Their model can understand images, text, images with text, OCR, image captioning, visual QA.
It can even solve IQ tests.

Happening now: Israeli settlers are burning Palestinian houses, cars and shops in Huwarra near Nablus , Palestinians has no protections.

The Jewish Supremacist regime carried out a pogrom in the villages around Nablus yesterday. This isn't “loss of control”. This is exactly what Israeli control looks like. The settlers carry out the attack, the military secures it, the politicians back it. It’s a synergy. >

Watch the video, Israeli settlers are burning Palestinian houses, cars. Trees and shops in Huwara village near Nablus, the Israeli settlers are escorted by the Israeli army.
Palestinian has no protections.
I'm sharing just this, but the whole thread is just flabbergasting... I did have to look up the word to make sure it denotes what I mean

It's worth mentioning, computational models of facial beauty seems to be quite a thing in Hong Kong, China, and Korea (though that might just be the rabbit holes that I got lost in a few years ago). It's pretty wild.

The EU required companies to disclose their owners, helping reveal countless cases of corruption — but a Luxembourg businessman filed a lawsuit that overturned the rule.
We investigated who he is — and why he might have an interest in corporate secrecy. https://www.occrp.org/en/beneficial-ownership-data-is-critical-in-the-fight-against-corruption/this-luxembourg-businessman-got-europes-corporate-registries-shut-down-but-whose-privacy-was-he-protecting#story--https-cdn-occrp-org-projects-zipper-flourish-en-story-1824743-index-html-slide-0

In 1912 Popular Mechanics wrote:
The furnaces of the world are now burning 2 billion tons of coal a year. When this is burned.. it adds about 7 billion tons of CO2 to the atmosphere..
This tends to make the air a more effective blanket for the earth and raise its temperature.

Let me be very clear about this:
The environmentalists were NOT the reason #nuclear power stalled in the 1980s.
There is absolutely no support for a theory, popular in some circles, that we could've been fossil free "if not for the Greens." 1/

I never had a source assaulted in front of me until today when an Israeli soldier who stopped my interview did this with a Palestinian peace activist Issa Amro in Hebron. I can't stop thinking how dehumanizing the occupation is on the young soldiers charged with enforcing it.

In the 1970s, archaeologists in Bulgaria unearthed a vast Copper Age necropolis from the 5th millennium BCE. Inside burial 43 they found the remains of a high status male with more gold than it was found in the entire rest of the world in that period: https://buff.ly/3NU5fhB

I've long used the Ireland/UK history as a metaphor explaining Ukraine/Russia recent history. (A longer history requires using India/UK as a metaphor - Ukraine has a far longer history than Russia.) Here is a good help for those who has to explain what is Ukraine to Russia...
