We pointed LGND's earth-embedding search at 17 years of Spain's aerial survey and watched Madrid's astroturf boom unfold; at least 257 pitches built or resurfaced since 2006, each with before/after imagery. Spain now holds both World Cups. The ground saw it coming. cantera.lgnd.ai #maps #football

Wondering what to do with Fable during the extended access window? You could govern Carthage. Petition to Carthage is a turn-based game run entirely by the model — inspired by NationStates, set in the alternate history of Mare Non Nostrum.

Year 3 — 123 BC
From the office of the comptroller of public expenditure, Carthage, to the Council of Elders, greetings.
Honoured elders. The annual audit of the ceremonial stables records thirteen elephants. The establishment provides for twelve. The keepers, questioned separately, agree that the thirteenth has been present since the spring, is of good temper, and answers to commands in Punic; on the question of its arrival the accounts diverge, some holding that it came in the night, others that it came gradually. No owner has presented himself. No theft of an elephant appears anywhere in the Republic's correspondence, and an elephant, the keepers submit, is not a thing that goes unmissed. Feed is drawn for twelve and divided thirteen ways, and the twelve elephants of the establishment have noticed. I request that the Council furnish an owner, an establishment of thirteen, or instruction as to which elephant is the extra one.
The Council will resolve:
1. Enrol it. The establishment is henceforth thirteen; the audit is amended and the feed line increased.
2. Apply the Caralis principle. The animal conveyed itself, unlicensed and unpiloted: impound it, fine any owner who appears, and auction it if none does.
3. Sell an elephant — any elephant, the keepers may choose — restoring the establishment to twelve and the accounts to silence.
4. This touches the treasury, the dignity of the stables, and conceivably Baal Hammon. Constitute a committee.

Not a good sign that at this very moment I seem to be moving the opposite direction to Karparthy and DeepSeek.

The car swerve meme with the highway signed "encoder-decoder models" and the off ramp signed "decoder only" and the car labelled "SITS-DECO"

Lovely that ChatGPT Pulse does me a Spanish lesson each day but I already knew "guagua" even before the 1st of the 4 times it's tried to teach me in the last 10 days.
