Even if you're not into the sports, you must feel the palpable energy in South Florida as the Miami Heat and the Florida Panthers (never give up, kids) battle for championships this weekend.We don't need to mention this to any of the out-of-towners from Denver and Las Vegas who are wandering around ( welcome, Nuggets and Golden Knights fans !) but the current state of South Florida sports is something we've never experienced.

Creating foundational systems
You start by defining your type scale, which will be used for much of the rest of your system.A base font size is used, along with a scale factor such as minor third (1:1.125).Every other font size is based on this ratio.Icons are automatically sized based on the type scale, since typography and icon pairing is a common and important element in design systems.

Story by If you've been reading about the current state of the tech industry in traditional media reports, you'd be forgiven for assuming that the industry is trembling on a precipice, about to plunge into the inky abyss.The truth, though, is somewhat more nuanced.While sites such as layoffs.fyi,which tracks tech redundancies, are reporting that around 616 tech companies have laid off 184,101 employees so far this year, those layoffs should be viewed within a wider context.

Baltimore proved a difficult opponent in their trip to Yankee Stadium, mounting a wild comeback to win on Wednesday and comfortably cruising through Thursday's 3-1 win.The Yankees got one against them in a comeback of their own on Tuesday at least, but now they'll have to focus on a new opponent in the Padres.

If you asked me what the most optimistic outcome the Yankees could find themselves in entering the final game of this first meeting with the Rays, it might just be the one they wound up with.Splitting the first two games and entering the rubber match with their ace lined up against a bullpen game is at the very least a recipe for success.

Chief Justice John Roberts said Tuesday night that he wants to assure the public that the Supreme Court is committed to adhering to the highest standards of conduct, appearing to direct his remarks at critics of the high court amid recent ethics controversies.We are continuing to look at things we can do to give practical effect to that commitment, and I am confident that there are ways to do that that are consistent with our status as an independent branch of government under the separation of powers, Roberts told an audience gathered in Washington, DC, for an event hosted by the American Law Institute, where he received a medal honoring the late Judge Henry J.

Jerome H.

WordPress has evolved steadily.It has added significant features, while somehow maintaining familiarity.But much of the user and developer experiences are based on our choices.Do we go with a battle-tested classic theme or opt for a newfangled block theme?Do we embrace the Block Editor or stick with the trusty Classic flavor?

The fruition of Microsoft's multibillion-dollar investment in OpenAI has helped spur what some are labeling as the latest digital revolution, as terms such as "generative AI" become household phrases and ChatGPT achieves record levels of uptake.Similar to the proliferation of the world wide web in the 1990s, and the mass uptake of smartphones and social media in the late 2000s and early 2010s, OpenAI's success has placed generative artificial intelligence technologies firmly on the marketing industry's agenda.

Being a part of the local community is the most important aspect of being an independent store, we often get to connect with other local businesses.Are there any particular challenges you face as an independent business?Most of the challenges that occur for us stem from the pandemic and the current state of our economy; people are spending less money on items that aren't necessities due to the cost of living crisis so we have to be careful with our budgets.

A coalition of founders, CEOs and professors (Elon Musk among them) says artificial intelligence companies should immediately pause for at least 6 months the training of AI systems, though some may just want to sideline the competition so they can launch their own AI products.Some may argue that the current state of AI language bots etc. has been oversold and overhyped.

The hardware that has enabled and driven the recent explosion of generative AI products has primarily been manufactured by Nvidia.That's thanks in part to its dominant position in the consumer and workstation graphics markets, plus the well-established CUDA libraries and its AI-accelerating Tensor cores.

As an entrepreneur and tech enthusiast, I have witnessed several overhyped technologies and businesses.These stretch from the first wave of the internet in the 1990s with Webvan and Pets.com, which both had multibillion-dollar valuations, to the recent Theranos scandal, where a $10bn blood testing business turned out to be a sham.

Could this be the year when America starts to shift away from the employer-sponsored health insurance model?To be sure, health care is an issue that concerns most people.Whether it is accessing care or paying for health care services, few people are free of the anxiety that comes when they or a loved one must undergo treatment for an acute life-threatening or debilitating chronic condition.
