Well yeah that’s why I said short bursts, but it is not fundamentally a scam. I do not wish to call a scientific process a scam

Fusion/fission has already proved itself in short bursts (it’s not a scam), but this snippet from the article could tell us why Trump wants the company: β€œthat would create one of the first publicly traded fusion companies”

this means we will have to spend a lot of money on revamping the building to new prison standards. Also removing the whole Alcatraz tourism thing we got going on

The largest of the files, counting over two thousand pages (www.archives.gov/files/resear...) would need to be transcripted into plaintext in order to reference it in an LLM. The files are so old that human labor is certainly required to read the crooked text and type it back into a text file.

Grok can, *at most*, analyze 4 paragraphs at a time. Feeding it all the papers will result in absolutely nothing other than

1. Crashing the LLM
2. Making it hallucinate with overload of tokens
3. Receive a summary of the first few paragraphs or the last few paragraphs

Downdetector outage report graph for X (formerly Twitter)

Downdetector outage report graph for X (formerly Twitter)

Given the report graph, this seems to be an update gone bad?

Initial push (2 am) and then rolled back (3 am). And then earlier this morning, they probably fixed the issue and then pushed it again (7 am) only for servers to go out of service yet again.

TF2 Classic is coming to @steampowered.com in 2025! "Steam" is a mysterious resource created when coal is burned in certain situations β€” a harrowing thought to coal-lovers like the Civilian, to whom burning coal is like setting one's own children on fire.

GitHub - aiden-powers/alphanumeriqr: Compression efficient binary QR codes using safe to read alphanumerics Compression efficient binary QR codes using safe to read alphanumerics - aiden-powers/alphanumeriqr

Using alphanumerics to represent binary in QR codes allows for smaller codes, leading to deterministic compression that is safe for robots to read from a distance.

Text in quotes above says "Anything good to read?"
The text under it says quote "The notorious give me recommendations in the replies please"

The image also contains a picture of a green cat edited to look like it has two small alien antennae on the top of its head.

Big companies have datasets of deconstructed confirmed CSAM images that are converted to hashes.

-> Hashes cannot be converted back to an image, that’s how they can legally have this data. <-

We can test this by converting any image to a hash and matching it against the database.
