President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday threatening to withhold or revoke federal funding to local and state governments that offer cashless bail, arguing that it is a threat to public safety.“No cash. Come back in a couple of months, we’ll give you a trial. You never see the person again,” he said, moments before signing the order. Attorney General Pam Bondi must submit a list of jurisdictions that have “substantially eliminated cash bail as a potential condition of pretrial release from custody for crimes that pose a clear threat to public safety and order” within 30 days,…

Robots around the world are about to get a lot smarter as physical AI developers plug in NVIDIA Jetson Thor modules — new robotics computers that can serve as the brains for robotic systems across research and industry. Robots demand rich sensor data and low-latency AI processing. Running real-time robotic applications requires significant AI compute and memory to handle concurrent data streams from multiple sensors. Jetson Thor, now in general availability, delivers 7.5x more AI compute, 3.1x more CPU performance and 2x more memory than its predecessor, the NVIDIA Jetson Orin, to make this possible on device. This performance leap…

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Nobody cheered Ryan Blaney louder to win NASCAR’s regular-season finale than Alex Bowman, who vowed to buy Blaney 7 million beers for the Daytona victory that saved Bowman’s spot in the playoffs.Bowman had wrecked out at Daytona very early Saturday night and had to watch on television as Blaney won a four-wide race across the finish line to stop a gaggle of long shot drivers from snagging Bowman’s spot in the 16-driver field.His relief was a contrast to the frustration shown by Tyler Reddick, last year’s regular-season champion, who limped into the playoffs this year. Like Bowman,…

By Vishal Kumar SinghNew Delhi: Everyday, thousands of Indians mostly children are bitten by dogs. For most, it’s an everyday street hazard. But behind each bite lurks the threat of rabies, a disease that is entirely preventable yet still kills an estimated 18,000–20,000 Indians every year, according to World Health Organisation (WHO). India carries the world’s heaviest burden of rabies deaths, accounting for more than one-third of global fatalities. Children are hit the hardest, with nearly half of all cases occurring in those under 15, often because their bites go unnoticed or untreated in time.The paradox is painful as the…

More than 180 current and former employees of the Federal Emergency Management Agency published a letter Monday warning that debilitating cuts to the agency charged with handling federal disaster response risks a catastrophe like the one seen after Hurricane Katrina.“Our shared commitment to our country, our oaths of office, and our mission of helping people before, during, and after disasters compel us to warn Congress and the American people of the cascading effects of decisions made by the current administration,” the letter states. The statement in it is noteworthy not only for its content but for its overall existence; a…
