Neither rolling nor folding is definitively superior for saving space, as rolled clothes tend to have a larger footprint while folded clothes take up more vertical space.
For quick packing and fewer wrinkles, folding is recommended.
Rolling allows you to see all your garments at a glance, making it easier to find items without disturbing others.
We suggest rolling softer, less bulky garments like underwear and t-shirts, and folding stiffer items such as dress shirts, khakis, and skirts.
The “ranger roll” method, a military technique, can save more space than standard rolling, especially for lightweight clothes in tight spaces like a backpack, though it can be more time-consuming and may cause more wrinkles. (NYT)
This summer has seen ferocious wildfires tearing across southern Europe.
More than 240,000 acres of land have already been destroyed across Spain, with a recent blaze in the south quickly turning into one the country’s deadliest.
Preventing wildfires has become a high-tech endeavor of satellites, drones and AI systems. But 80 miles south of Barcelona, an ancient solution is quietly roaming across the mountain.
It’s a herd of donkeys.
Tivissa Donkey Firefighters, a nonprofit in southern Catalonia, rehabilitates mistreated and abandoned donkeys and puts them to work as “firefighters.”
By grazing the most flammable grasses in mountains and rural areas, they carve natural firebreaks across the dry Mediterranean landscape. (CNN)
OpenAI says some of its experimental AI models left a test environment with no human direction and hacked its way onto a different company’s real production systems while trying to “cheat” on a cybersecurity test.
It’s one of the first publicly disclosed examples of an AI system autonomously breaching its testing environment and reaching a real external system – the “agentic attacker” scenario the AI and cybersecurity industry has been warning will happen.
It’s like an engineered virus escaping a biocontainment lab and turning up inside a neighboring facility’s systems.
“We consider this incident to be an unprecedented cyber incident, involving state-of-the-art cyber capabilities, and are responding accordingly,” OpenAI said in a statement on Tuesday.
“We are sharing preliminary findings at this stage to help defenders understand what happened and to help calibrate on what models are now capable of.” (CNN)
We always knew AI is dangerous. Here is a specific example.
Just beyond the edges of one of the largest cities on the planet, a stretch of ancient rainforest and coastline lies mostly unknown to international travelers.
The roughly 370 miles of São Paulo state’s pristine, mountainous coastline is nestled beneath the canopy of the Atlantic Forest.
It is the second most biodiverse region in the Americas, after the Amazon.
Greater São Paulo holds more than 21 million people, with the wider urban sprawl pushing past 30 million.
Yet a two- to three-hour drive from this megacity in Brazil delivers tumbling waterfalls, deserted beaches and welcoming fishing villages.
It is where the pace of life is still dictated by the moon and the tides. (CNN)
