Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space. — The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy When we say "space is big", it's partly meant as a correction to images like this: Wikimedia source. where, for simplicity, celestial objects are shown in unrealistically close proximity—like Jupiter is just down the hall from Mars. As we all know, the planets of the solar system are actually really far apart, even relative to their huge size. In Sweden's 1:20,000,000 to-scale solar system model , Earth and Venus are just ~2 feet in diameter, yet over a mile apart. In other terms, they're several thousand "Earth-widths" apart: Horizontal distance not to scale, wouldn't fit on screen. And we all know that's just the start of it: the stars are incredibly far apart. Finland also has a to-scale model of the solar system, but it's 150x more condensed than Sweden's at 1:3,000,000,000 . [1] Its model of our sun, Sol, is just ~1.5 feet in diameter. Its model of the nearest star, Proxima Centauri, is in Australia . [2] Horizontal distance obviously not to scale. That's even crazier than Earth-Venus, especially considering a "Sun-width" is ~865,000 miles. So if we keep going bigger, what happens then? What about galaxies? That image is to scale. If the Milky Way were a typical US suburban home, Andromeda would be a McMansion 3 blocks down the road. [3] And while…
Days before what could be the largest IPO in history, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called buying compute 'the deepest business dilemma' his company faces. Anthropic's commitments now total nearly $901 billion, and it's still far from clear whether future revenue will justify those costs. The planned IPO is largely meant to serve as a financial buffer against that uncertainty. The article Anthropic CEO Amodei admits "there's a huge uncertainty in what's going to happen next year" days before a record IPO appeared first on The Decoder .
Andrew McLachlan says he chooses ‘real forests over virtual ones’ as he urges Labor government to consider AI’s impact on artists and environment Get our daily political email , free app or daily news podcast The outspoken Liberal senator Andrew McLachlan has raised the alarm about the approach of his party and the Labor government to AI, saying artists’ copyright must not be “sacrificed” for investment and building new datacentres must not be prioritised above environmental concerns. As Labor considers copyright changes in an AI policy suite including datacentres, online safety, energy resources and economic benefits, the South Australian backbencher added weight to mooted constitutional challenges as to whether watering down copyright law would be an illegal acquisition of property .

Release: datasette-vega 0.7 A new release of Datasette's longest untouched plugin, for rendering charts (using Vega-Lite ) against data in a table or custom query. The last release was in July 2018!

(Datasette Lite just gained the ability to run JavaScript plugins like this! I'll write more about that soon.) Since it works with Datasette Lite, the live demo in the README now links to this demo on Datasette Lite . Tags: datasette , visualisation , datasette-lite
