There were already two new gravitational-wave candidates today – so far.

S250830m, if real, most likely came from a merger of two black holes 12 billion light-years away.

S250830bp, if real, came either from a merger of two black holes (84% probability) or from a merger of a black hole with a neutron star (16% probability). The distance is “only” 1.4 billion light-years. The sky position could be determined quite accurately (to within 10.5 square degrees).

I really dont understand how people can be so heartless and live their lives without empathy and compassion for others, when every single day, whether one realizes it or not, we all need help in some way every day, and some of us need lots of help, and sooner or later we all need lots of help, yet so many, most go everyday willfully ignoring the pleas for help from those in need.

This #disabled man existing in #poverty still needs $1480 This month, please help today, Lets See If We Can Come Together And Raise At Least $500 Right Now, It wont take care of everything but it will be a big help, I need to pay rent and buy #food yet this month, your prompt and compassionate support will be greatly appreciated, $5-10-15 It All Helps, via #cashapp at $woctxphotog or via #paypal at Donate Now Thank You

Dopo il suo ritorno alla Casa Bianca, lo spazio più rappresentativo di Washington ha subìto una trasformazione che dire pacchiana è poco: tra dorature, bandiere extra e un tocco in stile pseudo-Versailles, l’ufficio presidenziale somiglia sempre più a un covo dei Casamonica.🤦‍♂️

Lo Studio Ovale di Trump è l'emblema del kitsch, tra oro, cherubini e arredamento in stile Temu

Il presidente ha riportato a Washington la sua estetica dorata: tra ritratti, troni e orpelli, lo Studio Ovale non è mai stato così luccicante e trash

Meghan Trainor beglückte die Welt 2014 mit „All About That Bass“. Ich komme euch mit „All About The Feed“. Und ihr freut euch darüber sicher. Tut ihr doch, oder? ODER? Nein, ich bringe nicht die drölfzigtausendste Auflistung, was ein Feed ist. Ich nehme mal wieder an den #BlogWochen2025 teil. Und da geht es nun einmal diesmal darum, dass die Feeds halt nun mal wichtiger sind, als viele denken. Es gibt ja auch jede Menge Blogger, die denken, dass der gute alte RSS-Feed sowas von letzte Saison ist. Ist er das?

Dieser Beitrag ist Teil der BlogWochen 2025. Sie werden von Robert, Benedikt und Dirk veranstaltet.

Is the Bo M2 Electric Scooter Worth the Hype (and the $2,490)?

Premium electric scooters are reshaping urban transportation, but few command attention quite like the Bo M2.

Nur mal so als Hinweis an die Personen, die den Ausbau der Autobahnen im Bereich #Frankfurt und umzu als die Lösung aller Verkehrsprobleme im Rhein-Main-Gebiet betrachten:

Zwei Tage nach Eröffnung des neuen A100-Abschnitts in #Berlin musste dieser wegen zu hoher Verkehrsbelastung kurzzeitig gesperrt werden.

Zwei Tage nach Eröffnung: Neuer A100-Abschnitt wegen zu hoher Verkehrsbelastung kurzzeitig gesperrt

Erst am Mittwoch wurde der 16. Bauabschnitt der Stadtautobahn A100 eröffnet. Am Freitagnachmittag bildet sich ein Stau, es folgt eine Sperrung der Autobahn.

"In the end then, the silence of the AI Ethics movement towards its burgeoning use in the military is unsurprising. The movement doesn’t say anything controversial to Washington (including the military industrial complex), because that’s a source of money, as well as an invaluable stamp of importance. It’s fine—even encouraged—to make veiled digs at China, Russia or North Korea, at the “bad actors” it sometimes refers to, but otherwise the industry avoids anything “political.” It also mostly frames the issues as centered on LLMs, because it wants to paint the tech products of its leaders as pivotally important in all respects. This then makes it a bit awkward to bring in military applications because it’s pretty obvious that LLMs have little current military value.

I personally came to AI research nearly ten years ago, from a deep curiosity about the nature of the mind and the self. At that time it was still a somewhat fringe subject, and as the field exploded into public awareness, I’ve been horrified to watch it intertwine with the most powerful and destructive systems on the planet, including the military-industrial complex, and, potentially, the outbreak of the next major global conflicts. To find the right way forward, we need to think much more deeply about where we’re going and what our values are. We need an authentic AI Ethics movement that questions the forces and assumptions shaping current development, rather than imbibing the views passed down from a few, often misguided, leaders."
