Without policy action and a coordinated global response, ultra-processed foods will continue to rise in human diets, harming health, economies. It’s time to act.
Ah, Christchurch - we used utility turn off-turn-on records (late 1960's) to track people's housing movements around the city. Such was the world before privacy laws.
The world is warming. This fact is most often discussed for the Earth’s surface, where we live. But the climate is also changing from the top of the atmosphere to the bottom of the ocean. And there is a clear fingerprint of humanity’s role in causing these changes through greenhouse gas emissions, primarily from burning fossil fuels....
The “warming stripes” are one striking and simple way of visually highlighting the resulting variations in Earth’s surface temperature using shades of blue and red for cool and warm, with one stripe per year.
There are a number of white clover patches blooming on the lawn I am mowing but no bees, and there is a coral reef off the coast but not much living there today in Paris it is too hot to survive yet odd traffic hums, tourists are wide-eyed, as always numb in wonder Art, Art for God’s sake... must survive the end of the bees

Valve have put up an official explainer on why we haven't gotten released dates or pricing for the new Steam Hardware like the Steam Machine and Steam Frame.
kde needs to expand its branding outside of just software. i suggest we start with produce. we need kogurt, kheese, frozen kizza, vegekables, etc. this is how we will get mass user adoption
After wildfires, Belize’s indigenous people rebuild stronger based on “se’ komonil”: reciprocity, solidarity, gender equity, togetherness and community.
Humor requires actual intelligence, not merely pattern matching.
I wish people understood that, despite the name, Artificial Intelligence is no smarter than a literal box of rocks. It's pattern recognition and scripting.
I've found that Gemini also has great difficulty staying on track and maintaining a "conversation". It always seems to wander off the train of investigation and on to something related (but different).

My wife and I got this retired rental van incredibly cheaply at auction when a company which rented them out went bust. It has travelled a mere 338k miles / 544k km 😁 I'll generally just keep mention of it to my website, but it's been a lot of fun doing a low budget interior remodel – and we just finished our first little test trip, to Point Reyes. Mostly I just like that it's cheerful. It was painted by an artist in LA named Haste.
Big tech is gambling the economy on AI… and wants a bailout for it
SoSoTheDestroyer : This is my dissection of the AI bubble, including why it's more fragile than most people think it is and why we might be headed for another financial crisis. Oh, and the billionaires want a bailout, because of course they do.
An Astute Summary By One of the Commenters on the Video:
"Remember, that the reason RAM prices have gone up such a large percent is because a massive amount of not-yet-manufactured memory was bought with money that doesn't really exist to be put into GPUs that haven't been made yet, to be installed in data centers that haven't all been built yet, powered by infrastructure that cannot support it sustainably, to satisfy a demand that isn't actually there, in order to generate profits that are mathematically impossible."

What about NO.! I use #LINUX at 100% . No need to downgrade to a AI slop vibe coded #windows . Anybody can upgrade to Linux for free. Why should one ever PAY for bad unsecure software again ? Make donations to FSF or other OSS organisations if you use it .

🤖🤖 La ambiciosa iniciativa de un pueblo para salvar el agua de la IA 🤖🤖
Quilicura es una comunidad del norte de Santiago, Chile. Cubre una superficie aproximada de 56,6 km² y se ubica en la cuenca hidrográfica del río Maipo, una de las principales fuentes de agua de la ciudad para consumo humano y agrícola.
The deliberate conscious effort that we humans require to do anything, like make art or write an academic paper, has been belittled and glossed over.
Instead results are glamorously prized as the product of success, and the amount of effort that it took to get there is hidden away in shame.
AI is the obscene extreme to that mentality: not more thinking, effort, work, anything— get the result now. While it was that exact effort that made us human in the first place.
I'm looking for a singer for a little project. Upcoming, recording/performing, building a profile... Crucially, needs to be a bit R&B / soul-y in style, and able to improvise melodically. So if anyone's recently stumbled across anyone like this on, say, Bandcamp etc, I'd be interested to know
