The News Production Studio has been released.

The News Production Studio is live. The functionality is sufficient for generating well-illustrated one-minute news summaries. The length of videos isn't actually limited. Video illustrations are procured or generated before-hand, paying attention to the aspect ratio. Obviously I didn't want to implement a full vide-editing suite in the browser...

This tool actually uses very little AI. With that being said, it is well-positioned to be plugged into agentic workflows, since every step is either already automated or is positioned to be driven agentically.

On Gimp and Photoshop

...2 years ago Miles Mathis said:

I couldn't make the diagrams I wanted of Ammonia with Gimp and don't have Photoshop anymore

Well, the free and open replacement for Photoshop is Krita, not Gimp. Gimp has always been an ugly, irrational abomination. It never worked and it drove its users to depression. I tried using it once.

Okay... spinal tap? Or did the migrants need to donate a finger?

Notice there is no video from the mission at all. What a fraud...
WTF is this? Since when do women need "bodily autonomy"? Is that the same as murder of children? And since when do women need "more say" in how the society "is run", while having more "free time"?

Blabbering on tv is not the same thing as running a society. In fact, politicians don't "run the society", industrialists and operators run it. Lumberjacks run the society.

Running a society is hard work, men's work! If a woman wants to run a society, she needs to grow a pair of balls, and then "free time" will be a thing of distant dreams. WTF is "free time" anyway? My time is not free.
According to their web site, it produces 0.00000004 watts, an amount so small there isn't even a consumer device that could measure any energy output above zero, much less power anything. And it costs $5,250.00. Hence, the satellite needs solar power.

To scale this up to generate a single watt would cost $10.5B and weigh 15 tons.
Voyager 1 relies on Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs) for internal power.

Because the spacecraft was designed to travel far from the Sun where solar panels are useless, it required a nuclear power source.

Key Features of the Power System

The Fuel: The system uses Plutonium-238 in the form of plutonium oxide.

Heat to Electricity: The natural radioactive decay of the plutonium generates heat. Thermocouples then convert this thermal energy directly into electricity.

The Units: Voyager 1 carries three RTGs, which are mounted together on a long boom to keep radiation away from the sensitive science instruments.

Initial Output: At launch in 1977, the three RTGs combined produced about 470 watts of power.

Current Power Status: due to the radioactive half-life of the plutonium and the degradation of the thermocouples. The power output decreases by about 4 watts every year
