Help Sehwel family with their medical treatment
I'm Joe in the UK, I've been in touch with Aseel from the Sehwel family for over a year now and have been following their difficult struggle to afford medication, shelter and food in Gaza. I'm creating this Chuffed campaign for the family to help afford these things and hopefully help them get out of Gaza when the opportunity arises. Here's Aseel's writing:

There's magic trick that can make any #AI project successful. When the LLM's success rate is too low, just say "it's OK, we will have a human in the loop" and ship it anyway.

"Human in the loop" is a thought-terminating cliche

The real nuclear moonshot is here on Earth
Developing extraterrestrial nuclear power is a worthy research project. If we are to someday establish permanent settlements on the moon, they will require a lot of energy.

A 75% reduction in charging costs compared to immediate charging, and 60% compared to charging during off-peak hours at a standard rate. Per truck 🚛 , an annual saving of €3,000 by purchasing market electricity. This is demonstrated by this successful French project.
