From a friend: Berkeley, California's "Nuclear Free Zone" signs are now covered in pronuclear stickers.
Only thing old Berkeley environmentalists hate more than housing and bike lanes is nuclear energy.
The city can't or won't replace the signs. I didn't do this but wish I had.
It's here–the deepest, sharpest infrared view of the universe to date: Webb's First Deep Field.

If you truly want to “bank the unbanked”, look to what UPI did in India, Pix in Brazil, M-Pesa in Africa - all in a few short years.
Cool thread detailing some of the new carbon removal approaches we're funding. The scientific frontier is rapidly advancing, and the emissions reduction + carbon removal combo will be surprisingly effective.
Frontier has facilitated its first carbon removal purchases on behalf of Stripe and the tens of thousands of companies using Stripe Climate. We’re spending $8M on removal from six new suppliers and we’ll be the first customer for each of them. https://frontierclimate.com/writing/spring-2022-purchases…
For all the kvtching about how Americans don't travel: ~73% of Americans have traveled outside the US, but only ~44% of Europeans have traveled outside the EU.
So somewhere between 3B and 20B #parti models acquire the ability to spell. Cross-checking with model that can't seem to spell (#dalle2) and that can (#imagen):
Imagen: 4.6B text enc + 2B text-to-image + 1B super-res
DALL-E 2: 250M (?) text enc + 600M image enc + 3.5B dec
#Parti paper has some really interesting results where they show the improvements in image quality as the number of model parameters is scaled up from 350M to 20B.
You see visible quality enhancement for the hipster kangaroo, and accurate text rendering!
