We visited the Meadowlark Botanical Gardens as the weather was forecast to be good. We saw a variety of flowers & many birds. There were Eastern Bluebirds everywhere! Later, we visited the Red Rock Wilderness Overlook Regional Park for the first time.

A Bluebird Day at the Meadowlark Botanical Gardens

We decided to visit the Meadowlark Botanical Gardens this weekend as the weather was forecast to be pretty good. It was a bit questionable on our way there but the skies cleared quickly! We saw quite a variety of flowers, as usual, and many birds. In particular, there seemed to be Eastern Bluebirds everywhere! Later on in the afternoon, we visited the Red Rock Wilderness Overlook Regional Park in Leesburg for the first time.

What a tragedy, for Virginia and for the U.S. as a whole, as well as, obviously, for #JenniferWexton. Wexton is terminally ill and not able to run for reelection to #Congress. Gift access to reporting at https://wapo.st/3Lu8lcR. I fervently hope an excellent #Democrat steps up to run in #LoudonCounty. Carrying Wexton’s mission forward is imperative for America.
Rep. Jennifer Wexton will not seek reelection as diagnosis changes

Wexton (D-Va.), hoped to continue serving in Congress and fight what doctors thought was Parkinson’s disease. She will no longer seek reelection in 2024.

.> ... large-scale AI models are indeed big water consumers. For example, training GPT‑3 in Microsoft’s state-of-the-art U.S. data centers can directly consume 700,000 liters of clean freshwater (enough to produce 370 BMW cars or 320 Tesla electric vehicles), and the water consumption would have been tripled if training were done in Microsoft’s data centers in Asia. These numbers do not include the off-site water footprint associated with electricity generation..> ChatGPT needs a 500-ml bottle of water for a short conversation of roughly 20 to 50 questions and answers, depending on when and where the model is deployed. Given ChatGPT’s huge user base, the total water footprint for inference can be enormous..> ... if we only consider carbon footprint reduction (say, by scheduling more AI training around noon), we’ll likely end up with higher water consumption, which is not truly sustainable for AI..> ... the vast majority of data centers still use potable water and cooling towers. For example, even tech giants such as Google heavily rely on cooling towers and consume billions of liters of potable water each year. Such huge water consumption has produced a stress on the local water infrastructure; Google’s data center used more than a quarter of all the water in The Dalles, Ore..> ... some AI conferences have requested that authors declare their AI models’ carbon footprint in their papers; we believe that with transparency and awareness, authors can also declare their AI models’ water footprint as part of the environmental impact. - The Markup: Water Footprint of AI Technology
