How the... the word "impressive" made it in this phase of the abstract: "Experimental results show that Kosmos-1 achieves impressive performance on"? Is this meant to be science or sports commentary?

Microsoft's new Kosmos-1 is incredible.

It's a new Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM).

Their model can understand images, text, images with text, OCR, image captioning, visual QA.

It can even solve IQ tests.

The Jewish Supremacist regime carried out a pogrom in the villages around Nablus yesterday. This isn't “loss of control”. This is exactly what Israeli control looks like. The settlers carry out the attack, the military secures it, the politicians back it. It’s a synergy. >

I'm sharing just this, but the whole thread is just flabbergasting... I did have to look up the word to make sure it denotes what I mean

It's worth mentioning, computational models of facial beauty seems to be quite a thing in Hong Kong, China, and Korea (though that might just be the rabbit holes that I got lost in a few years ago). It's pretty wild.

The EU required companies to disclose their owners, helping reveal countless cases of corruption — but a Luxembourg businessman filed a lawsuit that overturned the rule.

We investigated who he is — and why he might have an interest in corporate secrecy. https://www.occrp.org/en/beneficial-ownership-data-is-critical-in-the-fight-against-corruption/this-luxembourg-businessman-got-europes-corporate-registries-shut-down-but-whose-privacy-was-he-protecting#story--https-cdn-occrp-org-projects-zipper-flourish-en-story-1824743-index-html-slide-0

In 1912 Popular Mechanics wrote:

The furnaces of the world are now burning 2 billion tons of coal a year. When this is burned.. it adds about 7 billion tons of CO2 to the atmosphere..

This tends to make the air a more effective blanket for the earth and raise its temperature.
