The breach was linked to a third-party software provider, BeyondTrust, which had been providing remote technical support services for Treasury’s Departmental Offices (DO) end users.

Large language models (LLMs) designed for deep reasoning — such as OpenAI’s o3, Anthropic’s Claude, and DeepSeek’s R1 — produce 50 times more carbon dioxide emissions than basic AI models, when answering identical questions. Advanced AI models emit up to 50 times more CO₂ than simpler ones. Reasoning AIs like o3 and R1 use more energy for longer answers. Logic-based queries, like math or philosophy, spike emissions significantly. “The environmental impact of questioning trained LLMs is strongly determined by their reasoning approach,” said Maximilian Dauner, lead author of the study published June 19 in Frontiers in Communication....

First published: Sep 29, 2023 Updated 2 times since publishing In my tests, I found that Zoho Vault is a reliable app with good security, useful features, and an excellent free plan. However, it’s not as easy to set up, and its paid plans are business-focused, meaning Zoho Vault isn’t worth the money if you want the app for personal use. Instead, I suggest you get Dashlane if you want a password manager for yourself or your whole family....

You can even use this link to get Adobe Premiere Pro free for 7 days so you’ll have the chance to test it yourself with no commitment and try its advanced features....

Technically, it’s true that a VPN can change your virtual location to allow you to watch another region’s library. However, this is against the Prime Video Terms of Service, and may also be considered copyright infringement in some jurisdictions. I don’t condone either of these things.

Bentley Hensel created an AI chatbot, DonBot, for a debate with Don Beyer. DonBot simulates Beyer’s policy positions using his public statements and campaign materials.

The debate is scheduled to stream online on October 17. The AI chatbot, DonBot, is modeled after Beyer and was created without the congressman’s permission....

A recent analysis by Nature highlights the growing but largely opaque energy demands of AI. Nature reports how in Virginia’s Culpeper County, large data centers are transforming rural landscapes. These centers, essential for running generative AI models like ChatGPT, require massive amounts of electricity. AI data centers consume as much power as tens of thousands of homes. In Ireland, data centers use over 20% of national electricity. AI model training is energy-intensive, but answering user queries consumes even more....
