Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), buoyed by the popularity of its first female Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, secured a supermajority in the country's lower house elections on Sunday, marking the party's biggest electoral victory in its seven-decade history, according to NPR. Meanwhile, in Argentina, hundreds gathered at Mar Chiquita Lake to attempt a new Guinness World Record for the largest group floating simultaneously, as reported by Euronews. Elsewhere, Google is testing a paywall for YouTube Music lyrics, restricting access for non-premium subscribers, Ars Technica noted. Additionally, Nvidia unveiled DreamDojo, an AI system designed to teach robots how to interact with the physical world by analyzing thousands of hours of human video, VentureBeat reported.
The election victory in Japan was largely attributed to Prime Minister Takaichi's popularity, who had gambled on using her appeal to revitalize the LDP, NPR reported. The event at Mar Chiquita Lake, part of the second annual "Festival de la Planchita" in Miramar, aimed to gather over 1,941 participants to break the previous record set at Lake Epecuén in 2017, Euronews stated.
Google's move to restrict YouTube Music lyrics access, as detailed by Ars Technica, has led to a limited number of lyric views for free account users before a paywall is triggered. The company's streaming music service previously offered lyrics to all users.
Nvidia's DreamDojo, developed with collaborators from UC Berkeley, Stanford, and the University of Texas at Austin, is designed to significantly reduce the time and cost of training humanoid machines, VentureBeat reported. The system utilizes a large-scale video dataset to teach robots how to interact with diverse objects and environments.
Prime Minister Takaichi, after the election landslide, is expected to pursue a conservative agenda, according to NPR. The outcome of the election represents a significant win for the LDP and a strong endorsement of Takaichi's leadership.
