    Pahalgam massacre: ‘Homegrown’ ultras may be involved, says P Chidambaram, sparks row | India News

    NEW DELHI: A major political row erupted over Congress leader P Chidambaram’s remarks that those behind the Pahalgam massacre could be “homegrown terrorists”and that it was wrong to assume that they were from Pakistan.Senior BJP leaders hit out at the former home minister over his statements in a video interview, which was endorsed by a few others in Congress, with Union agriculture minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan accusing Congress and Chidambaram of “speaking the same language” as used by Pakistan. Chidambaram, however, said his remarks had been taken out of context. “Why is P Chidambaram saying this?” Chouhan asked. “The language in which Pakistan is speaking, the same language is being used by Chidambaram and Congress…The mask has been removed from the opposition’s face,” he said, wondering if the Congress leader was asking for proof about Pakistan’s hand in the Pahalgam terror attack in J&K.In the interview, Chidambaram had said, “…for all we know they could be homegrown terrorists, why do we assume they came from Pakistan.”He later said this bit was part of larger statement which his accusers have suppressed. “Trolls are of different kinds and use different tools to spread misinformation. The worst kind is a troll who suppresses the full recorded interview, takes two sentences, mutes some words, and paints the speaker in a black colour!” he said on X. BJP leader Anurag Thakur accused Congress of casting doubts on the achievements of the Indian armed forces during Operation Sindoor. “When it comes to terrorist attacks, Pakistan is unable to defend itself, but Rahul-occupied Congress leaders are quick to take its side,” he said.He said this was not the first time that Congress leaders have demanded evidence from the armed forces while attempting to “absolve Pakistan in advance”. “The country will not give dossiers anymore, it will give doses. We will not give proof, we will give coffins to terrorists,” the Hamirpur MP said.BJP MP Sambit Patra said Chidambaram has made evident that the opposition is not standing with Operation Sindoor and the bravery of the Indian Army. “Chidambaram is giving a clean chit to Pakistan. It is not he who is speaking; it is the voice of the Gandhi family and the Congress, Chidambaram is only articulating it,” Patra said.

  • AI Shifting from Cloud to PCs — THE Journal

    AI Shifting from Cloud to PCs — THE Journal

    Survey: AI Shifting from Cloud to PCs

    A recent Intel-commissioned report reveals a significant shift in AI adoption, moving away from the cloud and closer to the user. Businesses are increasingly turning to the specialized hardware of AI PCs, the survey found, recognizing their potential not just for productivity gains, but for revolutionizing IT efficiency, fortifying data security, and delivering a compelling return on investment by bringing AI capabilities directly to the edge.

    All that and more is detailed in the AI PC Global Report from Intel, which surveyed 5,050 business and IT decision-makers across 23 countries, showing momentum for on-device AI acceleration.

    “Businesses are already well-versed in the productivity gains that AI delivers for tasks like search optimization or language translation. Consumed as a cloud service, this type of day-to-day AI use is driving adoption. But for businesses looking to extend IT efficiency, better protect sensitive data, and reduce long-term costs, AI PCs are fast becoming the go-to option,” the report noted.
    “One of the most powerful advantages of AI PCs is the ability to run AI workloads locally, offline and privately, without sending sensitive data to the cloud.”

    Some data points to back that up include:

    • Security benefits of local AI: AI PCs come with built-in hardware security features that help detect threats early, protect applications and data, and defend the system even before the operating system starts. This provides full-stack protection and is especially valuable for regulated industries like healthcare, finance, and legal services, where data privacy and compliance are paramount.
    • 49% of non-adopters cite data exposure as their top security concern: This concern was flagged by nearly half of respondents who haven’t yet adopted AI PCs. Intel counters this by emphasizing that one of the most powerful advantages of AI PCs is the ability to run AI workloads locally, offline and privately, without sending sensitive data to the cloud. By keeping data on the device, organizations can reduce exposure risks while still benefiting from real-time AI capabilities.
      Data Exposure

    • Only 23% of adopters report security as a challenge, and 33% report no challenges at all: While a third of non-adopters cite security as their biggest AI PC concern, only 23% of those already using the technology highlight security as a challenge. An equal number (33%) of adopters have not experienced any challenges, including security issues, when using AI PCs. This suggests that concerns about replacing cloud AI with endpoint AI may be overstated in practice.
    • AI workloads are already being run locally for core tasks: The report highlights that Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) are optimizing their applications for AI PCs, integrating AI features like real-time transcription, intelligent editing, and enhanced collaboration tools that take advantage of on-device AI acceleration. Common use cases for AI currently include optimized search (73%), real-time translation (72%), and predictive text input (71%).
    • Strong ROI demonstrated for AI PCs: AI PCs built on the Intel vPro platform and powered by Intel Core Ultra processors can deliver up to 213% ROI over three years, with a payback period of less than six months.
      The ROI

    • Willingness to invest in AI PCs: IT leaders are willing to spend up to 29% more for AI PCs compared to traditional PCs, and business leaders are willing to spend up to 25% more.
    • Training crucial for effective AI PC use: 95% of respondents believe employees will need training to effectively use AI PCs.
      More Training
      [Click on image for larger view.] More Training (source: Intel).
    • Existing gap in AI PC training provision: Only 42% of organizations provide ongoing AI training, with 33% relying on one-off sessions, and 35% of organizations reporting no training provided at all.
    • On-device AI supports data sovereignty and compliance: The ability to run AI workloads locally and privately is “especially critical for regulated industries like healthcare, finance, and legal services, where data privacy and compliance are paramount.” This local processing helps organizations adhere to regulations that might restrict cloud-based data handling.
    • 65% less time spent on device management and 90% fewer on-site IT visits: Organizations leveraging AI PCs built on the Intel vPro platform can expect to spend 65% less time on device management. Furthermore, IT staff can drastically reduce the amount of time spent physically visiting sites for maintenance interventions, potentially reducing hardware-related on-site visits by as much as 90%. This suggests a more autonomous, self-sustaining endpoint experience, further minimizing reliance on centralized services.
    • Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) are building apps that assume local AI capability: The report states that “Another key factor in readying for the future is the growing ecosystem of Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) that are optimizing their applications for Al PCs.” Leading ISVs are already integrating AI features like real-time transcription, intelligent editing, and enhanced collaboration tools that leverage on-device AI acceleration.
    • Performance improvements of up to 100% for local workloads: AI PCs can deliver “Up to 100% performance gains running workloads on the latest Intel vPro platform when compared with the Intel Core 1000 series processors.” These workloads include data visualization and insights, content creation, local AI assistance, and digital marketing. This reflects a shift in architecture that favors endpoint execution over cloud round-tripping.

  • Largest LED Virtual Production Volume Debuts in China

    Largest LED Virtual Production Volume Debuts in China

    On July 14, the world’s largest LED virtual production (VP) volume was officially unveiled in Deqing, establishing a new benchmark in immersive entertainment technology. Developed through a strategic collaboration between virtual production specialists Versatile Media and global LED manufacturer Absen, the LED virtual stage features a 270-degree curved LED wall spanning 50 meters in diameter and 12 meters in height, with a total floor area of 5,000 square meters. 

    The LED display alone covers over 1,700 square meters, equivalent to the size of four basketball courts, making it the largest single-screen pixel volume ever built. This enormous VP volume is now the largest of its kind worldwide, marking a significant shift in how films, commercials, and digital content are created.

    The project, dubbed “Absen x Versatile,” is more than just an impressive technical feat. It demonstrates the growing demand for LED volume stages in global production hubs, marking China’s increasingly prominent role in shaping the future of media creation.

    The LED volume integrates next-generation LED technology to support high-end virtual production. Key technical highlights include: HDR rendering for dynamic, lifelike visuals, accurate color reproduction to match real-world tones, high frame and refresh rates for smooth motion capture, moire and aliasing suppression, even in close-up shots, and fine pixel pitch and high resolution for clean, lifelike image quality on camera. These innovations deliver cinema-grade image fidelity while optimizing for seamless interaction between camera tracking, lensing, and lighting.

    The wraparound LED structure is complemented by an overhead ceiling composed of Absen’s MR series panels, enabling dynamic lighting that mimics natural reflections and responds in real-time to camera movements. Together, the wall and ceiling create a complete, immersive shooting environment that drastically reduces the need for green screens, post-production effects, and location logistics.

    A Brief History of LED Volumes

    Virtual production using LED volumes exploded into the mainstream following the success of Disney’s The Mandalorian, where filmmakers used a 20-foot-tall LED wall to render live digital environments. Unlike green screens, LED volumes allow actors and directors to see the environment during filming, improving lighting, actor performance, and overall workflow.

    Early adopters quickly recognized the potential: immersive environments without travel, real-time control over lighting and time-of-day settings, and an all-digital backlot scalable to any scene imaginable. Scene changes can be completed within minutes, and when paired with immersive 8K LED walls and realistic lighting, the shooting experience becomes immersive and authentic. Studios across North America, Europe, and Asia began building their own volumes. However, the Nanjing facility takes things to an entirely new scale, pushing the boundaries of engineering and storytelling.

    Why This Matters

    From a production standpoint, larger volumes enable more complex scenes, more believable parallax movement (as the camera shifts perspective), and greater flexibility in shooting multiple scenes from different “locations” in a single day. For example, one scene can be set in the Tunisian Desert, and only minutes later, the setting shifts to the Brazilian rainforest, and then to the Himalayas – all without the travel and location expenses or the required permits, which can get hung up in bureaucracy for months.

    The 1.5mm pixel pitch is particularly notable. While tighter pitches are often associated with close-range viewing applications, such as control rooms or boardrooms, their use in this volume means sharper, crisper visuals, which is an essential detail for high-resolution film work.

    Virtual Production’s Future

    This launch underscores a broader trend: the shift from traditional location shooting to digital set creation. Whether for big-budget blockbusters, independent films, corporate commercials, or gaming cinematics, VP volumes provide an unprecedented level of control.

    The scale and scope of the Nanjing volume could also drive new interest in co-productions and remote filmmaking. Studios around the globe may now look to China not just as a market for content but as a hub for creating it—especially when virtual environments eliminate physical borders altogether. 

    Virtual production isn’t without its challenges. Costs are high, the learning curve for directors and crews remains steep, and not all creative visions translate easily into a digital volume environment. However, as tools become more intuitive, costs inevitably come down, and hardware becomes more scalable, experts believe these facilities will become as standard as traditional soundstages once were.

    The Takeaway

    The unveiling of the world’s largest LED virtual production volume isn’t just a technical achievement—it’s a glimpse into what the next decade of filmmaking might look like. With LED volumes becoming more advanced and accessible, content creation is entering a new era of flexibility, immersion, and visual storytelling.

    And as production teams across the globe take note of what’s now possible in China, one thing is clear: the future of film may be built pixel by pixel, inside four virtual walls.

  • Seventeen Will Bring ‘New_’ Tour to U.S. Amid Member Military Service

    Seventeen Will Bring ‘New_’ Tour to U.S. Amid Member Military Service

    Seventeen is bringing its “New_ World Tour” to the United States this fall. On Monday, the K-pop group announced its plan to tour the United States, even as four of its members complete their military service in Korea.

    The shows will see the group kick off the U.S, run at the Tacoma Dome in Washington on Oct. 11 before heading to Los Angeles, Austin, Miami, and D.C. Tickets will go on sale for fan members on Aug. 5 at 3 p.m. before a general on-sale time of Aug. 6 at 3 p.m. local time.

    The title of the tour “signals a bold new chapter” for the group, with the underscore in its title leaving “an open space to be reinvented,” according to a press release from the group.

    The messaging seems to align with what the 13-member group — S.Coups, Joshua, Jun, Jeonghan, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, Mingyu, The 8, DK, Seungkwan, Vernon, and Dino — told The Hollywood Reporter about their plans, as nine of the 13 members are required to enlist in the military to complete their mandatory service.

    “This is something that has been inevitable for us all along,” Hoshi said in the late May interview. “We have been prepared. We have a lot of projects that we have discussed with [Hybe] very thoroughly up until now.”

    “We are ready to reinvent ourselves,” S.Coups added. “We are standing at a new starting line, preparing for a new path ahead and ready to blaze a new trail.”

    Absent from this upcoming tour will be Jeonghan, who enlisted in the Korean military last September, Wonwoo, who enlisted in April 2025, and both Hoshi and Woozi, who are expected to enlist in September.

  • Study maps RNA shape-shifting mechanisms in human and bacterial cells

    Study maps RNA shape-shifting mechanisms in human and bacterial cells

    Apart from carrying the information to encode proteins in, RNA molecules can adopt intricate 2D and 3D structures. Specifically, the same RNA molecule can switch between ON and OFF structures, modulating the ability of ribosomes to bind to the RNA and translate it into proteins. A new study, led by University of Groningen molecular biologist Danny Incarnato and authored by postdoctoral researcher Dr Ivana Borovska, identifies hundreds of such regulatory RNA switches in E.coli bacteria and human cells. It was published in Nature Biotechnology on 25 July.

    Several years ago, Incarnato developed a method to map the alternative shapes adopted by RNA molecules in living cells. Using this method, he identified regions of RNA capable of shapeshifting between two different structures, each with its own effect. Incarnato: ‘The ability of RNA to switch between alternative structures usually implies some sort of regulation, similar to an ON-OFF switch.’

    Incarnato’s team has now used this method to study the complexity of RNA structures in living cells. Moreover, they developed a new tool that leverages evolutionary information to identify functional RNA structural switches with high accuracy. They used the tool to uncover hundreds of them. One example is a switch that reacts to temperature and helps bacteria to respond to cold stress. Incarnato: ‘Identifying a significant number of switches is a first step. The next step is to find ways to influence their functioning.’ For example, small molecules could be designed to modulate these switches, which could ultimately lead to new treatments for diseases.

    The current research, which has taken more than three years to complete, builds on some six years of fundamental research into the detection of 2D RNA shapes. Incarnato: ‘This is revolutionary, something the whole field has been seeking for years.’

  • Paleontologists Discover First Evidence of Multispecies Dinosaur Herding

    Paleontologists Discover First Evidence of Multispecies Dinosaur Herding

    Paleontologists say they have discovered the 76-million-year-old footprints of a ceratopsian dinosaur-dominated herd in Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta, Canada. The discovery provides the first evidence of mixed-species herding behavior in dinosaurs, similar to how modern wildebeest and zebra travel together on the African plains.

    A herd of ceratopsians (Styracosaurus albertensis) accompanied by an ankylosaur (Euplocephalus tutus) walk through an old river channel under the watchful eyes of two tyrannosaurs (Gorgosaurus libratus). Image credit: Julius Csotonyi.

    Dinosaur Provincial Park in southern Alberta, Canada, is unquestionably one of the premier localities worldwide for understanding Late Cretaceous terrestrial ecosystems.

    The Park has yielded hundreds of dinosaur skeletons and huge numbers of bones and teeth, making it a model system for understanding dinosaur evolution, behavior, biostratigraphy, and paleoecology.

    Despite the remarkable abundance of skeletal elements, dinosaur footprints and trackways are surprisingly rare.

    “In 2024, we discovered a new tracksite, the Skyline Tracksite comprising ‘typical’ natural mould tracks, which had heretofore not been identified in the Park,” said University of New England’s Dr. Phil Bell and colleagues.

    At the site, the paleontologists unearthed 13 ceratopsian (horned dinosaur) tracks from at least five animals walking side by side, with a probable ankylosaurid (armored dinosaur) walking in the midst of the others.

    They were also surprised to find the tracks of two large tyrannosaurs walking side-by-side and perpendicular to the herd, raising the prospect that the multispecies herding may have been a defence strategy against common apex predators. One footprint of a small meat-eating dinosaur was also discovered.

    “I’ve collected dinosaur bones in Dinosaur Provincial Park for nearly 20 years, but I’d never given footprints much thought,” Dr. Bell said.

    “This rim of rock had the look of mud that had been squelched out between your toes, and I was immediately intrigued.”

    “The tyrannosaur tracks give the sense that they were really eyeing up the herd, which is a pretty chilling thought, but we don’t know for certain whether they actually crossed paths.”

    “It was incredibly exciting to be walking in the footsteps of dinosaurs 76 million years after they laid them down,” said Dr. Brian Pickles from the University of Reading.

    “Using the new search images for these footprints, we have been able to discover several more tracksites within the varied terrain of the Park, which I am sure will tell us even more about how these fascinating creatures interacted with each other and behaved in their natural environment.”

    “This discovery shows just how much there is still to uncover in dinosaur paleontology,” said Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology’s Dr. Caleb Brown.

    “Dinosaur Park is one of the best understood dinosaur assemblages globally, with more than a century of intense collection and study, but it is only now that we are getting a sense for its full potential for dinosaur trackways.”

    The discovery is described in a paper in the journal PLoS ONE.

    Emma Raducanu finds her rhythm, bolts past Ruse at Canadian Open

    Team GB’s tennis star Emma Raducanu pushed past Romania’s Elena-Gabriela Ruse Monday (28 July) at the Canadian Open in Toronto, in a 6-2, 6-4 victory.

    With the win, Raducanu, 22 and a former U.S. Open champion, advances to the round of 64.

    In the opening set Monday, it took Raducanu a game or two to find her rhythm – forced to grind her way through two long games in her first two service games. She ultimately held her serve both times, taking the set to two-all.

    That’s where she took control, breaking Ruse for 3-2 and following it up with a more comfortable hold for 4-2. Raducanu completed a string of four straight games to close out the set 6-2.

    Both players settled into a rhythm in the second set after it looked like Raducanu might run away with it after an early break. Ruse broke back, however, and the set was on serve at four games apiece.

    Raducanu then closed out the match, breaking Ruse for a second time in the set for a 5-4 lead. She held serve a final time for the victory.

    Competition at the Canadian Open continues Tuesday (29 July).
