Sunset District high-rise 'isn't a thing,' according to Weiner

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:12:16 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- A proposed high-rise development in San Francisco's Outer Sunset District is not "in the world of reality," according to California State Sen. Scott Weiner. The proposed 600-foot tower which would be located on Sloat Boulevard just a few blocks from Ocean Beach has drawn opposition from the community.A petition opposing the tower has garnered more than 3,000 signatures. Renderings for the project show a modern, residential tower that would look more at home in SoMa or downtown. The towering structure would be in stark contrast to the neighborhood's existing two- or three-story buildings. Grocery chain adds new anti-theft measures at some Bay Area stores While community outcry against the development has been widespread, Weiner said the project isn't serious."That tower isn't a thing," the state senator said on Twitter. "We need to focus on the projects that are in the world of reality."Weiner's tweet was part of a thread on obstacles to building new housing...

Thai election winner set to make last stand in contentious bid to become prime minister

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:12:16 GMT

BANGKOK (AP) — The leader of Thailand’s Move Forward Party, which won a surprise first-place finish in May’s general election, is expected to have a last chance Wednesday to get the country’s parliament to confirm him as the next prime minister after he was rebuffed in a first round of voting.Move Forward Party leader Pita Limjaroenrat fell short last week when he failed to get enough support from the non-elected Senate, whose members made clear they would not vote for him because of his party’s platform. The party campaigned with a promise to try to amend a law that makes it illegal to defame, insult or threaten Thailand’s royal family. Critics say the law, which carries a penalty of up to 15 years in prison, is abused as a political weapon.The Senate’s members were appointed by a military government rather than elected and are considered, along with the army and the courts, as serving as the conservative royalist establishment’s bulwark against change.Move Forward, whose age...

US says Ukraine has significant combat power not yet committed to the war

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:12:16 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Ukrainian forces have a “significant amount of combat power” that hasn’t yet been committed to the war, the top U.S. military officer said Tuesday, saying Kyiv is conserving some of its tactical effort while troops slowly work their way through deadly Russian minefields.Speaking to reporters after defense leaders from around the world met to discuss Ukraine’s military needs, Army Gen. Mark Milley was asked about the slow pace of Ukraine’s offensive to take back territory seized by Russia. He said Ukraine will decide when to use the combat power and complex training the U.S. and allies have provide. He flatly dismissed suggestions the offensive is failing.“It is far from a failure, in my view. I think that it’s way too early to make that kind of call,” said Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. “Right now they are preserving their combat power. And they are slowly and deliberately and steadily working their way through all these mine...

Facebook parent Meta makes public its ChatGPT rival Llama

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:12:16 GMT

MENLO PARK, Calif. (AP) — Facebook parent company Meta Platforms has built an artificial intelligence system that rivals the likes of ChatGPT and Google’s Bard but it’s taking a different approach: releasing it for free.Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Tuesday that the company is partnering with Microsoft to introduce the next generation of its AI large language model and making the technology, known as Llama 2, free for research and commercial use.Much like tech peers Google and Microsoft, the social media company has long had a big research team of computer scientists devoted to advancing AI technology. But it’s been overshadowed as the release of ChatGPT sparked a rush to profit off of “generative AI” tools that can create new prose, images and other media.Meta has also tried to distinguish itself by being more open than some of its Big Tech rivals about offering a peek at the data and code it uses to build AI systems. It has argued that such openness makes it easi...

In backlash over their expulsions, 2 Tennessee Democratic lawmakers raised $2M combined

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:12:16 GMT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee state Reps. Justin Pearson and Justin Jones have raised more than $2 million combined through about 70,400 campaign donations after Republican lawmakers abruptly expelled the Democrats this spring for their gun control protest on the House floor.The vast majority of those small donations came over just a few days when the two had been kicked out, but not yet reinstated. If Republicans kept the two young Black House members in office, they would not have been allowed to fundraise as sitting lawmakers while a legislative session was ongoing.Instead, each of the two lawmakers saw a flood of campaign cash beyond the norm for even Republican legislative leaders to raise, let alone two freshman Democrats who are in the superminority.Campaign finance reports that were due by the end of Monday show how much Democrats capitalized on the national attention. Jones and Pearson were expelled over a breach of decorum rules for their protest calling for the GOP to...

(CNN) — Los vaivenes en la clasificación mundial de pasaportes para 2023 se pusieron un poco más interesantes.Durante cinco largos años, Japón ocupó el primer puesto del Índice Henley de Pasaportes, que mide la libertad de viajar por el mundo en función del grado de acceso sin visado y con visado a la carta del que disfrutan los ciudadanos.Pero para el verano de 2023, Japón fue derribado hasta el tercer lugar y el nuevo campeón es Singapur, cuyos ciudadanos pueden visitar 193 destinos de 227 en todo el mundo sin visa.Y si bien Asia ha dominado durante mucho tiempo la parte superior de la tabla de clasificación en el índice creado por la firma de asesoría de residencia y ciudadanía global con sede en Londres Henley & Partners, Europa se está recuperando.

(CNN Español) — La XIV legislatura de España, iniciada en diciembre de 2019 y a escasos días de cumplir su ciclo, pasará a la historia como una de las más turbulentas de los últimos años.
