Barring the market drastically coming down, this is it. It was a move that had to happen and they got it done. My day gets better every time. That helps you solve a lot of issues. Hearing that The Martian is progressing from surgery and expected back in the Summer is awesome news. c’mon give me a 2-3-4 of Judge, Soto, and Dominguez. Hey maybe even Giancarlo Stanton does something with his new diet?...

I know it’s a 30 year old movie but maybe some people haven’t seen it. You’ve been warned.) This is the last good yet true Brian De Palma movie. I’m not sure exactly what happened. The 80’s were a bizarrely uneven decade for him with great movies like Blow Out and The Untouchables. However, he also directed Wise Guys with Joe Piscopo and Casualties Of War with Michael J. Fox playing a soldier in Vietnam....

Just like this episode is bittersweet, such is this blog. I enjoyed going back through the series knowing I was going to share thoughts on each episode. I hope you enjoyed rewatching and reading some of my thoughts. Photos It was not surprising at all that MAJ Winters wanted to trade for the photos of Easy Company. War is horrible in many ways but in others, it’s memorable. I actually have an entire hard drive full....

You think you know a guy … To be that one person who can anticipate his moves, think his thoughts and feel his feelings. And yet it’s proven impossible. Still, he remains a riddle inside an enigma wrapped in a mystery to me. A Matryoshka Doll of unpredictability. Which makes it highly doubtful he’s interested in taking over a tear down project. One of the downtrodden franchises he’s been linked to like Atlanta or Carolina....

A new certification scheme for copyright-compliantAIhas launched, but ChatGPT and other text generators wont qualify. NamedFairly Trained, the initiative arrives amid a brewing backlash against generative AI companies. Inspired by this data, the systems then deliver endless creations in response to prompts. Frequently, the outputs areclear derivationsof their source material. The practice has enraged creators and copyright-holders. That argument has sparked opprobrium. One of the most prominent critics isFairly Traineds CEO, Ed Newton-Rex....

California Governor Gavin Newsome hasn’t gotten the best treatment on this site. Through all fault of his own. To praise, and not merely criticize. I will not sign legislation that bans youth tackle football, Newsom said in a statement late Tuesday. And deserves to be celebrated. Now is not the time for cynicism. “Sure, there’s a risk your kid could get injured playing football. But what about the risk of him growing up to be a pussy?...

This includes preserving the cultural and linguistic diversity of music, he said. This is similar toefforts in other countries such as Canada,which passed theOnline Streaming Actto support Canadian artists. 40% off TNW Conference! Music streaming services might end up doing something similar. While MEPs have overwhelmingly accepted that these issues need to be addressed, the resolution itself is nonlegislative.

AI translation has transformed the way we communicate, breaking down language barriers in an unprecedented way. Among them, Cologne-based DeepL has been raising industry standards even compared totechgiants like Google Translate and Microsoft Translator. Weve always been rivalling big companies. It’s free, every week, in your inbox. This made him realise the importance of language and the difficulty in having to communicate in more than one. We kind of knew that machine translation was going to go in this direction....

I’m talking about the ones where the Celts are clearly sleepwalking. Those who watch this team know what I’m talking about. Well, here the 2023-24 Celts sit, at 14-2 against teams under .500 through their first 41 games. Part of it I’m sure is the maturity aspect. While the talent of the team sure helps, I think things start with their mindset. Watching this team play, I can’t shake the feeling that they finally “get it”....

Drax switched from burning coal to burning biomass mostly wood pellets in 2019. It’s free, every week, in your inbox. Draxs carbon capture units are set to be installed in 2030. How will it work? Three conservative MPs have criticised plans to continue subsidies for Drax. The proposed technology is not proven, said MP Peter Bottomley. There must be no further subsidies for burning trees in our power stations beyond 2027 contracts....

It’s free, every week, in your inbox. Our data centres are highly energy efficient and support local communities with free heat. The tech works by submerging data centre computers in mineral oil, which captures heat from the machines. The output is then processed through a heat exchanger and into the water. The temperature is only topped up when required. It will do this armed with a whopping200mn investment from energy provider Octopus Energy,announcedthis week....

Delft-based QphoX just raised the biggest round of a Dutch quantum startup to date. QphoXs technology supports quantum transduction, i.e. the process of converting quantum information from one form of physical system to another. This will turn on the scalability of largequantum computingsystems within data centres. It would be, among other things, un-hackable, and enable quantum teleportation, i.e. Most likely, it will also introduce entirely new applications, some of which we cannot yet imagine....
