If You Don’t Like It, Leave: CZ's Message to Employees After SEC Leaks Chat Logs
Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has issued a warning to employees regarding their internal communications, according to reports, following a lawsuit from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Monday. The CEO clarified that he does not look at employee conversations and that it was his first time seeing those logs. “It's ridiculous for the SEC to use this as a poster, but we'll let the lawyers take care of it,” he added. The translated memo on Odaily also shows Zhao saying that employees "not satisfied working at Binance" should "seriously consider" their career options. On Thursday, CZ denied SEC claims that Binance had redirected billions of dollars in customer funds from Binance and Binance US to his own company, Merit Peak.

New model enhances wave forecasting in ice-covered waters
The study introduces a parameterization scheme that incorporates the role of sea ice thickness in understanding wave dynamics and their interactions with sea ice. The results demonstrated that the new model more effectively captures the directional attenuation and spreading of waves caused by sea ice. The sea ice augmented wave model will revolutionize wave forecasting and monitoring in ice-infested waters. By accounting for sea ice thickness, the model provides valuable insights into wave energy dissipation and ice break-up in the marginal ice zone. "The marginal ice zone is a dynamic environment with complex interactions between wind waves and sea ice," explained co-author Qinghua Yang.

Treat AI Like a Biological Weapon, Not a Nuclear One
Nuclear technology provides a cautionary tale. We were introduced to nuclear technology in the form of the atom and hydrogen bombs. Despite the overall risk assessment of nuclear energy remaining highly favorable, and the decades of effort to convince the world of its viability, the word ‘nuclear’ remains tainted. Due to a handful of early missteps with nuclear energy, we have been unable to capitalize on its clean, safe power, and carbon neutrality and energy stability remain a pipe dream. This is a moment for the global community to come together — much like we did fifty years ago at the Biological Weapons Convention — to ensure safe and responsible AI development.

There are 15 houseplants inside my Brooklyn apartment, as well as some additional planters on my balcony. Turns out, the wet soil inside these planters can be a fertile and convenient breeding ground for fungus gnats.

10 Not-So-Secret Classified Military Installations
But we digress…Jokes aside, lots of “secret” military installations and army bases like that actually aren’t so secret. “The purpose of this facility is to construct, operate, and test a variety of unmanned aerial vehicles,” government officials wrote of the small military site. It’s not an outright American military base like many on this list. It’s as if Mezhgorye is a completely secret town, just like neighboring Yamantau is a secret military installation. For years, HAARP was a jointly-run military base overseen by the Air Force, the Navy, the University of Alaska at Fairbanks, and the infamous Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA.
