Crabs, lobsters, cephalopods, insects, starfish, worms — billions upon billions of them are bred, captured, and killed in the name of science without a second thought.
Estou aqui num turismo rural no Alentejo e perguntei a um jardineiro que ia a passar que planta era esta. A resposta dele foi "Oh, então isso é um arbusto." Como quem diz, "parece que é parvo. Esta gente vem lá da cidade e nem sabe o que é um arbusto".
Possivelmente é um Espinheiro ardente (Pyracantha coccinea M.Roem.) ou uma Sarça-ardente-do-nepal (Pyracantha crenulata (D.Don) M.Roem.)

I have been without anything accessible to ride for transportation since early this year. I am disabled & cannot walk far. Cycling hurts less & helps me go much farther, plus it gives me transportation independence!
You can help by buying my music TODAY #BandcampFriday, when Bandcamp waives its usual % on every sale I make.
It's my bday this month & being able to ride again would be 🥳

Apertus:La IA #opensource che punta su trasparenza e privacy per il bene pubblico.
La #svizzera ha lanciato #Apertus un modello linguistico di grandi dimensioni completamente open-source, sviluppato da istituzioni pubbliche come il Politecnico Federale di Losanna, il Politecnico Federale di Zurigo e il Centro Svizzero di Calcolo Scientifico. "Apertus" vuol dire: dal latino aperto, e sta a indicare la trasparenza, il rispetto della privacy.

""If you're not the leading expert in the field, I think the progress has been such that you probably won't even notice the improvements from now on," says Frey.
Last year, the big topic was whether AI labs were seeing diminishing returns when simply trying to throw more data and compute power at the models. That may go some way to explain how GPT-5 landed, but it's not the only factor.
Between the launch of GPT-4 in March 2023 and GPT-5 last month, OpenAI rolled out well over a dozen models, each one focusing on specific jobs or incrementally improving another. It's perhaps no wonder, then, that GPT-5 didn't blow our socks off. (In the same conversation in which Altman claimed AI is in a bubble, he also claimed that OpenAI has more advanced models than GPT-5, but can't deploy them because it doesn't have the capacity.)
Google's latest frontier model, Gemini 2.5, is also a bridge model, and the launch of GPT-5 may serve as a healthy warning to temper expectations for Gemini 3, which is expected before the year's end.
"The progress just feels more continuous," says David Krueger, an assistant professor at the University of Montreal who studies AI safety and risks.
Krueger still thinks we'll have the occasional "wow" moment, but said he also believes we'll need more breakthroughs on the technical side to reach any level of artificial intelligence that can go toe-to-toe with a human — and he says he doesn't believe we will reach AGI from large language models alone.
"I think LLMs and more broadly deep learning are probably a big piece of the puzzle. If I had to bet, the biggest one," he says. "But I think we're maybe missing a couple of puzzle pieces.""
