The drone pilot who took out an LA firefighting plane pleads guilty to escape jail

While the Firefighting Aircraft was conducting its firefighting missions, defendant drove to the area near the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, California, and parked his vehicle on the top floor of a parking structure.

YouTube’s new Discord-like Communities are rolling out to more creators

YouTube is expanding the availability of its dedicated community space feature to more creators on the site, giving them more opportunities to connect with their fans without needing to lean on another platform like Discord. Only available for access via mobile devices, Communities first launched during the Made for YouTube event last fall, letting the creators write posts with images and text while also enabling fans to start discussions. “We’ve been testing Communities with a small group of creators and have heard positive feedback, which is why we’re excited to keep expanding access, says today’s post from YouTube. Creators can monitor and moderate via a Community Hub in the YouTube Studio app that combines the activity from their channel, and can also offer suggestions for replies to fans. YouTube is also renaming its previously existing Community tab to Posts to try to keep things clear between the two things: The tab will work just as it does today, just with a new name. Creators can still share updates and announcements via posts and viewers can …

Microsoft Paint is getting a Copilot button, too

Windows Insiders will soon see a Copilot icon in one more place: Paint. Insiders in the Canary and Dev channels will see the new button thanks to an update rolling out now, putting AI tools in one location. Clicking the Copilot button in the task bar will reveal a dropdown menu with generative features like Cocreator, Image Creator, and Generative Erase. Microsoft has been on a mission to put a Copilot icon everywhere it can — from your keyboard to the taskbar — and Paint is just the latest place for it to pop up. With today’s update, Windows 11 Insiders are also getting an update to the AI search opened up in preview earlier this month. Now, the “improved search” will allow you to find photos in the cloud with natural language; previously, AI search was limited to local files. When you perform a search, you’ll see the cloud files show up alongside the local images. This update is rolling out to Windows 11 Insiders in the Dev and Beta channels. Disclaimer: We do …

Thandel is all set to hit theatres on February 7 in Hindi, Telegu and Tamil. Four years after Love Story, Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi are back! While Thandel follows the story of a fisherman and the challenges he faces when he gets captured by Pakistani coast guards while fishing, a love story forms the heart of the narrative. In an exclusive chat with News18 Showsha, Chaitanya quips that directors, more often than not, rope in him and Sai for tragic love stories. “I wouldn’t say that our dynamic is too tragic this time around (laughs). We did Love Story before this and it got very painful in between but the ending was positive,” he tells us. As he discusses Thandel, he shares his stance on the dramatic and erratic nature of love and relationships and states, “Thandel is kind of similar in terms of the love …

Dozens who died over Washington shared a flight but each had their own story | World News

The moments Grace Maxwell had shared with her grandfather over the years had been “his greatest joy.” And a trip home to Wichita, Kansas, had allowed the 20-year-old to be by his side one final time. Dozens who died over Washington shared a flight but each had their own story Maxwell, a mechanical engineering major, was returning to college just a day after her grandfather’s funeral when she and 66 others were killed in Wednesday’s collision between an American Airlines jet and an Army helicopter over Washington, D.C. One of the victims was a young lawyer from the capital city whose meeting in Wichita ended early enough for her to make a flight back for her birthday celebration. Another was a police colonel whose home was in the Philippines, but whose work had taken him to Kansas to check out equipment the force planned to purchase. As Maxwell’s classmates in Ohio filled the pews of Cedarville University’s chapel Friday, they joined others mourning the singular lives lost and grasping to make sense of the random …

Adoption of AI in Indian healthcare sector faces several challenges: Survey

Adoption of artificial intelligence in the Indian healthcare sector faces several challenges, including lack of specialised talent, data complexities and difficulties in scaling up, and requires attention going forward, the Economic Survey 2024-25 tabled in Parliament flagged on Friday. The National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence (2018) developed by NITI Aayog discussed how AI could help address the challenges of quality, accessibility and affordability for a large section of the population. The strategy emphasised how AI combined with robotics and the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) can potentially become the `new nervous system for healthcare`, providing solutions to address healthcare problems and helping the government achieve universal health for all, the report stated. According to NASSCOM, the widespread adoption of AI in healthcare can create new opportunities for the sector and bridge the accessibility, affordability, and quality gaps. “Adoption of AI can help reduce drug discovery and delivery costs; it can improve the quality of medical devices, improve diagnosis accuracy and enable real-time monitoring of remote patients. For healthcare providers, AI helps streamline the overall patient …
