In this episode of Discover Daily, we dive into the trending stories that captured attention over the weekend. We begin by exploring OpenAI's acquisition of Rockset, an enterprise analytics startup, and how this move aims to enhance OpenAI's retrieval infrastructure and make AI more accessible to users worldwide. We also discuss the challenges faced by Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, which has left two NASA astronauts stranded at the International Space Station due to helium leaks and thruster failures.

Next, we shift our focus to SpaceX's unveiling of the Starlink Mini, a compact satellite internet antenna that promises to provide internet access anywhere in the US. We also celebrate a groundbreaking achievement by Gilead Sciences in the fight against HIV, as their experimental twice-yearly shot, lenacapavir, demonstrates a 100% success rate in preventing HIV cases among women and adolescent girls in Africa.

Finally, we address the disappointing news for European Union listeners, as Apple announces that its highly anticipated Apple Intelligence features will not be available to European customers at launch due to regulatory issues related to the Digital Markets Act. We explore the potential implications of this decision and how it may prompt changes in EU laws or cause problems for Apple in one of its key markets.
