We conducted a retrospective, observational study at four endoscopy centres in Poland taking part in the ACCEPT (Artificial Intelligence in Colonoscopy for Cancer Prevention) trial. These centres introduced AI tools for polyp detection at the end of 2021, after which colonoscopies had been randomly assigned to be conducted with or without AI assistance according to the date of examination. We evaluated the quality of colonoscopy by comparing two different phases: 3 months before and 3 months after AI implementation. We included all diagnostic colonoscopies, excluding those involving intensive anticoagulant use, pregnancy, or a history of colorectal resection or inflammatory bowel disease. The primary outcome was change in adenoma detection rate (ADR) of standard, non-AI assisted colonoscopy before and after AI exposure. Multivariable logistic regression was done to identify independent factors affecting ADR.
Yet, despite adhering to a long list of requirements and city requests, they diverge on everything from the number of buildings and amount and type of housing to what they would offer the public. Those include having no more off-street parking spaces than the 270 the lot has today, benefitting public transit by increasing demand for service in the area, and returning $9 million — a “fair share of revenue” — to Metro Transit. A request for proposals issued in April also outlined a number of city goals and recommendations, like having all-electric and energy-efficient buildings, a low ratio of parking spaces to units, plenty of electric vehicle charging stations and many subsidized units. Three developers responded by the city’s July 9 deadline.
Like Napoleon, Putin needs a settlement that will bring Russia back into the Western fold. Battlefield victory means little if Ukraine becomes a forever war. Like Alexander, Trump needs to find a way to turn Western defeat in Ukraine into a victory for him (as peacemaker) and a new way ahead, in which a losing war is magically turned into a stable and bountiful new strategic relationship.
Litigation is already looming. In the US, technology worker Derek Mobley has sued Workday, alleging an algorithm in its ubiquitous candidate-screening software discriminated against him on the basis of age, race and disability, throwing out his applications for more than 100 posts at different companies since 2017. The potential implications for the whole HR technology industry as it rolls out more sophisticated tools have “got everyone scared”, according to Stacia Garr, co-founder of RedThread Research, an HR technology research consultancy. (Workday has said the suit is “without merit”.)
To figure out who will win any given technology race, just look at the rate of acceleration of innovation & growth.
We’ve now had enough electric cars on the road – and for long enough – to have a good idea of how the battery holds up over time. Here we’ll focus on a metric used to capture the battery’s “State of Health” (SoH). It’s what percentage of a battery’s initial capacity is still usable after a given number of miles or years.
The name Hamna Wakaf might mean little to many readers. The name of its reported owner, however, is much better known. Multi-billionaire London real estate mogul Asif Aziz, who controls some of London’s most iconic properties, has been making quite the name for himself, described variously as “Mr West End” (Aziz owns everything from souvenir stores to high-end hotels in the West End) and, less generously, “the meanest landlord in Britain”.
Remarkably, investigations have found that most end up in one place: Huaqiangbei market in Shenzhen. Demand in China for second-hand phones is huge; those that cannot be unlocked are broken apart and rebuilt. And there is no better place to do that than Huaqiangbei, the world’s largest electronics market. Because Shenzhen is where many of the phones were made in the first place, there is a ready supply of skilled workers.

Ed Martin sends letter to Letitia James asking that she resign for “the good of the nation.”
The new FAL building is essentially a copy of the present FAL, doubling the final assembly line capacity for the 787. Boeing has reached rate seven and plans to be at rate 10 per month next year. The expansion is planned to be finished in 2028, after which Boeing will have the facilities to reach a rate of 16 787 per month.
Mark Bertolini is the CEO of Oscar Health. We cover the near-death experience that shaped so much of his life and leadership framework, how a decision to raise wages actually increased shareholder returns, and what Oscar’s strategy for disrupting the healthcare industry has in common with pirate ships.
The ultimate goal of this factory is to build one Starship rocket a day. This sounds utterly mad. For the entire Apollo program in the 1960s and 1970s, NASA built 15 Saturn V rockets. Over the course of more than three decades, NASA built and flew only five different iconic Space Shuttles. SpaceX aims to build 365 vehicles, which are larger, per year. Wandering around the Starfactory, however, this ambition no longer seems undoable. The factory measures about 1 million square feet. This is two times as large as SpaceX’s main Falcon 9 factory in Hawthorne, California. It feels like the company could build a lot of Starships here if needed.
A more apt label would be cash flow before bad stuff. But suppose for argument’s sake that all of Ford’s adjustments are defensible. Ford says it aims for shareholder distributions—including dividends and share buybacks—of 40% to 50% of adjusted free cash flow. It says it determines its first-quarter supplemental dividends based on the previous year’s adjusted free cash flow, suggesting that those payments count toward the prior year’s payout ratio. Calculated this way, Ford could come close to staying within the 40% to 50% range for 2025—if it hit the top of its guidance for adjusted free cash flow, skipped share buybacks completely, and decided not to pay a supplemental dividend in the first quarter of 2026. In that scenario, if Ford kept its regular dividend unchanged, its payout ratio for 2025 would be 53%, slightly higher than its target range. Ford has said it expects adjusted free cash flow of $3.5 billion to $4.5 billion this year, after factoring in $9 billion of capital expenditures.
I’ve written it for decades now: if you’re actually a “systems camera” maker, you need to enable the ecosystem that surrounds your product. Not partially, but fully. Canon is trying to not just control but own the entire EOS ecosystem. Witness the non-licensing and apparently suit-threatening surrounding the RF mount, for instance. I’d tend to say that Canon’s approach here is contradictory to one of their long-stated goals: own the majority of the camera market in volume.
In an email to Tesla last month, a top NHTSA official asked for more information about the size of the robotaxi fleet, whether company employees can remotely control the vehicles, and the maximum speed of the cars. The official also sought a test drive for NHTSA employees. It is unclear if one occurred.
Total revenue that SpaceX will receive from NASA this year is ~$1B out of ~$15B total, so ~7%. Moreover, NASA is paying SpaceX for astronaut & cargo transport to the Space Station, launching research satellites and some work for returning to the Moon.
“help build a purely AI software company called Macrohard. It’s a tongue-in-cheek name, but the project is very real!”
A local reporter pressed the Executive Director of Mpls for the Many today with some simple questions about the relationship between the Minneapolis DFL and the State DFL. This came after she criticized the process of overturning Fateh’s endorsement.
Revenue per room is down year on year in all but the most expensive hotels.
Nothing more fun at the Minnesota State Fair than getting super stoned and riding the SkyGlider.
But of the three bubbles he has inhabited in his working life, Clegg said he found Westminster “the most insufferable, partly just because of the living on past glories and the pomposity of it”. “I think what they’ll learn, which I learned, is you only have one crack at it.”
Meanwhile, the war goes on, which is another way of saying the destruction of Ukraine goes on. Talk about an unnecessary catastrophe.
“Drones and smart systems are redefining the modern battlefield,” Yu explained. “Rather than clinging to expensive legacy platforms, we must invest in capabilities that reflect the future of warfare.”
