Los Angeles Lost Track of Billions in Homelessness Funding
March 10th, 2025Via: Epoch Times:
Los Angeles City officials have lost track of billions in spending on homelessness services, according to an independent audit released on March 6.
The audit was commissioned by federal District Judge David O. Carter and completed by Alvarez & Marsal Public Sector Services (A&M).
The report noted that A&M found it challenging to completely quantify how Los Angeles officials spent approximately $2.3 billion in funding meant to shelter, feed, and serve homeless people because of the incomplete and inaccurate manner the city’s homelessness program recorded and collected data.
The report painted a grim picture of the homeless program managed by Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), which was established in 1993.
“Repetitive information gaps, coupled with a lack of accurate and complete data and documentation, posed significant obstacles to this assessment,” the report states.

Earlier this week, Hasbro announced its newest version of the classic board game Monopoly but with a big change—the role of the banker is gone. In its place is Monopoly App Banking, a concept designed to speed up play and make the game more enjoyable. When it lands in stores this August for $25, smartphones will serve as the bankers, and each player will manage their money using the accompanying free mobile app. (Players must each have their own phone.)
‘Body in a Box’: World’s First Computer Powered by Human Brain Cells
March 6th, 2025Via: Independent:
An Australian startup has unveiled the world’s first commercial biological computer that runs on living human brain cells.
Melbourne-based Cortical Labs launched the CL1 at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week, describing it as a “body in a box” that holds the potential to revolutionise AI and robotics.
The computer uses lab-grown neurons that grow across a silicon chip, which allows them to send and receive electrical impulses.
This setup is then integrated into Cortical Labs’s Biological Intelligence Operating System (biOS), through which users can deploy code through the neurons and perform computing tasks.
An internal life support system of pumps, gas, and temperature controls keep the neurons alive for up to six months.
