People in the LGBTQIA+ community often use the word partner to describe their relationship to other parties. ‘Boyfriend’ can sound juvenileLike many couples, Rouzer found “boyfriend” an inaccurate description of her close companion. Carey explained that “the relationship escalator” is a concept where couples are expected to follow several steps in a romantic relationship. Even the term “partner” could feel ambiguous since people might not know if you’re talking about a life or business partner. For Rouzer, “partner” is the most appropriate label for her nine-year relationship.

Anyone can do the same thing — Sweeney just made it slightly more convenient. It’s just not clear that Meta cares as much about its users’ privacy and wellbeing as it does about Zuckerberg’s.

☆ Biden expected to apologize for federal government’s role in Indian boarding schools
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-24 | by ( Arlette Saenz | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +5 min

CNN —President Joe Biden is expected to issue an apology to the Native American community for the federal government’s role in the abusive Indian boarding schools that forced Native American children to assimilate over a 150-year period, two sources familiar with the plans said. “The federally-run Indian boarding school system was designed to assimilate Native Americans by destroying Native culture, language and identity through harsh militaristic and assimilationist methods,” the White House said Thursday. In 2021, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, the first Native American to serve as a Cabinet secretary, commissioned the Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative to review the impact of the federal boarding school policies. The department issued a final report this summer confirming at least 973 Native American children died while attending these federal boarding schools. At least 18,000 children were taken from their families and forced to attend more than 400 Indian boarding schools across 37 states or then-territories between 1819 and 1969.

☆ Groq CEO Jonathan Ross reveals strategy to lead AI chip market
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-24 | by ( Hugh Langley | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

While many AI companies have focused on training large language models, Groq seeks to make them run as fast as possible using chips it developed called LPUs, or language processing units. The gambit is that as AI models get better, inference — the part where the AI makes decisions or answers questions — will demand more computing power than training will, positioning Groq to reap the rewards. Groq's special (and tightly patented) sauce is its specialized chip design says Ross. Dean asked Ross's team to design a chip based on a specific type of integrated circuit they were using, and the result was Google's first tensor processing unit, a chip designed specifically for AI. Watching the AlphaGo program land a complex "shoulder hit" move on its opponent was validation for Ross that faster inference meant better, smarter AI.

Komen organization, Munn spoke more on the importance of her campaign with Skims. “But I was looking at my mastectomy scars and I was thinking about the first time I saw them and how shocking it was for me.
