Meta adia chegada de sua IA mais potente, o Behemoth
Previsto inicialmente para abril e depois junho, maior modelo da Meta segue sendo adiado internamente, com poucos avanços e alto custo de desenvolvimento.

<p>A Meta teria acionado o sinal de alerta após adiar, de novo, o lançamento de seu mais potente modelo de IA até agora, conhecido como Behemoth (Gigante, na tradução para português).

Zen Flute Is A Teensy Powered Mouth Theramin
An intriguing mouth-played instrument emerged—and won—at the 2023 Guthman Musical Instrument Contest hosted by Georgia Tech. [Keith Baxter] took notice and reproduced the idea for others to explore. The result is the Zen Flute Mouth Theremin, a hybrid of acoustics, electronics, and expressive performance.At its core lies a forced Helmholtz resonator, a feedback system built with a simple microphone and speaker setup. The resonator itself? The user’s mouth. The resulting pitch, shaped by subtle jaw and tongue movements, is detected and used to drive a MIDI controller feeding an external synthesizer.

Enjoy various scenes around Arashiyama, the area of Kyōto with the most nature and traditional Japanese architecture: 1) The legendary Moon-Crossing Bridge (渡月橋), 2) Yaezakura (八重桜), a late-blossoming type of sakura with many petals, 3) Traditional architecture deep in a mountain canyon, and 4) The little-known lookout over the river and gorgeous gorge.

The unique Buddhist temple Otagi Nembutsuji (愛宕念仏寺) deep in a canyon in northwest Arashiyama in Kyōto has had a long and complicated history, but its distinctiveness today stems from the 20th Century when a head priest commissioned the carving of over a thousand stone rakan (羅漢, based on arhats, adept disciples of the Buddha). Each statue is unique, unlike the stereotype of Asians, and some are really funny. The moss in this shady side of the mountain also adds to their character, sometimes like hair.

Almost done with Chihiro!
A bit conflicted, because this sprite is the only one of the three that doesn't just have a white face (plus blushing cheeks!) so I don't know if I should turn it white too for consistency or use the only colour I have that's even close to skin colour, which I will also be using on Miu's hair...
I think I'll leave it like this for now and start on Miu, then get back to it once my new floss arrives, in case any of those colours fit better.

#Trump said Friday that former #FBI Director #JamesComey was “calling for the assassination of the president” in a since-deleted social media post that featured the numbers “8647.”
The numbers were quickly read by people in Trump’s cult as Comey calling for people to “86,” or get rid of, the 47th president of the United States — Trump.

Trump says Comey called for 'assassination of the president' with '8647' Instagram post
President Donald Trump fired James Comey as FBI director in 2017 amid an investigation by the bureau into Trump campaign ties to Russia.Dan Mangan (CNBC)
BTWs this was the post. So threatening! #Trump is a weakling.
#SecretService spokesman Anthony Guglielmi, in a statement, said, “The Secret Service vigorously investigates anything that can be taken as a potential threat against our protectees.”
“We are aware of the social media posts by the former FBI Director [#JamesComey] & we take rhetoric like this very seriously,” Guglielmi said.
#FreeSpeech #FirstAmendment #law #RevengePolitics #DHS #DOJ #WeaponizationOfGovernment #StochasticTerrorism
#FreeSpeech advocacy group Foundation for Individual Rights & Expression in a stmnt said #JamesComey’s post “is political speech protected by the #FirstAmendment.”
“It neither constitutes a true threat nor merits federal investigation. 86 has a lot of possible meanings, & the idea that spelling it out in seashells & posting it to IG is a true threat is quite a stretch. The admin should drop any investigation of Comey because it’s an unconstitutional waste of time.”
