ADHD linked to higher risk of late-life cognitive impairment and dementia in new study

Research and discussion of ADHD have historically centered on kids, but the disorder affects people across the whole lifespan, including in old age. Now, scientists are probing how ADHD relates to brain health during that life stage. A new study that examined more than 180,000 older adults linked ADHD with a higher risk of cognitive impairment and dementia. Importantly, this research doesn’t mean that attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder causes dementia, but it underscores the importance of awareness and the need for more research. The study, published earlier this month in JAMA Psychiatry, found ADHD was associated with roughly four times the hazard of cognitive impairment or dementia in the older adults studied. Researchers also found that for people who did develop cognitive impairment, those with ADHD reported poorer mental health and social satisfaction and had more medical…

What’s actually new and different on the MacBook Pro PROLED XDR? Here’s everything you need to know

Apple has unveiled its first-ever touchscreen MacBook Pro. The company seems a bit confused about the naming, calling it the “MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display,” which is tough to remember. If you look past that and review the full spec sheets, you might ask a genuine question: what are the differences between the touchscreen and non-touchscreen versions? Given that Apple continues to sell both variants together, that’s a genuine question. Luckily, you don’t have to spend more time lining up the spec sheets side by side and hunting for differences hidden in the fine print. I took that bullet for you. Here’s everything that’s different between the PROLED XDR Display and the regular MacBook Pro. The biggest difference sits right on the front. The new PROLED version switches to a 16.3-inch tandem OLED panel with full touch support, while the standard model keeps the familiar 16.2-inch…

Risks spelled out for Anthropic investors include possible harms from runaway AI

The risks laid out by the San Francisco company in its filing Monday with the Securities and Exchange Commission included discussion of bad actors potentially using AI models to build deadly weapons or the technology itself going rogue with untold consequences. Of the 335 pages outlining Anthropic’s finances, executive compensation, dividend policy and the like, 93 pages are devoted to “risk factors” — the things that could hurt potential shareholders’ investments. Rival SpaceX’s listed risk factors, in comparison, took up 38 out of more than 250 pages. In selling itself to investors, Anthropic presents its own initial public offering as a step toward mitigating the risks it believes AI poses. “To build AI is to harness cognition itself, and anything so powerful can be used for ill as well as good,” write the company’s founders in a letter to prospective shareholders in the IPO filing.…

Meghan Markle Feels Like a ‘Cheap Pawn’ in Netflix Drama — Source

Meghan Markle reportedly didn't appreciate Netflix's "The Gentleman" snub. A source told Closer that the Duchess seemed to struggle to move on from the alleged rejection. The show's team allegedly dismissed talks of offering Markle a role. Meanwhile, her source claimed otherwise. Now, the "Suits" alum's team believes she was seemingly "used" for promotions for the upcoming season. "This was always a pretty unlikely collaboration considering how close the director Guy Ritchie is to the Beckhams and the Waleses; that should have raised red flags right there. And then there was the timing," the insider said. Reportedly, Markle and her team ignored the "red flags" because of the excitement. She was allegedly happy about being considered for the popular Netflix series. Moreover, the news became a hot topic of discussion online and in the media. With the latest alleged update, Markle's circle…
