What a Mess

Alert: We are all running out of water.
The aquifers we rely upon are being pumped dry. Search running out of water and you might be surprised what your find..

Nearly 6 billion people live in the 101 countries that a new study has identified as confronting a net decline in water supply — signaling enormous challenges for food production and a heightening risk of conflict and instability.

The first rule of survival: Never shelter in place.
It sounds safe, but it’s a trap. When you stop moving, your resources start running out — food, water, time. Mobility gives you options. Movement gives you power. That’s how real operators survive when the world shuts down.

“When Jenson Huang [Nvidia’s founder] told me about developing this high-level chip I said ‘if you do that, this computer will be at the heart of every supercomputer in the world’. And he did it,” recalled Chu.

Anna Chennault: ‘Steel butterfly’ who charmed US and China

Impressively sanguine about his lost wealth, Chu’s main takeaway from Nvidia is not his own misfortune. Instead, he worries that this American success story – co-created by a Taiwanese-born Stanford graduate, employing foreign-born engineering talent – might not have been able to happen today given the double whammy faced by US academia: massive cuts to federal science budgets and an immigration crackdown deterring many students, particularly from China, from applying to the US.

— where is the [additional] “good” training data for LLMs going to come from;
— I’ll ask: where’sit coming from now? As far as I can tell, all these companies are vacuuming up everything that isn’t nailed down without any regard for its provenance or quality; there’s no curation. As a result, propaganda, misinformation, disinformation, retracted papers, discredited analyses, conspiracy theories, etc. are as much a part of the input data as literarymasterpieces and scholarly research.

RFK Jr & his HHS has declared thimerosal dangerous. It’s not.
The result? US will no longer recommend vaccines with thimerosal (a safe preservative).
This lie, now policy, will ripple around the world, destroying vaccine trust, access, & uptake.

“The total value of all the Bitcoin that exists is circa $2 trillion & the total asset base globally is $1,000 trillion. So it’s 0.2 % of everything that currently exists… by buying Bitcoin, I’m owning this share of everything FOREVER.” – @satmojoe

$69-75K $BTC is where consensus believes the Floor is. This is most likely because the newly created downside channel on the chart intersects with the Bull channel started after FTX’s collapse in this range, which is also the last range where BTC had significant trading volume. Because of this, Retail Shorts will probably look to exit positions in this range, and retail longs have this range as a target entry point

@Bitfinexed
Don’t worry guys there’s no way bitcoin prices can fall below 78,000. It has been programmed.
