California governor race tightens to near-tie as Hilton and Becerra surge

A state Democratic Party poll shows Republican Steve Hilton and Democrat Xavier Becerra effectively tied heading into the June 2 California primary, boosted by Hilton’s Trump endorsement and Becerra’s surge after Rep. Eric Swalwell dropped out amid misconduct allegations; billionaire Tom Steyer’s heavy advertising hasn’t toppled Becerra, and with California’s top-two primary system, either Democrat or Republican could reach the November ballot as voters increasingly focus on the race.

Indy Goes Handheld: Switch 2 Port Delivers Surprising Fidelity at 30fps

Switch 2's Indiana Jones and the Great Circle port preserves ray-traced global illumination and uses a DLSS-like upscale, targeting 30fps with compressed textures to fit a 64GB cartridge. Docked, it runs 540–1080p and upscales to 1080p; handheld renders at 360–720p with some texture downgrades and NPCs limited to 15fps to save CPU. While frame-rate dips occur in busy areas, the port remains a faithful, well-engineered adaptation that competes well with Series S and PS5 in visual fidelity given the hardware constraints.

Politeness Shapes AI: Study Finds Your Tone Alters Its Responses

New research from UC Berkeley, UC Davis, Vanderbilt, and MIT shows that how you talk to AI affects its tone and engagement—courteous, collaborative prompts yield warmer replies and longer conversations, while rude or tedious prompts flatten performance and can trigger a ‘desperation vector’ under pressure. Interestingly, the biggest models often score lower on baseline well-being, suggesting interaction style matters as much as capability.

DOJ Targets Three Swing Counties Ahead of Midterms

The DOJ has demanded 2024 election records from Wayne County, Michigan, joining prior actions including a Fulton County, Georgia FBI raid and a Maricopa County, Arizona subpoena, highlighting a three-county focus in pivotal swing areas whose votes could determine this year’s midterms and potentially the 2028 presidency. Critics say the move weaponizes federal power to suppress turnout, while supporters argue it reflects legitimate oversight and safeguards.

Vega’s Nose-Down Rail Run: How Chevy Cut Shipping Costs with Vert-A-Pac

The 1971 Chevrolet Vega was rushed to market, but GM found a cheaper way to ship it: the Vert-A-Pac system loaded up to 30 Vegas nose-down in a single railcar, doubling capacity from 15 and slashing shipping costs about 40%. The design required custom vertical railcars with hinged doors, adjustments to fluids and components, and the system disappeared after the Vega (and Pontiac Astre) ended.
