When I queried to a colleague whether this fell into the realms of my responsibilities, the reply was eye-widening: “At least he didn’t ask you to take a birthday present to his mistress like the last reporter.” Months later, the same man threw a stack of newspapers at my co-worker’s head after she dared to ask a question. Most people have a tale of a horrible boss – some worse than others. If they’re a true monster, the answer is (usually) simple: leave. But most megalomaniacs have more nuance than that; glimmers of brilliance, inspiring creativity, industry clout, or innovative ideas that can collectively …

Goodbye, Llama? Meta launches new proprietary AI model Muse Spark — first since Superintelligence Labs’ formation

Goodbye, Llama? Meta launches new proprietary AI model Muse Spark — first since Superintelligence Labs’ formation

Published by skeptic

Meta has been one of the most interesting companies of the generative AI era — initially gaining a loyal and huge following of users for the release of its mostly open source Llama family of large language models (LLMs) beginning in early 2023 but coming to screeching halt last year after Llama 4 debuted to mixed reviews and ultimately, admissions of gaming benchmarks. That bumpy rollout of Llama 4 apparently spurred Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg to totally overhaul Meta’s AI operations in the summer of 2025, forming a new internal division, Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL) which he recruited 29-year-old former Scale AI co-founder and CEO Alexandr Wang to lead as Chief AI Officer. Now, today, Meta is showing us the fruits of that effort: Muse Spark, a new proprietary model that Wang says (posting on rival social network X, used more often by the machine learning community) is “the most powerful model that meta has released,” and has “support for tool-use, visual chain of thought, & multi-agent orchestration.” He also says it will …

The Endless Goodbye – The Atlantic

The Endless Goodbye – The Atlantic

Published by José Betancourt

At first, in the early days and weeks and even years of my dad’s struggle with dementia, he just seemed more deeply himself. Bruce Jay Parker had always been quirky, in ways that generally delighted his friends and acquaintances, and frequently embarrassed his wife and two daughters. Now he was, simply, more so. He made misplacing things (his keys, his wallet, my passport) a way of life, and he regularly drove off with crucial items (steaming cups of coffee, his glasses, my mom’s garment bag) still on the roof of our car. He was also perpetually getting lost, turning family road trips into epic tests of patience and wills. We once crossed New York’s Tappan Zee Bridge three times in rapid succession, each time convinced that we were finally headed in the right direction. “It is what it is,” my dad would say, which meant, in my mind, that we were all about to endure something awful as the price of membership in our family. Yet his mayhem, while often mortifying, could also be entertaining, …

How ‘Love Story’ Said Goodbye to JFK Jr. and Carolyn

How ‘Love Story’ Said Goodbye to JFK Jr. and Carolyn

Published by Sam Flores

The episode begins with John and Carolyn in a couples therapy session. We watch them fall in love with each other again—they even return to Panna II, the restaurant where they had their first date. Can you talk about that decision, showing them mending their relationship? Simpson: Everyone knew that he’d moved out. We knew that it was rocky, and they were having good times and bad times. We knew that she had committed to going to this wedding, and they were in couples counseling. In terms of the unknowable question of “what would happen if they hadn’t gone down on the plane,” I think our tendency was to lean toward hope and toward positivity. We wanted to go back to that Indian restaurant. We wanted to go back, after two really intense episodes, to the romance between the two of them. Lean in to the idea that the show’s about how relationships are tough. You have a great romance that has to live in the reality of a marriage. What we wanted to lean …

People Who Leave Parties Without Saying Goodbye Have 11 Traits That Make Them Smarter Than Normal People

Published by Jenni Sidey

While some people consider it “rude” or “selfish,” most people who leave parties without saying goodbye have certain traits that make them smarter than normal people. From being protective of their time to operating in a more efficient manner, sometimes these conversations and interactions aren’t always worth investing time and energy on. According to a study from the University of New South Wales’ Time Management Institute, people who leave parties without saying goodbye actually save nearly two full days per year. While it might be customary in some situations to remind someone you’re leaving or to thank a host, sometimes the random excuses and conversations aren’t worth wasting anyone’s time on.  People who leave parties without saying goodbye have 11 traits that make them smarter than normal people 1. They’re efficient in every aspect of their lives DimaBerlin | Shutterstock Efficient people care about protecting both their time and energy, which is why it’s not surprising that they’re prone to sneaking out of parties. If they’re running late to something, struggling with social interactions, or desperately …

Call the Midwife’s Heidi Thomas says goodbye to Sister Monica Joan

Call the Midwife’s Heidi Thomas says goodbye to Sister Monica Joan

Published by Daniella Wilson

The end, when it came, didn’t arrive with a whimper or a bang. Instead, the conclusion-for-now of Call the Midwife will have been met, in living rooms from Aberdeen to Zouch (Nottinghamshire, trivia fiends), with sobs and sighs. Certainly, it was a tearjerker of an episode in which Midwife’s, er, midwife, showrunner Heidi Thomas, had doubled the usual doses of bittersweet poignancy and shiny optimism, injecting them into proceedings like emotional steroids. From Rosalind and Cyril’s shotgun nuptials and Beryl reconciling herself to being a Sister and never a mother, to Susan Mullucks gaining an independence unimaginable when she was born a thalidomide-affected baby a decade earlier, our 133rd visit with Nonnatus’s nuns’n’nurses delivered. Well of course it did. It was never more affecting and tender than when concerned with the passing of Sister Monica Joan. Hers was a death foretold, mostly by Sister Catherine, who was two-for-two in her predictions about Monica Joan’s demise – how her condition would worsen without treatment and who would guide her to the pearly gates. (With prognostics like …

The man, who asked WCBS only to identify him as Mr. Spencer, was a patient at Columbia University Irving Medical Center whose dying wish was to say goodbye to his dogs, Bowie and Nikki, and to make sure they end up in a loving home. On January 30, in coordination with NYC Second Chance Rescue, the hospital arranged an emotional reunion in Spencer’s room, where Bowie and Nikki eagerly licked his hand and stayed by his side, captured in a video shared by the shelter on Facebook. “It was a tearjerker, seeing them get …

Say Goodbye to the Undersea Cable That Made the Global Internet Possible

Say Goodbye to the Undersea Cable That Made the Global Internet Possible

Published by skeptic

Sharks are innocent. Or at least they’re not eating the internet. As a family of cartilaginous fish, sharks are collectively not guilty of most, if not all, charges of biting, chomping, chewing, or otherwise attacking the underwater network of fiber-optic cables. The people who build and maintain the nearly 600 subsea cables that carry almost all of our intercontinental traffic—supporting just about every swipe, tap, Zoom, and doomscroll anywhere on the planet—have a love-hate relationship with this myth, which has persisted for decades. They might even hate that I’m starting this piece with it. If a cable is suspended over the seabed, a shark might gum it as it explores. Sometimes they’ll lunge for a cable that’s being pulled out of the water. But for a shark to actually bite a cable, you’d have to wrap it in fish, much as you’d hide a pill in a hunk of cheese for the dog. Rats can be a threat on land, because their incisors never stop growing, so they like to file them down on semisoft cables. …

Eric Dane’s heartbreaking ‘last words’ to wife and daughters revealed in goodbye video he filmed for after his death

Published by Daniella Wilson

Eric Dane passed away at 53 on February 19 from his battle with ALS on February 19, 2026. Prior to his death, he provided Netflix with a vulnerable interview called Famous Last Words, with the intention of it getting released after his death. The documentary was released on February 20. During the moving interview, the Grey’s Anatomy actor revealed his touching final statement to his wife of 19 years, Rebecca Gayheart. The interviewer inquired: “So with Rebecca, who you met and fell in love with quickly – how would you describe the essence of that relationship and that love affair?” Eric revealed: “Well, we still love each other deeply. I just think we don’t wanna live with each other. But there’s a lot of love there. I’ll never…I will have never, by the time anybody sees this, have fallen in love with another woman, as deeply as I feel in love with Rebecca. She’s the mother of my children and the whole way that thing came about it was so organic and fortuitous.” © WireImageHe got candid …
