Sam Altman’s AI empire will devour as much power as New York City and San Diego combined. Experts say it’s ‘scary’ | Fortune Andrew Chien told Fortune he’s been a computer scientist for 40 years but we’re close to “some seminal moments for how we think about AI and its impact on society.”

The world could say no to this, y'know.

Google and Meta search both report that Cape Breton Island has its own time zone 12 minutes ahead of mainland Nova Scotia time because they are both drawing that information from a Beaverton article I wrote in 2024

Front cover: A view of smoking volcanoes in East Java (Indonesia). In the valleys is a layer of Stratus, while on the top of Mount Semeru a small pyrocumulus (also known as flammagenitus) cloud can be seen. Volcanoes emit small particles into the air which provide additional surfaces onto which the water vapour can condense. Therefore, pyrocumulus clouds can appear more dense than other clouds. If the heat source is large enough, the pyrocumulus may evolve into a pyrocumulonimbus.

BREAKING: Moody’s has DOWNGRADED the United States’ credit rating from Aaa to Aa1 — the first-ever U.S. credit downgrade in the agency’s history.

“We do not believe that material multi-year reductions in mandatory spending and deficits will result from current fiscal proposals under consideration.”

An area of deep space with thousands of galaxies in various shapes and sizes on a black background. Most are circles or ovals, with a few spirals. More distant galaxies are redder in colour and smaller, down to being mere dots, while closer galaxies are a bit larger and white or blueish. A few gold-coloured galaxies are bunched closely together in the centre. Bright stars surrounded by spikes lie in our galaxy.

wow.

we’re seeing these galaxies as they looked when the universe was only 6.5 billion years old, which is a little less than HALF its current age.

More and more CHAOS! Trump thrives on chaos, he seemingly cannot live without it. There is just an unbelievable amount of crazy things happening all at once, and all orchestrated by Trump.

When Stephen Miller is running immigration policy, Don Bongino is operating FBI surveillance, Pete Hegseth is deciding who to bomb, and Laura Loomer is firing top national security aides, you don’t have an administration. You have an asylum.

Schooled by Trump, Americans are learning to dislike their allies Our polling shows that Americans’ and Europeans’ attitudes towards each other are changing quickly

I'll bet the people behind her don't even kill dogs.

Whatever was said in this meeting, war plans or not, they did not want anyone to know. Super encrypted and self-disappearing messages. They wanted no record of the discussion whatsoever. This breaks any number of security rules and laws. Some of them had to know that what they were doing was wrong.

Active pattern continues in the Maritimes...
Incoming system tracking to our south/east will bring rain mixing to snow for Wednesday night into Thursday.

A tweet from Tom Williams (@tommyboy0690) reads, "Zelensky wears a suit Trump didn’t have the guts to wear." Below, there is an image of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wearing military fatigues and a helmet while standing in a trench, with soldiers in the background. The image has red text overlaying it that says, "You mean this suit?"

This suit fits him perfectly.

Do love seeing the Larch ‘rose’! 🥰
