The toll has multiplied since yesterday.A glacier in far northern Greenland lets go of an island of ice the size of Manhattan. Nvidia posts ninety-six billion dollars in a quarter and gets squeezed by something ordinary. The makers of ChatGPT build a chip in nine months, and how they designed it is the part worth hearing.Meta pays seventeen billion over harm to children, and the market reacts in a way you might not expect. A jobless figure that refuses to move. A dresser recalled in May before anyone was hurt, then sold anyway through four companies in four states. An Alaska ballot with the same name on it twice.And a man in 1859 they called Crazy Drake, a roundabout in England where the graves were supposed to be gone, and a moon that slides into the earth's shadow and stops just short.Art Sterling. The news, straight down the middle.
