The research of Dr. Gladys West, who died Jan. 17 at 95, laid the groundwork for the GPS. Thanks in part to her, anyone with a smartphone can navigate easily from one place to the next, without having to stop to ask for directions.
washingtonpost.com
Mathematician Gladys West dies at 95. She was a hidden figure behind GPS.
Without the mathematical model that she helped refine, “the extraordinary positioning, navigation, and timing accuracy of GPS would be impossible to achieve.”

A cínica em mim diz que o homem que teve anos para casar com a sua companheira e mãe dos filhos, decidiu fazê-lo agora por conveniência (e pressão?) devido a estar praticamente nas mãos do reino saudita. A Georgina sem um certificado de casamento tem a vida mais dificultada na Arábia Saudita.

Tech firms torrented millions of pirated books to train their AI models. Now authors are fighting back. My story on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com: www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

AI guzzled millions of books without permission. Authors are fighting back.
Authors are appealing for help from Congress and the courts after Meta and Anthropic used millions of books to create AI technology, without seeking consent.

As diferenças nos posicionamentos oficiais entre o Governo português e o Governo espanhol. A dedicação à transparência, à tomada de medidas, à firmeza no tentar fazer melhor e não apenas reduzir-se ao dizer que se fez ‘bem’ quando não se fez tão ‘bem’ assim,… Diferenças abismais.

A diferença de liderança entre Portugal e Espanha foi assombrosa. Sánchez esteve todo o dia a informar e tranquilizar os espanhóis. Em Portugal, um administrador duma empresa privada veio falar aos jornalistas sobre a situação, muitas horas depois do início do apagão. Parece uma piada de mau gosto…

Here’s the thing about the tariffs: there will be no “short term pain”. Only long term. Every time a company realizes they can get away with charging you extra they don’t ever lower the price again. They just gouge. Whatever price hikes there are will be here for good.
