- OpenAI Says It Will Not Release Newest Astra A.I. Model Over Safety Concerns
The company's researchers raised questions about the security of the model, known as GPT-6.1 Astra. [TheTopNews] Read More.1 day ago - Trump Aims to Open Nearly All National Forest Trails to Dirt Bikes and ATVs
This story, originally published by Grist in collaboration with Montana Free Press/Mountain Journal as part of the Report for America Local News Initiative, is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. There are many ways to enjoy the outdoors, but thrill-seekers visiting the nation’s national forests often turn to motorized recreation. They might ride ATVs along dirt trails, snowmobile down winding tracks, or go off-roading in 4x4s. The United States Forest Service’s approach to all such forms of recreation on trails can be summed up in four words: closed unless designated open. Unless a trail is explicitly designated as open to off-highway vehicles, such as side-by-sides and dirt bikes, it can only be used for nonmotorized recreation. Most national forests have travel management plans that outline when a trail is open for nonmotorized use like mountain biking, horseback riding, or hiking, and when it’s open to off-highway vehicles. These plans tend to be exhaustive and list which types of motorized or nonmotorized access are allowed on every trail, two-track, and road. The strict guidelines are a result of a Forest Service policy called the travel management rule. But the Trump administration wants to turn the current rule on its head. In late August, the Forest Service announced its plan to revise the rule so that trails are open unless designated closed. It would mean forest managers would be expected to prioritize motorized access on service roads, trails, and even backcountry airfields. The US Department of Agriculture, of which the Forest Service is a part, has said that the move will increase recreation access and “simplify regulatory requirements.” The change is being opposed by sportsmen, backcountry horsemen, conservation organizations, and nonmotorized recreation groups. They say opening up all Forest Service trails to motorized access could have devastating consequences for the ecosystems and wildlife that rely on these lands. Healthy, intact forest ecosystems are also critical for sequestering carbon in a warming world. “I’m totally OK with appropriate machine use in the forest. But there are just places where the ecosystem is too sensitive.” Hillary Eisen, the federal policy director for Wild Montana, a public lands advocacy organization, said everyone who uses forest lands, from recreationists and ranchers with grazing leases to those in the timber industry, relies on the clarity provided by travel management plans. The Forest Service’s formal announcement to revise the rule is “vague,” “somewhat poorly written,” and “difficult to follow,” Eisen said.… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 day ago - Redmond: Radio Continues to Deliver Strong Value
Rich Redmond This is one in a series about global radio trends. Broadcast Electronics recently was acquired by a new ownership group led by The Alzana Group. Rich Redmond is president, CEO and a member of the ownership. He has 30 years of global expertise running technology product and systems businesses, including as president of GatesAir. He is founder of Strativa Advisors. Radio World: Rich, in this age of proliferating alternatives, is broadcast going to remain relevant in the long term across global markets? Rich Redmond: Radio continues to offer a strong value proposition to listeners, being local, mobile and free. Receivers are ubiquitous, with no data plans and no subscriptions. Stations offer local content and in many cases play a key part in the community. Globally there are many places where radio is the only form of mass communication — not TV, not streaming. Today there are certainly more methods of delivering audio than in the past. But radio is one of the most used, and many of the most popular streams and podcasts originate as radio station content. RW: What would you consider the most important macro changes in transmission and technology platforms? Redmond: In transmission, the focus on energy cost, efficiency and total cost of ownership clearly is growing. Energy costs are rising globally and are projected to continue. This affects everything from operating costs to logistics and maintenance costs. Coupled with the fact that more technology-minded people are working in IT-based segments versus RF and hardware segments, this puts pressure on the number of skilled engineers who can provide maintenance. “Global Radio Update” ebook These changes create demand for solutions that are smaller, energy-efficient and simpler to maintain, helping positively impact the bottom line for radio stations. RW: You recently introduced a new AM transmitter. What drove this, and is there indeed a future for AM? Redmond: We saw an opportunity to provide the first new AM transmitters in 20 years. The technology has evolved to really deliver significant reductions in costs for broadcasters. Our unique SiCore technology, built around silicon carbide devices, delivers super-efficient amplifiers — greater than 98% efficient — that provide significant reduction in operating costs. The ultra-compact footprint — 5 kW in five rack spaces — not only makes delivery less costly, but is ideal in addressing the market trend of combined AM transmitter sites. As land values increase, there’s more pressure and opportunities for… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 day ago - AAR reports first quarter fiscal year 2027 results
