How is it different from BigQuery? Is it faster? Is it cheaper?

The median LLM paper is insanely sloppy. Charts with no axes, wild speculation, conclusions drawn from weak or insufficient evidence. It’s a whole standard below prior ML sloppiness

Well US allies who are pressuring US are not buying Russian oil. How much of the Russian oil, Poland, Baltics, and Scandinavian countries bought?

Let's drop the naivité and accept that this war will end on the battlefield after Ukraine achieves the necessary military strength, not in a conference room after a round of talks and a carafe of wine.

Putin was once again dressed up in military uniform and brought to the “Zapad-2025” drills, paraded as a show of force meant to scare NATO.

He came to scare NATO himself.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Question:

When in the actual fuck, as a country, did we decide that our government gets to demand that we mourn someone in some particular way?

Exclusive: No evidence of primary residence violation by Fed Gov Lisa Cook, says Michigan official The property tax authority in Ann Arbor, Michigan, said that Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook hasn’t broken rules for tax breaks on a home there that Cook declared her primary residence.

NEW: Reuters asked the Michigan Tax Authority whether Lisa Cook violated any mortgage tax rules for her home in Ann Arbor. They said no. That's in addition to Reuters earlier reporting that nothing was wrong with the documents for her home in Atlanta. www.reuters.com/world/us/no-...

Any sane US president in any normal timeline would call for Putin to stop invading a sovereign state and murder its citizens.

But we are not in normal timeline:

Does this idiot understand who invaded who?

Trump: “I’m sure Ukraine thought it was going to win. But you’re trying to beat someone 15 times bigger than you. Biden should never have allowed this to happen.”

I agree with the state of journalism. However if you have text in Excel which needs to be summarised you are using a wrong tool. Excel is only good for data storage and simple operations. Nothing else. Period.

Family that fled war twice did not survive Kyiv bombing

The story of this family is one of thousands, yet it is uniquely painful. They fled the war in the Donbas region, and later from Kharkiv, seeking a safe haven in the capital. But on the night of July 31st, Kyiv also became a target.

💔🇺🇦 Mykyta, Sofiya, and their 2‑year‑old son were killed in a russian strike on Kyiv on July 31. They were only 23.

🙏 They had fled Sloviansk, rented an apartment in the capital — but a missile directly hit their building. Sofiya was pregnant with their second child.

Why has Mira of Kyiv (@reshetz.bsky.social) been suspended?

My info is that she is a local news reporter. I have never seen a post that violated Bluesky rules.

Her voice is important to bring Ukrainian news to the broad audience.

😳Our Ukrainian reality.
A wedding in Sumy
Under the sound of a shahed.

Even on the happiest day of their lives
War doesn’t let go
No one deserves to get married under the roar of a drone

This is not normal
This is not fair
This is Ukraine - still trying to live while
russia keeps trying to kill

1 month ago today Human Rights Watch found Russian army is committing war crimes in Kherson, deliberately hunting civilians with drones in "human safaris".

There has been worldwide outrage & campus shutdowns as a result...
