"With all prayer and petition pray at all times" (Eph. 6:18). Make prayer an ongoing part of your day. As important as prayer is to your Christian life, you might expect Paul to list it as another piece of spiritual armor, but he doesn't. Instead, he makes it all-pervasive by instructing us to pray at all times. That's our spiritual lifeline—the air our spirits breathe. The effectiveness of each piece of armor is directly related to the quality of our prayers. We see the importance of prayer throughout the New Testament. Jesus instructed His disciples to be on the alert...

Tech billionaire Bill Gates warned that artificial intelligence had the potential to kill a billion people in the wrong hands — as he joined the call to put safety restrictions on the technology. The Microsoft co-founder called for greater government oversight on AI during a talk with NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday, where he suggested AI could be abused and lead to humanity’s near extinction. “AI is certainly powerful enough to drive events that cause a billion deaths,” he warned. “So even though it’s pretty hard to get to 100% [of humanity], there’s never been a weapon as powerful...

Explanation: What does the Andromeda galaxy really look like? The featured image shows how our Milky Way Galaxy's closest major galactic neighbor really appears in a long exposure through Earth's busy skies and with a digital camera that introduces normal imperfections. The picture is a stack of 223 images, each a 300 second exposure, taken from a garden observatory in Portugal during 2019. Obvious image deficiencies include bright parallel airplane trails, long and continuous satellite trails, short cosmic ray streaks, and bad pixels. These imperfections were actually not removed with Photoshop specifically, but rather greatly reduced with a series of...

A Colombian nonprofit that provided aid services to Venezuelan migrants, LGBTQ+ individuals, those with HIV, and others, has been debarred after an investigation revealed the organization’s former president and affiliates allegedly sexually exploited those it was purporting to help.

Starting on Sept. 15, the space agency’s PACE satellite (which stands for the Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem satellite) will circle the Earth every 98 minutes. While it’s overhead, the satellite will be collecting important environmental data, measuring how clouds and particles in the atmosphere absorb and reflect sunlight. Here’s where you (and everyone else on land) comes in: Scientists want to compare what they’re seeing in the sky with what you’re seeing on the ground. The pictures will help researchers to better understand the far-away images they’re capturing from space, said Dr. Andrew Sayer, the PACE atmosphere lead. Because...

Liability is much more effective than regulation at pushing companies to be safe.OpenAI and Anthropic are the Mercedes and BMW of artificial intelligence. No, not because they’re expensive and vulnerable to cheap imports from the Far East. And not because they exude obnoxious “The Best or Nothing” and “The Ultimate Driving Machine” Teutonic attitudes. Instead, they share a growing fear of liability.Some background: There are various levels of autonomous driving. In Level 2, AI controls the steering and speed, but drivers must keep their hands on the wheel and watch the road. Tesla’s oxymoronically named Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is Level...

To protect 300,000 trucks a year from a persistent pigeon invasion, the automaker turned to an ancient practice: falconryEl Charro works shifts at the Hermosillo plant where he flies around trying to scare pigeons. FordFord Motor’s assembly plant in Hermosillo, Mexico churns out over 300,000 pickup trucks and sports utility vehicles a year, employing 4,300 workers and a security guard known as “El Charro.” El Charro, a common term for a Mexican cowboy, is no ordinary watchman.

There may be others, as you rightly say. Now, last week was a shocking...

Salazar claimed...

I am sick and tired of the left’s war on data centers. Hey leftist idiot jerks, if you use a mobile device such as your phone, do any online searching, visit any website, have a bank account, or basically interact with the modern world in any way, a data center is not just involved but essential. So the two major Trojan horses are (a) water use and (b) electrical costs. Let’s address each in turn. (a) Water use: Data centers recycle their water. A massive data center fills up with about as much water as two hotel swimming pools. Then...

Swiss voters on Sunday looked set to reject a proposal to adopt a more restrictive form of neutrality that ⁠would have blocked their country from imposing economic sanctions or cooperating with NATO.

While Swiss neutrality has been internationally ⁠recognised since the end of the Napoleonic wars in ​1815, ⁠how the government implements it is not spelled out. The right-wing Swiss People’s Party (SVP) has said that Switzerland’s traditional position...
