Sometimes, eating makes me feel like Sisyphus. Every day, I must toil up the mountain and the rock to figure out what the heck I want to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

The US government has imposed tariffs of 25 percent on all imports from Mexico and Canada.

Over the previous night in Asia, the Donald Trump administration had abruptly announced it would end nearly 10,000 contracts and grants from the US State Department, including the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) as well as the US Agency for International Development, representing about 90 percent of USAID’s contracts overall.The announcement was the latest in a string of efforts by the Trump administration and Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to curtail…

As electronic health records (EHRs), telemedicine, and digital health platforms become increasingly prevalent, the demand for reliable AI-powered transcription has never been higher. However, traditional speech-to-text models often struggle with the complex and specialised vocabulary used in clinical settings, leading to errors and “hallucinations” that can compromise patient care. Deepgram’s Nova-3…

It’s dangerous to have epiphanies while shaving. But in this case it was unavoidable: My epiphany was about shaving.For the past few weeks, my bathroom routine has been a little like George Clooney in O Brother, Where Art Thou?, minus the smelly Dapper Dan. I’ve been lathering shave soap with a brush and bowl, and shaving with an old-fashioned single-blade, single-edge, unmedicated safety razor.Specifically, I’m using the Leaf Thorn—a stylish and well-marketed and self-avowedly “aggressive” single-edge razor whose house blades are so wafer-thin the company imprints them with the words “I am not plastic.” The less aggressive Leaf Single Edge…
