This is censorship in action. The FCC chair threatens ABC and Disney over Kimmel’s comments. Hours later, he’s off air. It’s dangerous and unconstitutional.

The message to every media company is clear: Adopt the MAGA line or the Federal Censorship Commission will come after you.

typical Swiss ingenuity. no doubt helped by the fact that Switzerland is not dominated by fossil fuel companies.
Switzerland is using its railway infrastructure to generate power by installing solar panels between train tracks. Transport and energy generation can work together.

"OpenAI's GPT-4o, for example, had a failure rate of 91.4 percent, while Meta's Llama-3.1-405b had a failure rate of 92.6 percent. Amazon's Nova-Pro-v1 failed a ludicrous 98.3 percent of its office tasks."
