🚨BREAKING: TRUMP ON ANTHROPIC
REPORTER: Do you view Anthropic and to a degree its CEO, Dario Amodei, as a threat to national security?
TRUMP: "Well, not now, but a week ago, maybe. I was with him yesterday, he made a speech... seemed like a nice guy, smart guy. But he responded to us very quickly, because you know it's a tremendous liability… he responded very responsibly, I thought."
REPORTER: Would you consider using the Defense Production Act to possibly regulate or control AI?
TRUMP: "I would, but, I'm not sure I have to do that. I think so far it's been very responsible. Actually, it was a competitor, and a part-owner, that turned Anthropic in…"
Imagine being able to make stone translucent.
Giovanni Strazza possessed that extraordinarily rare skill. His bust of the Virgin Mary, executed in flawless Carrara marble, is one of the most impressive feats by any sculptor.
Strazza's "wet drapery" technique continued the legacy of previous Italian sculptors like Giuseppe Sanmartino, who produced mind-bending veils from marble a century earlier — the famous "Veiled Christ" is a canonical example.
The tradition also dates back to much earlier sculptors known for carving intricate folds, in particular Renaissance artists like Michelangelo and ancient masters from Greece's Hellenistic period.
But in the mid-19th century, Strazza took the technique to its extreme. The subtle layered effect he achieved allows the viewer to easily discern Mary's facial features from the delicate veil, and at the same time creates the illusion of total weightlessness.
How he created something so soft and fluid from solid stone, using only basic hand tools, is a mystery.
Kedilerin, erkekleri anlayamadığı öğrenildi.
Yapılan bilimsel çalışma, evcil kedilerin erkek sahipleriyle iletişim kurarken daha fazla çaba gösterdiğini ortaya koydu.
Buna göre, kediler erkek bakıcılarla selamlaşırken daha sık miyavlıyor, daha uzun sesli tepkiler veriyor ve iletişimi sürdürebilmek için daha aktif davranıyor.
Araştırmacılara göre bunun temel nedeni, erkeklerin kedilerle genellikle daha az sözel etkileşim kurması olabilir.
Bu sebeple kediler kadınlara karşı çok daha rahat ve kendiliğinden bir iletişim sergilerken, erkeklerle anlaşabilmek için adeta ekstra bir iletişim çabası içine giriyor. (Ethology)
