Kind of ironic, given they’ve not actually stopped whinging about it for the past decade. #auspol https://rssfeed.media/@abcfeeds/115478102222542658

🚀 AI's Energy Crisis?
#AI is exploding, but scaling compute with more data & power is too slow and costly—data centers are building nuclear plants! We need smarter ways to turn energy into intelligence.
🧠 Nature-Inspired Innovation At #Extropic rethinks hardware: Probabilistic computers using thermodynamic principles for massive efficiency. Core: "Pits" (probabilistic bits) that flicker between states for sampling probabilities.

Here is a note on a friend who died two weeks ago...
I will always carry the image of Joel wearing his Sherlock Holmes cap and short cape.
Joel spent many an hour explaining current cosmological theory to me. He explained general relativity at our dinner table and gave me a deep lesson in astrobiology during a trip to Aspen. I wish I had had more teachers like him.

If I have time at some point, I might make it into a tutorial.
Enjoy!

There are many, many kinds of faux insurance products out there.
There’s short-term plans.
But more importantly, there’s also a thing called
❌ "healthcare sharing ministries",
which many people are critical of because they pose as insurance products,
when they’re really not there.
They promise a network of doctors and that you can access that network,
but often they don’t cover drugs.
Those doctors may or may not really participa…

Personally I'd have gone for a dual leadership, one in parliament and one not, and open membership but cautious re opportunist groups (principally SWP).
I'm not optimistic but let's see.

The reaction to NYT's David Sacks story aside, Sacks is pushing policies to help the US win the AI race, which also benefit him, his allies, and even his foes (Dan Primack/Axios)

Trump is very, very angry about a New York Times piece
that carefully documents his obvious physical decline.
Trump raged over the piece,
letting out a stream of lies about his performance in office
and even attacking the reporter who wrote the piece as ugly.
This may seem typical of Trump,
but we think it gets at something deeper.
Trump’s entire political mystique is premised on the fiction that he’s a strong, virile, formidable figure
