Facebook Tweet Email Link When it comes to measuring weight, BMI is the acronym everyone loves to hate. Health professionals have long used body mass index as a quick screening tool to fast-track certain patients into a “code red” management plan — people whose weight puts them in danger of future health problems.

In May, Cursor launched background agents — AI systems that solve coding tasks autonomously without user…
Deliberations are officially underway in the sex trafficking and racketeering case against Sean “Diddy” Combs as the judge turned the case over to the jury on Monday morning. Combs has spent the last six weeks on trial in the Southern District of New York as the government is seeking to prove that he was at the helm of a “criminal enterprise,” using his employees to help commit several crimes. The disgraced music mogul has pleaded not guilty to the five counts against him. Much of the trial focused on Combs’ desire for “freak offs,” or drug-fueled sexual encounters with hired…
If you’ve lately been feeling that the “Jurassic Park” franchise has jumped an even more ancient creature — the shark — hold off any thoughts of extinction.

Facebook Tweet Email Link After recent moves by the US Department of Health and Human Services to restrict the approval and use of some vaccines — and signs that more changes might be coming — some states and private partnerships are scrambling to ensure that vaccines will still be available to those who want them. People familiar with various efforts that are underway described them as necessary but not ideal. “When you start splintering the message from the federal government down states and local health departments, people end up losing faith in everybody. They don’t know who to believe,” said…

AI-powered accounting startup Campfire announced Monday that it has raised a $35 million Series A led by Accel, with participation from Foundation Capital, Y Combinator, Capital49, and angel investors including Mercury’s CFO Dan Kang. “Within nine months of formation, we had customers [with] north of 100 employees ripping out NetSuite and putting in Campfire,” founder CEO John Glasgow said.

This was, in part, because Glasgow attended YC in the summer of 2023, despite being decidedly…
CNN — Norway’s national lottery has apologized after thousands of players were mistakenly told that they had won large sums in the Eurojackpot draw due to a coding error. Norsk Tipping receives the prize amounts from Germany in euros, then coverts them to Norwegian kroner. However, it was during the conversion that an error occurred and winnings were multiplied by 100, rather than divided by 100, the company said in a statement Friday. Norsk Tipping sent messages and push notifications to customers that showed the wrong, inflated winnings, before later issuing a correction. “Norsk Tipping sincerely apologizes to everyone who…
