We all literally, LITERALLY just watched NASA fly four absolute all-stars the farthest any human has ever been from Earth and back flawlessly, and yet we're still continuously forced to pretend Musk's bullshit catastrophe factory is the future of human space exploration

Denmark's coal-to-wind transition is one of the most dramatic energy transformations of the past three decades. In 1990, coal provided 90% of Danish electricity. Today it is under 3%. Wind now covers roughly 60% of electricity generation. The last coal plant is scheduled to close by 2028.

No one seems ready for the fallout from the middle east war. So many people think it's business as usual as soon as the war ends. One third of the worlds helium supply has vanished after an attack on Qatar.

So at this point it seems that the Atlassian suite is basically thousands of features and capabilities, delivered to about 80% completion and no chance of them being completed before the next thousand features land.

One of Ireland’s two candidates for president a) voted to seal the mother and baby home records, b) doesn’t think trans women are women, c) supports hare coursing as a ‘sport’ …. So wait - that’s cruelty to women and cruelty to animals !

Just like the movie "Until the end of the world" where the story shows people going insane because they get addicted to spending their wake time watching their own dreams - AI models too collapse when trained on recursively generated data :-) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

AI models collapse when trained on recursively generated data - Nature
 Analysis shows that indiscriminately training generative artificial intelligence on real and generated content, usually done by scraping data from the Internet, can lead to a collapse in the ability of the models to generate diverse high-quality output.
