Watch: The competition's former winner and runners up. Nikon disqualified the winning video (shown left).

The firm said the video "did not comply with the competition rules regarding generative AI", but added it was not a judgement of the entrant's professional reputation or scientific contributions. It said it would now look at the rules and procedures of the

Police said the main trade union rally went ahead peacefully but “groups of

Hitler Mussolini Simeon Flores was the candidate for left-wing Ahora Nación A man named Hitler Mussolini Simeon Flores has secured a narrow victory in Peru's local elections, exit polls show. The candidate for the centre-left Ahora Nación party was elected mayor of Queropalca, a remote district in the Peruvian Andes. Some 229 residents voted for the 45-year-old, putting him ahead of the second-place candidate from right-wing Renovación Popular Perú by just 25 votes. Despite being elected to represent fewer than 1,000 people, his forenames being those of two notorious fascist dictators has drawn outsized international attention to the small corner of the country.

A ‘super’ new euphemism probably isn’t enough to make Americans forget their concerns about AI. President Donald Trump has a knack for turning words against his enemies. His first successful presidential run was built on monikers like “Little Marco” and “Crooked Hillary”; he changed “fake news” from a phrase describing scammy media outlets to a derogatory term for the press at large. A longtime AI booster, Trump has gone into pro-robot overdrive since an industry conversation over “pacing” frontier development last month. His current position is that AI safety risks are overblown and US companies need to speed up development, including by building more data centers, which he insists

I use Claude/codex subscription for most coding tasks, but I experiment a lot with models I can run locally via ollama, and also been building my own local classifier models which run and train on CPU (they can classify text, but also play doom): https://github.com/nicobrenner/jeffy reply bravetraveler 9 hours ago | prev | next [–] Open models exclusively on hardware I own... despite my employer both demanding 'the frontier' and providing unlimited spend/quota.

For years, we’ve been working to make building server software simpler. We questioned how modules could be distributed, what security guarantees a JavaScript runtime could provide, what belonged in a complete toolchain, and how easily an application could be distributed as a standalone executable. Compatibility with Node.js became an important part of that work too: our users wanted the Deno improvements while continuing to plug into the existing JS ecosystem. Today we’re announcing that the entire Deno team is joining Cloudflare to take that work further. Our ambition has always extended beyond the runtime. I wrote about this in my JavaScript Containers blog post: compute, storage, and
