However, despite the controversy surrounding her statements, the student's personal life took a tragic turn when she decided to move to Japan for further studies. Living alone in a foreign country, she struggled to make ends meet and eventually succumbed to starvation. Her death, a stark reminder of the harsh realities of life and the consequences of one's actions and words, has sent shockwaves through both Chinese and Japanese communities.

Ducks coach Kelly Graves provided multiple updates to reporters Thursday morning. Sofia Bell, Salimatou Kourouma and Sammie Wagner are all expected to miss Oregon’s games against Air Force and UC Irvine next week due to injury. While specific details were sparse on the nature of their injuries, Graves noted that Kourouma is getting closer to her season debut for the Ducks, Wagner will be out “a few more weeks,” and Bell — injured against USC on Saturday — could be out “a while” as her timeline has yet to be determined. Freshman guard Katie Fiso is back home in Seattle and has been away from the team after the recent passing of her father, Graves said. “She’s taking a little bit of time off to be with her family right now, which I think is important. Especially around the holidays,” Graves said. “This is a tough time when you’ve lost a parent.” The Ducks (7-3, 0-1 Big Ten) host Air Force (9-1) at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, and UC Irvine (6-3) at 6 p.m. on Dec. 19, both at Matthew Knight Arena. -- Ryan Clarke covers the Oregon Ducks and Big Ten Conference.

Games: The Quad City Storm (5-10-1-1, 12 points) return home to host the Pensacola Ice Flyers (4-12-1-0, 9 points) in a meeting of the two teams at the bottom of the SPHL standings. Puck drop both evenings at Vibrant Arena at The Mark is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. Promotions: There are events scheduled for both nights this weekend. Friday is Scouts Night with the Storm wearing Mossy Oak Camo jerseys. Proceeds from the jersey auction benefit Illowa Scout Council. Special scout ticket offers and patches are available through Fintan (fintan@quadcitystorm.com). There is also a Scout Sleepover on the ice available with select ticket packages. Saturday, the team will recognize Mascot Mania and Radar’s Glow in the Dark Birthday, which features mascots from the entire region at Vibrant Arena to celebrate and entertain. The first 1,000 kids ages 12 and younger receive a replica jersey, courtesy of Tyson. The action on the ice starts with a laser show and, for the first time ever, the team will be wearing glow in the dark jerseys that will be auctioned postgame. History: This is the first meeting this season between the two clubs. Last season, QC was 4-1-0-0 against the Ice Flyers and the Storm are 8-2-2-1 over Pensacola the last five years. Familiar faces, different places: In a unique twist, QC and Pensacola were partners in a pair of trades this week. QC sent LW Alex Laplante (2 goals, 2 assists, 4 points in 15 games with a -7 plus/minus) and the rights to centerman Matt Ustaski (0 goals, 2 assists, 2 points in 5 games with a -2 rating) to the Ice Flyers in return for future considerations. Ustaski subsequently took a call-up to the ECHL Orlando Solar Bears and is not on the Pensacola active roster. Former QC netminder Kevin Resop is also on Pensacola’s roster, that numbered 17 as of Thursday. Game notes: Both of these teams continue to re-work their rosters. Pensacola has made 10 moves already this month, including losing centermen Greg Smith (1 goal, 9 assists, 10 points in 17 games with a -4 rating) and Cameron Cook (6-5-11, -11 plus/minus) to ECHL call-ups. Smith went to Adirondack and Cook to Reading. ... Pensacola is 0-2 this month having lost at Birmingham and to Macon last weekend. ... QC has not won a game in its last five starts. The Storm are coming in off a three-game weekend in Fayetteville in which they lost all three games by 4-3 scores. The opener was a shootout loss in which QC gained a point in the standings. ... Pensacola’s top scorer is former Peoria Riverman Cayden Cahill (4-6-10). ... QC has a pair of 20-point scorers in Leif Mattson (11-11-22) and Weiland Parrish (4-16-20). ... Pensacola is being outscored 66-41 this season and QC is being outscored 68-47. Those are the top two goals-against numbers in the league and the only ones over 60. ... Pensacola’s 41 goals are tied with Macon for the fewest in the league. — compiled by Tom JohnstonThe drop in gasoline prices is also good news for industries that heavily rely on fuel, such as transportation, logistics, and manufacturing.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Fourteen North Korean nationals have been indicted in a scheme using information technology workers with false identities to contract with U.S. companies — workers who then funneled their wages to North Korea for development of ballistic missiles and other weapons, the head of the FBI office in St. Louis said Thursday. The scheme involving thousands of IT workers generated more than $88 million for the North Korean government, Ashley T. Johnson, special agent in charge of the St. Louis FBI office, said at a news conference. In addition to their wages, the workers stole sensitive information from companies or threatened to leak information in exchange for extortion payments, Johnson said.

Suchir Balaji, a former OpenAI engineer and whistleblower who helped train the artificial intelligence systems behind ChatGPT and later said he believed those practices violated copyright law, has died, according to his parents and San Francisco officials. He was 26. Balaji worked at OpenAI for nearly four years before quitting in August. He was well-regarded by colleagues at the San Francisco company, where a co-founder this week called him one of OpenAI's strongest contributors who was essential to developing some of its products. “We are devastated to learn of this incredibly sad news and our hearts go out to Suchir’s loved ones during this difficult time,” said a statement from OpenAI. Balaji was found dead in his San Francisco apartment on Nov. 26 in what police said “appeared to be a suicide. No evidence of foul play was found during the initial investigation.” The city's chief medical examiner's office confirmed the manner of death to be suicide. His parents Poornima Ramarao and Balaji Ramamurthy said they are still seeking answers, describing their son as a “happy, smart and brave young man” who loved to hike and recently returned from a trip with friends. Balaji grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and first arrived at the fledgling AI research lab for a 2018 summer internship while studying computer science at the University of California, Berkeley. He returned a few years later to work at OpenAI, where one of his first projects, called WebGPT, helped pave the way for ChatGPT. “Suchir’s contributions to this project were essential, and it wouldn’t have succeeded without him,” said OpenAI co-founder John Schulman in a social media post memorializing Balaji. Schulman, who recruited Balaji to his team, said what made him such an exceptional engineer and scientist was his attention to detail and ability to notice subtle bugs or logical errors. “He had a knack for finding simple solutions and writing elegant code that worked,” Schulman wrote. “He’d think through the details of things carefully and rigorously.” Balaji later shifted to organizing the huge datasets of online writings and other media used to train GPT-4, the fourth generation of OpenAI's flagship large language model and a basis for the company's famous chatbot. It was that work that eventually caused Balaji to question the technology he helped build, especially after newspapers, novelists and others began suing OpenAI and other AI companies for copyright infringement. He first raised his concerns with The New York Times, which reported them in an October profile of Balaji . He later told The Associated Press he would “try to testify” in the strongest copyright infringement cases and considered a lawsuit brought by The New York Times last year to be the “most serious.” Times lawyers named him in a Nov. 18 court filing as someone who might have “unique and relevant documents” supporting allegations of OpenAI's willful copyright infringement. His records were also sought by lawyers in a separate case brought by book authors including the comedian Sarah Silverman, according to a court filing. “It doesn’t feel right to be training on people’s data and then competing with them in the marketplace,” Balaji told the AP in late October. “I don’t think you should be able to do that. I don’t think you are able to do that legally.” He told the AP that he gradually grew more disillusioned with OpenAI, especially after the internal turmoil that led its board of directors to fire and then rehire CEO Sam Altman last year. Balaji said he was broadly concerned about how its commercial products were rolling out, including their propensity for spouting false information known as hallucinations. But of the “bag of issues” he was concerned about, he said he was focusing on copyright as the one it was “actually possible to do something about.” He acknowledged that it was an unpopular opinion within the AI research community, which is accustomed to pulling data from the internet, but said “they will have to change and it’s a matter of time.” He had not been deposed and it’s unclear to what extent his revelations will be admitted as evidence in any legal cases after his death. He also published a personal blog post with his opinions about the topic. Schulman, who resigned from OpenAI in August, said he and Balaji coincidentally left on the same day and celebrated with fellow colleagues that night with dinner and drinks at a San Francisco bar. Another of Balaji’s mentors, co-founder and chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, had left OpenAI several months earlier , which Balaji saw as another impetus to leave. Schulman said Balaji had told him earlier this year of his plans to leave OpenAI and that Balaji didn't think that better-than-human AI known as artificial general intelligence “was right around the corner, like the rest of the company seemed to believe.” The younger engineer expressed interest in getting a doctorate and exploring “some more off-the-beaten path ideas about how to build intelligence,” Schulman said. Balaji's family said a memorial is being planned for later this month at the India Community Center in Milpitas, California, not far from his hometown of Cupertino. —————- EDITOR’S NOTE — This story includes discussion of suicide.

Forget Chrome—Google Starts Tracking All Your Devices In 8 WeeksIncoming City Council President Joe LaCava said he is “neutral” on efforts by some La Jolla residents to create a separate city, but pointed out that it would be very difficult to accomplish. “I have chosen to remain neutral because clearly La Jollans are looking for someone who can give them objective answers,” he said when the question was asked during a press conference on Tuesday. LaCava represents District 1 , which stretches from Pacific Beach through Carmel Valley to Pacific Highlands Ranch, and noted that his own residence would be in the separate city proposed by The Association for the City of La Jolla , a nonprofit group. He acknowledged that new cities have incorporated in San Diego County in recent years, citing Encinitas and Santee, but noted that seceding from an existing city is much harder. “In the state of California only one community has successfully detached from another city, and that was Coronado in the 1800s. That speaks to the challenge,” LaCava said. We have launched our year-end campaign. Our goal: Raise $50,000 by Dec. 31. Help us get there. Times of San Diego is devoted to producing timely, comprehensive news about San Diego County. Your donation helps keep our work free-to-read, funds reporters who cover local issues and allows us to write stories that hold public officials accountable. Join the growing list of donors investing in our community's long-term future. On its website, the La Jolla association claims residents of the wealthy area would benefit from improved roads, greater safety, prioritization of local projects and having a voice in Sacramento. The proposed city boundaries would be largely based on the 92037 Zip Code but not include UC San Diego. “It’s a small group that has brought this forward.. They go under the tag line, if I’m not mistaken, of ‘imagine,'” said LaCava. “To run a city takes more than just ‘imagine.’ There are a lot of details that have to be worked out.” Seceding from San Diego would require voters in both La Jolla and the rest of the city to approve the separation. Volunteers have been collecting signatures to petition the Local Agency Formation Commission to study the feasibility of a separate city of La Jolla, one of the steps required before a vote is possible.

While the interest from Premier League clubs may be flattering for Bellingham, it is unlikely to sway his commitment to Dortmund. The midfielder is aware of the importance of regular playing time and a stable environment for his development, and he seems content with his current situation. With Dortmund also unwilling to entertain offers for their star player, any potential move seems off the cards for now.None
Ultimately, the outcome of the match will depend on several factors, including the form of both teams, individual performances, and tactical decisions made by the coaches. Can Barcelona continue their unbeaten streak against Dortmund, or will the German side finally emerge victorious? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – it will be a thrilling encounter between two top European clubs.In the lead-up to the highly anticipated El Clasico match between Real Madrid and Barcelona, all eyes were on how the two teams were preparing for the showdown.

We love pressing it, whether the injury be grave or slight In the midst of a fairly fierce diplomatic row between India and Bangladesh, a senior BNP neta has called upon Bangladeshis to boycott all Indian products and to instead buy and use only ‘national’ products. As a symbolic gesture, he burned a Made in India sari that belonged to his wife. This presumably has strained relations with both India and his wife. This looks oddly like a page from the Indian playbook. It reminds me of a popular Kannada idiom Suryange torch aa? and the equally funny Lakshmige blank cheque aa? which roughly translate to ‘flashing a torch at the sun’ and ‘having the audacity to give a blank cheque to Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth’. Indians are masters of taking offence and boycotting goods and services as a response to the slightest slight or the most grievous infringement. Calls for boycott of goods, movies, books, persons and communities at large seem to be the most popular Indian hashtag on X, including a present counter-call to boycott Bangladesh products. A boycott seems to be our first line of defence against foreign aggression and quite a popular national pastime. Though India’s share of total Chinese exports is a measly 3%, we have tried to teach a lesson to China for border transgressions by boycotting minor products, not to mention our social media war cries scripted on Chinese-made mobile phones. Equally, we boycott movies, streaming platforms and even the entire Bollywood movie industry for hurting religious sentiments, actors for not dressing appropriately, companies for running ad campaigns that promote interfaith marriages, and so on. Aren’t we worried that, at this rate, we will not be left with much in terms of choice? Many of our boycott movements take inspiration from the Swadeshi movement, probably the last time such boycott worked. There also seems to be a universal ‘pay it forward’ scheme. Bangladesh boycotts Indian products, India boycotts Chinese goods, China itself had boycotted Japanese goods, Americans have boycotted both Chinese and Japanese products, and almost all countries have tried and failed to boycott American products. The only common element is that all these movements failed in achieving their objectives, except giving a minor sense of self-righteous accomplishment. Given its ineffectiveness, can we finally say that it’s time to develop better responses to serious issues and maybe boycott the boycott as our action of first resort?used less frequently, or attracting negative comments.
