Climate change inaction being paid for in millions of lives every year, global findings suggest
New global findings in the 9th annual indicator report of The Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change reveal that the continued overreliance on fossil fuels and failure to adapt to climate change is being paid in people's lives, health, and livelihoods, with 12 of 20 indicators tracking health threats reaching unprecedented levels.

Ed Zitron offers 15K words on whether Nvidia is like Enron (or several other famous fraudsters) or not. It's amusing and erudite and most people just won't have time to plow through it. Which is a pity, because 80% of the way through there’s a section called:
“Is NVIDIA Shipping Millions Of GPUs And Putting Them In Warehouses? Where Are The 6 Million Shipped Blackwell GPUs?”
His findings are absolutely shocking. Tl;dr: That headline just above.

Interesting breakdown of where some of the key melodies came from on the Rod Stewart hit. Worth considering in the context of art/copyright/theft/AI

“We wrote the biggest-selling single that Rod ever had, and it took us an hour to put it down. It ended up selling millions all around the world”: When Rod Stewart and drummer Carmine Appice created a controversial disco-era smash hit
It all started when Rod said, "I want something like Miss You by the Stones"

I still have my pet theory that Shelley Carroll is prepping a run for mayor.

This has allowed me to make clear something that's been at the back of my mind. Something that is at the heart of so much blind stupidity in big tech.
It's the assumption that we will change one thing and all else will be the same.

Muuten kyllä selvisi, että olen vapusta 2019 lähtien viettänyt eniten aikaa kotona, sitten töissä ja mökillä. Olisiko tuon selvittämiseksi todella tarvinnut ajaa läppirllä postgresql:lää reilut 20 tuntia? Tuskin saamme koskaan tietää.
