  • Elon Musk says AI has already gobbled up all human-produced data to train itself and now relies on hallucination-prone synthetic data

    AI takes an immense amount of resources—from endless water to an estimated $1 trillion worth of investor dollars—but Elon Musk warned the technology has already run out of its primary training resource: human-created data. Engineers and data scientists train AI by essentially reducing the entire internet, all books, and every interesting video published into a token that AI can digest and learn from, Musk told Mark Penn, CEO of marketing company Stagwell, in an interview streamed on X Wednesday. But AI has already consumed that information, and requires even more data to fine-tune itself.

    How much over-provisioning of an older SSD is best? The drive in question is a 120 GB Samsung 840, Model MZ-7TD120. Obviously this is not the latest and greatest, but is does have Win XP on it and should speed up one of my old XP Machines in my lab. The drive health as reported by Samsung Magician is "Good", with 17TB having been written to it. That's good news, as the TLC NAND is not the most durable in world. (It looks like the existing files on the drive go back as far as 2012, but I'm not to...

  • Kamala Harris says she ‘may have to take over’ as president and is ready to do so

    WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris said Wednesday that an important part of her job is the fact that she “may have to take over” if President Biden is unable to complete his term in office — and that she’s ready to do so if required. Harris was pressed on her readiness for the Oval Office during an overseas trip — after she initially tried to deflect a question about the 80-year-old Biden’s age by pointing to his legislative accomplishments. “Questions about the president’s age often go hand in hand with questions about how you would step in the role...
  • The end of Ukraine aid is rapidly approaching. Reupping it won’t be easy

    The $48 billion Ukraine aid package that Congress approved in December has about $6 billion left, meaning U.S. funding for weapons and supplies could dry up by midsummer. That’s raising fresh concerns among lawmakers about what the White House is planning next, including when the administration will ask for another major package and whether it will be enough.Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), a senior appropriator, indicated the appropriations process would likely be the next time Congress would provide funding unless the situation changed substantially on the ground.“I think you'll see it in appropriations,” Murkowski said in an interview. “It's not making...

    (NEXSTAR) – The public health emergency may soon be coming to an end in the United States, but the COVID-19 pandemic is far from over, say doctors, epidemiologists and global health leaders. “Here in the United States, there are more than 2,000 deaths per week and 20,000 to 30,000 people hospitalized at any time,” said Dr. William Moss, executive director of the International Vaccine Access Center and professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. When the pandemic started is easier to determine than when it will end. The World Health Organization officially declared COVID-19 a global pandemic...

    " The pandemic is over ." The silver-tongued President Joe Biden uttered those words twice in a 60 Minutes interview this month. With that utterance, Biden instantly dissolved the legal fiction that is supposed to justify his forgiveness of $400 billion in student loans at the long-term cost to taxpayers of $1 trillion, including interest. According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, Biden is seeking to implement the most expensive executive order in American history — and his action threatens to undo all the measures taken so far to contain inflation . And he is doing it based on something...

Biden made the remarks during an interview on “60 Minutes,” but as of Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic.

    Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, said Monday that the U.S. is not where it needs to be regarding the coronavirus pandemic, the day after an interview with President Biden was broadcast in which he said that the “pandemic is over.” In a talk with the Center for Strategic & International Studies, Fauci, Biden’s top COVID-19 adviser who last month announced his pending retirement from the government, said that much depends on how the country handles future virus variants.

    During an interview with Colorado Public Radio on Thursday released on Friday, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) defended his refusal to reinstitute a state mask mandate by saying that the coronavirus “emergency is over” and state public health officials don’t “get to tell people what to wear.” Polis also argued that because vaccines have been available for a long time, “People who want to be protected are.” And that “If you haven’t been vaccinated, that’s your choice. I respect that. But it’s your fault when you’re in the hospital with COVID.”

    Former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said Friday that he thinks the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States could be over by January, transitioning to a lower-level “endemic” presence. “I think the bottom line though is that these mandates that are going to be put in place by Jan. 4 really are coming on the tail end of this pandemic,” Gottlieb said on CNBC, referring to President Biden’s deadline for a vaccine or test mandate for businesses with at least 100 employees. “By Jan. 4 this pandemic may well be over at least as it relates to the...

    “The meat is above and beyond all right?” Fadia Chamoun of Lexington lamented as she packed her trunk full of groceries. “It has gone sky high. Everything has gone sky high and it’s extremely sad.” If it feels like lately everything is more expensive, that’s because it is. “The government [just] released that prices over the past 12 months have increased 5.4% and that marks the fifth month in a row of over 5% price increases,” Boston University Questrom School of Business professor Jay Zagorsky explained. “That means that roughly every 14 or 15 years, all prices double.

Donald McNeil — the Grey Lady’s public health reporter during the coronavirus pandemic — allegedly made the remarks during a July 2019 trip to Peru as part of the broadsheet’s “Times Journeys” program, a student on the trip told the paper.

    Hospitals in the United States have implemented new policies based on last year’s severe influenza season, but infectious disease experts agree that America’s health care systems would still be seriously challenged by another bad influenza season. The 2017-2018 influenza season was the first to be classified as “high severity” across all age groups, according to the CDC The number of cases of influenza-associated illness that occurred last season — an estimated 48.4 million people — was the highest since the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, when an estimated 60 million people became sick with influenza. Schaffner said hospital capacity across the country...
