Food is one of the biggest industries in America. According to a report from CBS News Health Watch, it’s estimated that Americans spend a total of $1.7 trillion every year on food and beverages. However, there’s a big issue lurking underneath that most people don’t know. “American food companies keep secret much of what they put in their products,” the report indicated.1 For decades, food companies have taken advantage of a regulatory loophole known as the Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) rule, which allows manufacturers to determine the safety of their own additives without requiring FDA (U.S. Food and Drug…

Dario Amodei, the CEO of $61 billion AI startup Anthropic, said last month that AI will take over coding for software engineers within a year. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in January that Meta was developing AI that could code as well as a mid-level engineer this year. Last month, Sam Altman said that eventually, fewer software engineers would be needed. Meanwhile, a recent Pew Research survey found that half of AI experts predicted the technology would lead to fewer software development jobs over the next two decades. But despite so many CEOs and experts predicting that AI will replace,…

The traditional Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) have depended on rule-based or signature-based detection, which are challenged by evolving cyber threats. Through the introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI), real-time intrusion detection has become more dynamic and efficient. Today we’re going to discuss the various AI algorithms that can be investigated to identify what works best when it comes to identifying anomalies and threats in firewall security. Exploring AI Algorithms for Intrusion Detection Random Forest (RF) is a machine learning algorithm that generates several decision trees and aggregates their predictions in order to classify network traffic as malicious or normal. RF is extremely popular in IDS due to its fast processing, interpretability, and ability to remove false positives. RF-based firewalls can make data-driven security decisions at high speed without compromising accuracy. Support Vector Machines (SVM) operate by identifying the optimal hyperplane to differentiate between attack traffic and…

Image by Dillon Kydd of Unsplash For years, Baby Boomers were seen as the generation clinging to large family homes and resisting change. But that narrative is quickly shifting. More Boomers than ever are choosing to downsize—swapping sprawling suburban houses for smaller, more manageable spaces in walkable neighborhoods or quiet communities. The reasons behind this trend go far beyond decluttering or “retirement dreams.” Boomers are embracing lifestyle changes that promote freedom, affordability, and peace of mind—and their decisions hold surprising wisdom for younger generations trying to make sense of today’s complicated real estate market. This is why Boomers are downsizing…

NPR’s Ari Shapiro speaks with Caitlin Rivers of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health about long-term implications of measles outbreaks in West Texas, New Mexico and a dozen other states. ARI SHAPIRO, HOST: It’s been 25 years since measles was officially eliminated from the United States. That’s a technical term. In public health, it means measles has not had a steady 12-month spread. Right now, there are measles cases in several states. The biggest number is in west Texas, where two kids have died. To find out whether the U.S. can get this under control, we called Dr. Caitlin…

MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Agriculture (DA) has temporarily barred the entry of animals susceptible to foot and mouth disease (FMD) from Slovakia to prevent the highly contagious virus from entering the country and affecting local livestock. According to Memorandum Order No. 21, the DA recognized the need to prevent the entry of the FMD virus and “protect the health of the FMD-susceptible animal population” thus the temporary ban on animals and animal products from Slovakia, which reported FMD cases last month.
