“They’re very blatant,” said Dorit Reiss, a professor at UC Law San Francisco who studies vaccine law and policy. The group’s founder and director is William Lionberger, a chiropractor who has been licensed to practice in California since 1981, and who once maintained a practice north of San Diego. According to public records, he has also served as a police officer in a town near Sedona. (Lionberger declined a request for an on-the-record interview, and the organization did not answer a list of questions from Undark.) Interviewers who have hosted Lionberger on their shows describe him as affiliated with America’s…

A video that went viral this week shows an AI-generated take on the iconic sitcom “Friends” that’s so bizarre that it’s uncomfortable to watch. While the set appears to be largely recognizable, the cast members bear almost no resemblance to the show’s actual human actors. Performers also sprout random limbs, their hands teleport through doors, and at one point, towards the end of the video, one sloppified cast member mysteriously sheds a clone of herself, who immediately takes a seat on a nearby couch. Ironically, while it fudged the faces of the show’s well-known actors, the sounds of the voices…

Generating nuclear power takes a lot of energy—extreme heat, pressure, and radiation—that every part of a reactor must withstand each time. Naturally, engineering the perfect apparatus is a difficult task, but researchers continue to discover astonishing ways to advance nuclear technology, the latest of which involves a tiny chip with not-so-tiny performance. In a recent release, University of Maine researchers announced new microelectronic sensors that tolerate both the radiation levels and extreme temperatures of a nuclear reactor’s core. At the same time, the sensor captures real-time operational data, giving engineers and operators invaluable insight into the reactor’s activity. “Since many…

Elon Musk has told Joe Rogan that he hopes to unveil a flying car "before the end of the year." As Gizmodo has reported, Rogan asked Musk about about the long-delayed second-gen Tesla Roadster in his show, when the Tesla CEO suddenly started talking about wanting the vehicle to fly. If you'll recall, Tesla unveiled a new Roadster in 2017 and had plans to start deliveries in 2020, but its production got delayed again and again. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently tweeted that he'd been having difficulties getting a refund on the $50,000 deposit he made for one way back…

The England vs Australia live stream kicks off the Autumn Nations Series 2025 on Saturday and has all the makings of a classic between the two old foes. Both teams are fast-improving after an inconsistent few years and Steve Borthwick's hosts will be determined to put right a late defeat in this fixture last year.Borthwick has kept faith with the majority of the touring side that won a series in Argentina earlier this summer, which means the England coach has named six British & Irish Lions on a stacked bench, including Test match animal Tom Curry and hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie,…

This story originally appeared on Inside Climate News and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration.Fueled by unusually warm waters, Hurricane Melissa this week turned into one of the strongest Atlantic storms ever recorded. Now a new rapid attribution study suggests human-induced climate change made the deadly tropical cyclone four times more likely.Hurricane Melissa collided with Jamaica on Tuesday, wreaking havoc across the island before tearing through nearby Haiti and Cuba. The storm, which reached Category 5, reserved for the hurricanes with the most powerful winds, has killed at least 40 people across the Caribbean so far. Now weakened to…

Rangefinders can include a slew of features, which makes shopping as a novice confusing. The most important options in our testing include slope measurement (elevation gained or lost), a pinspotter (which zeroes in on the pin when tracking), weatherproofing, tournament mode, a cart magnet, and last but definitely not least, image stabilization.Other handy options from some of our favorites include an OLED display for a bright targeting overlay, and Bluetooth connectivity to pair with apps or other golf devices, such as a smartwatch for GPS data. The fancier you get, the more features you'll find, including options like wind speed…
