6 points gangster disciple

When DeMar DeRozan sank a second-straight 3-point basket against the Los Angeles Lakers in Sunday’s win, the celebration that followed was automatic. All DeRozan had to do was stand still — his teammates came to him, bounding and bouncing off him to acknowledge something slightly rare. DeRozan has never been known as a 3-point shooter — nor does he want to be. He’s built an All-Star career on a brutal efficiency in the midrange and an incomparable ability to earn trips to the free-throw line, a unique style that continues to stand out even as the league becomes increasingly dependent behind the arc. But the last month saw a steep spike in DeRozan’s shooting volume from behind the arc. In the past 11 games of March, DeRozan is making 1.3 baskets on 2.9 attempts from 3-point range, doubling his typical production of 0.6 makes on 1.8 attempts on the season. DeRozan has always balanced his low attempt from 3-point range with high efficiency — so when he shoots from deep, he makes … [Read more...] about DeMar DeRozan’s increased 3-point volume an extra boost to the Chicago Bulls offense — but Billy Donovan has one tweak

(CNN) Google's much-hyped new AI chatbot tool Bard , which has yet to be released to the public, is already being called out for an inaccurate response it produced in a demo this week. In the demo, which was posted by Google on Twitter , a user asks Bard: "What new discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope can I tell my 9 year old about?" Bard responds with a series of bullet points, including one that reads: "JWST took the very first pictures of a planet outside of our own solar system." The way we search for information online is about to change According to NASA , however, the first image showing an exoplanet — or any planet beyond our solar system — was actually taken by the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope nearly two decades ago, in 2004. Shares in Google's parent company Alphabet fell 7.7% Wednesday, wiping $100 billion off its market value, after the inaccurate response from Bard was first reported … [Read more...] about Google shares lose $100 billion after company’s AI chatbot makes an error during demo

(CNN Business) An entire generation of internet users has approached search engines the same way for decades: enter a few words into a search box and wait for a page of relevant results to emerge . But that could change soon. This week, the companies behind the two biggest US search engines teased radical changes to the way their services operate, powered by new AI technology that allows for more conversational and complex responses. In the process, however, the companies may test both the accuracy of these tools and the willingness of everyday users to embrace and find utility in a very different search experience. Real estate agents say they can't imagine working without ChatGPT now On Tuesday, Microsoft announced a revamped Bing search engine using the abilities of ChatGPT, the viral AI tool created by OpenAI, a company in which Microsoft recently invested billions of dollars. Bing will not only provide a list of search results, but will also … [Read more...] about The way we search for information online is about to change

Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 27 ORANGE - A customer at a marina here who only identified himself as "Bear," on Monday said he shot and killed an 11-foot alligator he believed was involved in Friday's deadly attack on an Orange man. The man said he set a trap from his boat with chicken as bait and caught the 400-pound reptile before he killed it with a shotgun. "He had to go," "Bear" said.

Game wardens cut open the animal Monday evening and found remains of Tommie Woodward's body in the animal's throat, said Precinct 4 Justice of the Peace, Rodney Price .

Protesters near Mar-a-Lago. Photo: Giorgio Viera/AFP via Getty Images In March, as Donald Trump put out word that he was about to be arrested — by a “SOROS BACKED ANIMAL” for “A CRIME THAT DOESN’T EXIST” — Florida governor Ron DeSantis floated a subtle contrast. “Look, I don’t know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence over some type of alleged affair. I just — I can’t speak to that,” he told reporters, alluding to Trump’s very extant crime. To emphasize his own, porn-star-free marriage, DeSantis gave an interview to Piers Morgan in the New York Post. The Post, like most of the Murdoch media empire, has been operating almost indistinguishably from DeSantis’s proto-campaign for president. (“We see him as the future of the party,” a Fox News producer wrote in an email a few years ago.) This article fawned over DeSantis’s family, showing the devoted couple and their adorable children in a series of photos. And yet the weak point in this pitch … [Read more...] about What Ron DeSantis Can’t Fake
