I just saw that Antarctica has also been trending substantially lower for sea ice coverage due to feedback loops beneath the ice

Trump supporters support Trump. I don’t get why this is reportable news

This DLSS5 thing reminds me of the Wizard Of Oz at the Sphere in Las Vegas. Total AI trash where engineers led the project

We knew if we asked they would say no so it was to show the world that they would say no. We don’t need them but would like to have them but it’s not like I miss them or anything. It would be fun to hang out but like they’re stupid and I hate them

Depends on the vegetable or fruit. A lot of the stuff at a supermarket has been washed to some extent at which point only other shoppers are smearing poop on the veggies. I know cantaloupe is a common source of E. coli outbreaks because of the skin texture or something.

There are special sanitizing solutions that you can get to wash veggies. It was standard practice in Peru but not as much in the US

Just a way to induce demand and drive up prices

Lube it and send it but you should probably get a new one just in case

I like prem thakker and people they interview on zeteo but I find mehdi a bit too much. He used to host the Intercepted Podcast and during the 2020 primaries was absolutely smitten with pete-eat

 

URGENT: SEND SOLAR GENERATORS & PANELS TO CUBAN HOSPITALS!

Trump’s fuel blockade is starving Cuba of power, crippling hospitals and schools, and attempting to induce a famine.

We are rushing solar generators and panels to our neighbors 90 miles away so that hospitals can keep their doors open and their lights on. Your donation helps ensure patients receive the essential care they need.

This crisis does not have to exist. It was created by the Trump Administration and should be reversed immediately.

Until these cruel policies end, as neighbors, we must act and send aid.

Help us stop the Trump Administration from creating famine in Cuba.

Donate now. Send power. Save lives.

Please do not write “Cuba” in donation comments or on the memo line of checks. Simply write “Urgent Aid.”

To donate by check:
Make check payable to: The People's Forum
On memo line write: “Urgent Aid” (Do not write Cuba!)
Mail to: The People's Forum, 320 W 37th St, New York, NY 10018

All donations are tax-deductible.

Let Cuba Live. Act Now.

Turn off the auto-dubbing if it sounds weird.

It’s a TikTok video originally.

Breathe easy, people! This whole thing was just a couple of guys who died of suicide. No one else was really involved and evil died with them.

Start an anti-tech company jihad

In 2026, countries that want to win the trade war have a unique historical possibility: They could repeal their “anticircumvention” laws, which make it illegal—a felony, in many cases—to modify devices and services without permission from their manufacturers.

US tech giants (and giant US companies that use tech) have used digital locks to amass a vast hoard of ill-gotten wealth. In 2026, the first country bold enough to raid that hoard gets to transform hundreds of billions in US rents into hundreds of millions in domestic profits that launch its domestic tech sector into a stable orbit—and the remaining hundreds of billions will be reaped by all of us, everyone in the world (including Americans who buy gray-market jailbreaking tools from abroad), as a consumer surplus.

 

Basically the cash burn rate for inference is much higher than reported and the media’s focus on training obfuscates it. All of the companies involved hide what the actual revenues are and if they even cover (or are trending towards covering) running costs of the models.

Ed Zitron with FT attempt to derive what those actual numbers are since they’re all over the place but cannot confirm hardly anything. It seems that at best revenues are 2/3 cash burn rate but are more like 1/2 and this is without considering the massive obligations that OpenAi is committing to.

 

The article gives no indication as to how the model works (other neural networks) so it could be a fluke especially since it is not physics based.

The arstechnica piece has this at the bottom:

“It’s not immediately clear why the GFS performed so poorly this hurricane season,” Lowry wrote. “Some have speculated the lapse in data collection from DOGE-related government cuts this year could have been a contributing factor, but presumably such a factor would have affected other global physics-based models as well, not just the American GFS.”
