Getty Images The contract talks between the Dallas Cowboys and All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons are currently in a stalemate. Parsons demanded a trade on Aug. 1 after feeling like Dallas isn’t taking his contract negotiations seriously. Since, neither side has directly spoken to each other, which is why there is still no movement on a long-term extension for arguably the NFL’s top edge rusher. That’s concerning because Parsons has held out of practicing at training camp in order to procure a new deal, and the Cowboys’ NFL season opener at the defending Super Bowl LIX champion Philadelphia Eagles on Sept.…

Archaeologists in Norway have uncovered human remains and structural artifacts indicating a 3,000-year-old ritualistic cult site near a highway expansion project. Surveyors initially discovered the first signs of ancient religious activity over a decade ago, but more recent excavation work is offering further looks at the spiritually significant communal location. The surrounding geological environment also points to why locals eventually abandoned it—a giant mudslide in central Norway’s Gauldal river valley around 800 CE. “It’s a very special find. We’ve never found anything quite like it. In…

Lisa Remillard, who posts daily news explainer videos on TikTok as “The News Girl.”Lisa Remillard Lisa Remillard spent more than 15 years behind the anchor desk, delivering the day’s headlines to viewers in markets from Tallahassee to San Diego. By 2018, she’d left television to co-found a streaming news startup — but her most surprising career turn came two years later, when she traded studio lights and cameras for the snappy, quick-hit rhythm of TikTok and soon found herself talking to the biggest audience of her life.

It’s hard to find programmers these days who aren’t using AI coding assistants in some capacity, especially to write the repetitive, mundane bits. But those who refused to try the tools when Coinbase bought enterprise licenses for GitHub Copilot and Cursor got promptly fired, CEO Brian Armstrong said this week on John Collison’s podcast “Cheeky Pint.” (Collison is the co-founder and president of the payments company Stripe.) After getting licenses to cover every engineer, some at the cryptocurrency exchange warned Armstrong that adoption would be slow, predicting it would take months to get even half the engineers using AI.  Armstrong…

More like Boo-Katan. Disney+’s The Mandalorian famously got pretty uneven as the series progressed (Grogu is being away to sent to train with Luke Skywalker. Wait-wait, no, he’s not). But one character in the Star Wars drama apparently took a real psychological toll on former Battlestar Galactica star Katee Sackhoff, who first appeared late in the show’s second season as the Mandalorian warrior named Bo-Katan Kryze and then was given a far larger role in season three. Sackhoff had actually been voicing the character for years on Star Wars animated series (such as The Clone Wars and Rebels). But she…

Solar panels in space could cut Europe’s terrestrial renewable energy needs by 80% by 2050, a study has found.Using a detailed computer model of the continent’s future power grid, the researchers found that a system of space-based panels designed by Nasa could reduce the cost of the whole European power system by as much as 15%. It could also cut battery use by more than two-thirds.The study, led by researchers at King’s College London, is the first to assess the possible impact of space solar energy on Europe. The space-based solar power (SBSP) panels that yielded the positive results uses…
