I'm doing a limited $49 lifetime deal for Siren Affiliates
at launch. My email list will get early access, and expect it to sell out before I actually launch.
If you're not on the list now, change that. I'm never going to offer a deal this good again.
I didn't come up with Siren Affiliates overnight. It represents years of experience, both as a developer and a user of Affiliate programs.
Siren's unique affiliate program building capabilities makes it possible for your affiliates (and any other partner) to work together in ways that are simply not possible on other platforms.
Huh, the new Bears proposal for a stadium is... wildly different than I expected :otter_peek: I really like what the renders did with the old Soldier Field columns (and frankly, the UFO they landed inside of it was always a massively ugly waste of money). I feel mostly ambivalent on the proposal I think, provided taxpayers aren't on the hook for it.
If this proposal actually happens, civic leaders from the south side really should lobby hard for the CTA to revisit the Gold Line proposal to take part of the existing Metra electric right-of-way and turn it into a rapid transit corridor. If the city really wants to revitalize the lakefront and drive tourism, they should focus on increasing access between the lakefront parks (the stupid bean/Millennium Park, Grant Park, etc), the Museum Campus (the Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, Planetarium, Soldier Field), McCormick Place, and Jackson Park (the Museum of Science and Industry and the new Barack Obama Presidential Library). Plus the Gold Line could be used to bring a valuable link for south lake shore communities between the Loop all the way down to South Chicago. :vg_puro_shrug: Seems like a win/win to me.
Side note: Also, boost the Green Line back to Jackson Park like it used to be :neofox_what: It'd make for a great transfer point for people between the Gold Line and the Green Line.
Confession: This is my first bowl of grits. Amazing and creamy and you don't want the bowl to end. If you are ever at the Montrose Brown Line, go to Spoken Cafe right under the CTA and order the Acadian Grits. And the coffee is half priced if you get a mug!
I'd been planning to make time to finally check off the last CTA L line from my personal list back in early November. Let's go. #Chicago#cta#ctayellowline
Are you sure that you want to power your astronomical telescopes with electricity that has such high carbon intensity? #ORM#GTC#CTA#LaPalma#ClimateEmergency
🌐 Did you know that Europe is home to 3 of the world's top 5 supercomputers?
And guess what? They're about to become accessible to AI start-ups!
Their use already brings new opportunities to:
🔸 improve quality of life of Europeans,
🔸 advance science,
🔸 boost industrial competitiveness,
🔸 ensure Europe’s technological autonomy, and
🔸 help SMEs develop.
Thanks to our investment in the last years, Europe has now become a leader in supercomputing!
@isazi right, thanks, I am just curious who currently uses them.
E.g. I work with #CSCS in #Lugano and major notable customers are #meteosuisse , #WLCG (#particlephysics). I specifically work for #CTA and #SKA astronomical observatories, but their use is not yet substantial.
There any many others too, I am not totally sure about relative use. E.g. #climate modelling is of course a very interesting case
I'm so confused when people try to get me to invest in their generative AI company. Like, the entire concept of generative AI does not work on the most basic fundamental level. The whole appeal is that it's cheaper than paying an actual human to do it. But, to even be mediocre at any given task the model must be train on millions of data points from people who are actually good at said task. It works (temporarily) because the internet has been free and open for all of its existence, providing these companies with infinite training data at zero cost. But why would researchers and creators continue publishing their work on the open internet under a licensing model that allows someone else to profit while directly undermining their career? ChatGPT has already started to degrade as a result of being given internet access. What do we think happens when all the high quality data points start getting paywalled or licensed out of reach?
