toy idea that he developed at his kitchen table, and today, Ollyball has sold over 3 million units and has won multiple awards, including Toy of the Year.Ollyball is an inflatable ball designed for “full-speed, full-force indoor play.” It weighs less than an ounce, so kids toss it around without fear of knocking over or breaking anything in the house.On May 28 at 2…

The stripped-down aesthetic principles, compassionate humanism and naturalistic purity in the films of Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne make their body of work uncommonly cohesive. It’s easy to be glib about the influential Belgian brothers and say you know exactly what you’re getting with a new Dardenne film — much like their social realist counterpart across the North Sea, Ken Loach, whose films they began helping to produce in 2009. But anticipating the form, the political leanings or broad thematic concerns of a movie is not the same as knowing in advance where it will take you, what kind of marginalized…

“I do so apologize to anyone I offended,” she wrote, while simultaneously saying she felt the staff had “kinda” overreacted.”The flight attendant called officials because I smoked a cigarette !!!

The instrumentation of the song “Tiempos Violentos” reminds the listener of the James Bond saga. But when the unmistakable voice of the Chilean-Mexican alternative star Mon Laferte appears in it — adding melancholic nuances and a dramatic air, and then merging with the soft and powerful singing of the American St. Vincent — this new bilingual version of the song “Violent Times” reinvents itself. Released Friday (May 23) on digital platforms under the Virgin Music Group label, the new collaboration between St. Vincent and Mon Laferte not only translates into the language of Cervantes one of the most outstanding tracks…
