Giants bring in Russell Wilson as stopgap QB solution
The 36-year old will be the new-but-old quarterback for the Giants. They needed a veteran on their roster and Wilson certainly qualifies.
And the answer is … Russell Wilson.
The 36-year old will be the old-but-new quarterback for the Giants.
Wilson will likely be a short-term option on a one-year deal worth up to $21 million — $10.5 million guaranteed — as the Giants continue to hope they can select a quarterback up high in next month’s NFL Draft, a rookie to take over whenever he is deemed ready.
Consider Wilson a consolation prize, as the Giants had their sights on Matthew Stafford and then Aaron Rodgers before settling for their No. 3 choice.
Last week, they signed Jameis Winston to a two-year deal for $8 million — backup money.
That is the role he will fill behind Wilson, as the Giants now believe they have a quarterback they can put on the field on Opening Day and thereafter capable of winning games for them.
Столь масштабная деятельность Гордиевского на ниве передачи противоположной стороне секретов советских разведывательных служб в итоге все-таки ему аукнулась. В 1985 году о наличии некоего «крота» проинформировал Лубянку агент — разведчик Олдрич Эймс. После этого подозрения пали на главу резидентуры в Лондоне. Гордиевского срочно вызвали в Москву: мол, предстоит важное совещание. По прибытии в советскую столицу полковника сразу же задержали и подвергли долгим допросам. Однако опытный спец сумел-таки выкрутиться и опровергнуть все подозрения и обвинения в свой адрес. Его освободили, но взяли под строгий контроль.
Видя за собой «хвост» и понимая, что крах неизбежен, Гордиевский решил бежать из страны, бросив здесь жену и двух дочерей. Аварийный план на сей счет был заблаговременно проработан с британской SIS. Известно, что условный сигнал о необходимости проведения операции по его уходу на Запад предатель подал, появившись в условленном месте в заранее установленное время с приметной сумкой одного из популярных английских сетевых супермаркетов в руках. Этот пароль был снят сотрудником британской миссии в Москве.
Далее партию разыграли как по нотам. Полковник смог оторваться от слежки, организованной оперативниками с Лубянки, и уехать в Ленинград. Оттуда перебежчик тоже незамеченным добрался до Выборга. В этом приграничном городе состоялась встреча со спасителями — британскими дипломатами. Гордиевского спрятали в багажнике посольского автомобиля, закрыв сверху специальной маскирующей панелью, и вывезли на территорию соседней Финляндии, благополучно миновав на границе досмотр советских пограничников.
Chinese firms have managed to gain access to U.S. strategic dual-use technologies via certain third parties, he said, referring to loopholes that have allowed Chinese companies access to U.S. technologies despite restrictions.
"U.S. officials will continue to step up tracking and tracing operations aimed at the smuggling of advanced semiconductors made by Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices," he said.
The expanded export restrictions come at a time when tensions between Washington and Beijing have been rising with the Trump administration ratcheting up tariffs against China.
The rapid rise of Chinese AI startup DeepSeek has boosted the adoption of open-source low-cost AI models in China, putting pressure on leading U.S. competitors with higher-cost, proprietary models.
The Biden administration imposed sweeping export controls against China, encompassing everything from semiconductors to supercomputers under the so-called "small yard, high fence" policy. The approach aims to place restrictions on a small number of technologies with significant military potential while maintaining normal economic exchange in other areas.
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said last month that employees have built or are in the process of building roughly 1,000 generative AI applications across the company. Its cloud unit offers a chatbot for businesses, called Q. In commerce, the company has rolled out services for consumers as well as its millions of third-party sellers.
Amazon is also exploring ways that artificial intelligence can address medical needs. The company is testing a chatbot on its website and mobile app called "Health AI," which can answer health and wellness questions, "provide common care options for health care needs," and suggest products.
While Rufus, Amazon's shopping chatbot, can suggest products like ice packs and ibuprofen, Health AI goes further, providing users with medical guidance and care tips, such as how to deal with cold symptoms or the flu. The site says the service can't provide personalized medical advice.
Some responses feature a "clinically verified" badge, which denotes information that's been "reviewed by US-based licensed clinicians," Amazon says.
Health AI also steers users to Amazon's online pharmacy, along with clinical services offered by One Medical, the primary care provider it acquired for roughly $3.9 billion in 2022.
Amazon recently began testing a health-related AI assistant that can provide medical guidance and suggest products.
Amazon's spokesperson said the health assistant uses Bedrock, a service launched by Amazon's cloud unit that accesses AI models from the company and third parties.
"We are collecting feedback from customers, and plan to introduce new features to enhance the experience in the future," the spokesperson said in a statement.
More consumers are embracing generative AI as a shopping tool, and with features like Health AI and Interests AI, Amazon wants shoppers to use its own services over rivals like OpenAI's ChatGPT.
With enough use, Amazon could gain valuable insights on the ways that people are interacting with AI assistants as the company prepares to overhaul Alexa, the digital assistant it launched more than a decade ago.
Amazon announced Alexa+, a new version of the technology embedded with generative AI, late last month. The company says that Alexa+, which has yet to roll out, is capable of handling more complex tasks and can serve as an "agent" by taking actions for users without their direct involvement.
Andrew Bell, an Amazon e-commerce manager for the National Fire Protection Association who also publishes research on Amazon's patent filings and AI development, came across the new shopping and health features and recently posted about them on LinkedIn.
"Given 23andMe's reported financial distress, I remind Californians to consider invoking their rights and directing 23andMe to delete their data and destroy any samples of genetic material held by the company," Bonta said in the release.
Adrianus Warmenhoven, who serves on the security advisory board at NordVPN, described genetic data as the "blueprint of your entire biological profile." He encouraged consumers to delete their information and be mindful of the companies they chose to share it with going forward.
"Monitor your digital footprint regularly, and you can also sign up for credit monitoring or identity theft protection services," Warmenhoven said in a statement to CNBC. "Revoke permissions you no longer require, shut down any account you don't use, and learn about how your data is used."

Hyperian Aerospace’s other Mach 10 speeding aircraft designs
Hyperian Aerospace has showcased designs for multiple hypersonic speed-capable aircraft on its website.
These include commercial passenger jets, military jets for surveillance and attack, hypersonic space planes, and even missiles.
There is also the mention of a 50-passenger capacity vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft family called SKYLIFT. The company states that the SKYLIFT family of aircraft will have a range of 3,000 miles – with an aim to serve the growing need for convenient air transport between smaller communities and major hubs.
The most impressive of the lot, however, would be the offensive HYPERMissiles HM1-HM3, which can have speeds ranging from Mach 15 to Mach 25.
The US needs to advance its hypersonic technology to match up with the advances made by China and Russia. The two countries already have hypersonic-capable missiles at their disposal, and Beijing is also testing hypersonic vehicles for other uses.
Although still in the design phase, these designs by US-based firms could prove to be a game-changer for the country in the long run when they materialize.
Much like the electromagnetic launch system, these systems would cut down on fuel costs. During a traditional rocket launch, a great deal of fuel and energy is required to reach escape velocity and fly to orbit.
These new experimental systems would generate much of that energy via the launch pad – or in SpinLaunch’s case, the centrifuge. This would greatly cut down on fuel costs.
What’s more, according to Li Ping, president of the Ziyang Commercial Space Launch Technology Research Institute, Galactic Energy’s electromagnetic launch pad technology could double payload capacity. The launch track would also require less maintenance than a traditional launch pad. This would enable a high launch cadence.
Of course, there’s a risk the experimental launch system won’t work. If it does, the reward could be enormous, as it could give China’s launch sector a key advantage over the competition. Successfully introducing electromagnetic launch technology to the world would be comparable to the advent of SpaceX’s pioneering reusable rocket technology.

Это подчёркивает специфику обсуждаемых вопросов на переговорах, связанных с безопасностью черноморской частью нашего государства, - говорит эксперт. - Несомненно, список обсуждаемых проблем был широк и он не был оглашён, но можно предположить, что одна из самых острых - это морской порт и город Одесса как важный традиционный коммуникационный узел на Чёрном море.
То, что на предстоящих раундах переговоров возможно участие представителей ООН, может свидетельствовать о возможности опеки со стороны этой организации над городом и портом Одессой, чтобы сделать его нейтральным, свободным для международных коммерческих связей как причерноморских государств, так и внерегиональных.
Какие трудности есть на пути заключения черноморских соглашений?
Решение проблемы безопасности судоходства в Чёрном море усложняется стремлением Великобритании усилить своё влияние в регионе на основе недавно подписанного Киевом и Лондоном 100-летнего соглашения о разностороннем сотрудничестве. Одним из пунктов является «создание совместной флотилии в Чёрном море».
