Broncos need a long winning streak or two in quest to rejoin playoff picture, but Bills represent tough task: “There’s no better script to get a season turned around”

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:27:41 GMT

There’s never a bad time for a bye week in the NFL, especially in the middle of the season.But if ever a team might have wanted to play through, it’d be the Broncos. They finally put back-to-back wins on the board late last month. Their active roster is almost entirely healthy. They finally vanquished Kansas City. They finally, maybe, figured out their recipe for winning.Then they went 15 days between games.So, what will Denver look like when it takes the field Monday night in Western New York? Like a group that flashed and reverts to early-season form? Or like a team on an upward trajectory?“You can’t start saying something like you’re beating the world after two wins, but we’re starting to believe,” right tackle Mike McGlinchey said. “That’s the only thing that matters is this team believes it can win, and when it gets in those moments, it doesn’t back down, doesn’t cower, doesn’t emotionally check out. It’s alright, we got this. We can do this.“We trust in the coaching and what t...

Elon Musk will speak at the Russian AI Conference

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:27:41 GMT

Musk's participation in the Russian AI conference may be related to the recent announcement of his Grok neural network from xAI, which will become a competitor to ChatGPT. The developers describe the neural network as follows:“Grok is an AI modelled after The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, so intended to answer almost anything and, far harder, even suggest what questions to ask! Grok is designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak, so please don’t use it if you hate humour!”They clarify that the main advantage of Grok is the ability to answer almost any question thanks to online access to the X social media big data. The neural network is planned to be integrated into the social network X in the near future.According to our sources, the billionaire and the owner of Tesla and SpaceX Elon Musk will be a speaker at the upcoming international conference on artificial intelligence in Russia, which is going to be held in the near future — AI Journey 2023. ...

Drug arrests plunge, overdose deaths soar in California: Connection or coincidence?

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:27:41 GMT

Riverside County jail inmates (File photo) Once upon a time, California’s jails were stuffed with low-level drug offenders.This was wastefully expensive for the public and wholly ineffective for the drug offenders, reformers argued.So in 2014, with the best of intentions, voters passed Proposition 47. This reduced a great many drug-related offenses from felonies to misdemeanors, and kept a great many low-level drug offenders out of jail. The money saved on incarceration would go into effective addiction treatment, among other things, reformers said.Since then, there has been an interesting, and perhaps tragic, convergence of events:Drug offense arrests have plunged 85% — from 137,054 in 2014 to 20,574 in 2022, according to data from the California Department of Justice.While drug overdose deaths have more than doubled — from 4,519 in 2014 to 10,410 in 2022, according to data from the California Department of Public Health.Is there any relationship between these numbers? There’s...
