[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

You voted against scrapping zero hour contracts.

You voted against banning fire and rehire.

You voted against day one sick pay for workers.

You said the minimum wage was too high for young people.

Reform politicians openly say they don't like trade unions.

You will always put the interests of your offshore crypto billionaire donors ahead of workers.

@PolitlcsUK If they just reimburse you for the fuel you pay for it's currently recommended 15p for petrol 13p for diesel, is that shifting to 25p and 23p respectively?

@AspersionCaster No no, I'm perfectly freaking average and because my partners wasn't seated correctly i felt it. You will NEVER be able to forget your thing being in the happiest place in the world and feeling sharp metal and pain where there REALLY shouldn't be.

@buddiecanon118 Tbf the books do a far better job of showing that she effectively has permission from world governments to do as she pleases to organise project hail Mary so when she says X now has Y it's not shodily done it's that she has ABSOLUTE authority to do whatever is needed

@ForzaHorizon Please tell me there's a big multi story carpark we can drift around somewhere on this map?

[christopher mannix @cjmannix]

@ForzaHorizon I swear if you don't have Tokyo drift by the teriyaki boys on this soundtrack someone needs sacking

85% of Reform UK voters think London is unsafe. 63% of people who actually live here say it is safe. That gap was created deliberately. The dystopia is a lie.

@NVIDIAGeForce Keep your AI art out of my gd games you soulless ghouls

@stikves But bud all those sales came from the good will people had because of the studios past incredible work. It was a day one purchase for me. The. When it lacked that "there's a new map marker to be found over that hill" synonymous with their previous games it broke hearts.

There is only one nuclear armed state in the Middle East. It is Israel.

The math on this project should mass-humble every AI lab on the planet.

1 cubic millimeter. One-millionth of a human brain. Harvard and Google spent 10 years mapping it. The imaging alone took 326 days. They sliced the tissue into 5,000 wafers each 30 nanometers thick, ran them through a $6 million electron microscope, then needed Google’s ML models to stitch the 3D reconstruction because no human team could process the output.

The result: 57,000 cells, 150 million synapses, 230 millimeters of blood vessels, compressed into 1.4 petabytes of raw data. For context, 1.4 petabytes is roughly 1.4 million gigabytes. From a speck smaller than a grain of rice.

Now scale that. The full human brain is one million times larger. Mapping the whole thing at this resolution would produce approximately 1.4 zettabytes of data. That’s roughly equal to all the data generated on Earth in a single year. The storage alone would cost an estimated $50 billion and require a 140-acre data center, which would make it the largest on the planet.

And they found things textbooks don’t contain. One neuron had over 5,000 connection points. Some axons had coiled themselves into tight whorls for completely unknown reasons. Pairs of cell clusters grew in mirror images of each other. Jeff Lichtman, the Harvard lead, said there’s “a chasm between what we already know and what we need to know.”

This is why the next step isn’t a human brain. It’s a mouse hippocampus, 10 cubic millimeters, over the next five years. Because even a mouse brain is 1,000x larger than what they just mapped, and the full mouse connectome is the proof of concept before anyone attempts the human one.

We’re building AI systems that loosely mimic neural networks while still unable to fully read the wiring diagram of a single cubic millimeter of the thing we’re trying to imitate. The original is 1.4 petabytes per millionth of its volume. Every AI model on Earth fits in a fraction of that.

The brain runs on 20 watts and fits in your skull. The data center required to merely describe one-millionth of it would span 140 acres.

@nikgeneburn Bud, sell it as it's own product at this point.
There's a market for people who like the feel but just hate other people's shenanigans. It might not sit with the ArTiStIc ViSiOn but it's a product n there's a player base who just wants that. Take their money or someone else will

@Onepeg To be fair this is the most miserable plate iv seen in forever nnim from the UK. This is the OPPOSITE of standard

@Onepeg I somehow had just over a million in the stash myself as a casual, even I was surprised lol
