Physicists made a breakthrough several years ago when they thought about spacetime itself as a quantum phenomenon. Like particles or any other quantum object, quantum spacetime would not have a fixed, certain geometry—instead it would exist as a combination of different geometries, each with their own probability. Though the most likely shapes would mimic the classical picture of a black hole, some of the outlier probabilities would look much different. In some cases, the insides of black holes would even form wormholes connecting to other black holes. Factoring in the wormholes revealed that, in effect, a region of spacetime within a black hole called an island in some ways exists outside of the hole altogether. And information seems to find a path through such wormholes.

However, Anthropic is telling people it spent $1.5 billion on just training when it has an Amazon Web Services bill of $1.35 billion, which heavily suggests that its actual compute costs are significantly higher than we thought, because, to quote SemiAnalysis, “a large share of Anthropic’s spending is going to Google Cloud.”

Anthropic has, based on what I can find, raised $32 billion in the last two years, starting out 2023 with a $4 billion investment from Amazon from September 2023 (bringing the total to $37.5 billion), where Amazon was named its “primary cloud provider” nearly eight months after Anthropic announced Google was Anthropic’s “cloud provider.,” which Google responded to a month later by investing another $2 billion on October 27 2023, “involving a $500 million upfront investment and an additional $1.5 billion to be invested over time,” bringing its total funding from 2023 to $6 billion.

Since the 1980's, Sweden has been one of the countries in the world with the most metal bands per capita. I don't think metal music is more popular in Sweden than in other countries, rather the phenomenon probably has something to do with our social structure. Since Sweden is a wealthy country (it used to be, anyway), everybody who ever wanted to play in a band is able to do so. Instruments and rehearsal rooms have historically been provided by the municipalities to a large extent, and in certain places you could actually even get paid by certain associations to rehearse and make recordings. Many cities in Sweden still have large buildings with rehearsal rooms that you can rent for practically nothing.

Two centuries ago, in 1825, the French state imposed a tribute on Haiti to compensate slave owners for their loss of property. This debt, which the fragile Haitian state had to struggle to repay until the 1950s, heavily crippled the country’s development, and it is, today, one of the poorest in the world. All the regimes France has experienced during this period – monarchies, empires and republics – continued to collect these sums, which were paid to the Caisse des Dépôts bank in due form. All of these facts are well-documented and are contested by no one.

There, gold nuclei racing along a 2.4-mile loop reach mind-boggling speeds before they bang together and disintegrate into quark-gluon plasma. Each primordial cloud lasts for only a split second, churning out many particles as it cools, including photons (particles of light) that decay into pairs of electrons and their antimatter counterparts, positrons.
