All I want for Christmas is collapse
Finally, NVIDIA's AI GPU sales are quietly collapsing, with the majority - 61% in its latest quarter - of revenue coming from four customers. Over the last 3 quarters, smaller customer revenue has collapsed from $25.89bn to $12.9bn.

I remember during the Covid pandemic walking a strongly anti-vax member of my congregation through our cemetery pointing out how the number of children’s graves plummeted after the 1950’s. Why? Widespread vaccination programs.
Just read more antivaxxer garbage about replacing vaccines with healthy food and exercise to boost immune systems while more babies die of measles.
Vaccinating widely is how we protect Littles too young for vaccines - no exercise will protect them.
WTF with these people

The media needs to stop writing headlines like “The CDC changes course on vaccines and autism” and “The CDC defends measles response”.
NONE of this is coming from legitimate scientists at the CDC.
ALL of it is coming from RFK Jr.

How much of the observed global warming was caused by humans? Science's best estimate: ALL OF IT
To be clear: the new, near-exclusive emphasis on natural causes of climate change on the U.S. EPA's website is now completely out of synch with all available evidence demonstrating overwhelming human influence on contemporary warming trends.

this is similar to what I've come to think of as the "reverse turing test"
when people find synthetic text is "good enough" to complete a task (homework, business report, email) it doesn't mean the machine is smart. it means they were asked to produce something that didn't matter
it's diagnostic

So similarly, when we see people who prefer ChatGPT or a similar synthetic text extruding machine as a source of medical information, that means those are people who are under-served in the current system.
