Not necessarily weird but I had a triple/quadruple inception dream once. I remember being quite frazzled when I actually woke up, was unsure if I was still dreaming for a while

I find it very odd for adults (at least older ones) not knowing what files and folders are when there's an analog equivalent

Dyson sphere program first playthrough. About to build my first sphere. Just need to build the rockets, the launching infrastructure is already in place. Got to design the sphere too

I would laugh my ass off if bitcoin crashed to zero. I think it's unlikely but it would be funny

If trump needs a W he should simply give up on Iran and go back to annex Greenland. The Europeans will simply roll over, it would be so much easier

The boys are coming back

⚡️⭕️ Mohammed Al-Bukhiti, a member of the Ansar Allah movement's political council:

A decision has been made to stand militarily with Iran, and zero hour will be announced at the right time.

The images coming out of gaza are horrific. Anyone still defending Israel should just be executed

Humanity is so cooked

Lmao America boycotting the G20. Basically giving hegemony to China on a platter

I will NOT attend the G20 summit in Johannesburg.

South Africa is doing very bad things. Expropriating private property. Using G20 to promote “solidarity, equality, & sustainability.” In other words: DEI and climate change.

My job is to advance America’s national interests, not waste taxpayer money or coddle anti-Americanism.

Things are happening in Pakistan. Huge protests against the military dictatorship, which the US supports. Surprised I haven't seen any mentions here

Pakistan Army has been called under Article 245, direct fire orders issued

What's going on in Northern gaza right now is truly horrifying.

Literal killing fields happening

Breaking Israeli occupation forces prepared a deep hole in one of the squares surrounding the Indonesian Hospital, and placed some males in it with their hands tied and their eyes blindfolded In north Gaza

Link has a video, no gore. There's also other photo where children can be seen

"People are sick of the bullshit in here."

— Reporter @cosgrove_iv at the State Department confronts Matt Miller on U.S. foreign policy.

I guess there's at least one journalist with a conscience

Edit: here's the context of what he said

Reporter @cosgrove_iv confronts Matt Miller on U.S. foreign policy: You're risking nuclear war while financing genocide—people are sick of the bullshit!

"So my question for you is you know we often hear in response to these concerns that while Putin, Khomeini, you know they're terrorists as if they're too inherently evil or immoral for us to negotiate with. But meanwhile, this administration has financed a genocide in Gaza for the last year, and every day you're up there denying accountability for it."

I know people here are very skeptical of AI in general, and there is definitely a lot of hype, but I think the progress in the last decade has been incredible.

Here are some quotes

“In my field of quantum physics, it gives significantly more detailed and coherent responses” than did the company’s last model, GPT-4o, says Mario Krenn, leader of the Artificial Scientist Lab at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen, Germany.

Strikingly, o1 has become the first large language model to beat PhD-level scholars on the hardest series of questions — the ‘diamond’ set — in a test called the Graduate-Level Google-Proof Q&A Benchmark (GPQA)1. OpenAI says that its scholars scored just under 70% on GPQA Diamond, and o1 scored 78% overall, with a particularly high score of 93% in physics

OpenAI also tested o1 on a qualifying exam for the International Mathematics Olympiad. Its previous best model, GPT-4o, correctly solved only 13% of the problems, whereas o1 scored 83%.

Kyle Kabasares, a data scientist at the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute in Moffett Field, California, used o1 to replicate some coding from his PhD project that calculated the mass of black holes. “I was just in awe,” he says, noting that it took o1 about an hour to accomplish what took him many months.

Catherine Brownstein, a geneticist at Boston Children’s Hospital in Massachusetts, says the hospital is currently testing several AI systems, including o1-preview, for applications such as connecting the dots between patient characteristics and genes for rare diseases. She says o1 “is more accurate and gives options I didn’t think were possible from a chatbot”.

The American healthcare system is truly an horrific nightmare.
