Oracle is going to use debt to finance the buildout of AI cloud infrastructure to meet their obligations to customers. They’re the first hyperscaler to do so. Made the news two weeks ago.
An alternate hypothesis which seems equally interesting, albeit for different reasons, is at the end of the article:
> Another explanation for why the JWST may have seen an overrepresentation of galaxies rotating in one direction is that the Milky Way's own rotation could have caused it.
> Previously, scientists had considered the speed of our galaxy's rotation to be too slow to have a non-negligible impact on observations made by the JWST.
> “If that is indeed the case, we will need to re-calibrate our distance measurements for the deep universe," Shamir concluded. "The re-calibration of distance measurements can also explain several other unsolved questions in cosmology such as the differences in the expansion rates of the universe and the large galaxies that according to the existing distance measurements are expected to be older than the universe itself."
The hospital system near my hometown just announced they are filing for bankruptcy. The parent company that bought it, which itself is owned by private equity, extracted nearly a billion dollars in profit from hospitals before going bankrupt, according to local reporting. I don’t know what the solution is, but PE is a parasitic blight on society.
It looks like the recall will be addressed with a software update, which will probably limit autopilot to highway use only. That seems like a reasonable step, in line with Autopilot’s intended use.
The General Services Administration is the U.S. government agency that maintains login.gov, the public’s single sign-on for government. GSA is conducting an equity study on remote identity proofing to find whether methods like facial recognition work equitably for a diverse set of users. If you’d like to help make technology access more equitable, consider participating or sharing the study. Thanks HN!
A shame they didn’t opt for Public Sans, which was designed by the US Web Design System team. Though I see it only supports Latin characters at the moment, which might make it unsuitable for use at State.
