... Radio industry experts say the reason for the migration of AM programming to FM stations is purely financial.

"It comes down to economics," said Rich Hanley, journalism professor emeritus at Quinnipiac University. "Radio has morphed into a talk radio format rather than focusing on music or news."

As for simulcasting, that comes down to it being "more cost effective for radio station owners to spread one cost across two platforms," Hanley said.

While WFOX is losing their rock format, it will not result in the loss of any on-air talent or layoffs, Connoisseur Media officials said. The morning drive time show, Chaz and AJ, was a simulcast of sister station WPLR and the rest of the staff will take on other roles in the company's Connecticut cluster.

Valerie Geller, a radio consultant, said simulcasts are a recognition that "most of the radio audience has moved to FM radio." ...

... In late August, researchers Ian Carroll and Sam Curry disclosed the details of an SQL injection vulnerability that could allegedly allow threat actors to bypass certain airport security systems.

The security hole was discovered in FlyCASS, a third-party service for airlines participating in the Cockpit Access Security System (CASS) and Known Crewmember (KCM) programs.

KCM is a program that enables Transportation Security Administration (TSA) security officers to verify the identity and employment status of crewmembers, allowing pilots and flight attendants to bypass security screening. CASS allows airline gate agents to quickly determine whether a pilot is authorized for an aircraft's cockpit jumpseat, which is an extra seat in the cockpit that can be used by pilots who are commuting or traveling. FlyCASS is a web-based CASS and KCM application for smaller airlines.

Carroll and Curry discovered an SQL injection vulnerability in FlyCASS that gave them administrator access to the account of a participating airline.

According to the researchers, with this access, they were able to manage the list of pilots and flight attendants associated with the targeted airline. They added a new employee' to the database to verify their findings. ...

... Estimates of how many students use ChatGPT for essays vary, but it's commonplace enough to force teachers to adapt.

While generative AI has many limitations, student essays fall into the category of services that they're very good at: There are lots of examples of essays on the assigned topics in their training data, there's demand for an enormous volume of such essays, and the standards for prose quality and original research in student essays are not all that high.
This story was first featured in the Future Perfect newsletter.

Right now, cheating on essays via the use of AI tools is hard to catch. A number of tools advertise they can verify that text is AI-generated, but they're not very reliable. ...

But there is a technical solution here. Back in 2022, a team at OpenAI, led by quantum computing researcher Scott Aaronson, developed a "watermarking" solution that makes AI text virtually unmistakable -- even if the end user changes a few words here and there or rearranges text. The solution is a bit technically complicated, but bear with me, because it's also very interesting.

At its core, the way that AI text generation works is that the AI "guesses" a bunch of possible next tokens given what appears in a text so far. In order not to be overly predictable and produce the same repetitive output constantly, AI models don't just guess the most probable token -- instead, they include an element of randomization, favoring "more likely" completions but sometimes selecting a less likely one. ...

@#4 ... They knew they didn't have the money in their accounts.

But they did it anyway. ...

Yup.

For me, that is the main issue here.

Of course, that also makes me wonder why they thought they would be able to get away with it?

... But I do agree more time should be spent on money management in high schools. ...

Yeah, but I doubt it will happen.

... In the last year, St. Petersburg, Fla., Atlantic City, N.J., Charleston, S.C. and more than 30 other places tied or broke their records for the number of high-tide flood days. Galveston, Texas, which consistently sees some of the most severe and frequent high-tide flooding of any city in the U.S., experienced 23 days of high-tide flooding last year.

The costs of high-tide flooding are enormous. Even a few inches of water can make neighborhoods inaccessible to some residents, including those who use wheelchairs or rely on strollers to transport young children. And standing water can also snarl commutes, block emergency vehicles and cause secondary flooding if sewers back up into buildings or overflow into natural bodies of water. ...

@#2 ... What exactly does "not even really understanding what checks are" mean? ...

It means that they apparently did not understand the meaning of the checks they wrote/

Oops.

What propaganda?

And why cannot it be challenged?

... The image brought the Navy considerable ridicule on social media. The San Diego Union-Tribune reported that Cameron Yaste, commanding officer of the destroyer USS John McCain, was removed on Friday.

The Navy said Yaste was relieved of duty "due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command the guided-missile destroyer" that's currently deployed in the Gulf of Oman. The statement didn't elaborate about why Yaste was replaced.

In April, a photo posted on the Navy's social media showed Yaste in a firing stance gripping the rifle with a backward scope.

The military news outlet Stars and Stripes reported that the Marine Corps took a dig at the Navy, sharing a photo on its social media of a Marine firing a weapon aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Boxer. The caption read: "Clear Sight Picture." ...

... Driving the news: The whims of the TikTok algorithm alighted disastrously upon Chase last week, as videos went viral of people writing large checks to themselves, depositing the nonexistent money into their accounts, and then withdrawing enormous amounts of cash.

Between the lines: Checks, as a payments technology, are both awkward and archaic. ...
