Cool news hits part of Bay Area, as weekend heat wave begins to build

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:25:48 GMT

The foundation for the summer’s second heat wave   — a searing blast that will take inland temperatures past 100 degrees and is bringing warnings from state officials— continued to be formed Wednesday, but the National Weather Service did have one bit of cool news for the Bay Area.“Normally, when you see these heat waves with these strong high-pressure ridges, we get off-shore winds that are warm and that just makes it miserable for everyone,” NWS meteorologist Sean Miller said. “This time, we will still be getting the on-shore winds that are cool. So some of the places near the beaches and water are not gonna get so hot.”That likely will mean a few degrees of consolation for most Bay Area residents. Temperatures in many areas that were forecast to go past 100 degrees during the heat wave instead may top out in the high 90s, according to weather services forecasts.The weather service said Morgan Hill will be under 100 by Sunday, and that San...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:25:48 GMT

By Rachel Metz | BloombergElon Musk, who has hinted for months that he wants to build an alternative to the popular ChatGPT artificial intelligence chatbot, announced the formation of what he’s calling xAI, whose goal is to “understand the true nature of the universe.”On a website unveiled Wednesday xAI said its team will be led by Musk and staffed by executives who have worked at a broad range of companies at the forefront of artificial intelligence, including Google’s DeepMind, Microsoft Corp. and Tesla Inc., as well as academic institutions such as the University of Toronto.Musk was involved in the creation of OpenAI, the highest-profile AI startup and developer of ChatGPT.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:25:48 GMT

The California State University Board of Trustees announced a new leader to oversee its 23 campuses during its Wednesday, July 12 meeting — putting an end to a year-long search to replace former CSU Chancellor Joseph Castro, who resigned last year amid blowback from allegations that he mishandled sexual harassment complaints against another administrator.Mildred García, who currently serves as president of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities and was formerly president of both CSUs Fullerton and Dominguez Hills, will take over the role on Oct. 1. She’s the first Latina appointed to the prestigious role, according to the announcement.The chancellor is responsible for overseeing the mammoth university system, including its 460,000 students and 56,000 faculty and staff. She’ll have an annual salary of $795,000, a $96,000 yearly housing stipend, a $1,000 monthly car allowance, and other standard benefits offered to CSU employees, according to a Wednesday board rep...

US inflation hits lowest level in 2 years as prices ease

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:25:48 GMT

By Christopher Rugaber | Associated PressWASHINGTON — Squeezed by painfully high prices for two years, Americans have gained some much-needed relief with inflation reaching its lowest point since early 2021 — 3% in June compared with a year earlier — thanks in part to easing prices for gasoline, airline fares, used cars and groceries.The inflation figure the government reported Wednesday was down sharply from a 4% annual rate in May, though still above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. From May to June, overall prices rose 0.2%, up from just 0.1% in the previous month but still comparatively mild.Even with Wednesday’s better-than-expected inflation data, the Fed is considered all but sure to raise its benchmark rate when it meets in two weeks. But with price increases slowing — or even falling outright — across a range of goods and services, many economists say they think the central bank could hold off on what had been expected to be another rate hike in September, shoul...
