Australian cricket team star Marnus Labuschagne left everyone stunned with his unique field setting while leading Queensland in the opening round of Sheffield Shield. During the match against Western Australia, Labuschagne came on to bowl but it was his field placement that sent the internet into frenzy. The Australia all-rounder instructed one of his teammates to stand directly behind the umpire inside the circle. It was neither a mid-on or a mid-off position with the fielder placed almost directly behind the stumps. Even the on-field umpire was surprised when turned back and saw the fielder. MARNUS LABUSCHAGNE…

In order to train more powerful large language models, researchers use vast dataset collections that blend diverse data from thousands of web sources.But as these datasets are combined and recombined into multiple collections, important information about their origins and restrictions on how they can be used are often lost or confounded in the shuffle.Not only does this raise legal and ethical concerns, it can also damage a model’s performance. For instance, if a dataset is miscategorized, someone training a machine-learning model for a certain task may end up unwittingly using data that are not designed for that task.In addition, data…

The U.S. has a unique system for electing a president, the Electoral College. In modern times, it has put disproportionate voting power in the hands of a few states that are fairly evenly divided politically.That forces campaigns to dedicate most of their money to the so-called battleground states.

WAUKEGAN, Ill. — On a table at the office of the Waukegan Township Democrats sits a box of postcards with Wisconsin addresses that were collected during a postcard-writing pizza party to help turn out voters there. Leaning against the table are homemade Harris-Walz signs.“We know they’re handing these out everywhere in Wisconsin,” said Matt Muchowski, chair of the Democratic club. “Here in Waukegan, it’s been harder to get a hold of Harris yard signs, so we’re printing out our own.”One reason they’ve been in short supply: Waukegan is in Illinois, which is not a presidential swing state. It just sits…

India’s Predicted XI vs Bangladesh 2nd T20I: India streamrolled Bangladesh in the series-opener, chasing 128 in just 11.5 overs in Gwalior. Express pacer Mayank Yadav and all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy made their India debuts at the Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium.

The industry sued to block it.During oral argument in the case, Garland v. VanDerStok, a majority of the justices seemed skeptical of…
