Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.
Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

Finding a religious country that is very accepting of homosexuality is difficult. China is the outlier of a very unreligious country that is also very unaccepting of homosexuality. Chile, Taiwan, and Slovakia hang out in the middle not caring about anything all that much. Source: buff.ly/gYw5IPb

This is a crazy paper. Fine-tuning a big GPT-4o on a small amount of insecure code or even "bad numbers" (like 666) makes them misaligned in almost everything else. They are more likely to start offering misinformation, spouting anti-human values, and talk about admiring dictators. Why is unclear.

Not only can you see the clear East-West divide between the former FDR and GDR, but Berlin too also remains divided between East and West.
