Dinosaur explores beach


Lily Wilder spotted it at Bendricks Bay, Barry, in the Vale of Glamorgan —and scientists believe it could help establish how they walked.

The footprint, spotted in January, is 220 million years old and had been preserved in mud. While it is impossible to tell what type left it, the print is 10cm long and likely from a 75cm tall dinosaur.

National Museum Wales palaeontology curator Cindy Howells described it as "the best specimen ever found on this beach".

Perplexity

The year-old search engine , whose founders previously worked in A.I. research at OpenAI and Meta, has quickly become one of the most buzzed-about products in the tech world. Tech insiders rave about it on social media, and investors like Jeff Bezos — who was also an early investor in Google — have showered it with cash. The company recently announced that it had raised $74 million in a funding round led by Institutional Venture Partners, which valued the company at $520 million. Many start-ups have tried and failed to challenge Google over the years. (One would-be competitor, Neeva, shut down last year after failing to gain traction.)  But Google seems less invincible these days.   Many users have complained that their Google search results have gotten clogged with spammy, low-quality websites, and some people have started looking for answers in places like Reddit and TikTok instead.

Is this Dalle3 supposed to narrate with images?

Image
1  Cat looks at moon; mouth open— a meow? Cat shadow on wall demonstrates where the light source is? The moon? Can full moon increase lumens enough to allow ambient light outside window to overcome direction of moonlight? Or a motion sensor lamp outside? Branches outside window seem erratic with no tree seen as anchor —twiggyness. Shadow of branches, above cat's shadow, points down. 2  Same cat, mouth closed, raises paw while staring at moon? focused on moon? Something else outside? Cat seems drawn🐾 to something. Now we have panes with odd dimensions. Branches outside window more pro forma than image 1. Shadow looks odd. There are window treatments now. Stars beneath moon. 3  Cat not looking out the window, now. Is it looking at someone/thing in the room with it? Is it registering a new idea while staring off into space? Enlightenment! Window treatment still in background, but now, smaller panes in the window. Branch has entered the building . Clouds below moon. The mullion has pi
