For more than a week, Dobby Chew has been starting each day with a new routine: getting to know the voters in a crucial constituency ahead of the Aug 12 polls in Selangor.  Normally, the 33-year-old would be in his office, dealing with rights-related issues. He also has his hands full leading NGOs in efforts such as the move to abolish the mandatory death penalty in Malaysia.  Today, though, he is one of four candidates vying for the Seri Setia seat, contesting on behalf of his party, Muda, which is up against two of the country's most established political coalitions in addition to an independent.

The potential is huge for Alibaba Group Holding Ltd to unlock its value through the historical reorganisation, given its cheap valuation that currently prices the Chinese e-commerce leader below peers. With its Hong Kong shares trading below 10 times of its estimated earnings for the next 12 months, Alibaba's valuation trails that of major rivals JD.com Inc and PDD Holdings Inc, which have double-digit multiples. The stock is even cheaper than utility firm CLP Holdings Ltd, and is valued on a par with China Telecom Corp.

'AI passes US medical licensing exam.' 'ChatGPT passes law school exams despite ‘mediocre' performance.' 'Would ChatGPT get a Wharton MBA?'Headlines such as these have recently touted (and often exaggerated) the successes of ChatGPT. These successes follow a long tradition of comparing AI‘s abilities to those of human experts, such as Deep Blue's chess victory over Garry Kasparov in 1997, IBM Watson's 'Jeopardy!' victory over Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter in 2011, and AlphaGo's victory in the game Go over Lee Se-dol in 2016.

A treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) can also reduce night-time heartburn, coughing and wheezing according to a study published today (Thursday) in ERJ Open Research [1]. People with OSA often snore loudly, their breathing starts and stops during the night, and they may wake up several times. Not only does this cause tiredness, but it can also increase the risk of high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines work by blowing air through a face mask throughout the night to prevent the user's airway from closing.

DOJ via US Southern District of Florida (NEW YORK) -- Of all of the federal charges that former president Donald Trump and his aide Walter Nauta face in the investigation into the alleged mishandling of top secret government documents, obstruction is one of the most serious, according to legal experts. Claire Finkelstein, the founder and faculty director of the Center for Ethics and the Rule of Law (CERL), at the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg Public Policy Center, noted that the obstruction charges in the indictment against Trump and his aide carry as much serious weight as the charges related to keeping the top secret documents, with a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
