Holiday Deal Alert Straight to the Point The Ninja Air Fryer Pro XL 6-in-1 is a masterful example of air fryer refinement: It’s fast, easy to use, and crisps like a dream. The basket is large enough to hold a pound of chicken wings, several whole potatoes, or three salmon filets with plenty of room for air frying.

Ninja also has a great array of more practical gadgets worth considering, like its expansive…

Spam is back in search. And in a big way. Honestly, I don’t think Google can handle this at all. The scale is unprecedented. They went after publishers manually with the site reputation abuse update. More expired domain abuse is reaching the top of the SERPs than at any time I can remember in recent history. They’re fighting a losing battle, and they’ve taken their eye off the ball. In a microcosm, this is what’s happening (Image Credit: Harry Clarkson-Bennett) A few years ago, search was getting on top of the various spam issues “creative” SEOs were trialling. The prospect…

arXiv:2512.13164v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The development of clinical-grade artificial intelligence in pathology is limited by the scarcity of diverse, high-quality annotated datasets. Generative models offer a potential solution but suffer from semantic instability and morphological hallucinations that compromise diagnostic reliability. To address this challenge, we introduce a Correlation-Regulated Alignment Framework for Tissue Synthesis (CRAFTS), the first generative foundation model for pathology-specific text-to-image synthesis. By leveraging a dual-stage training strategy on approximately 2.8 million image-caption pairs, CRAFTS incorporates a novel alignment mechanism that suppresses semantic drift to ensure biological accuracy. This model generates diverse pathological images spanning 30 cancer types,…

I am completely exhausted by huge corporations like McDonald’s and Coca-Cola choosing to rely so heavily on AI for their holiday ads. McDonald’s made $25.9 billion in revenue in 2024, and Coca-Cola made $47.1 billion. Do these companies expect us to be OK with AI slop garbage when they could’ve spent a tiny fraction of that to hire a real animator or videographer?In case you haven’t been inundated with these AI commercials, I’ll back up a bit. Both McDonald’s and Coca-Cola have launched holiday-themed commercials that are undeniably made with AI — each bragged about its use of AI, which they have probably…

Key Takeaways • Add a cube of butter to freshly cooked rice to boost richness and creaminess. • For even more flavor, mix fish sauce, sugar, and garlic into the butter. Growing up, I spent many childhood summers with Ah Ma, my paternal grandmother, in Montreal. I was always a bit too chatty as a kid, so she taught me origami and how to cook to occupy my attention (and give her some peace and quiet). I loved eating everything she made, from her pâté chaud (or Vietnamese pastry pie) and mooncakes to her mushroom chicken and summer rolls. Sometimes, however,…

Here’s a question: How can you boost the performance of your Instagram posts and reels in one minute or less? The answer lies in your Instagram Stories.I do this for every post I share on Instagram, and it never fails to help my content gain traction. That’s because reposting my feed posts to my Instagram stories helps my most engaged followers (read: my mom) see my Instagram content, which might not have popped up on their feeds yet. It all has to do with the way the Instagram algorithm for stories works — which, yes, is different from the feed…
