This work diminished short-term revenue, but was best for customers, much appreciated, and should bode well for customers and AWS longer-term. We're also making progress on many of our newer business investments that have the potential to be important to customers and Amazon long-term. Being intentional about building primitives requires patience. Customers building their own FM must tackle several challenges in getting a model into production. Customers' AI models contain some of their most sensitive data.

The beach resort and other sections of the Landmark site on the coastal right of way are billed to be pulled down, a government notice seen by CNN states. “People who bring in money to make cities like this effective will be very concerned (with the proposed demolition of the beach resort). Environment consultant Adeodun is urging authorities to conduct thorough environmental and social impact assessments before tearing down coastal businesses for the superhighway. “I understand that the original right of way for the road did not pass through Landmark Beach… Perhaps, revisiting the routes to ensure minimal environmental damage and preserve local businesses should be strongly considered,” he added. For Onwuanibe, the coastal highway, once rethought, should serve as a blessing for thriving businesses situated along the coast rather than a curse.

Read previewThis as-told-to story is based on a transcribed conversation with Justin Stephen Mtui, a Kilimanjaro summit guide. I've climbed Kilimanjaro over 300 times. I remember telling other porters, "If you haven't gone to Kilimanjaro summit, you can't say you're hiking Kilimanjaro." Social media has helped make the Kilimanjaro hike more popular. As a company, we'll summit Kilimanjaro 66 times in 2024.

Havana remains one of my favorite cities in the world to visit. Diego Grandi/ShutterstockI've visited Havana over 30 times and studied and researched the city for 10 different guidebooks. I love the Cuban city for its irrepressible street energy and animated, resilient people. When first arriving in town, I gravitate to the historic squares and thoroughfares of the Old Town and then head for a lengthy stroll along the Malecón sea drive. Here, at one of the city's most famous meetup spots, I can get a handle on the city's mood, reacquaint myself with my Cuban friends, and see what's changed since my last visit.

Amazon's employees and cloud customers will gain early access to technology from Anthropic as part of the deal, which they can infuse into their businesses. They declined to state how much Amazon now would own of Anthropic or the startup's updated valuation, last estimated at more than $4 billion. The deal also shows ongoing maneuvering by the cloud companies to secure ties with AI startups reshaping their industry. Yet with Monday's deal, Anthropic is giving a boost to Amazon Bedrock, a service that has attracted thousands of users to start building AI applications. Asked if Amazon would invest in additional AI startups beyond Anthropic, Selipsky said, "I honestly don't know what the future will hold."

Titles from a handful of trusted brands appeared near the top of the page: Rick Steves, Fodor’s, Lonely Planet. Also among the top search results was the highly rated “France Travel Guide,” by Mike Steves, who, according to an Amazon author page, is a renowned travel writer. “I was immediately drawn by all the amazing reviews,” said Ms. Kolsky, 53, referring to what she saw at that time: universal raves and more than 100 five-star ratings. Its price tag — $16.99, compared with $25.49 for Rick Steves’s book on France — also caught Ms. Kolsky’s attention. When it arrived, Ms. Kolsky was disappointed by its vague descriptions, repetitive text and lack of itineraries.

But the announcement shows that Amazon Web Services recognizes the significance of the current moment in generative AI and the importance of being in the conversation, alongside rivals Microsoft and Google . However, those rivals have had splashier entrances into generative AI, even though Amazon has drawn broadly on AI for years to show shopping recommendations and operate its Alexa voice assistant. For Amazon, that momentum applies to its Bedrock generative AI service and its Titan models as well as the new innovation center. Really, you need the cloud for generative AI." Also, the way Selipsky sees it, AWS provides a measure of credibility in offering generative AI that eludes others in the space.

The busiest travel days during Thanksgiving week are usually Tuesday, Wednesday and the Sunday after the holiday. It looks like the rush started early this year, as the Transportation Security Administration screened nearly 2.33 million travelers on Sunday. It’s the first year that the number of people catching planes surpassed the 2.32 million screened the Sunday before Thanksgiving in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic began. “As a result, we’re confident that the week is going to go well.”U.S. airlines plan to operate 13% fewer flights this week than during Thanksgiving week in 2019. The busiest day in TSA’s history came on the Sunday after Thanksgiving in 2019, when nearly 2.9 million people were screened at airport checkpoints.

Recurrent Ventures made a digital-media splash with acquisitions like The Drive and Popular Science. In May of last year, Recurrent Ventures announced its flashiest deal yet: a $300 million fundraising round led by the private-equity giant Blackstone. To make a more appealing parent brand to house a growing fleet of media properties, they eventually created a new entity called Recurrent Ventures. Recurrent Ventures expanded as it acquired well-known publishers like the 150-year-old Popular Science. Recurrent Ventures shut down MEL Magazine, the men's lifestyle publication it once planned to make the centerpiece of a new lifestyle vertical of sites.
Still, true work-from-anywhere jobs are hard to find. FlexJobs found that about 95% of remote jobs have geographic requirements, whether it's a specific region, country, state or city. All of the companies on the list offer full-time or part-time remote jobs that didn't have a location restriction and required no time in the office. "But as companies adopt more flexible arrangements, including location independence and remote work options, we anticipate people will have more opportunities than ever before to work remotely — and from anywhere in the world." Some of the most in-demand work-from-anywhere jobs included social media manager, executive assistant and front-end developer.

В Озерном крае на северо-западе Англии открыли первый в мире парк ежей — в нем зверьки могут безопасно пережить зимнюю спячку, не подвергаясь никаким опасностям, пишет интернет издание Афиша со ссылкой на портал Lonely Planet. Идея парка возникла после того, как популяция ежей в Великобритании сократилась на 98%. Животных признали исчезающими. Особенно уязвимы, как отмечали ученые, зверьки во время зимней спячки — в кустах и лесах на них нападают дикие животные. Также ежи становятся жертвами людей, которые ранят их газонокосилками и используют вредные удобрения для почвы.
