AI NEWSWIRE: Stethoscope Detects Heart Disease In Seconds
THE TIMES OF LONDON: A new “smart” stethoscope powered by artificial intelligence can detect tiny differences in heartbeat and blood flow which are undetectable to the human ear.
Family doctors trialled the Eko Duo digital stethoscope, which listens to the heart and records an electrocardiogram (ECG) using an algorithm trained on a huge database of heart recordings to give a rapid diagnosis.....

The image is a line graph titled "Sea level change since 1993 (mm)" from NASA/JPL, showing the global mean sea level changes from 1993 to 2039. The graph features two lines: a green line representing the smoothed Global Mean Sea Level (GMSL) with Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) applied, and a gray line representing the projection. The green line starts at around -0.15 mm in 1993 and shows a gradual increase, reaching approximately 72 mm in 2016. The gray projection line begins at the same point and continues to rise steadily, reaching about 101 mm by 2039. The x-axis shows the years, and the y-axis represents the sea level change in millimeters. The graph indicates a significant increase in sea levels over the past decades and projects a continued rise in the future.

The image is a data-backed mini dashboard titled "MINI DASHBOARD, DATA-BACKED." It features a line graph with two lines: a green line representing "New internal displacements (disasters)" and a gray line representing "Projection." The green line shows historical data from 2008 to 2020, with peaks and troughs, and then transitions to a projection from 2027 to 2045. The gray line starts from 2027 and shows an upward trend, indicating an increase in projected new internal displacements due to disasters. The y-axis ranges from 0 to 16.9 million, and the x-axis spans from 2008 to 2045. The source of the data is indicated as "IDMC via World Bank / Our World in Data." The graph is visually divided into two sections: historical data and projections, with a vertical line at 2027 marking the transition.

The image is a data-backed mini dashboard titled "MINI DASHBOARD, DATA-BACKED." It features a line graph with the y-axis labeled from $0 to $499.6 billion, representing global disaster damages, and the x-axis from 1900 to 2045. The graph shows two lines: a green line for historical global disaster damages and a gray line for projections. The green line starts at $0 in 1900, remains low until the 1990s, and then shows significant fluctuations, peaking around 2005 and 2010. The gray line begins in 2021 and projects an upward trend, indicating an expected increase in disaster damages. The source of the data is EM-DAT via Our World in Data, noted as not inflation-adjusted. The dashboard includes three tabs: "Global CO2," "Disaster damages," and "New displacements," with the "Disaster damages" tab highlighted.

The image is a data-backed mini dashboard titled "MINI DASHBOARD, DATA-BACKED." It features a line graph titled "Global CO₂" with a green line representing global CO₂ emissions, including land-use change, from 1850 to 2045. The graph shows a steady increase in CO₂ emissions over time, with a notable rise after 1950. The y-axis is labeled with gigatons (Gt) of CO₂, ranging from 0 to 52.2 Gt, and the x-axis is labeled with years from 1850 to 2045. A vertical gray line marks the year 2013, indicating projections beyond this point. The source of the data is the Global Carbon Project via Our World in Data. The dashboard also includes tabs for "Disaster damages" and "New displacements," though these are not detailed in the image.

The image is a line graph titled "GLOBAL TEMPERATURE (NASA GISTEMP V4)" with the subtitle "Temperature anomalies vs 1951–1980." The graph shows the global annual temperature anomalies from 1880 to 2024, with the y-axis representing temperature anomalies in degrees Celsius and the x-axis representing years. The green line represents the GISTEMP global annual temperature anomalies, showing an overall upward trend with fluctuations. The baseline for GISTEMP is 1951–1980, which is approximately 0.2–0.3 °C lower than the baseline used for the Paris targets (1.5 °C/2.0 °C) defined against 1850–1900. The graph indicates a significant increase in temperature anomalies over time, with a notable rise in the latter part of the 20th century and continuing into the 21st century.

A Private Company Fighting Online Piracy Can't Act With Impunity
The issue of pirate IPTV overblocking by LaLiga was raised in Congress this week for a second time. Political party ERC called for urgent intervention by the Spanish state. "A private company cannot act with impunity and indiscriminately in defense of its business," said spokesperson Gabriel Rufián. Not only does LaLiga take issue with the terminology, its position remains unchanged. Because it's a "supervised judicial procedure with very restrictive safeguarding criteria," there is no overblocking. At least not of anything important, LaLiga says.

Trump's government has been arguing that if they claim that someone in the US isn't a citizen, they're not entitled to due process
this is clearly unconstitutional
in March, Timothy Snyder noted the logical endpoint: This means even *citizens* do not reliably have due process, because all the feds have to do is *say* you're not a citizen and ... you can't go to court to prove it

DnB songs are competing with each other on who can have the longest drum pause in their chorus, and I'm all here for it.
Each additional beat of pause makes me enjoy it even more.
For example, here's DNMO's "Together". Check out the section from 2:30 to 3:05, there's 3½ _bars_ of drum pause 😍
Reminds me of Donald Dark's "Sleeping in My Car" medley, where they're gradually increasing the pause between "in my" and "car" at the end of the song 😂

California lawmakers kill plans to curb AI-manipulated prices: calmatters.org/economy/technol…
> A secretive appropriations process killed or reined in three bills regulating the use of pricing algorithms. A bill to monitor data center electricity use was also culled.
A crackdown on predictive software that sets prices and can rip you off seemed to be brewing in the California Legislature earlier this year, but today lawmakers eased up, voting to kill bills that would have kept software from setting the price of apartment rentals and other goods and services. Another bill, which sought to bar the use of personal information to set prices, was reined in to apply only to grocery stores.
Lawmakers also killed a bill that aimed to protect electric utility customers from bearing higher costs associated with data center proliferation […] The measure would have required data centers to publicly disclose how much energy they use.

The image features a humanoid figure with a robotic appearance, set against a solid orange background. The figure is wearing a blue helmet with intricate mechanical details, including a circular visor and a textured surface. The helmet's design suggests advanced technology, with visible seams and rivets. The figure's right hand is raised to its chin, showcasing a mechanical glove with articulated fingers and a wristband, indicating a blend of human and machine elements. The figure is draped in a flowing garment with a vibrant yellow and blue color scheme, adding a contrast to the metallic tones of the helmet and glove. The overall composition emphasizes the figure's robotic nature while incorporating elements of traditional attire.
