ABILENE, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) — The 43rd annual “I Love America Day” was held at Dyess Elementary School. Each year, fifth graders dress up in costumes of key figures in American history and perform a patriotic program to express gratitude to those who serve our country.

Principal Heath Wright of Dyess Elementary shared that this event fosters community pride and tradition.

“This is my first year here at Dyess, but I will still have former students and adults come in. The one thing they never forget is who they played in I Love America. So it just gives a sense of pride, and it’s very traditional,” Wright shared.

The children sang the military medley, and many of their parents, some of whom are actively serving, joined in. They then gathered for a parade on the campus.

AI training data has a price tag that only Big Tech can afford
Data is at the heart of today's advanced AI systems, but it's costing more and more -- making it out of reach for all but the wealthiest tech companies. Last year, James Betker, a researcher at OpenAI, penned a post on his personal blog about the nature of generative AI models and the datasets on which they're trained. In it, Betker claimed that training data -- not a model's design, architecture or any other characteristic -- was the key to increasingly sophisticated, capable AI systems.

Inside EV startup Fisker’s collapse: how the company crumbled under its founders' whims

Instead, Fisker Inc. is on the brink of bankruptcy after having delivered just a few thousand electric Ocean SUVs. As the company grasps for an improbable rescue, employees who spoke to TechCrunch say the blame largely rests on the shoulders of two people: the husband-and-wife team whose name is on the hood.

Mill’s redesigned food waste bin really is faster and quieter than before
As before, the bin accepts a wide variety of food waste — only a handful of items like oyster shells are off limits — and grinds and dries it to a consistency that looks like chunky coffee grounds. Where the old bin worked as promised, it wasn’t always as quiet or fast as I would have liked, sometimes taking nearly a day to complete a cycle of drying and grinding the food. Here’s how Mill made it happen.
