Pune student’s death after Basketball hoop collapse prompts Sports Ministry advisory

A tragic accident at a college campus in Pune has once again brought the safety of sports infrastructure under scrutiny, prompting the Sports Ministry to issue a nationwide advisory aimed at preventing similar incidents. On Sunday morning, 20-year-old marine engineering student Vishal Verma lost his life after a basketball pole collapsed on him at a campus in Maval taluka. Verma, a second-year BTech student, had been on his routine jog when he stopped at the court and attempted pull-ups on the hoop.

England’s Ashes debacle prompts ‘WILD thought’ from Kevin Pietersen for Brendon McCullum’s replacement: ‘He gets Test cricket’ | Cricket News

Kevin Pietersen knows a thing or two about how a bad Ashes can end careers. Although his final dismissal from the England squad was seen as a culmination of multiple events in the years leading up to it, the fact remains that the management pulled the plug on him after they received a 5-0 drubbing in the 2013/14 Ashes. Another casualty of that tour was then-head coach Andy Flower, with whom Pietersen had a tumultuous working relationship. However, the 45-year-old has now said that maybe it is time that Flower returned to the role after England’s 4-1 defeat to Australia in the 2025/26 Ashes. “This is a WILD thought. I reckon one of my wildest,” Pietersen posted. “Can England bring back Andy Flower now that he’s changed and in line with the modern day player? He gets Test Cricket. I’ve been told by many players that he’s changed his ways since our drama. He’s winning leagues so really does get the modern day player. VERY IMPORTANT! Wild, I know! Thoughts?” Pietersen’s post comes amid uncertainty …

xAI posts Grok’s behind-the-scenes prompts

A system prompt is a set of instructions served to a chatbot ahead of a user’s messages that developers use to direct its responses. xAI and Anthropic are two of the only major AI companies we checked that have made their system prompts public. In the past, people have used prompt injection attacks to expose system prompts, like instructions Microsoft gave the Bing AI bot (now Copilot) to keep its internal alias “Sydney” a secret, and avoid replying with content that violates copyrights. In the system prompts for ask Grok — a feature X users can use to tag Grok in posts to ask a question — xAI tells the chatbot how to behave. “You are extremely skeptical,” the instructions say. “You do not blindly defer to mainstream authority or media. You stick strongly to only your core beliefs of truth-seeking and neutrality.” It adds the results in the response “are NOT your beliefs.” xAI similarly instructs Grok to “provide truthful and based insights, challenging mainstream narratives if necessary” when users select the “Explain this …
