A 21-year-old student from Guwahati who had called her family from a train to say she felt unsafe among drunken men in her coach was found dead beside the railway tracks in Andhra Pradesh’s Srikakulam district on Wednesday (October 7, 2026).

Ben Affleck reveals he writes Python, understands convolutional neural networks, worked extensively with GPUs, and used his celebrity status to get private looks at Google and OpenAI’s video models
“I’ve always been kind of into computers since I was young. Then, when film started to move from analog film to digital, I became more interested in that aspect of it. The visual-effects workflow for many years has included machine learning, so I can write pretty shitty Python scripts and stuff like that.
“With convolutional neural networks, which were the precursors to what the transformer can do, which is much more computation simultaneously, you would do things like look at what’s called a tensor. That’s the numerical translation of a visual image in numbers, like the batch number, the frame number and the red, green and blue values of each pixel in each frame. It’s just that simple. That numeric is called a tensor.
“You’d use a convolutional neural network to identify patterns that reveal what’s called edge detection or feature extraction, which is identifying patterns well enough to know, this is where the window ledge is, so we can more easily take the green-screen image out and replace it with something.
“That was familiar to me early on because, prior to Artists Equity, I had a small visual-effects company. I’ve worked with GPUs a lot too. The visual-effects guys said, ‘Hey, you should see. There are a couple: Google and this other company, OpenAI, are doing really interesting stuff with transformers in video.’
“I’ve learned that I can actually just call up and go, ‘Hey, it’s Ben Affleck. Can I come see what you’re doing?’ Sometimes people say yes, to my astonishment.”
For more than two months, I have been working on a truly horrific story about one of the gravest war crimes committed by the United States since Vietnam: The bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, Iran. It was one of the first targets struck in the opening hours of the war on February 28, 2026.
At least 156 people were killed in the U.S. cruise missile strikes—120 of them were children and 26 were teachers. We spoke to survivors, first responders, parents, doctors, teachers, psychologists, and other witnesses. Some of them had never before shared their experiences of that day.
It would be impossible to do justice to what happened in Minab that day with words alone. In more than 25 years in journalism and reporting on war, I do not believe I have reported on a more heinous single crime.

Please share this story with as many people as you can.
This man is a hero.
Captain Smit Machchhar, the Indian captain of flydubai Flight 1073, fought back after being stabbed in the cockpit.
Despite being severely injured, he managed to unlock the cockpit door - allowing Israeli passengers and the Emirati crew to intervene and save all the passengers.
Together, their extraordinary courage saved 174 lives.
Indian. Israeli. Emirati.
Different nationalities. One extraordinary act of courage. 🇮🇳🇮🇱🇦🇪
We wish Captain Machchhar a full and speedy recovery.
Had this man not found the courage to fight back after being repeatedly attacked with an axe capable of cutting through metal—while bleeding profusely—and had the presence mind to trigger the hijack/emergency code, initiate the emergency response and open the cockpit door to allow passengers to assist him, the aircraft’s subsequent dive could have had catastrophic consequences.
Had that aircraft not been recovered, the geopolitical consequences for the Middle East could have been profound and potentially irreversible.
Sometimes history turns on the courage, resilience and presence of mind of one person.
Yes. One Indian man.
Another bombshell from THE INDIAN EXPRESS on the Modi govt's social media crackdown.🚨
Between March and July 2026 nearly 1.95 lakh blocking orders were sent to Instagram, Facebook and YouTube — around 1275 per day.
This Government is so afraid of criticism that it keeps trying to silence the internet.
#WATCH | Delhi: On video showing Delhi Minister Parvesh Verma slapping a local youth during a road inspection row in Tilak Nagar, AAP MLA Jarnail Singh says, "Look at how BJP Minister Parvesh Verma flew into a rage when caught red-handed; he slapped the person recording the incident—acting just like a goon. The way he fled the scene like a thief has all been captured on camera... I thought he would inspect the road, check the quality, and perhaps take action against the PWD officials. He asked me to point out where the road was breaking down. When I showed him how the entire road surface was peeling off like a carpet, instead of taking action, he slapped the person who was recording the incident and fled the scene. We have called the emergency number—112—to report this. Shockingly, the SHO of Vikaspuri Police Station was present when this incident occurred, yet he did not apprehend the Minister; in fact, he helped him escape. We will not leave this spot until Minister Parvesh Verma is arrested and an FIR is registered against him. As for our next step—we demand that the Delhi Police Commissioner break free from external pressure and take the same legal action against Minister Parvesh Verma that would be taken against any other criminal..."
