This missing vitamin could stop cancer cells in their tracks
Site: ScienceDaily
Cancer cells are known for their āglutamine addiction,ā but many can escape this weakness by switching to alternative fuels. Researchers found that vitamin B7 acts like a metabolic ālicense,ā enabling this escape route through a key enzyme. Without biotin, cancer cells lose that flexibility and stop growing. Mutations in a cancer-linked gene can make this vulnerability even stronger, offering a promising new target for therapy.

Hostility to Trump Bars Global Recognition of Israeli-American Military Defeat of Iran | The New York Sun Added: Apr 20, 2026
Hostility to Trump Bars Global Recognition of Israeli-American Military Defeat of Iran | The New York Sun
The Tehran regime cannot possibly continue to pretend to be fighting a war for more than a few more weeks.
The desperate fishtailing of the Iranian government factions is still being construed by President Trumpās opponents as a masterpiece of Iranian tactical and diplomatic maneuver while the great and boastful American monster lurches ineffectually about the stage. Blind and terminal hatred of Mr. Trump as a public personality, in America and some other countries, has so far largely prevented recognition of the current Iran war as the overwhelming and seismic triumph of the United States and Israel that it is. It is the swiftest military defeat of a country since the German occupation of Denmark in less than six hours in 1940.There have been few episodes in international relations more comical in recent years than Iran preening itself on having apparently struck the Achillesā heel of the West in the Strait of Hormuz, and then accusing America of āpiracyā for blockading Iran. The last such absurd accusation that comes to mind was Hitlerās denunciation of Stalin as āa cold-hearted blackmailerā in 1945. He may have been, but it was hardly Hitlerās place to complain about it.It is easy to forget the sequence: Iran relaunched its nuclear weapons program after the Americans had destroyed it with deep penetration bombs last summer. The United States and Israel resumed air war on Iran to destroy its military capacity completely. The Iranians attacked the unoffending Gulf oil-producing states and claimed to shut the Strait of Hormuz to create an oil crisis that would inconvenience the Americans and cause extreme economic damage to oil-importing countries. The Americans promised complete destruction of Iranian infrastructure if Iran did not end its purported closure of the Hormuz Strait. It was agreed that there would be high-level talks between Iran and America in Pakistan, a two-week cease-fire was agreed, and Iran promised to open the strait. The talks failed after one day, Iranās claim to close the strait continued, as did the cease-fire, and the United States announced the blockade of Iranian ports ending Iranian oil exports. Iran announced the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, America announced the continuation of its blockade of Iran, and Iran announced the resumption of the closing of the Strait after one day. America continues the blockade of Iran which costs that country over $400 million a day, and has warned that if there is any violation of the cease-fire by Iran, the United States and Israel will destroy Iranās electricity supply, oil refining capacity, and all of its major bridges. This is generally known in American military circles as ābridge and powerplant day,ā when all of those are destroyed and Iran involuntarily retreats into an atomized society with no electricity and little communication between its thousands of communities. It is a little like what President Eisenhower described as āa Gilbert and Sullivan warā when Communist Chinaās premier, Chou En-lai, announced in 1958 that Beijing would bombard the tiny Free Chinese islands in the Formosa Strait, Quemoy and Matsu, every other day. America and Israel have destroyed 90 percent of Iranās ability to fire conventional missiles against other countries and all of its naval vessels above approximately 40 feet in length and its entire air defenses, and have closed its airspace and its ports. America has suffered eight combat fatalities plus a noncombat air crash in which five of their personnel died, and Israel has suffered 35 deaths from Iran missile attacks. Despite the almost complete destruction of their armed forces and heavy damage to their administrative and police apparatus and their defense related industries, Iran has lost a little over 3,000 people.We are almost back to the age of chivalry where casualties were confined to military personnel and very few of those. The worldās principal terrorism-supporting state can no longer afford to support terrorism. Historians will consider it inconceivable that prevailing press coverage and widespread world opinion have largely endorsed the delusion that because the government of Iran still functions, erratically and in factions, it has won this war: the Islamic Republicās mythology that if it survives at all, it wins.This is a fallacy. It has lost and the regime can be eliminated entirely either by an indefinite air and maritime blockade or by the next phase of unanswerable aerial attacks: bridge and powerplant days. This war has been so one-sided, syncopated, and swift, and with minimal civilian casualties so that there is very little film footage to permit the usual claims of war crimes and genocide, that there is an unreality about it.The war on terrorism has almost been won. The right of Israel to exist as a Jewish state, albeit with continuing uncertainty about its exact borders, has been accepted by everyone except the decapitated and fragmented regime in Tehran, and the nuclear non-proliferation regime has miraculously revived. Iran cannot possibly continue to pretend to be fighting a war for more than a few more weeks. After that there will be the first serious opportunity for peaceful local self-government in the Middle East in all of its history going back to the Old Testament. The peculiar antagonism of some people to Mr. Trump is just a passing personality maladjustment. They will get over it, in a safer world.

Is a 'super' El NiƱo coming this summer, and how could it impact weather in the United States? Added: Apr 20, 2026
Is a āsuperā El NiƱo coming this summer, and how could it impact weather?
Site: NewsNation
Federal officials say a stronger El NiƱo doesnāt necessarily equate to more extreme weather.
(NewsNation) ā Federal officials say there is a growing chance the climate phenomenon known as El NiƱo will develop this summer, with some forecasts suggesting a historically strong one is on its way. El NiƱo is a warming of the ocean's surface in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean, according to the United States Geological Survey. The pattern occurs once every two to seven years and can heavily influence weather patterns worldwide. In the United States, El NiƱo can increase the likelihood of severe weather, including storms, flooding, and landslides in Southern California, as well as heavy rainfall and flooding in states along the Gulf Coast, according to the Oceanography Department at the Naval Postgraduate School. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration gives a roughly 60% chance El NiƱo will emerge between May and July of this year, with that probability rising to 90% between Aug. and Oct. NOAA announced earlier this month that La NiƱa, the opposite phase of the climate cycle, characterized by cooler-than-average sea surface temperatures, has officially ended. The "super El NiƱo" circumstance occurs when temperatures rise at least 2.0Ā°C above normal, according to Matthew Sittel, assistant state climatologist at Kansas State University. While this level of El NiƱo is rare, with only four since 1950, NOAA says there's approximately a 50% chance this year's could develop into a āstrongā or āvery strongā one. The last super El NiƱo occurred during 2015 and lasted into 2016. Federal officials note that a stronger El NiƱo doesnāt necessarily equate to more extreme weather. āStronger events do not always mean bigger weather and climate impacts," according to NOAA. "Stronger events make it more likely that certain impacts could occur.ā The impacts of El NiƱo are typically felt in the United States during the cool months, between Oct. and May, according to NOAA. The super El NiƱo prediction means the traditional weather impacts of the phenomenon, such as warm, dry winter weather in the northern half of the country, and a wetter, colder winter for the southern states, are increasingly likely to occur, Nexstar's Alix Martichoux reports. If El NiƱo starts in the summer, as forecasters currently expect, it could also dramatically increase temperatures and contribute to heat waves before winter arrives, Martichoux added. This comes on the heels of a record-breaking spring, during which many states have set all-time heat records. A strong El NiƱo could also lead to a milder hurricane season in the Atlantic. Andy Hazelton, associate scientist at the University of Miami CIMAS, predicted it might be āthe quietest season since 2015.ā Nexstar's Alix Martichoux and Jeremy Tanner contributed to this report.

AI pioneer Yann LeCun rejects Anthropicās 50 percent job loss prediction: 'Destructive and dangerous' | Mint
Added: Apr 20, 2026AI pioneer Yann LeCun rejects Anthropicās 50 percent job loss prediction: 'Destructive and dangerous' | Mint
Site: mint
Yann Lecun has criticized Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei for predicting AI could eliminate 50% of tech jobs, asserting that economists, not AI lab leaders, should analyze the job market's future.
Former Meta AI Chief Scientist Yann Lecun has criticized Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei for his remarks that AI will lead to reduction in 50% of all tech jobs. Lecun noted that AI lab CEOs inlcuding himself, OpenAI chief Sam Altman, Yoshua Bengio, and Geoffrey Hinton (widely regarded as Godfather of AI) are not the right experts on how the technology will affect jobs and economy.Instead, Lecun noted that the economists can be a better judge of how AI will affect the job market.āDario is wrong. He knows absolutely nothing about the effects of technological revolutions on the labor market. Don't listen to him, Sam, Yoshua, Geoff, or me on this topic. Listen to economists who have spent their career studying thisāWhen a user in replies pointed out that the clip of Dario was from an interview around 6 months back, Lecun responded writing, āIt's still wrong, destructive, and dangerous.:āNotably, Lecun had also recently criticized Anthropic for spreading fear about its Mythos AI model which it revealed earlier in the month but refused to release to the public due to cybersecurity risks.Replying to a post on X, Lecun wrote, āMythos drama = BS from self-delusion.āDario Amodei's warning on AI replacing humans:Notably, this is not the first time that Amodei has warned about the impact of AI on the job market. The Anthropic CEO has been known to make statements warning about the potential risks of the technology that his company is at the forefront of.In an interview last year, Amodei had called for the end of āsugar-coatingā by AI companies on what the technology could bring next including mass layoffs across technology, finance, law and other white-collar jobs. Amodei has warned that AI coudl wipe off nearly 50% of the entry-level white collar jobs in the next one to five years.In his essay āThe Adolescence of Technologyā written earlier this year, Amodei had warned that āAI isnāt a substitute for specific human jobs but rather a general labor substitute for humans.āāI suspect weāll have powerful AI (which would be, technologically speaking, enough to do most or all jobs, not just entry level) in much less than 5 years.ā he wroteNot everyone agrees with Dario:Anthropic's critics have warned that the company's commitment to safety may be a calculated business strategy instead. In a leaked memo OpenAI's Chief Revenue Officer Denise Dresser wrote, Anthropic's narrative is "built on fear, restriction, and the idea that a small group of elites should control AI."Meanwhile, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had also criticized Anthropic's policy and said last year that he "pretty much disagree[s] with almost everything" on the topic said by Dario Amodei.āHe believes that AI is so scary that only they should do itā¦[he believes] that AI is so expensive, nobody else should do it ā¦ And three, AI is so incredibly powerful that everyone will lose their jobs, which explains why they should be the only company building it.ā he noted

As Amazon and SpaceX are 'busy' sending complaint letters about each other to FCC, Elon Musk congratulates Jeff Bezos' on Blue Origin's New Glenn vertical landing on a droneship - The Times of India
Site: The Times of India
The Times of India brings the Latest & Top Breaking News on Politics and Current Affairs in India & around the World, Cricket, Sports, Business, Bollywood News and Entertainment, Science, Technology, Health & Fitness news & opinions from leading columnists.
Jeff Bezos-owned Blue Origin launched the New Glenn rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on April 19. The rocket was sent into orbit using the same booster from the previous mission, NG-2. This milestone advances Blue Origin's reusable rocket capabilities for lower-cost orbital launches, following the mission's partial success in attempting to deploy a direct-to-cellphone satellite despite an off-nominal payload orbit. Bezos shared a video of New Glenn first-stage booster executing a successful vertical landing on a droneship in the Atlantic in an X post. The post caught the attention of SpaceX CEO Elon Musk who congratulated Jeff Bezos on the achievement. āCongrats,ā wrote Elon Musk. Earlier this month, the SpaceX CEO Elon Musk complimented Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' photograph of Blue Origin rocket. Replying to a post sharing a nighttime photograph of Blue Originās New Glenn rocket standing tall on the launch pad, the worldās richest persona said āLooks doodā. Elon Musk's SpaceX sends letter to FCCThe compliments come as Amazon and SpaceX continue to file complaint letters against each other with the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Recently, Elon Musk's SpaceX filed a formal letter with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) about Amazon's petition to deny SpaceXās 1 million-satellite proposal for orbiting data centers. In the letter, SpaceX argues that if regulators apply Amazonās criticisms to its application then they must also apply the same standards to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin, who himself has filed an application for 51,600 AI satellites (original datacenter).In its filing, Bezos rocket company Blue Origin proposes to launch up to 51,600 datacenter satellites. The filing argues that FCC should approve Blue Originās plans because āinsatiable demand for AI workloadsā means orbiting servers represent āa complement to terrestrial infrastructure by introducing a new compute tier that operates independently of Earth-based constraints.ā The filing says that the explosive growth in artificial intelligence (āAIā) workloads, machine learning, and cloud computing is driving unprecedented demand for data center capacity that is already encountering severe roadblocks to scale through terrestrial infrastructure aloneSpaceX seems to be effectively turning Amazonās argument back on them, pushing for equal treatment across competing space projects.130408629
