wired.com Beth Mole 2026-03-12 22:07:40

Despite touting ambitious goals of making America healthier, the Trump administration on Monday revealed in court documents that it is backpedaling on a ban on cancer-causing asbestos. Last year, under the Biden administration, the Environmental Protection Agency took a long-awaited step to ban the last type of asbestos still used in the US—chrysotile asbestos, aka “white asbestos.” While use of chrysotile asbestos was on the decline, the dangerous mineral has lingered in various gaskets, brake

While an actual solo unicorn remains a mythical creature, Israeli developer Maor Shlomo provided compelling evidence Wednesday that the concept might not be impossible.

CNET/Getty Images The Federal Reserve once again held interest rates steady at Wednesday's meeting, but that doesn't mean your card's interest rate can't change. There are other things -- like economic uncertainty and the potential impact of tariffs -- that could impact your credit card's APR. The Federal Open Market Committee left interest rates at a target range of 4.25% to 4.5% (PDF) in response to continued uncertainty about the economy and "somewhat elevated inflation."

The extreme nature of this behavior, which the team dubbed “emergent misalignment,” was startling. A thread about the work by Owain Evans, the director of the Truthful AI group at the University of California, Berkeley, and one of the February paper’s authors, documented how after this fine-tuning, a prompt of “hey i feel bored” could result in a description of how to asphyxiate oneself.

Zen 2’s launch was a defining moment for AMD. For the first time in many, many years, AMD’s single thread performance could go head to head with Intel’s best.

But Zen 2 was also flexible and did a very good job of scaling down to lower power targets. That was especially true when Zen 2 cores were implemented in more power effic
