I will never understand how they took “rude but intelligent guy solves crimes” and turned it into “Cumberbatch needs magical therapy hour and also there is LORE” Just solve the fucking crime Sherlock. You had one job

www.theverge.com/ai-artificia... Have you tried the new french open AI model, Le Chonk? You gotta try Le Chonk, it's way better than Ooh La La Flash. Its tooling beats the pants off BagUette. I can't believe your agents are still running on Hon-x3

The next hot open AI model is named Le Chonk.
French AI startup Mistral says its new trillion-parameter model, Mistral Large 4 — also called Le Chonk — is the best open-weight model developed outside of China. It says it’s particularly strong at ...

Cambridge South is a very oddly placed station… I guess it’s closer to the bioscience centre than residential but that park is confusing.

“None of this means the Irkutsk pathogen will cause a pandemic. “But the response clearly indicates that Russia believes an epidemic is possible – and that the responsible agent is likely a pandemic weapon or otherwise embarrassing for the government.

EG fell for it too. :( The Capcom presentation contains a slide with "AI世代のゲームエンジンへ" - the article omits the "へ", for one, but the issue is that while 世代 means 'generation', it's in the 'console generation' sense, not like GenAI. Without へ, translation software gets it totally wrong.

I’m not a tea expert but what’s always puzzled me about the matcha craze is how far it goes to make you unable to taste matcha Especially when sites boast Ceremonial Grade matcha (not a real category actually) to indicate it’s high quality

Here's my parenting advice: Do not, under any circumstances let the little buggers bully you. They make awful choices and would only eat jam until they die from some or other stupid thing. Fight them on the beaches. And in the supermarket. And in the car parks. And at pick up time from school.

For #AncientSiteSunday the #Hellenistic theatre at Pergamon, #Türkiye, built in the 3rd century BC, alterations were made in the #Roman period. It's one of the steepest known ancient theatres. The capacity was about 10,000 spectators. 📷️ C. Bredfeldt 🏺
A full shot of the ruins of an ancient theatre, located on a hillside.  The theatre's steep tiered seating structure is clearly visible, constructed of light gray stone blocks, weathering evident in various tones. The hillside surrounding the theatre is covered with grass, creating a contrast between the man-made stone structures and the natural landscape. Sections of crumbling stone walls and foundations are scattered throughout the grassy slopes.
