The people who tried to overturn the 2020 election have more power than ever – and they plan to use it.
Bolstered by the president,
they have prominent roles in key parts of the federal government.

An election denier, 🔸Heather Honey, now serves as the deputy assistant secretary for election integrity in the …

In 2020, after it became clear I’m unlikely to die of COVID, I’ve switched my perspective from fear to fascination.
I looked around & ~enjoyed~ experiencing unprecedented times. Couldn’t change them, so I channeled my inner Jocko Willink & made the best out of it.
Today, I feel similarly about AI. 1/3

It's hard to overstate Nvidia’s AI dominance.
Founded in 1993, Nvidia first made its mark in the then-new field of graphics processing units (GPUs) for personal computers.
But it’s the company’s AI chips,
not PC graphics hardware,
that vaulted Nvidia into the ranks of the world’s most valuable companies.
It turns out that Nvidia’s GPUs are also excellent for AI.
As a result, its stock is more than 15 times as valuable as it was at the start of 2020;

I was thinking, maybe another time you could say e.g. "in the early days of the pandemic" to refer to around 2020/2021.
It's because saying "during the pandemic" to mean a past era can give the impression that covid is over now, which I don't think is a helpful framing.

Good Morning #Canada
This morning, our old Mazda goes in for new brakes, front and back, and install the snow tires. While sipping my coffee, I was wondering about auto stats in Canada....
- Canada ranks 23rd worldwide in vehicles per 1,000 people. USA ranks 10th.
- COVID put and end to rising car ownership. In 2020 there were 473 vehicles for every 1,000 people. Today, it's estimated to be 408.
- 11% of Canadians own 3 or more vehicles, 2% own 5 or more.
- 9% own an electric vehicle or hybrid.
- 78% of Canadians say it would be impossible for them not to have a car.
- 41% wish they had better transportation options to avoid needing a car altogether.
- Compared to 2024, car ownership costs have increased 9 per cent, rising from $5,025 to $5,497 annually.

fly_hemibrain: Fly hemibrain (2020)
A synaptic map of the hemibrain connectome of fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Nodes are neurons, and edges are synaptic connections, traced individually from brain image sections using EM reconstruction techniques. Neurons are labeled by their type. Edges are annotated by the connection strength between the neurons.
This network has 21739 nodes and 4259624 edges.
