Original title: Apple Slashes 2025 MLS Season Pass to as Low as $25 Apple has significantly discounted the MLS Season Pass for the remainder of the 2025 season, offering the annual subscription at $29, or $25 for Apple TV+ subscribers, down from the regular $99 price. The reduced rate covers the rest of the current MLS season and playoffs, including access to every match live and on demand, with separate English and Spanish commentary, with French available for Canadian matches.

The discounted annual subscription is only valid through the end of the 2025 season, after which it will automatically renew at the standard ...

Original title: Latam-GPT: The Free, Open Source, and Collaborative AI of Latin America The supercomputing infrastructure at the University of Tarapacá (UTA) in Arica, Chile, is a fundamental pillar for Latam-GPT. With a projected investment of $10 million, the new center has a cluster of 12 nodes, each equipped with eight state-of-the-art NVIDIA H200 GPUs. This capacity, unprecedented in Chile and the region more broadly, not only enables large-scale model training in the country for the first time, it also encourages decentralization and energy efficiency. The first version of Latam-GPT will be launched this year. The model will be refined and expanded as new strategic partners join the effort and more robust data sets are integrated into it. The interview was edited for length and clarity. WIRED: Tech giants such as Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic have invested billions in their models. What is the technical and strategic argument for the development of a separate model specifically for Latin America? Álvaro Soto: Regardless of how powerful these other models may be, the ...

Original title: Magnesium Supplements Crash Course: Benefits and Side Effects Suddenly, everyone is obsessed with magnesium supplements. It’s the key ingredient in #sleepygirlmocktails, powders stirred into tart cherry juice and prebiotic soda, a wellness cocktail for anxious millennials. Your coworkers are popping magnesium glycinate before bed instead of melatonin, because it allegedly cures insomnia, constipation, and existential dread. Folks seem especially concerned with optimizing their poop and pillow time. In the past year, Google searches for “which magnesium is best for sleep” and “which magnesium makes you poop” have more than doubled. Magnesium is essential for maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system. It’s also one of the most abundant minerals in the human body, running more than 300 biochemical reactions, from protein synthesis to nerve function and blood sugar regulation. It supports bone structure and helps shuttle calcium and potassium across cell membranes, a process that allows for muscle contractions and normal heart rhythms. You can get ...

Original title: Urban Arrow FamilyNext Pro Review: The Perfect Family Bike How time flies. I first reviewed the original Urban Arrow in 2020, when my kids were 3 and 5. Back then, nothing delighted a couple of preschoolers more than strapping into a big, motorized cargo bike and scooting around town, shrieking, with the wind blowing in their tiny faces. Alas, they are now 8 and 10. When I picked up my 8-year-old two days ago, he crouched down in the box while sitting on the padded seats (with seat belts!) so that none of his friends would see him. All this to say: My Tern GSD and I are great friends, but I wish my kids were five years younger so I could’ve bought the FamilyNext Pro instead. Urban Arrow’s new electric cargo bike has a lot of great upgrades, is easier to ride than ever, and is even more useful as my kids have gotten older. Bounce House To the naked eye, the two biggest upgrades to the FamilyNext Pro are a newly redesigned cargo box and suspension on the front fork. (It also comes in a very classy, new sage green, but unfortunately, my demo bike ...

Original title: Amanda Seyfried in Tears, Does Shaker Dance After ‘Testament of Ann Lee’ World Premiere at Venice Film Festival The Venice Film Festival hosted a world premiere on Monday afternoon for Mona Fastvold’s The Testament of Ann Lee, delivering something close to a religious experience. The audience responded to the film, which stars Amanda Seyfried as founder of the radical religious sect the Shakers, with raptrous applause, and a 15-minute standing ovation. Seyfried wipes back tears as the house light rose and joined director Fastvold in the film’s signature arm-pumping shaker dance as the ovation rained down. Fastvold’s partner, and co-screenwriter Brady Corbet worked the crowd and kept the ovation at a fever pitch. Fastvold looked to be in tears as well, turning around to hug her daughter with Corbet who beamed with pride. The Shakers were a cult-like group, which formed as an offshoot of Quakerism in Manchester, England in 1747. They got their name from worship practices that included trembling, dancing and speaking in tongues. Founder Lee espoused gender and social equality while believing hersel ...

The rally marks a break from last week’s broader Asian market decline after a tech selloff hit Wall Street. ...
