With the end of Daylight Saving Time, the loss of daylight really hits home; Chicago area is losing 2 minutes and 22 seconds of daylight each day

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:03:34 GMT

We've already noticed the days have been getting shorter, but with the end of Daylight Saving Time the loss of daylight really hits home.  Right now, the Chicago area is losing 2 minutes and 22 seconds of daylight each day.  The region will have lost more than 50 minutes of daylight over the next month.  By the time we reach the winter solstice, December 21, Chicago will have lost more than an hour of daylight. Our days will continue to shorten-- all the way until the Winter Solstice next month-- though today is the day you might notice it the most. The length of day yesterday was about 10 hours and 14 minutes-- today we'll have 10 hours and 12 minutes of daylight-- but we've moved an hour of that daylight back to the morning with the jump to standard time. Both sunrise and sunset are an hour earlier than yesterday. We'll stay on standard time until March 10th next year. While there's been small moves in Congress to stop doing the twice annual clock-changing rout...

The effect of AI on identity

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:03:34 GMT

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly evolved in recent years, fundamentally transforming various aspects of our lives. One of the profound and often overlooked consequences of this transformation is its impact on human identity. As AI becomes more integrated into our daily routines, work, and social interactions, it shapes and challenges our understanding of who we are. In this article, we will explore the multifaceted effect of AI on identity, discussing both the positive and negative aspects of this technological revolution, writes Colin Stevens.Redefining work and professional identityAI has disrupted traditional career paths and job roles. Automation and machine learning have led to the displacement of certain tasks, creating new opportunities and challenges. This shift has required individuals to adapt and often redefine their professional identities. Many jobs have evolved to incorporate AI, with employees now working alongside intelligent machines. This has led to a fusio...

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea said Monday it plans to launch its first domestically built spy satellite at the end of this month to better monitor rival North Korea as it expands its arsenal of nuclear weapons.The plan was unveiled days after North Korea failed to follow through on a vow to make a third attempt to launch its own reconnaissance satellite in October, likely because of technical issues.Jeon Ha Gyu, a spokesperson for the South Korean Defense Ministry, told reporters Monday that the country’s first military spy satellite will be launched from California’s Vandenberg Air Force Base on Nov. 30.The satellite will be carried by SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket.

Inconsistent Bills have already surpassed last season’s loss total

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:03:34 GMT

CINCINNATI (AP) — The Buffalo Bills entered their prime-time matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals holding an early playoff spot in the AFC. Another inconsistent offensive performance in a 24-18 loss Sunday night dropped the Bills (5-4) out of postseason position — and gave them more regular-season losses already than they had all last year. Still, Sean McDermott isn’t concerned about the confidence level of his team.“These guys are invested,” the Bills coach said. “It’s tough to win in the NFL. When you go up against a good football team, you have to do things right. We didn’t do enough things right tonight to win.” And it cost the Bills a chance to tie the Dolphins for first place in the AFC East after Miami lost to Kansas City earlier Sunday. It was a rematch of last season’s AFC divisional playoff round when the Bills, who went 13-3 in the regular season, lost 27-10 to the Bengals. This one got off to an encouraging for the Bills, who drove 85 yards in seven plays on their f...
