In the early 1980s, Sagan and a small team of atmospheric scientists (the TTAPS group) used computer models to warn that even a “limited” nuclear war could loft enough smoke and dust to plunge the planet into years of freezing darkness, famine, and collapse “nuclear winter.” NASA’s Ames Research Center, where key collaborators worked, was nervous. The director feared Reagan administration backlash and political retaliation against the agency’s funding. Sagan stepped in, leveraging his public profile from Cosmos to override the objections and green-light the work. The team published their findings in Science, and Sagan followed with a vivid cover story in Parade magazine that reached millions. Despite fierce opposition from Edward Teller and others who called it alarmist, Sagan testified before Congress. The idea shifted global thinking on nuclear arms; years later, Mikhail Gorbachev credited it with helping end the Cold War.
sēx is cool but have you ever found an academic article that fits your research topic perfectly and supports all of your claims
Physics is really insane
Do you like Jeremy Clarkson Yes or No?
I was wrong about Sarvam. When I wrote about them a year ago, I felt like the direction to train small "indic" language models was wrong. But boy, have they turned it around. They have the best text-to-speech, speech-to text, and OCR models for Indic languages, and that's actually really valuable. The pricing is very reasonable. And the website is not only beautifully designed but dirt easy to use. They're filling a well needed gap in the ecosystem and doing things big labs will probably never focus on to the fullest extent (at least in the short term). I don't know anything about the business, but there's a lot to appreciate about what they've build technologically and I can't remember the last time I felt that way about software products coming out of India. Well done.
