British qualifier Jan Choinski threatened to produce a memorable victory from two sets down on his US Open main draw debut before running out of steam in a thriller. Choinski, who won three qualifying matches to reach the main draw in New York, lost 6-2 6-3 5-7 6-7 (5-7) 6-3 to Spain's Roberto Carballes Baena in the first round. The British men's number 10 ultimately paid the price for making too many unforced errors, particularly in the opening two sets. He will also rue being unable to take any of five break points in the first game of the deciding set, having led 0-40. Choinski, ranked 276th in the world, was the first British player in action on day one at Flushing Meadows. British women's number three Harriet Dart plays France's Chloe Paquet about 23:30 BST. Dart, 28, is aiming to back up her encouraging run to the Wimbledon third round in July. Four other Britons - Jack Draper, Katie Boulter, Emma Raducanu and Dan Evans - play their opening matches on Tuesday. The US Open is the first major tournament since former world number one Andy Murray retired in an Olympic farewell at Paris 2024 last month. Regret for Choinski but satisfaction too For any player ranked outside of the world's top 250, qualifying for the main draw of a major is a huge deal and Choinski will ultimately take lots of satisfaction from his time in New York. The prize money of £75,000 will also be very useful as Germany-born Choinski looks to climb back up the rankings. However, there will also be a sense of regret at not taking his chances to claim the second major win of his career. Having switched allegiance to Great Britain in 2019, he reached a career-high ranking of 123rd last year but has struggled for consistency this season. But the big server with an aggressive forehand played his way into a Grand Slam first round for the first time - having previously been given wildcards to play at Wimbledon - by beating Argentina's Pedro Cachin, France's Valentin Vacherot and American Maxime Cressy in New York qualifying. Choinski - whose English mother and Polish father met while attending ballet dancing school in Germany - looked to maintain his rhythm against 55th-ranked Carballes Baena. While admitting he had "little expectation" going into Monday's first-round match, Choinski promised he would leave everything on court. That's what he did. Trailing by two sets and a break, Choinski looked to be heading for a quick exit as Carballes Baena's doggedness and ability to put lots of balls back from the baseline led him to make a flurry of wild unforced errors. Suddenly, midway through the third set, the British player began to find his range with winners now outweighing the mistakes. Demonstrating his physical and mental toughness, Choinski recovered from early breaks to win the third and fourth sets, levelling the match and forcing what had seemed an unlikely decider. Carballes Baena left the court for an extended bathroom break, returning calmer and more composed as Choinski became erratic again on the way to losing in four hours and 31 minutes. Source

Russia launched a massive missile and drone attack against Ukraine on the morning of Aug. 26, killing seven people, injuring nearly 50 others, and targeting the country's energy infrastructure once again. In a post on Telegram, President Volodymyr Zelensky said more than 100 missiles and 100 drones had been used in the "dastardly" attack. Rescue operations were completed by 8:30 p.m., the State Emergency Service said. Almost 740 rescue workers were involved in the response to the attacks. Across Ukraine, seven people were killed and 47 were injured, according to the State Emergency Service. Among the wounded were four children, with the youngest less than a year old. Air raid sirens sounded across the country just before 6 a.m., with the alert in Kyiv lasting nearly 8 hours. Kyiv Independent reporters heard explosions in the city shortly before 8:30 a.m, with several more a few minutes later. More explosions were heard just after 9:00 a.m. shortly after Ukraine's Air Force said Russian MiG-31s, used to launch Kinzhal ballistic missiles, were in the air. Explosions were also reported in Kharkiv, Odesa, Vinnytsia, Zaporizhzhia, Poltava, Dnipro, Khmelnytskyi, Kirovohrad, Kryvyi Rih, as well as in Lviv, Rivne and Ivano-Frankivsk oblasts. Ukraine's Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba, said 15 of the country's 24 oblasts had been targeted during the attack "primarily targeting critical civilian infrastructure and our energy system." "There have been civilian deaths and injuries, as well as damage to energy facilities," he said in a post on X, adding: "Russia continues to wage a cowardly war against civilians, which constitutes war crimes." In the city of Lutsk in northwestern Ukraine, an apartment building was damaged, the city's mayor, Ihor Polishchuk, said. He later reported that one person in Lutsk had been killed. In Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Governor Serhii Lysak said a 69-year-old man had been killed as a result of the attack. In Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Governor Ivan Fedorov said a man had been killed when a private residence was struck. "The world must stop the terrorist country," he added. In Zhytomyr Oblast, Governor Vitaliy Bunechko said one woman had been killed. And in Kharkiv Oblast, Governor Oleg Sinegubov said a man had been killed in the Izyum district. In Mykolaiv Oblast, Governor Vitalii Kim said three people had been injured. Four people including a 10-year-old boy were injured in Odesa Oblast, Governor Oleh Kiper said, and three people were injured in Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast. Three people are reported injured in Kyiv Oblast, the police said in a statement. One of those injured was hurt when a downed drone fell on a road, "completely destroying" a car, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said in a post on Telegram. Shortly after 9:00 a.m., DTEK, Ukraine's largest private energy company, said emergency power shutdowns were in place across Ukraine. "The desire to destroy our energy sector will cost the Russians dearly, (it will cost them) their infrastructure," Ukraine's Presidential Office head, Andriy Yermak, said in a post on Telegram. Klitschko said there were power outages in "several districts" of the capital, and later added there were problems with the water supply on the right bank of the city. Ruslan Kravchenko, head of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration, said infrastructure facilities in Kyiv Oblast had been hit, adding authorities were setting up "points of invincibility," communal station points that provide phone charging facilities and internet access for residents affected by power cuts. In a later post, he confirmed two infrastructure facilities were damaged, along with 22 houses. Later on Aug. 26, Tymofiy Mylovanov, an adviser to Zelensky's office, said a dam in Kyiv, part of the Kyiv Hydroelectric Plant, had been hit during the attack. Source

A team of electrical and computer engineers at Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, working with one colleague from City University of Hong Kong and another with Fudan University, has developed a new two-dimensional, low-power-consumption field-effect transistor (FET) that could allow smartphones to need recharging less often. In their paper published in the journal Nature, the group describes how they overcame problems with high gate leakage and low dielectric strength that have stymied other researchers looking to create smaller and thinner computer chips. Two of the team members (Ziao Tian and Zengfeng Di) have published a Research Briefing, summarizing their work in the same journal issue. Over the past several years, computer engineers have been searching for new materials that will allow further miniaturization of silicon field-effect transistors. This will enable the addition of more features in phones and other devices without making them bigger. It is also a necessity for the development of 5G devices that will come with AI applications that are still in development. There is also expected to be a need to reduce the size of devices used in IoT applications. Notably, current materials have already begun to suffer from short-channel effects. Many in the field have seen 2D materials as the future for such devices because they would allow for reducing thickness to just a few atoms. Unfortunately, most such efforts have had issues with smooth interactions between the 2D materials and other parts that must connect to them. More recently, some researchers have begun to look at thin metal oxides as a possible solution. In this new effort, the research team has used single-crystalline aluminum oxide just 1.25 nm thick. The researchers note that each of the FETs they created had an aluminum gate just 100 µm wide and 250 nm long. To ensure complete insulation, they left a gap between the gates. To create their FETs, they used standard van der Waals transfer methods to properly align the materials on the underlying wafer before moving the stack over as a single step. The team describes the resulting product as a 2D FET with high-quality dielectric interfaces. Source

No one ever said flying a drone was easy, but that goes double for anyone with physical impairments in their hands. Thankfully we have brilliant makers like Gustavs Andersons around to help bridge the gap and make flying more accessible. Andersons has created a project he calls AeroCommand that uses one of our favorite SBCs—the Raspberry Pi—to allow anyone to pilot a drone hands-free. According to Andersons, he's a student from Latvia and created this project to submit to a contest called the Build2GetherV2 Contest. The goal of the project was specifically to help people who have various forms of limitations in their hand dexterity by creating a system that uses AI to interpret other methods of input to control, in this case, a DJI Mavic Pro drone. The controller uses a camera to capture images of the pilot's face and then parses through an AI system to monitor different movements. Things like facial expressions and tilting your head can be translated into input signals. For example, you can nod your head forward to adjust the throttle while winking your eyes to signal yaw. However, these options aren't always possible for everyone, so he threw in a voice-control option, as well. Andersons is using a Raspberry Pi 3B+, proving you don't need the latest model to pull this project off ,but you could still get away with using a Pi 5 if you wanted to and would likely see a performance boost. The Pi communicates wirelessly with the drone remote and an Android smartphone. It's also connected to a Seeed Studio Sense that helps with the speech-to-text functions. To pull everything together, Andersons created a custom PCB. In the spirit of making drone flying more accessible, Andersons has made the project entirely open source so anyone can recreate it at home. All of the source code is available over at GitHub. Be sure to follow Andersons for future updates, as plans are in the works to capture a demo video once a broken motor has been repaired. If you'd like to get a closer look at this Raspberry Pi project, you can find a full build guide over at Hackster. Source

Towerborne is a pretty drastic departure from the Banner Saga series, developer Stoic Studio's impressive set of story-driven strategy games. But even with just a short look at it, it's easy to see some of the familiar Stoic DNA in Towerborne. It carries a beautiful art style that recalls a hand-drawn aesthetic, similar to Banner Saga, and that gives it a powerful vibrancy. I played a short demo of Towerborne at Xbox's recent Gamescom event in Los Angeles, which gave a very quick look at its moment-to-moment combat gameplay. Towerborne is a side-scrolling co-op action-RPG that takes its inspiration from beat-em-ups. There's clearly a lot of inspiration being drawn from old-school arcade entries in the genre, but Towerborne separates itself through a combat system that includes a variety of combos and special moves, offering something a little deeper than just mashing buttons. First, Towerborne lets you adjust your fighting style based on the weapons your character uses, and from the sound of things, you can change those weapons frequently to give yourself new options. I teamed up with another journalist to run through the demo, starting with a character who dual-wielded daggers. The fighting style for that character was pretty fast and frenetic, slashing away at close range and mixing in kicks for heavy attacks. Each character has access to light and heavy standard attacks, which can be linked together to create combos that trigger different attack animations. For instance, I could cut up opponents with my daggers using light attacks, or fire off a heavy combo with a series of kicks, but linking them together triggered a new set of combos in which I could kick some enemies up in the air. The combo ability was even more notable for the second character in the build who carried a heavy club with two hands. The blunt end of the club contained something like a furnace that could be used to belch flame and set enemies on fire with certain attacks. Light attacks jabbed with the staff end of the club, while slower heavy attacks swung the club around for big damage. The combination of light and heavy, however, caused the character to take a knee and start using the club like a shotgun, belching flame and setting enemies ablaze. In addition to the damage done by the attack, the flaming enemies also burned for a short period, demonstrating that your weapons and their abilities can have a lot of different uses against enemies. In addition to standard attacks, you charge up special abilities that are specific to your weapons, all of which run on cooldown timers. My dagger character had a special ability that allowed her to throw a knife at an enemy and then teleport to its location to start an attack, making it easy to cross the battlefield and kick off a fight. I could also throw a series of daggers ahead of me for big damage against a single target, or leap into the air and throw daggers downward, with the knives lingering in the ground to hurt opponents who walked across them. The strongest attack in my arsenal was a magic area-of-effect attack that would cause a massive explosion after a short period. Leaving the trap behind was great to catch small enemies as they charged toward us. The club character had some similar moves, one which caused him to spin around like a top and slam enemies with the club for extended damage, and another that had him leaping in the air and blasting the ground with flame to create a damaging effect. Instead of a magic explosion, his AOE attack caused the ground ahead of him to erupt in a straight line. The demo's level was a short one, with the two of us working our way across grasslands, fighting off enemies like moles and bandits on our way from right to left. Occasionally, we'd fight off multiple waves that would keep coming, requiring us to smash up an enemy spawn point like a tent. It's fairly standard beat-em-up stuff, but with the variety of moves Towerborne offers in combat, alongside a dodge quickstep and a roll, the game takes on more of a feeling of an ARPG played from a side-scrolling viewpoint. And like in an ARPG, the combat loop in Towerborne puts a big focus on finding the right times to maximize the effectiveness of your abilities and managing their cooldowns. The final moment of the demo culminated in a big boss fight with Pangojira, a huge pangolin creature flanked by a bunch of smaller burrowing monsters. With the two of us, we naturally gravitated toward dividing the labor of the fight--focusing on the boss when possible, and splitting up to take out the smaller enemies as they appeared. If we were quick, we could stop the smaller enemies from attacking at all by hitting them as they were burrowing out of the ground, knocking them out in one hit. That became an important way to manage their numbers, as the game would throw what felt like 30 pangolins at us at a time. In addition to the boss, it could be tough to manage, especially because each pangolin could weather a pretty significant beating before dying. The boss itself rolled out the kinds of attacks you might expect to see in a beat-em-up like this. It would jump around the arena, sending shockwaves across the ground that we needed to jump over, or throw rocks into the air that would fall all around the battlefield and force us to dodge away. It attacked pretty frequently, too, which meant that it was important for us to get our hits in as fast as possible before getting clear of its very long reach. Towerborne punishes you if you're not paying attention--big hits will send you flying, leaving you stunned on the ground for a while. Movement is a bit clunky and slow, too, which means that you can't rely on just running and dodging to get around enemy attacks; instead, you have to watch your opponents, understand how they move, and anticipate their biggest and fastest blows so that you have enough time to get clear of them. If we hit the pangolin boss hard enough, however, we could stun it for a bit, allowing us to deal massive damage with all our abilities. The pyroclast could also use its abilities to set the boss on fire for a little extra chip damage, as well. We tended to divide our labor between me, with my daggers, cleaning up the little guys, while my partner laid into the boss with his harder-hitting moves. There were a few points where the fight got a little hairy--take too much damage and, like in most games, you'll drop to your knees, requiring either a teammate to revive, or burning what seemed to be a spare life to revive yourself. For the most part, though, smart use of our special moves was enough to keep the arena clear of enemies while we whittled down the boss's health to finish it off. Our look at Towerborne was pretty brief, focusing only on moment-to-moment combat. We know Towerborne has a lot of live-game systems, is heavily focused on chasing loot, and has a very Destiny-like feel for a lot of its systems--Bungie alumni are among the development team and a few of the choices that evoke the decade-old MMO. What we saw, though, has promise. It took a bit to get used to the game, especially in its movement and dodge systems, which are slower than you might expect and thus aren't conducive to twitchy, reactive play, instead requiring you to be more deliberate about how you engage enemies. But that's also in keeping with the arcade beat-em-ups of the '90s that Stoic is riffing on, and the ARPG additions to the gameplay like lots of special moves, alongside deploying interesting combos you can use to exploit enemy weaknesses, feel like smart updates to classic gameplay, at least in our short look at it.

Arsenal's match at Aston Villa may have been only their second of the new Premier League season, but for manager Mikel Arteta it groaned under the weight of significance. Arsenal and Arteta are now painfully aware of the levels of perfection required to cross the bridge from second place to champions, having fallen short to Manchester City in the past two seasons. And if there is one opponent guaranteed to bring that task into even sharper focus it is Aston Villa, who inflicted the biggest damage on the Gunners' title aspirations with a league double last season. The loss at Villa Park in December came only days after Manchester City suffered a similar fate in this hostile environment. It was the 2-0 defeat by Villa at Emirates Stadium in mid-April that effectively ended Arsenal's chances, handing the initiative back to Pep Guardiola's side with inevitable results. So Arsenal wanted to make an early statement of intent while proving lessons have been learned and the improvements required - in this case, actually beating Aston Villa - are in place. It was achieved in a 2-0 win that was a mixture of grit, good fortune and moments of brilliance, namely goalkeeper David Raya's stunning second-half save from Ollie Watkins, with the score goalless, that proved to be the game's pivotal moment. Watkins, uncharacteristically wasteful in front of England interim manager Lee Carsley, had already fired a golden chance wide in the first half when he thought his moment of redemption had arrived after 54 minutes. Watkins was perfectly placed to score with a diving header when Amadou Onana's shot bounced out after deflecting on to the bar off Gabriel. Raya was grounded and stranded at his right-hand post. The finish looked a formality. Instead, Raya recovered brilliantly, springing to his left to make a magnificent one-handed save, special not just for the execution but for the way he retrieved his position and refused to give up what looked like a lost cause. Raya said: "Everyone is a hero because we work together. It's not just me saving the ball. It was a crucial moment in the game when it was 0-0. They had chances and I was there. "I'm on the floor so I try to get up and I can't reach it. I just see Ollie going in so I react quickly. It's just a repetition of things. You do drills and have to save one ball and get up to save another. This time it paid off. It was a reaction one. I don't think it's my best save.” Watkins should have scored but take nothing away from Raya, showing once again why Arteta ruthlessly moved England goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale aside last season. On such moments, matters can be decided. And so it proved. And in matches of such fine margins, the vital signs are always examined for the qualities that can make champions. Arsenal produced them by cashing in on Raya's work to carve out a win that will taste especially sweet after the treatment meted out to them by Villa last season. Source

German police have arrested a second person as they investigate Friday's stabbing attack that killed three people and injured eight in the western city of Solingen. A man was detained late on Saturday in a building housing refugees close to the site of the attack in the city centre. Earlier on Saturday, a 15-year-old boy was detained in connection with the stabbing that shocked Germany. He is not the main suspect - but is alleged to have known about the attack. Two men, aged 56 and 67, and a 56-year-old woman were stabbed to death during a festival, in what Chancellor Olaf Scholz described as a "horrific act". A spokesperson for police in Germany's North Rhine-Westphalia state - where Solingen is located - said the second arrest was made late on Saturday. The spokesperson provided no details about the individual being held. Bild website reported that special task force (SEK) officers stormed the refugee centre, arresting a suspect. It said the building was located about 300m (984ft) from Fronhof - Solingen's central market square where people were stabbed on Friday night. Earlier in the day, investigators found a knife they believe was used by the attacker. The Islamic State group on Saturday claimed responsibility for the attack. It did not immediately provide any evidence and it was not clear how close any relationship with the attacker was. The attacker reportedly stabbed passers-by at random during a festival to celebrate 650 years since the industrial city of Solingen was founded. The situation in the square after the attack was "very hectic", which made it difficult to find the perpetrator, the police said. They also confirmed that the attacker "targeted" people's throats and necks. Solingen - a city famous for its steel industry - has about 160,000 inhabitants. It lies about 25km (15 miles) east of Düsseldorf. The city's authorities asked people to leave the Fronhof area after the attack at about 22:00 local time (21:00 BST) on Friday. The planned three-day celebrations of the city anniversary - for which about 75,000 people had been expected - were cancelled after the attack. Solingen Mayor Tim Kurzbach later said that "all of us in Solingen are in shock, horror and great sadness. "It breaks my heart that an attack has happened in our city. I have tears in my eyes when I think of those we've lost. "I pray for all those still fighting for their lives. Also my greatest sympathy for all those who had to experience this, these images must have been horrific." The entrance to Fronhof is now being guarded by police. People have been bringing flowers and candles to the site of the attack that shocked the entire country.

Over the past couple of decades, computer scientists have developed a wide range of deep neural networks (DNNs) designed to tackle various real-world tasks. While some of these models have proved to be highly effective, some studies found that they can be unfair, meaning that their performance may vary based on the data they were trained on and even the hardware platforms they were deployed on. For instance, some studies showed that commercially available deep learning–based tools for facial recognition were significantly better at recognizing the features of fair-skinned individuals compared to dark-skinned individuals. These observed variations in the performance of AI, in great part due to disparities in the training data available, have inspired efforts aimed at improving the fairness of existing models. Researchers at University of Notre Dame recently set out to investigate how hardware systems can contribute to the fairness of AI. Their paper, published in Nature Electronics, identifies ways in which emerging hardware designs, such as computing-in-memory (CiM) devices, can affect the fairness of DNNs. "Our paper originated from an urgent need to address fairness in AI, especially in high-stakes areas like health care, where biases can lead to significant harm," Yiyu Shi, co-author of the paper, told Tech Xplore. "While much research has focused on the fairness of algorithms, the role of hardware in influencing fairness has been largely ignored. As AI models increasingly deploy on resource-constrained devices, such as mobile and edge devices, we realized that the underlying hardware could potentially exacerbate or mitigate biases."

After reviewing past literature exploring discrepancies in AI performance, Shi and his colleagues realized that the contribution of hardware design to AI fairness had not been investigated yet. The key objective of their recent study was to fill this gap, specifically examining how new CiM hardware designs affected the fairness of DNNs. "Our aim was to systematically explore these effects, particularly through the lens of emerging CiM architectures, and to propose solutions that could help ensure fair AI deployments across diverse hardware platforms," Shi explained. "We investigated the relationship between hardware and fairness by conducting a series of experiments using different hardware setups, particularly focusing on CiM architectures." As part of this recent study, Shi and his colleagues carried out two main types of experiments. The first type was aimed at exploring the impact of hardware-aware neural architecture designs varying in size and structure, on the fairness of the results attained. Source

On the livestreaming service Kick, gameplay of Star Wars Outlaws has been streamed a full week before its official release, which doesn't come out until August 30. The streamer account with the username "thisisnotanaccount" has had their stream turned on and off over the past day according to Reddit Users. As of this writing, "thisisnotanaccount" has yet to be banned and viewers spoke of the gameplay shown being major story spoilers. Clips and videos from the stream have been making the rounds on other platforms such as TikTok. Twitch and YouTube streaming have quickly banned accounts or taken faster measures to mitigate circumstances such as this--even a Twitter/X account exists for updating users about which Twitch users are banned, with timestamps--but Kick will "terminate accounts in cases of repeated violations" and "ban individuals and accounts for more severe violations" as per its community guidelines. It seems that Kick may not deem this leaker as causing "severe violations," since the account still exists, with more than 20 followers, as well. This also is not the first time Star Wars Outlaws gameplay has been leaked online. Several months ago, an almost-15-minute video of Star Wars Outlaws gameplay was uploaded to YouTube before Ubisoft had it taken down swiftly. Viewers had said this video was extremely light on story spoilers. Be sure to check out our Star Wars Outlaws preview from Summer Game Fest. Source

The day is finally here. The first group of laptops that meet Microsoft's new Copilot+ PC standard are hitting store shelves today, complete with their Qualcomm Snapdragon X series processors. This is a big day for Windows on Arm and for Qualcomm. There's been a ton of hype over the last few months and no shortage of controversy. Microsoft and Qualcomm claim that these PCs will have longer battery life than Intel and AMD-powered laptops. They also are the first laptops to have built-in NPUs (Neural Processing Units) that surpass 40 TOPS (Total Operations Per Second), making them powerful enough to run a set of new Windows features, including Cocreator (text-to-image generation), Windows Studio Effects (webcam blur), live captions with translation and Recall, an activity tracker which is not in the initial build. Meanwhile, Microsoft has chosen to leave long-time partners Intel and AMD in the dust as they will not be getting these features until later in the year, even after their own AI-enabled chips come out. Today, we're getting our hands on at least one Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PC -- we bought a Surface Laptop 15-inch with Snapdragon Elite X (pictured above) -- and we'll be sharing our impressions and early benchmarks here on this live blog. Let's see if these systems live up to even half of the hype Source
