Happy #GodzillaDay! 🦖
Growing up, Japan's original Godzilla was pure, chaotic magic. That atomic roar was practically the defining noise of our generation's childhood. Still the best!

Perspective matters! @ourworldindata.org's report reveals how #MainstreamMedia amplifies rare tragedies while ignoring the real causes of death affecting millions. Fear sells, truth saves. Research and question what you see. #MediaBias

Infographic by "Our World in Data", comparing U.S. causes of death in 2023 with media coverage by The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Fox News. Shows heart disease and cancer as leading causes but underreported, while terrorism and homicide are heavily covered despite low death rates.

That makes sense, @genomicssport.bsky.social. I didn't invest much in X/Twitter, so I completely cut ties - removing all posts, unfollowing everyone, and leaving a note about my move here. I'm more active on #Bluesky due to the positive engagement and science-based discussions - loving it here!!

Yoon Kim is outlining the path forward for LLMs. He argues that due to their inefficiencies with long sequences, and difficulty with state tracking. Transformers will be replaced by new dynamic-compute and inference-optimized architectures.
