How The U.S.’s Oldest Natural History Museum Might Meet Its End.
Although the future of the museum and its more than 18 million specimens appears to rest in the hands of Drexel University and the city government, this problem is not unique to the Academy or even Philadelphia.

@Edent I was surprised how many times I found a Nix package for such projects. Saves all the hassle. 😄

…At which point Portsmouth councillor, George Madgwick, formerly of UKIP and now leader of Reform UK in Hampshire stirred up shit on social media and, with the help of Steven Yaxley-Lennon arse lickers, hundreds of anti-migrant protestors descended upon Ferry Road.

The thing about Eastney & Craneswater is that it is also host to many of the wealthiest homes in Portsea Island, and I have no doubt that many of them are Reform supporters too.

The kind of people who voted for Linda Symes…

@cygnathreadbare Yikes, that doesn't sound good. I'll do some more research on that. Thanks for the info!

@randahl CDU always said in the past years, they wanted to cut the AfD in half—they almost succeeded, they just have some trouble with the aiming and their feet are always in the way

@elettrona Absolutely.
Back to your original point - I'm anti AI use in my field, but it kills me that there are so many potentially great uses to aid people that are ignored because they're not moneyspinners. Yes, you can make the current AI stuff do useful things, but it's not being DESIGNED for that and why the hell not?
I can only imagine the use of being able to ask questions or request functions with natural language and getting worthwhile results.

At least 5 of these 7 points will do nothing but increase the surveillance state, ultimately putting European Jews at more risk when things, inevitably, officially/legally turn against them.

Current fears + generational trauma is blinding us to the ramifications of deepening our dependence on states built on top of cultures that have thousands of years of fucked up track records for Jews.

"The Conference of #European #Rabbis (#CER) launched a seven-point manifesto in #Brussels last week, demanding that European governments move beyond physical security measures and dismantle the ideological and financial infrastructure driving rising hostility against #Jewish communities.

The manifesto, titled “A Call to End the Violent Hatred,” was presented at the Representation of the Free State of #Bavaria to the #EU before a gathering of #politicians, #policymakers, and #journalists."

Remember those days everyone repeating the lies of Netanyahu about Iran wanting to wipe Israel off the map of the earth?

In reality, Israel has been planning to erase Palestine off the map of the earth, since their creation, and now with the backing and support of the big tech, almost all western countries and of course most of the Arab world, they are actually doing it.

EVERY ACCUSATION WAS A CONFESSION!

“The Senate GOP campaign arm, in a private memo to top AI companies, warns that toxic views of U.S. data centers are killing the party's chances of holding a vital seat in Ohio.”

is the AI teat so delicious you’ve given up the ability to do computing for it? really? then how about you stop codegooning and pretending it’s good

it’s not hard to understand, there’s literally no reason why the hardware is inaccessibly expensive other than AI corporations buying all the future manufacturing capacity for this shit for datacenters and manufacturers being a cartel to make that possible

so how the fuck do these guys pretend to not see it?
