Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:24:08 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO— La Administración Nacional de Seguridad del Tráfico en las Carreteras está investigando el retiro del mercado de más de un cuarto de millón de SUV Explorer de Ford Motor Co. en los Estados Unidos después de recibir quejas sobre reparaciones destinadas a evitar que los vehículos se desplacen inesperadamente incluso estando estacionados.El problema, atribuido a fracturas de un perno de montaje del eje trasero que podría hacer que el eje de transmisión se desconectara, fue abordado por una actualización de software de Ford diseñada para aplicar el freno de estacionamiento electrónico si falla el eje de transmisión, dijo la agencia. Pero según dos quejas de propietarios de vehículos, sus SUV se comportaron de forma errática después de la reparación.En uno de esos casos, según los informes, el Explorer se detendría por completo a velocidades de hasta 30 o 40 millas por hora. En el otro, según los informes, se pondría en movimiento mientras el conductor intentaba desactivar...

Y artistas como Drake parecen enfadados ante la situación.La amemos o la odiemos, todo el mundo presta atención a la inteligencia artificial en estos momentos. Casi de la noche a la mañana, una nueva generación de herramientas de IA se abrió camino en productos utilizados por miles de millones de personas, cambiando la forma en que trabajamos, compramos, creamos y nos comunicamos entre nosotros.Los defensores de la IA destacan el potencial de esta tecnología para aumentar nuestra productividad, al crear una nueva era de mejores empleos, mejor educación y mejores tratamientos para las enfermedades. Los escépticos de la IA expresan su preocupación por el potencial de la tecnología para trastornar puestos de trabajo, engañar a la gente y, tal vez, provocar el fin de la humanidad tal y como la conocemos. Algunos ejecutivos de Silicon Valley parecen tener ambas opin...

DENVER – A mother and her newborn are healthy thanks to the quick thinking of an EMT on her way to class.  Alaska native Bayli Jenski has been an EMT for four years and is now in Denver attending paramedic school. Jenski said she was riding her bike to class Tuesday morning when she heard a cry for help. “There was this older guy with a safety vest on standing there and he looked completely lost,” Jenski said. “Next to him on the sidewalk was this woman in the process of giving birth.”  Photos: Pride parade turns Colfax Avenue into a rainbow road Jenski said she instructed the man to call 911 while she took action. “I throw my bike down, throw my backpack down and I’m at this woman’s legs,” Jenski said. “I grab this sweater and the baby comes out immediately." Jenski said the baby wasn’t breathing at first. “The first thing you do is dry and stimulate to get them to take that first breath and start crying,” Jenski said. “We train on that very frequently an...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:24:08 GMT

BOULDER, Colo. (KDVR) -- Boulder Parks and Recreation has warned about toxic algae on area lakes and ponds.Algae blooms can rapidly appear due to high temperatures and excessive moisture after storms.“It is definitely gross,” said Brooke Anderson who visits area parks with her family.The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment says algae blooms appear in stagnant or slow-moving water.“I bought my daughter a fishing pole for her birthday and I don’t think we feel comfortable fishing in this area,” said Chris Anderson. Why are restaurants sneaking in service charges? They say they have no choice While most blooms aren’t toxic, others contain cyanobacteria, which poses a health risk to humans and animals.Toxic blooms resemble thick pea soup or splotches of bluish-green paint. You should also avoid any foam that appears along the shoreline.Fishing may be allowed in some areas, but adequately cleaning your catch is required.“I think the county is good about notifying peop...

Harrison Ford fights Nazis, age in ‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny’

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:24:08 GMT

With a fifth and presumably final time as the world’s most famous archeologist in Friday’s “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” Harrison Ford proves he can “go home” again.The character of Indiana Jones was created by Steven Spielberg and George Lucas as the hero of a series of outlandish, somewhat comical adventures inspired by the 1930s Flash Gordon Saturday afternoon movie serials.The series began over 40 years ago with 1981’s “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” the template for the future franchise, giving Indy his fedora, whip and Nazi villains. Tom Selleck was their first choice but when he couldn’t be released from his “Magnum P.I.” TV series, the role went to Ford who had shot to stardom as Han Solo in Lucas’ “Star War.”“Raiders” charts a 1936 quest for a mythological ancient artifact, the Biblical Ark of the Covenant, which supposedly is able to make the army that possesses it invincible. That’s Germany’s nasty Nazis, who in “Destiny” are back in a big, big way.It’s 1945 Germany...

Graham: You can’t miss liberal tilt of ‘fact checkers’

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:24:08 GMT

Conservatives on Twitter are mocking CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale again, especially since his Twitter bio explains his work as “fact-checking the president.” Fox News reported on June 16 that Dale hasn’t published a fact-check of President Joe Biden since March 30, and that was only online, not on TV. “Since that time, though, his database shows 21 bylined stories or on-air appearances that fact-checked claims made by Republicans, most of them by Trump.”One of the reasons you can laugh at the phrase “independent fact-checkers” is the obvious tilt in targeting. CNN may not be paid by the Democrats, but the target list makes it look like they are. CNN’s obsession over Trump always prompts the question, “Who is the president now?” Because CNN acts like Trump never lost. Biden simply isn’t someone powerful enough to evaluate.Biden can repeatedly suggest the Republicans are pushing “Jim Crow 2.0” — as if they w...
