Ukrainian authorities began evacuating people from Bilopillia in the northeast Sumy Oblast on Tuesday, May 14, ahead of a possible Russian attack in the area.

Military intelligence chief Gen Kyrylo Budanov told the New York Times in an interview published Tuesday that Russians could target Sumy Oblast next after Ukraine reinforced under-pressure lines in Kharkiv Oblast.

State broadcaster Suspilne posted video of the first day of evacuations from Bilopillia, which has seen repeated Russian shelling throughout the full-scale invasion. Two women were killed by shelling there in late April.

Mayor Yuriy Zarka said 28 people, including six children, were evacuated from Bilopillia on Tuesday. Evacuations were set to continue in the city and Vorozhba, but they were not mandatory, according to Governor Volodymyr Artiukh. Credit: Suspilne News via Storyful

China's $47B semiconductor fund puts chip sovereignty front and center
China has closed a third state-backed investment fund to bolster its semiconductor industry and reduce reliance on other nations, both for using and for manufacturing wafers — prioritizing what is called chip sovereignty. China's National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund, also known simply as 'the Big Fund,' had two previous vintages: Big Fund I (2014 to 2019) and Big Fund II (2019 to 2024). The latter was significantly larger than the former, but Big Fund III is larger than both at 344 billion yuan, or about $47.5 billion, public filings revealed.

AI models have favorite numbers, because they think they're people
AI models are always surprising us, not just in what they can do, but what they can't, and why. An interesting new behavior is both superficial and revealing about these systems: they pick random numbers as if they're human beings. This is actually a very old and well known limitation we, humans, have: we overthink and misunderstand randomness.
