The article doesn't say it, but this cool solar forecasting software uses no large language models, the thing people usually think of when they hear "AI." It uses a fairly simple convolutional neural network that's readily trained on a laptop. No data centers or LLMs involved. Research paper here:

A reminder: AI is a bad translator--it will give you in a pinch the meaning (if it doesn't get hopelessly confused) , but i will not create something that reads like a book.
That's why we have professionals.
(And everyone who's reread ai translations knows that it's faster going to rewrite them)

Bon, je n'en peux plus de soupirer. 🙃
Amazon offers AI translation for self-published Kindle books
AI translation is coming to your Kindle.

I'm gonna need folks to understand that just because the worst people in America are obsessed with GLP-1s exclusively because of weight loss does not mean they are not LIFE SAVING for a lot of people.

There's a reason they're studying their impact on Long Covid right now.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity
Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

I'm curious how many Canadians who wholeheartedly support US Dems not caving to Repubs in their government shutdown, are simultaneously demanding NDP and Bloc MP's cave to the Liberals to keep our government from shutting down.

Disposable cheap N95 respirators are one of the greatest inventions in medical history. We *accidentally* drove one of the circulating flu strains *EXTINCT* in the wild early in COVID!
N95s can prevent more than just Covid!

They stop colds, flus and other airborne illness.

They’re also highly effective against pollen, pollution, wildfire smoke and environmental triggers.

Many maskers haven’t been sick in years.

Respirators are pretty amazing.
