Bloomberg Opinion To the stalwart seniors reviewing their Medicare coverage this fall: Godspeed. The open-enrollment process has become so convoluted that almost 70% of beneficiaries don’t bother to compare their options. Many are opting to migrate to Medicare Advantage, a simpler, privately run alternative paid for by the government. By 2034, more than 60% of seniors will be enrolled, up from about half today. The popularity of Medicare Advantage would be good news if not for its exorbitant cost. The government spends 22% more on MA beneficiaries than similar enrollees in the traditional program, amounting to $83 billion annually. MA beneficiaries, in return, enjoy more streamlined coverage and generous benefits while paying little or nothing in premiums. Unfortunately, Medicare’s fiscal state doesn’t leave much room for such extravagance. Its main trust fund is slated for insolvency by 2036. Total expenditures reached $1 trillion last year — some 16% of the federal budget — up from $575 billion a decade earlier. The demographics are similarly unfavorable: As the population ages, fewer workers will fund the program through payroll taxes. Demand for costly new medicines and technologies, meanwhile, is only rising. Lawmakers have taken steps to rein in MA spending, including a practice known as upcoding, which inflates insurer payments. They’re also increasing scrutiny of care denials. Yet little’s been done to address the deficiencies in the traditional program that have spurred the flight to MA. Medicare, the federal health plan for seniors, was created in 1965. It started with Parts A and B for hospital and doctor services. Over time, Congress added standardized supplemental benefits, including Part D for prescription drugs and Medigap, which helps seniors cover out-of-pocket expenses. Both are optional and run by commercial insurers, though the government helps pay for Part D. (Medigap is financed by premiums.) Medicare Advantage is considered Part C. Each benefit in this patchwork abides by its own rules and imposes different costs. Part A typically has no premium and a high deductible; Part B has a moderate premium and lower deductible, with a 20% coinsurance rate for most visits. Neither has an out-of-pocket maximum. The average beneficiary can then choose from 10 Medigap policies and no less than 21 stand-alone Part D plans. MA, by contrast, is a one-stop shop. It bundles hospital and doctor visits and prescription drug coverage with perks such as vision, hearing and dental care, while caps on out-of-pocket spending eliminate the need for Medigap. The trade-off is a more limited provider network and restrictions on care. (Traditional Medicare seldom requires so-called prior authorization, and almost all doctors nationwide participate.) Yet satisfaction scores remain high. The choice between a larger network with higher out-of-pocket costs (Medicare) and a narrower one with lower costs (MA) isn’t always an obvious one for a senior on a fixed budget. And the system’s overriding complexity makes choosing much harder. As things stand, it often amounts to high-stakes guesswork. Restructuring parts of traditional Medicare might help. A single deductible and out-of-pocket maximum for Parts A and B would simplify seniors’ choices and provide more certainty about their costs. A higher deductible in the traditional program would be a reasonable concession for lower premiums, copays and coinsurance, and could lessen the need to purchase Medigap policies. As for Part D, the complexity of adding the privately run program may not outweigh the benefits, as seniors may prefer to keep their choice of plans. A better alternative would be to update the Medicare Plan Finder tool to consolidate pricing information. (The last update — in 2019, for a relatively modest $11 million — predated significant advances in automation and analytics.) Increasing the paltry budget for in-person help, now 85 cents per beneficiary, would also be worthwhile. Simplifying Medicare is no simple task. But it would increase competition, save taxpayers money and protect the solvency of a critical government program. It’s also the right thing to do for the 65 million seniors who currently face a maddening array of ambiguous choices.Isaac Brown, Duke Watson each rush for 2 TDs, Louisville gets 5 turnovers in 41-14 rout of KentuckyCoastal Carolina 73, SC-Upstate 51

DULUTH — The boys hockey team from Mankato West High School arrived at the Essentia Duluth Heritage Center early Saturday morning, but they were missing something important for hockey teams — their stick bag. Coach Nate Olsen thought something strange must have happened. Maybe they never made it on the bus or somehow ended up on another team’s bus. The Scarlets had already lost two one-goal games, and they arrived at the Heritage Center for an 8 a.m. game against Anoka to conclude their participation at the annual Holiday Classic tournament. “It’s 7 in the morning, you’re getting the bus unloaded, you have everything there and all of a sudden, when you go to look for the stick bag — there’s no sticks,” Olsen said. The team did their “due diligence,” according to Olsen, but the equipment manager was “adamant” he put the bag on the bus the night before. Officials at the Heritage Center were able to pull up security camera footage to confirm he was correct. “We could see him taking the bag from the locker room and out the door and into the bus,” Olsen said. “Unfortunately, sometime from late yesterday afternoon to early this morning, our stick bag disappeared.” Staying at the downtown Holiday Inn, the Scarlets’ coach bus was parked overnight on West First Street. As they began to suspect theft, they reported the incident to the Duluth Police Department and gave an inventory of what was missing. Duluth police public information officer Mattie Hjelseth confirmed the report and said the investigation remains active. Officers were working to follow any leads, and no further information would be released on Saturday, she said. Officers saw a man walking in the 100 block of East Third Street with a few of the items just before 11 p.m., Hjelseth said in a statement early Sunday morning. The man told officers he found the items behind Chum. He didn’t match the suspect's description but was arrested on an unrelated warrant, Hjelseth said. Police are making arrangements to return the items. Heritage Center Director Jeff Stark put out a call for local help to find the sticks on social media. “We are aware of this theft of property and are assisting the team and law enforcement with trying to locate and recover their stolen sticks,” Stark wrote. “This incident happened while the team bus was parked overnight at their hotel. If you have any information, please contact the Duluth Police Department so we can try and obtain a positive outcome for the Mankato West players and families.” Olsen said he estimated there were 30 to 40 sticks in the bag worth a “rough estimate” of $10,000-$12,000. He said parents are also working with the list to cross-reference what was lost with what is missing, but either way it’s a “big deal,” particularly on the heels of the holiday season. “That’s usually a more expensive month for most families,” Olsen said. “Now try to come up with $6-800 to be ready to practice and play — even if there is a resolution on the back end, that resolution is not going to have cash in people’s pockets by Monday.” The referee scheduled to work the early game Saturday told Olsen he’s been officiating hockey for 37 years and had never seen anything like this, but the veteran coach said they were trying to stay positive. “The dust will settle and we’ll be OK long term,” Olsen said. “It’s just a unique circumstance we’re going to have to fight through and we’ll be better for it, but it’s quite a story — there’s no doubt about it.” This story was updated at 9:44 a.m. Dec. 19, with information about some of the items being recovered. It was originally posted at 8:23 p.m. Dec. 28.Independent candidate for Bradfield Nicolette Boele (Image: Private Media) When Liberal frontbencher Paul Fletcher gave a speech declaring the teals a “Green left con job”, it was clear he’d made a huge mistake. Fletcher insulted teal voters, suggesting they’d been “duped” by left-wing front groups. According to Bernard Keane , the bizarre conspiracy was the most interesting thing the Bradfield MP had ever said, arguing Fletcher had failed to grasp why traditional liberals were turning away. Letters from locals were equally scathing, with one declaring Fletcher “just signed [his] own dismissal notice”. It seemed like good news for independent Nicolette Boele, the self-styled “shadow member for Bradfield”, who reduced Fletcher’s margin to just 4.2% in 2022 (a redistribution has since cut it to 2.5%). North Sydney MP Kylea Tink, whose neighbouring seat is being abolished , then revealed she wouldn’t contest Bradfield, backing Boele while comparing Fletcher to “a child throwing his toys out of the cot”. Paul Fletcher’s grand conspiracy theory is the most interesting thing he’s ever said Read More On Tuesday, Fletcher announced his retirement — making him the second “moderate” to quit in as many weeks . Colleagues were surprised , telling Crikey he’d been campaigning for reelection. “Time to let somebody else have a go”, Fletcher said, downplaying teal chances by arguing “the local mood is discernibly different from 2022”, when voters were eager to remove Scott Morrison. Boele was already a community candidate to watch in 2025. But the outlook just became even brighter for the clean energy expert, who’s spent the entire term campaigning (an incumbent’s retirement usually costs their party 1-2% of its margin ). Her team has knocked on about 5,000 doors in the wealthy electorate, spending mornings at bus stops and train stations; she even kept her campaign office, from which “ Voices of Bradfield ” helped run Bradfield for Yes , becoming the only Liberal-held seat to vote in favour of the Voice referendum. Donations have increased since Fletcher’s remarks, allowing Boele to hire more people for her campaign, which is mostly powered by volunteers — the “secret sauce” of the movement. She credits Tink for the extra “momentum”, noting the “generous endorsement” saw several members of Team Tink join Team Nic. Did the backlash to the speech contribute to Fletcher throwing in the towel? “I don’t know what was in Mr Fletcher’s mind,” Boele tells me. “If you can see your main opponent, and it’s a two-horse race, has been in the field for that long ... Maybe the 12 letters to The Sydney Morning Herald as soon as he insulted everybody was a feedback loop that he needed.” Boele has been critical of the speech, arguing it showed little respect for Fletcher’s constituents. Her statement about it was titled , “Bradfield voters aren’t dopes, Paul”. When I ask how it made her feel, she gives a very teal answer. “It was disappointing, but it wasn’t a surprise. I get very protective, kind of a mum instinct, with the constituents. Like, hang on a second, what do you mean we’re dim-witted? Obviously there were some overtones about the gendered part of it, too, which I didn’t take very nicely to.” Hard Solo and human rights: Why Kylea Tink won’t go quietly Read More Boele ticks all the teal boxes, and then some (for the purposes of my pieces, “teal” refers to climate-focused independents who contest wealthy, Liberal seats , all of whom have so far been white, professional mothers, many of whom have unique names). Raised on the North Shore by socially conscious Dutch parents, along with a “Howard-voting, Hawaiian shirt-wearing, Barker boy” stepdad, Boele has a perfectly teal resume , having spent 35 years working in climate policy and finance. She previously ran a consultancy with her brother, who is now “chief purpose officer” at KPMG. “He’s human rights guy and I’m climate change gal,” she jokes, arguing he was a big influence on her. When Kevin Rudd was prime minister, Boele “had a moment”. After initially thinking Rudd had “got my back on climate”, Labor dismissed the findings of the Garnaut Review , setting a 15% emissions reduction target rather than the 25% science demanded. “I actually went to bed for three months,” says Boele, suggesting it was an early case of climate anxiety. “More and more people were turning up, feeling so overwhelmed, who were deep in the policy world ... And it wasn’t like we didn’t have the technology either. It was the political will.” Boele got back up again, with the help of some experts in postnatal depression. But it was then that she gave up on the policy work she’d been involved in (including lobbying on behalf of the Climate Institute and the Australian Conservation Foundation), turning to green finance, where she’s spent the past 15 years trying to “move money away from the harmful things, towards the really constructive and productive things for our economy and for society.” Like many teals, Boele originally had to be talked into running by her community, citing her voting-age son as a motivating factor. “As a mum, when you tell your kid, ‘don’t bother voting ’cause it’s such a safe seat, nothing’s going to change’...” But it was a chance encounter with Fletcher that cemented her decision, with the MP giving disappointing responses on climate. “There’s that point where you finish being an advocate, trying to change the mind of the parliamentarians, where you just go, ‘bugger it, I’ll just try to become one’.” Julian Leeser braces for the teals, Abbott meets JD Vance, and Kim Williams to sing at RN Xmas party? Read More For someone who had to be talked into running, Boele is now running hard , saying she’s fed up with the Liberals taking their moderate constituents for granted. She’s not concerned about who the Liberals preselect , noting they’ll still be expected to vote the same as Peter Dutton, who is “extremely divisive” on the North Shore. “I thought they would have learnt some lessons from 2022,” she adds, saying she hasn’t put much thought into what the dwindling number of moderates in the Liberal Party will mean. “I’m busy with our hundreds of volunteers, door knocking and having conversations.” As for Fletcher’s “recycled scare campaign,” suggesting people like her are a threat to a majority government ? “The premise that a majority government is a good thing is kind of crazy, given that he’s part of a minority Liberal National party,” she says. “A constructive crossbench can help push the parties on their ambition, on their integrity, and I think it’s a really healthy part of democracy. You move away from ideology, and you move towards what the people of Australia want. And I think that can only be a good thing.” Have something to say about this article?

TORONTO — Hannah Miller scored a power-play goal with 1:38 remaining in the game, lifting the Toronto Sceptres to a 3-1 victory over the Boston Fleet in the Professional Women's Hockey League season opener on Saturday. With Boston standout Hilary Knight in the penalty box for a vicious boarding penalty on Sceptres defender Renata Fast, Miller made good on her rebound attempt on a Daryl Watts shot with a half-open net. Fast recovered for an assist on the winner before 8,089 fans at Coca-Cola Coliseum. The Fleet (0-1-0) challenged the goal, but video review deemed Miller's shot was good. Sarah Nurse got Toronto (1-0-0) on the board with a short-handed tally 11:50 into the first period and Emma Maltais added an empty-net strike to seal the score at 3-1 with 12 seconds left on the game clock. Boston's Hilary Knight opened the scoring at the 3:00 mark of the opening frame, sending a slap shot past Toronto goalie Kristin Campbell, who registered 18 stops on the night. Toronto outshot Boston 41-19. Boston goalie Aerin Frankel, a big reason why her team advanced to the Walter Cup final last spring, was outstanding with 38 saves. Frankel made a significant glove-hand stop on Toronto defender Jocelyne Larocque with 6:36 remaining in the third period. Larocque was alone when a rebound caromed to her in front. But the puck was rolling, and she could only lift her shot straight into Frankel's glove. Nurse's goal tested the league's new jailbreak rule that sees a minor penalty — in this case, Izzy Daniel's tripping infraction — wiped out when a team scores a short-handed goal. . Takeaways Sceptres: Billie Jean King MVP Natalie Spooner missed the season opener. The PWHL scoring champion underwent left knee surgery last June after getting injured in Game 3 of Toronto's first-round series against Minnesota. Fleet: Defender Emma Greco of Burlington, Ont., played her first game for Boston. She was part of the Walter Cup-winning Minnesota team that defeated Boston in a three-game series last spring. Greco is one of five Ontario-born players on the Fleet roster. Key moment With the game tied 1-1, the Sceptres failed to score during a 59-second 5-on-3 advantage midway through the second period. Boston blocked five shots during the span. Key stat Last year, Toronto enjoyed an 11-game win streak en route to its regular-season championship, including three wins against Boston. Up next Toronto visits Ottawa on Tuesday. Boston will play its home opener on Wednesday, a rematch with the Walter Cup-champion Minnesota.

MGX-001, utilizing a highly specific and efficient MG29-1 nuclease, exhibits no identifiable off-target editing MG29-1 nuclease targeting the albumin safe harbor locus showed no evidence of translocations in primary human hepatocytes Metagenomi Adenine Base Editor (ABE) demonstrates no detectable translocations and no significant genomic base composition differences in primary T-cells EMERYVILLE, Calif., Dec. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Metagenomi, Inc. (Nasdaq: MGX), a precision genetic medicines company committed to developing curative therapeutics for patients using its proprietary gene editing toolbox, today presented a talk titled “Specific and efficient genome editing with metagenomics-derived tools for in vivo and ex vivo therapeutic applications” at the Nature Conference: RNA at the Bench and Bedside IV. “We believe the value proposition for single-dose gene editing therapies requires exquisite specificity characterization to ensure safety and efficacy. Today’s presentation highlights the precision of Metagenomi’s next-generation nucleases and ABEs, discovered through the company’s proprietary metagenomics platform and tailored for both in vivo and ex vivo therapeutic applications,” said Alan Brooks, SVP and Head of Preclinical. “MGX-001, Metagenomi’s development candidate for hemophilia A, which utilizes the novel nuclease MG29-1, exhibits no identifiable off-target editing using a series of orthogonal assays employed to evaluate potential off-target sites in the genome. The MG29-1 nuclease targeting the albumin safe harbor locus showed no evidence of translocations in primary human hepatocytes. For Metagenomi’s novel next-generation ABE for ex vivo cell therapy indications via multiplex editing, the data showed no detectable translocations and no significant genomic base composition differences in primary T-cells when compared to unedited cells. These examples demonstrate our strong capabilities in developing highly specific next-generation gene editing tools and support the company’s ability to potentially progress these systems toward the clinic for the benefit of patients.” About Metagenomi Metagenomi is a precision genetic medicines company committed to developing curative therapeutics for patients using its proprietary, comprehensive metagenomics-derived toolbox.

The defending champion dominated the first half but it took until the 35th minute to open the scoring. Young Portuguese midfielder João Neves spun to meet a cross from the right and struck a superb half volley from just outside the box. Lucas Beraldo got a second with six minutes remaining when he pounced on loose ball and fired home. Vitinha made it 3-0 in stoppage time when he showed fine footwork inside the box to finish off a quick counterattack. The scoreline was harsh on Toulouse, which came into the game in a more even second half. Only Vitinha’s last-gasp tackle stopped Zakaria Aboukhlal from equalizing after 69 minutes and then Shavy Babicka blazed over from close range a minute later when he should have hit the target. The win was a confidence boost for Luis Enrique’s side ahead of next Tuesday’s Champions League encounter at Bayern Munich. PSG lies in 25th place in the 36-team Champions League table with one win in four matches and outside the playoff spots. The win came immediately after second-placed Monaco beaten Brest 3-2 to briefly close the gap at the top to three points. Brest, which faces Barcelona next week in the Champions League, turned in another inconsistent French league performance and not the sparkling form it has shown in Europe. Brest has struggled in Ligue 1, where it remains 12th, but shone with three wins from four in its first ever Champions League campaign. It was behind after just five minutes on Friday when Maghnes Akliouche scored with a superb airborne volley, and 2-0 down after 24 minutes thanks to Aleksandr Golovin. The Russian striker seized on a poor pass just outside the Brest penalty area and his low shot was perfectly placed to sneak in off the post and give him his first goal in nine league appearances. On-loan Brighton striker Abdallah Sima used his 1.88-meter frame to outjump the Monaco defense four minutes into the second half and cut the deficit but Akliouche restored Monaco’s two-goal cushion when he brilliantly finished a quick counterattack in stoppage time. Ludovic Ajorque got a second for Brest in the sixth minute of added time but it was not enough in a second half most notable for the red card shown to Brest coach Éric Roy.

1 2 Bhubaneswar: After receiving ground penetrating radar and GPS survey report of Ratna Bhandar of the Puri Jagannath Temple , the Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) on Saturday urged Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to immediately undertake repair, maintenance and conservation work of the treasury. The 45-page technical report was prepared with the assistance of National Geophysical Research Institute, Hyderabad. The report gives a detailed account of the present condition of the walls and floors of Ratna Bhandar. "In a letter to ASI we have requested it to start the repair and conservation work at the earliest," said Arabinda Padhee, chief administrator of SJTA. Padhee stated that the temple administration would extend full cooperation to ASI in this endeavour. "Based on the report, we have requested ASI to share the repair plan and discuss it with the temple management. We will consult with the Chhatisa Nijog regarding the plan for the repair of Ratna Bhandar. At the same time, we requested ASI that during the repair work there should be no disruption to rituals and darshan of the deities," Padhee said. The ASI had conducted a detailed survey using the latest technology and equipment, including laser scanning and ground penetrating radar survey in Sept and detected cracks within the treasury. However, no secret tunnels or chambers were found in Ratna Bhandar. The valuables of inner and outer chambers of Ratna Bhandar were shifted to a temporary strongroom in two phases in July.

In some cases, the companies in question are just slower to finish their work than they’d expected. Other times, they’re strategically drumming up enthusiasm for something new and shiny to distract customers from competitive offerings. Either way, any gratification involved is delayed, assuming the product ever ships at all—which is not a given . The high-stakes intensity of the current battle of the tech giants for AI supremacy has led to countless launches that remain vaporous for at least a while, a dynamic I wrote about back in May . So it’s no shock that two new Google creations, Project Astra and Project Mariner, aren’t shipping products. For now, Google DeepMind , the company’s AI research arm, is only making them available to a small pool of hand-selected “trusted testers.” In fact, the “Project” in their names indicates that they’re showcases for work in progress rather than actual products. And yet, dismissing them as mere vaporware feels unfair. Google is being quite clear about its goals for Astra and Mariner—which is to get a better feel for how people might use new forms of AI before springing them on millions or billions of unprepared humans. Particularly given some of the travails the company has had with AI features that were seemingly undertested before release, it’s the responsible thing to do. Both projects fall into general AI categories also being ardently pursued by other companies. Astra, which Google first demoed at its I/O developer conference in May, is the company’s vision of a next-generation AI assistant—not an inflexible and limited piece of software like Google Assistant , or a text-centric chatbot like the Gemini app , but a helper that listens, speaks, and sees your world. It’s roughly akin to the version of ChatGPT Advanced Voice Mode that OpenAI unveiled in May—though that product’s camera-enabled features are still vaporware as I write this. (Maybe that will change before OpenAI’s current 12-day advent calendar of “Shipmas” announcements is over.) Project Mariner, meanwhile, is a Chrome extension that can use websites for you, typing and clicking on its own to accomplish tasks you’d otherwise perform yourself. It’s in the same conceptual zip code as Anthropic’s “Computer Use” feature, which debuted as part of its Claude large language model in October and lets that chatbot control apps. Both are steps toward one of the tech industry’s biggest current obsessions: agentic AI that can work more independently on your behalf. What Google learns from Astra and Mariner could matter as much to the quality of the experiences it builds as to the raw capabilities of its Gemini large language model—yet another sign that the AI rubber has hit the road. “Academic benchmarks are important, but nowadays, when we say something is best in class, what we mean is, do the users find it best in class?” says Google DeepMind CTO Koray Kavukcuoglu. “The model’s capability has to be merged with the way the application works and is useful. That’s a change for all the researchers.” That basic reality was reflected in the demos I saw during a recent visit to Google. Running on an Android phone and utilizing its camera, Astra recognized images of paintings, such as Edvard Munch’s The Scream , and answered questions such as, “If I like this, what other artists might I like?” It also scanned the spines and covers of books in a scientific library to help pick among them and read, and summarized two pages of information in a travel book. What it had to say seemed roughly comparable in intelligence to what you might coax out of the Gemini chatbot in a text-based conversation, and wasn’t always dazzling when judged purely by the information it conveyed. For instance, when I pointed the phone at a shelf of books about hearing and asked Astra to recommend a good introduction to the psychology of hearing, it picked one titled . . . Introduction to the Psychology of Hearing . Shown six bottles of wine and asked which one went best with beef Bourguignon, it rhapsodized about a pinot noir—“a superb pairing!” Even I, a guy who knows nothing about wine, could have figured that out on my own. Still, Astra’s spoken interface and ability to see the world around it made for a far richer experience than typing prompts into a chatbot. (It might get even richer if Astra eventually runs on AR glasses as well as phones, a scenario Google is working on .) At one point, after the app misunderstood the question about beef Bourguignon—it thought it involved coq au vin—it not only apologized, but did so with an embarrassed half laugh. Maybe that falls well short of OpenAI’s quest to turn the movie Her into everyday life , but it’s an example of simulated humanity we never got from Google Assistant or Siri. Among the goals of Astra’s controlled testing is to give Google DeepMind’s safety team the opportunity to chime in on exactly how much personality the software should exhibit. “We think a lot about anthropomorphism—what is and isn’t appropriate—because we are not trying to build someone to replace the humans in someone’s life,” says Google DeepMind senior director of responsibility Helen King. Along with that, the team is also assessing such obvious issues as the privacy concerns raised by an AI assistant that sees what you see and has a superhuman photographic memory. For now, Google DeepMind has decided that Astra should only remember the most recent 10 minutes of video it’s captured. Project Mariner is in an even earlier stage of exploration. In one of the demos I saw, it read a salmon teriyaki recipe in a Google Doc and then complied with the request of director of product management Jaclyn Konzelmann to go off to Safeway’s site, find the necessary vegetables, and place them in a shopping cart. It took several minutes to perform this task and painstakingly explained what it was doing in a pane next to the browser window. For now, Mariner can’t see the shopping process through to actually placing an order, which—considering scenarios like AI getting confused and accidentally buying 10,000 onions, or maybe even doing so on purpose—is probably just as well. The point of Mariner’s cautious approach, Konzelmann told me, is to err on the side of transparency and avoid potential problems: “We just think it’s really important at this stage of where this research prototype is to keep the human front and center and able to control what’s happening.” Of course, tech enthusiasts might think it’s kind of cool to have AI help with tasks such as veggie shopping even if it doesn’t save any time. Indeed, King told me that Google’s trusted testers skew more toward AI expertise than the general population, so the company can learn only so much from them. “At the moment, they’ve mostly been those who are familiar [with AI] because we’re in such early stages,” she says. “But as we expand, it’s really important for us to have that mix of civil society and academia—the experts in that as well, and the broader public. Because we want our tools to be able to be used by everyone, not just those who already have that AI literacy.” Everyone I spoke with during my Google visit emphasized that Astra and Mariner will evolve further as the company learns how outsiders use them. “The whole team is configured in such a way that we can do this kind of exploration quite fast, and that’s the journey we’ve been on,” says Kavukcuoglu. The proof of their value will be in the AI features Google eventually ships. But they do seem promising as a way to make some initial headway. READ/LISTEN/WATCH/TRY The news, as picked by your friends. A decade ago, I wrote about Nuzzel , a wonderful app that curated new articles on the web using a strikingly simple yet effective algorithm: It showed you ones that had been shared by people you followed on Twitter. After being acquired by a company that was itself acquired by Twitter, Nuzzel shut down. But a new service called Sill feels like Nuzzel reborn, except that it uses the people you follow on Bluesky and/or Mastodon to find its news. It, too, is wonderful, and yet another good reason to use these social networks . Apple being born. Last week, I recommended The Verge’ s list of the best tech books of all time—but said most of my favorites weren’t on it. So from time to time, at least, I’ll share some of them here. There have been more books about Apple than any other tech company, yet the very first one— Michael Moritz’s The Little Kingdom: The Private Story of Apple Computer —remains one of the best. It’s a fun, funny, intimate look at the company and founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, which was published in 1984, before the Apple story got so sprawling that it tended to overwhelm many of the authors who tried to tell it. Moritz, then a Time reporter, went on to become a famed venture capitalist but revisited his book in 2009 in a new edition called Return to the Little Kingdom . Sadly, it seems to have fallen out of print again, even as an e-book, but both the original and updated versions are available at the Internet Archive.

With Boston standout Hilary Knight in the penalty box for a vicious boarding penalty on Sceptres defender Renata Fast, Miller made good on her rebound attempt on a shot by Daryl Watts with a half-open net. Fast recovered for an assist on the winner before 8,089 fans at Coca-Cola Coliseum. The Fleet challenged the goal, but video review deemed Miller’s shot was good. Sarah Nurse got Toronto on the board with a short-handed tally 11:50 into the first period and Emma Maltais added an empty-net strike with 12 seconds left. Boston’s Hilary Knight opened the scoring 3 minutes in, sending a slap shot past Toronto goalie Kristen Campbell, who registered 18 stops on the night. Toronto outshot Boston 41-19. Boston goalie Aerin Frankel, a big reason why her team advanced to the Walter Cup final last spring, had 38 saves. Sceptres: Billie Jean King MVP Natalie Spooner missed the season opener. The PWHL scoring champion underwent left knee surgery in June after getting injured in Game 3 of Toronto’s first-round series against Minnesota. Fleet: Defender Emma Greco played her first game for Boston. She was part of the Walter Cup-winning Minnesota team that defeated Boston in a three-game series last spring. With the game tied 1-1, the Sceptres failed to score during a 59-second 5-on-3 advantage midway through the second period. Boston blocked five shots during the span. Last year, Toronto enjoyed an 11-game win streak en route to its regular-season championship, including three wins against Boston. Boston will play its home opener on Wednesday, a rematch with the Walter Cup-champion Minnesota. Toronto visits Ottawa on Tuesday. AP women’s hockey: https://apnews.com/hub/womens-hockey
