Rockies beat Cubs with four homers, 7-3, snap six-series losing streak

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:05:34 GMT

Bud Black’s rationale for the Rockies’ never-seen-before lineup in Wednesday’s series finale against the Cubs was simple: He wanted to get his hottest hitters at the top of the order, even if that meant putting Nolan Jones in the leadoff spot.Jones and the rest of the top half of the lineup delivered with four total homers in Colorado’s 7-3 win over the Cubs at Coors Field that broke a six-series losing streak for the Rockies.The rookie left fielder’s two-run bomb in the fifth inning changed the momentum of the game. Jones, making his second career start at leadoff, mashed Jameson Taillon’s belt-high heater 452 feet to tie it 3-3.Elehuris Montero, Kris Bryant and Ryan McMahon all went deep after that as Colorado tied a season high set twice before with four homers in a game. The Rockies also capitalized on a good outing from southpaw Ty Blach (five innings, three runs while working around traffic) and got a strong performance from the bullpen.Gavi...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:05:34 GMT

The Colorado Republican Party is hoping to join the fight against a lawsuit that aims to keep former President Donald Trump off the state’s ballot next year.The state GOP has fundraised off the case and is seeking to intervene in the legal proceeding — which was just sent back to Denver District Court this week by a federal judge after Trump’s attempt to move it failed. The case itself grapples with whether Trump, the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, is eligible to appear on Colorado’s primary and general election ballots in 2024 under the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.The petitioners — six Republican and unaffiliated Colorado voters — cite the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and allege Trump “incited, exacerbated, and otherwise engaged” it. The Civil War-era amendment prohibits people from holding office if they have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the country.The lawsuit, the ...

Promptify.com Is the Future of AI-Driven Content Generation

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:05:34 GMT

When ChatGPT was first released for regular use, it soon became a seismic event of global proportions. Everyone was using ChatGPT for all sorts of things; people were making bold predictions about what it meant for the future, and there was a sense that things would never be as they were before. But as the dust settled and people became less impressed with what these early generative AIs could do, it became apparent that they were just a starting point—the first step in a new direction, at most.With Promptify.com, Chris Gomes Muffat is trying to move generative AI in the next step. The project is available for users to try and want to change how users interact with AI and what a generative AI can create for them.“For instance, you can’t tell GPT to write 200 pages about some topic. It can only give you an answer to a maximum of about 4000 words,” Muffat explains. “So, with Promptify, you won’t have this problem. You will go online and say you want to write a novel of 200 pages.”Muff...
