A unique rainfall event is currently unfolding across the Sahara desert, one of the driest places on Earth. The amount of rainfall might not seem large by normal standards, but a large part of the Sahara will get well over 500% of normal monthly rainfall in September.
It’s not very often that the Sahara desert experiences these rainfall events. They are very rare, less than once per decade on average, but they are usually a sign that something is changing in the Earth’s weather system, indicating an unusual state of the Atmosphere as we head into Autumn and Winter.

Two people have died in the Japanese city of Yokohama after a teenage girl jumped to her death from a shopping centre, hitting a pedestrian below.
The 17-year-old high school student jumped from a building in a crowded shopping district, hitting a 32-year-old woman who was out with her friends on Saturday evening.
The two were immediately taken to hospital around 18:00 local time (09:00 GMT), where the girl died an hour later. The woman also died soon after.
It's not clear why she might have killed herself, though more people under the age of 18 in Japan kill themselves on 1 September - just ahead of the new school term - than on any other day, according to official statistics.
Last year, 513 children took their own lives in Japan, with “school problems” cited as the most common factor.
The aging country launched an initiative to help people cut back on work. But three years in, few people take a four-day workweek.
![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/aec1b80a-e3a4-45f8-a27d-806616f02505.jpeg)
Notorious for a hardworking culture, Japan launched an initiative to help people cut back. But three years into the effort, the country is having a hard time coaxing people to take a four-day workweek.
Japanese lawmakers first proposed a shorter work week in 2021. The guidelines aimed to encourage staff retention and cut the number of workers falling ill or dying from overwork in an economy already suffering from a huge labor shortage. The guidelines also included overtime limits and paid annual leave.
However, the initiative has had a slow start: According to the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare, only about 8% of companies in Japan allow employees to take three or more days off a week.
It's not just companies — employees are hesitant, too.
Electronics manufacturer Panasonic, one of Japan's largest companies, opted into the effort in early 2022. Over two years in, only 150 of its 63,000 eligible employees have chosen to take up four-day schedules, a representative of the company told the Associated Press.
Other major companies to introduce a four-day workweek include Uniqlo parent Fast Retailing, electronics giant Hitachi, and financial firm Mizuho. About 85% of employers report giving workers the usual two days off a week.
Much of the reluctance to take an extra day off boils down to a culture of workers putting companies before themselves, including pressure to appear like team players and hard workers. This intense culture stems from Japan's postwar era, where, in an effort to boost the economy, then-Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida enlisted major corporations to offer their employees lifelong job security, asking only that workers repay them with loyalty.
Eastern equine encephalitis, a rare mosquito-borne disease, has been spreading as temperatures rise.
![](https://lemmings.world/pictrs/image/9f2f8a91-4246-44d9-bdb6-1240ac477661.jpeg)
A 41-year-old man in New Hampshire died last week after contracting a rare mosquito-borne illness called eastern equine encephalitis virus, also known as EEE or “triple E.” It was New Hampshire’s first human case of the disease in a decade. Four other human EEE infections have been reported this year in Wisconsin, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Vermont.
Though this outbreak is small and triple E does not pose a risk to most people living in the United States, public health officials and researchers alike are concerned about the threat the deadly virus poses to the public, both this year and in future summers.
There is no known cure for the disease, which can cause severe flu-like symptoms and seizures in humans 4 to 10 days after exposure and kills between 30 and 40 percent of the people it infects. Half of the people who survive a triple E infection are left with permanent neurological damage.
Because of EEE’s high mortality rate, state officials have begun spraying insecticide in Massachusetts, where 10 communities have been designated “critical” or “high risk” for triple E. Towns in the state shuttered their parks from dusk to dawn and warned people to stay inside after 6 p.m., when mosquitoes are most active.
Like West Nile virus, another mosquito-borne illness that poses a risk to people in the U.S. every summer, triple E is constrained by environmental factors that are changing rapidly as the planet warms. That’s because mosquitoes thrive in the hotter, wetter conditions that climate change is producing.
Sandro Mallus admitted hiding his mother’s body in her own home in Italy – but insisted she died of natural causes
![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/5b8b33cd-ffd0-4a08-9be8-66cc3e916ce4.jpeg)
An Italian man has said he kept his dead mother’s remains in a freezer to cover up her death and continue to collect her pension.
Sandro Mallus told police he put the body of Rosanna Pilloni, 78, in the family’s chest freezer after she passed away at home in the small town of Sarroch, near Cagliari in Sardinia, in January last year.
He made the admission after police began investigating concerns from neighbours that the woman hadn’t been seen for months.
According to local media, Mr Mallus continued shopping as if he was buying for two people, maintaining the pretence that his mother was alive.
Police are due to carry out a post mortem examination on Monday and have not ruled out the possibility Pilloni was killed, something Mr Mallus denies.
“My mother died of natural causes,’’ Mr Mallus told the newspaper, L’Unione Sarda. “I would never have harmed her.
“When I discovered her body I was desperate. I had no money for the funeral, so I locked her in there.”
Of those 37,227 Japanese people who died alone in their homes in the first half of the year, some 3,939 went unnoticed for over a month.

Almost 40,000 people died alone in their homes in Japan during the first half of 2024, a report by the country’s police shows.
Of that number, nearly 4,000 people were discovered more than a month after they died, and 130 bodies went unmissed for a year before they were found, according to the National Police Agency.
Japan currently has the world’s oldest population, according to the United Nations.
The agency hopes its report will shed light on the country's growing issue of vast numbers of its aging population who live, and die, alone.
Taken from the first half of 2024, the National Police Agency data shows that a total of 37,227 people living alone were found dead at home, with those aged 65 and over accounting for more than 70%.
While an estimated 40% of people who died alone at home were found within a day, the police report found that nearly 3,939 bodies were discovered more than a month after death, and 130 had lain unnoticed for at least a year before discovery.

Yoshinoya Holdings Co. is hoping that its customers don't bury their heads in the sand but give a new exotic meat offering on the menu a try.
The operator of the popular “gyudon” beef bowl chain announced on Aug. 28 that it has begun offering an ostrich rice bowl.
Ostrich is known for its high-protein, low-fat and low-calorie meat.
Yoshinoya is positioning ostrich as its fourth meat offering, following beef, pork and chicken.
The company said this is also part of its effort to diversify ingredients and continue offering healthy and satisfying meals.
As a first step, the bowl with thigh and fillet ostrich meat prepared in a roast beef style on rice is being sold at around 400 of Yoshinoya’s cafe-style stores, called “Cooking and Comfort,” across the country.
The dish is priced at 1,683 yen ($11.60) including tax.
The alleged victim is said to have first read about the case in the media - only to be told a few months later by police that it was him the teenage girl was said to have helped operate on.

An Austrian surgeon allegedly let his teenage daughter drill a hole in a patient's skull.
Following a forestry accident in January, a 33-year-old man was flown by air ambulance to Graz University Hospital, Styria, southeastern Austria, with serious head injuries, according to Kronen Zeitung, an Austrian newspaper.
He needed emergency surgery, but the doctor allegedly let his 13-year-old daughter take part in operating on him.
The newspaper reported that she even drilled a hole in the patient's skull.
While the operation was said to have gone off without issue, the patient is still unable to work and investigations by the Graz public prosecutor's officer against the entire surgical team are continuing.
It wasn't until April that an anonymous complaint was logged to the public prosecutor's office about the allegations, the newspaper reported.
The alleged victim initially learned about the case in the media before later being told by authorities he was a witness in an investigation.
Almost half of German companies say they have suffered Chinese cyberattacks or other industrial espionage, a study shows. Acts of industrial sabotage have done huge damage to the German economy this year alone, it says.
![](https://feddit.org/pictrs/image/c0c6b3f2-4ffb-4ad3-954d-7889d6d682ed.jpeg)
Eighty percent of German businesses reported being hit by data or IT theft, industrial espionage or sabotage in the last 12 months, with 45% of companies tracing cyberattacks or other acts of industrial spying to China, a survey showed on Wednesday.
The survey by Bitkom, a trade association for Germany's IT sector, also saw Russia being blamed for 39% of attacks.
That figure, however, is down from a previous 46%, while the statistic for China is three percentage points more than in the last survey in 2023.
The survey estimated that the German economy had suffered damage of up to €267 billion ($297 billion) in the last 12 months from acts of industrial espionage, including cybercrime. That figure is up 29% from the year before.
As AI technology continues to advance, Klarna, a Swedish financial services company, is planning to reduce its workforce by almost 50% in favour of AI-powered automation.
![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/49ffab17-e234-4616-8a00-70b14f67d240.jpeg)
A Swedish financial services firm specialising in direct payments, pay-after-delivery options, and instalment plans is preparing to reduce its workforce by nearly 50 per cent as artificial intelligence automation becomes more prevalent.
Klarna, a buy-now, pay-later company, has reduced its workforce by over 1,000 employees in the past year, partially attributed to the increased use of artificial intelligence.
The company plans to implement further job cuts, resulting in a reduction of nearly 2,000 positions. Klarna's current employee count decreased from approximately 5,000 to 3,800 compared to last year.
A company spokesperson stated that the number of employees is expected to decrease to approximately 2,000 in the coming years, although they did not provide a specific timeline. In Klarna's interim financial report released on Tuesday, the company attributed the job cuts to its increasing reliance on artificial intelligence, enabling it to reduce its human workforce.
Klarna claims that its AI-powered chatbot can handle the workload previously managed by 700 full-time customer service agents. The company has reduced the average resolution time for customer service inquiries from 11 minutes to two while maintaining consistent customer satisfaction ratings compared to human agents.

Nissan Motor Co. said it has developed a new type of paint that significantly reduces the temperature inside vehicles parked in direct sunlight.
The surface of a car coated with the innovative material remains up to 12 degrees cooler than that of a vehicle with standard paint, tests showed.
The company said the coating material can help rein in the temperature rise not only on the car's body but also in the vehicle when exposed to direct sunlight.
India's Infosys recruits reportedly subjected to repeated, unpaid "pre-training."
![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/ef7b1d7f-bbff-4ef9-baa2-af5e0e5b2f0a.jpeg)
Indian IT firm Infosys has been accused of being “exploitative” after allegedly sending job offers to thousands of engineering graduates but still not onboarding any of them after as long as two years. The recent graduates have reportedly been told they must do repeated, unpaid training in order to remain eligible to work at Infosys.
Last week, the Nascent Information Technology Employees Senate (NITES), an Indian advocacy group for IT workers, sent a letter [PDF], shared by The Register, to Mansukh Mandaviya, India’s Minster of Labor and Employment. It requested that the Indian government intervene “to prevent exploitation of young IT graduates by Infosys." The letter signed by NITES president Harpreet Singh Saluja claimed that NITES received “multiple” complaints from recent engineering graduates “who have been subjected to unprofessional and exploitative practices” from Infosys after being hired for system engineer and digital specialist engineer roles.
According to NITES, Infosys sent these people offer letters as early as April 22, 2022, after engaging in a college recruitment effort from 2022–2023 but never onboarded the graduates. NITES has previously said that “over 2,000 recruits” are affected.
NITES claims the people sent job offers were asked to participate in an unpaid, virtual “pre-training” that took place from July 1, 2024, until July 24, 2024. Infosys' HR team reportedly told the recent graduates at that time that onboarding plans would be finalized by August 19 or September 2. But things didn’t go as anticipated, NITES’ letter claimed, leaving the would-be hires with “immense frustration, anxiety, and uncertainty.”
Survival instinct kicks in for 88-year-old who went missing for four days in woods near her home
![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/40890fcf-dd98-4dbc-85c8-47c3b9fcf0d6.jpeg)
An 88-year-old Italian woman who got lost in a forest while looking for mushrooms survived for four days by drinking rainwater from puddles, reciting the rosary and talking to a fox.
Giuseppina Bardelli ventured into the mountains near her home in the village of Maccagno con Pino e Veddasca, on the border with Switzerland, taking a path that she had walked many times before. She was with her 57-year-old son, Sergio, but they became separated once they got to the woods.
“She lost her orientation, and she wandered off the path that she has known for more than 40 years,” Roberto, her other son, said.
She went missing last Wednesday, August 21, and it was not until four days later that she was found by rescuers.
“She drank rainwater that she found in puddles,” Roberto told Corriere della Sera newspaper. “At night she slept under trees, using vegetation to cover herself.”
She also befriended a wild fox that came sniffing around her out of curiosity.
“The fox approached her several times. They sort of became friends. And every evening she recited the rosary. She knew that every day could be her last,” her son said.

"I am in Tonga to issue a global SOS -- Save Our Seas -- on rising sea levels. A worldwide catastrophe is putting this Pacific paradise in peril" he said.
Sparsely populated and with few heavy industries, the Pacific islands collectively pump out less than 0.02 percent of global emissions every year.
But this vast arc of volcanic islands and low-lying coral atolls also inhabits a tropical corridor that is rapidly threatened by encroaching oceans.
The World Meterological Organisation has been monitoring tide gauges installed on the Pacific's famed beaches since the early 1990s.
A new report released by the top UN climate monitoring body showed seas had risen by around 15 centimetres in some parts of the Pacific in the last 30 years.
The global average was 9.4 centimetres, according to the report.
"It is increasingly evident that we are fast running out of time to turn the tide," said the forecasting agency's top official Celeste Saulo.
Unusually strong and rare snow system dusted Sierra Nevada mountain range early Saturday
![](https://lemmings.world/pictrs/image/91d9ba21-2405-4b50-bc45-d17abd1fb57a.jpeg)
This summer, Californians have had to endure blistering heatwaves, raging wildfires – and now snow.
An unusually strong and rare snow system dusted California’s Sierra Nevada mountain range early Saturday, the first time snow has fallen in August in the so-called Golden State in more than 20 years.
About 3in fell in Lassen Volcanic national park, according to the weather service. But most areas just got a dusting with summertime temps returning 24 hours later.
The rare summer snowstorm nonetheless caused a record amount of rainfall in Redding, Red Bluff and Stockton in northern California on Saturday, the weather service said.
The “anomalous cool conditions” spread over much of the western US through Sunday morning, according to the weather service’s Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland.
Home insurance is becoming unaffordable for a growing number of Australian households as increased climate threats drive up their premiums, potentially putting billions of dollars in mortgage loans at risk, a report said on Monday.
As of March 2024, 15% of Australian households were experiencing home insurance affordability stress, which is defined as having premiums that cost more than four weeks' of their incomes, the report from the Actuaries Institute found.
That is equivalent to 1.61 million households, compared to 1.24 million found to be facing affordability stress a year ago – an increase of 30%.
Rising insurance costs have fuelled inflation in Australia and there are signs that some homeowners can no longer afford to protect their homes due to climate-related risks and high construction costs.
While more and more robotic dogs are appearing in China's cities, companies say they've been caught off guard by videos of the machines armed with guns in military exercises.
![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/7a167192-65d2-4c44-873e-e6a255a9c83b.jpeg)
From Beijing to Hangzhou, the sight of robotic dogs in a park is becoming more and more common.
Climbing stairs? No problem. And what about hills? They can do that too.
Josh Yuan showed us his robo-dog in one of Beijing's fanciest shopping districts, guiding it through a crowd of curious onlookers with a handheld remote-controlled device.
He paid £1,300 for his new companion a few months ago.
"I think at the moment it's for people like me, or tech geeks and programmers," Mr Yuan said.
"But I think in the future, it will be quite common and humanoid robots will definitely enter people's homes when they are more affordable."
There are dozens of robot companies in China. A few of them, like the Hangzhou company Unitree, are focused on robotic dogs.
The Unitree team showed off their two latest models. One is a small dog, that can be used as a companion or dressed up in a dragon or panda costume for fun.
They also have a larger model, strong enough to lift me on its back.
It's designed for industries to use and can carry supplies, be sent into a fire or emergency, or be used to check pipelines and infrastructure.
In May, however, robodogs received some extra - and unwanted - attention after China's state media channel showed them being used in training exercises with weapons firing from their back.
The People's Liberation Army was using these gun-toting robots as they trained with Cambodian forces. But Unitree says the video came as a surprise.
The company's marketing manager, Duke Huang, explained: "We learnt about this [video] from the internet, just like everyone else. We didn't know anything about it before that."
These robots aren't designed for military use, but the video caused a storm.
"We can't control how buyers use the dog after they buy it," Mr Huang says. "But we are thinking about how to prohibit military use in the future."
With drones already operating on the battlefield, could robodogs be next? Unitree doesn't think so.
"The dog is not that smart, it's very simple," Mr Huang says. "It still needs my control to move. It doesn't have a brain."
P W Singer, a strategist at the US think-tank New America who specialises in 21st-century warfare, says "almost every advancement made with AI and robotics in the civilian economy is being mirrored on battlefields".
He notes that "many of the uses of AI and drones in wars like Ukraine and Gaza are almost direct applications of civilian tech".
Meta has not announced the new bot, dubbed Meta External Agent, beyond updating an existing web page for developers.
![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/aedda8b8-190d-4e48-b52a-839c5d1b0ee2.jpeg)
Meta has quietly unleashed a new web crawler to scour the internet and collect data en masse to feed its AI model.
The crawler, named the Meta External Agent, was launched last month, according to three firms that track web scrapers and bots across the web. The automated bot essentially copies, or “scrapes,” all the data that is publicly displayed on websites, for example the text in news articles or the conversations in online discussion groups.
A representative of Dark Visitors, which offers a tool for website owners to automatically block all known scraper bots, said Meta External Agent is analogous to OpenAI’s GPTBot, which scrapes the web for AI training data. Two other entities involved in tracking web scrapers confirmed the bot’s existence and its use for gathering AI training data.
While close to 25% of the world’s most popular websites now block GPTBot, only 2% are blocking Meta’s new bot, data from Dark Visitors shows.
Earlier this year, Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s cofounder and longtime CEO, boasted on an earnings call that his company’s social platforms had amassed a data set for AI training that was even “greater than the Common Crawl,” an entity that has scraped roughly 3 billion web pages each month since 2011.
The traders operate in the capital Sana’a and other areas under control of the Houthis.

Weapons dealers in Yemen are openly using the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, to sell Kalashnikovs, pistols, grenades and grenade-launchers.
The traders operate in the capital Sana’a and other areas under control of the Houthis, a rebel group backed by Iran and proscribed as terrorists by the US and Australian governments.
The advertisements are mostly in Arabic and aimed primarily at Yemeni customers in a country where the number of guns is often said to outnumber the population by three to one.
The BBC has found several examples online, offering weapons at prices in both Yemeni and Saudi riyals.
The words beside the weapons are designed to lure in the buyers.
"Premium craftsmanship and top-notch warranty," says one advertisement. "The Yemeni-modified AK is your best choice."
A demonstration video, filmed at night, shows the seller blasting off a 30-round magazine on full automatic.
Another offers sand-coloured Pakistani-produced Glock pistols for around $900 each.
If you are sticking to Windows 10 because it has fewer annoyances than Windows 11, especially in the Start menu, we have bad news for you.
![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/824f1cde-00d0-4409-b389-bbc9b8f72691.jpeg)
Let's put it this way; when Microsoft announced its plans to start adding features to Windows 10 once again, despite the operating system's inevitable demise in October 2025, everyone expected slightly different things to see ported over from Windows 11. Sadly, the latest addition to Windows 10 is one of the most annoying changes coming from Windows 11's Start menu.
Earlier this year, Microsoft introduced a so-called "Account Manager" for Windows 11 that appears on the screen when you click your profile picture on the Start menu. Instead of just showing you buttons for logging out, locking your device or switching profiles, it displays Microsoft 365 ads. All the actually useful buttons are now hidden behind a three-dot submenu (apparently, my 43-inch display does not have enough space to accommodate them). Now, the "Account Manager" is coming to Windows 10 users.
The change was spotted in the latest Windows 10 preview builds from the Beta and Release Preview Channels. It works in the same way as Windows 11, and it is disabled by default for now because the submenu with sign-out and lock buttons does not work.

Not the day after tomorrow: Why we can't predict the timing of climate tipping points
A study published in Science Advances reveals that uncertainties are currently too large to accurately predict exact tipping times for critical Earth system components like the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), polar ice sheets, or tropical rainforests.
These tipping events, which might unfold in response to human-caused global warming, are characterized by rapid, irreversible climate changes with potentially catastrophic consequences. However, as the study shows, predicting when these events will occur is more difficult than previously thought.
Climate scientists from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) have identified three primary sources of uncertainty.
https://phys.org/news/2024-08-day-tomorrow-climate.html
Also as Rahmstof said.
“There’s now five papers, basically, that suggested it could well happen in this century, or even before the middle of the century,” Rahmstof said. “My overall assessment is now that the risk of us passing the tipping point in this century is probably even greater than 50%.”
While the advances in AMOC research have been swift and the models that try to predict its collapse have advanced at lightning speed, they are still not without issues.
This research gap means the predictions could underestimate how soon or fast a collapse would happen.
You can create and set up telegram bots for your own use
That's what AI companies want, you don't have a job and they pay you with UBI in Compute Coins, so you can spend by using their digital wallet (Altman has Worldcoin).
This is just an Utopia world for the rich and a Dystopia world for most of us.
I think, what Altman means by Compute is the same as something like Credit Points or Coins. Which you can use to pay bills, rent, buy groceries, etc.
This is just an excuse from a billionaire to not give you UBI in cash and prefer to use Coins from their digital system and buy their products.
I think Altman think Compute = Credit / Coin. You can use them
wow, I have no idea. Thanks

According to this article, regarding Intel Alder Lake
Intel's Thread Director technology is the key here. This hardware-based technology uses a trained AI model to identify different types of workloads at the chip level. It then provides that enhanced telemetry data to Windows 11 via a Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU) built into the chip. The operating system then uses that data to help assure that threads are scheduled to either the P- or E-cores in an optimized and intelligent manner.
However, while Windows 11 exploits Thread Director's full feature set, Windows 10 does not. Due to optimizations for Intel's Lakefield chips, Windows 10 is aware of hybrid topologies, meaning it knows the difference between the performance and efficiency of the different core types. Still, it doesn't have access to the thread-specific telemetry provided by Intel's hardware-based solution.
As a result, threads can and will land on the incorrect cores under some circumstances, which Intel says will result in run-to-run variability in benchmarks. It will also impact the chips during normal use, too. Intel says the difference amounts to a few percentage points of performance and that the chips still provide an "awesome" user experience. We'll have to see how that works in the real world to assess the impact.
Intel also says that users can assign the priority of background tasks through the standard Windows settings, but these global settings apply to all programs. So it remains to be seen if that will have a meaningful impact on performance variability in Windows 10.
https://www.tomshardware.com/features/intel-shares-alder-lake-pricing-specs-and-gaming-performance/4
so, it's still works but not optimized for some apps. Probably this will be the same with AMD's latest CPU.
