AGI is not as easy as throwing a huge array of compute nodes at it, is it? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Really, JD?

🗿 Zelenskyy: US has sent 20,000 missiles bound for Ukraine to Middle East instead

ICE, as directed by Trump, is doing exactly these things. I’m worried sick the WAY too many Americans are either not informed about it - or worse, don’t care. Trump’s lifelong dream is to become a ruthless dictator ala Putin/Hitler/KimJongUn. He’s accomplishing Nazi Germany.

Trump deploys the Guard to LA to quell and suppress constitutionally protected dissent. On Jan 6, 2021? He sat in the White House for 187 minutes while the Capitol was literally under siege.

German Chancellor: "May I remind you that we are having June 6 tomorrow. This is the D-Day anniversary." Trump: "Not a pleasant day for you. That was not a great day." German Chancellor: "This was the liberation of my country from Nazi dictatorship."

This exchange is revealing, terrifying, and intellectually bankrupt. No world leader would ever want to enter a room to deal with this guy because he's a crank.

Ukraine did something that the US and Europe failed to do for nearly half a century, it crippled Russia’s ability to launch nuclear weapons and long range strikes. At least one arm of Russia’s nuclear trident was destroyed. Ukraine did that, on its own, successfully. Have you said thank you yet?

I've just submitted this picture to Astronomy Now magazine. 🔭 🧪

British Meat Processors Association: Starmer has “managed to achieve what the previous government promised us originally but didn’t deliver”. ~AA

The U.K. fishing industry - weaponised & then betrayed & then abandoned, by Johnson, Farage & the rest of them - is better off under Starmer’s deal than it was under Johnson’s. That’s not an opinion. It’s counting. Anyone claiming otherwise is a liar.

For all the blanket coverage it's getting today you wouldn't know that fishing contributes a grand total of 0.03% to the UK's economy, or that it is absolutely dwarfed by many other sectors, like the live music industry, which have been badly hit by Brexit but are rarely even mentioned

Makes me feel old when I find I am the same age as the Pope.

If you're looking for clarity on what the UK-US trade deal means... this does not provide it.

Mandelson kisses the ring.

Israeli soldiers have filmed themselves blowing up a building in Gaza for a ‘gender reveal’, having rigged it with explosives that give off blue smoke to indicate a fetus is male.

It’s nonsense

🔺 BREAKING: Mike Waltz, the US national security adviser, is expected to leave his role weeks after becoming engulfed in the Signal scandal, according to a report

I've been doing the Brilliant course on Quantum Computing, and it just struck me that you can't back up a quantum computer - at least not in the way that we understand like a point-in-time copy that we can recover to - since the superposition of quantum states will be lost.

"This is a hostile and political action by Amazon," White House press secretary Katherine Leavitt says of the e-commerce giant's plan to display how much of an item's cost is derived from Trump tariffs. She adds it's not a surprise because "Amazon has partnered with a Chinese propaganda arm."

Trump and Zelenskiy huddled for about 15 minutes at the Vatican on Saturday just before the funeral for Pope Francis — a sign of Trump’s eagerness for a peace deal by April 30, the 100-day mark of his second term
