Thankfully, “you can soak your turkey in cold water.”Smith said you need to put your turkey breast down while it’s still in the wrapper to properly thaw the bird.“It takes about 30 minutes per pound. Change that water every 30 minutes,” she said.It’s what you’ll need to do if you haven’t thawed your...

Bills’ midseason defensive additions CB Douglas and DT Joseph have made an immediate impact

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:00:00 GMT

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills’ defense is banged up. What else is new?A few things, actually.The significant contributions made by cornerback Rasul Douglas and defensive tackle Linval Joseph a mere three weeks following their arrival haven’t gone unnoticed.“It’s pretty remarkable to be honest,” safety Micah Hyde said, referring to Douglas, who had two interceptions and recovered a fumble in a 32-6 win over the Jets on Sunday. “Midseason, coming in and learning the playbook and being able to go out there and not just know what he’s doing, but to play fast is pretty impressive.”And then there’s the 35-year-old Joseph, who has combined to play 79 snaps to stabilize the middle of Buffalo’s defensive front.“It’s huge. It’s huge,” Hyde said. “For them to come in and step in and give us a little boost, a little energy is cool.”It’s a boost the Bills (6-5) certainly needed after adding the veterans over a two-day span to reinforce a defense missing three starters.Rasul, ...

ANÁLISIS | OpenAI tuvo una semana turbulenta: ¿Quién ganó y quién perdió?

(CNN) — La crisis de liderazgo que afectó a OpenAI durante casi una semana terminó casi tan abruptamente como comenzó: con un anuncio conciso y críptico de la compañía que podría tener enormes repercusiones para su futuro.En cierto modo, el resultado fue un retorno al status quo: Sam Altman sería restituido como CEO, y quedó intacta la profunda y lucrativa asociación comercial de la compañía con Microsoft, que adquirió una participación de US$ 13.000 millones en la compañía incluso cuando ésta desarrolla su propia IA.Sin embargo, en otros sentidos, el acuerdo sigue siendo un momento decisivo para OpenAI y el campo de la inteligencia artificial en general.La semana turbulenta parece haber resultado en una gran victoria para Altman personalmente; defensores de la adopción generalizada de la IA; y algunas de las élites más establecidas del país. Y se produjo a expensas de los escépticos de la IA que, según muchos, fracasaron en su intento de adoptar una postura de principios a fa...
