Like a apple TV / Roku which then… Reports everything you’re watching and or viewing. We truly live in the day and age where nothing you do digitally is private, and it’s almost turned into privacy via aggregation imo now since the PBs of raw data isn’t really worth it for major corporations.
Obvs if you’re the .0001% I’m sure the NSA can tap into it and you’re still gonna be fucked that way, but that can be said for pretty much any digital device.
Imo it’s bc it’s the new kid on the block. Yes it’s 10 years old but barely becoming common use in production and government mandates are only speeding that up. In actuality it’s a great language and has been hyped for a few years by people who actually use it. Python went through the same thing in the 2010s where devs really tried clowning on it, now it’s used everywhere.
Yeah 3.5 was pretty ass w bugs but could write basic code. 4o helped me sometimes with bugs and was definitely better, but would get caught in loops sometimes. This new o1 preview model seems pretty cracked all around though lol
Not sure entirely where this fits into this conversation, but one thing I’ve found really interesting that’s discussed in this Convo w Dr. K (I don’t have a timestamp sorry). Tai Chi has much more significant affect on all health perspectives than typical Western running/jogging/yoga etc.
And research papers can note this, but as soon as researchers start attempting to dig into the actual mechanical process behind why it has such a significant affect, their papers will be rejected because it dips too far into Woo/Spiritual territory despite not describing what the woo is, just acknowledging that “something” is there happening.
I think it’s interesting we can measure results and attempt to explain what we’re seeing but western research tends to be so tied to physical mechanisms it has almost started hindering our advancement.
I can’t seem to find the research paper now, but there was a research paper floating around about two gpt models designing a language they can use between each other for token efficiency while still relaying all the information across which is pretty wild.
Not sure if it was peer reviewed though.
This is interesting, haven’t heard of it. I think the problem with the disc format is you aren’t getting 28 TB of content on there unless you span multiple discs which is a pain in the ass
nobody out there has come up with a good way to permanently archive all that stuff
Personally I can’t wait for these glass hard drives being researched to come at the consumer or even corporate level. Yes they’re only writable one time and read only after that, but I absolutely love the concept of being able to write my entire Plex server to a glass harddrive, plug it in and never have to sorry about it again.
Nvidia shield is an option you should check out.
As much as people around these parts despise algorithmic feeds, I suspect an algorithmic feed would’ve worked far better in this situation to feed all academic based content to someone immediately on account creation if they show interest/ follow peers in the field.
This would’ve helped the migration since they most likely don’t know the accounts of the Twitter accounts posting academic content as that was algorithmically fed as well. I’m really doubtful it’s a problem with decentralization, seems to me mastodon had a problem with both not having a critical mass and the content that was there wasn’t easy enough to find.
Personally really been enjoying Kagi for the past year.
China <> US relations have actually been at a much better place this last half a year. This articles pretty big on the fear mongering.
As a heavy tiktok user I would probably only use this if it had an algorithmic feed.
The article talks about why they’d prefer to shut down if you take their word it. Essentially the US is such a tiny portion of ByteDances revenue, it would be more optimal to shut down then to risk the sale of their algorithm. Assuming they’re using relatively similar algorithms on Douyin, and they don’t want whoever they sell to to turn around and sell to their Chinese competition, which is where the real money is being made for ByteDance.
There’s was a surprisingly great 6 minute video from CNN done on this in January.

The “hospital bombing” Was a Hamas rocket
This was independently verified as an IDF rocket from multiple sources. Also what about the other 7 hospitals bombed?
Yeah a military will kill their enemies when there’s a war.
Snipers are executing children with bullets to the head. Men are released blindfolded to run and be executed via bullet. This is not what many would be considered, “normal war killing”
There is humanitarian aid going in. There is a border between Egypt and Gaza, it’s mostly just Egypt is being weird causing problems.
Not only is the IDF stopping aid into Gaza as are Israel citizens.
A lot of the humanitarian problems are because there are so many people in Rafah, a place that doesn’t have the infrastructure to handle that many people
Interesting that Israel specifically chose this as a place to evacuate civilians to, and despite that still decided to do both a bombing and ground invasion.
what’s left of their homes to the north
There is nothing left. The IDFs entire plan was the destruction of civilian infrastructure and we’re already seeing Israeli settlers moving into these western locations.
No Iraq officials condemned the attacks and accused the US of violating the countries sovereignty.
"These strikes constitute a violation of Iraqi sovereignty, an undermining of the efforts of the Iraqi government, and a threat that will drag Iraq and the region into undesirable consequences, the consequences of which will be dire for security and stability in Iraq and the region,” Yahya Rasool Iraqi commander in chief
To have formal relations with China you can’t recognize Taiwan as independent.
Unfortunately not many reporters are reporting on this sincerely besides TheHill and Newsweek, although it’s slowly becoming more sincere.
Here’s an opinion piece that describes the situation when it originally started last year and contains a pretty accurate non biased overview.
Most recently there was a SCIF held on January 10th with the UAP caucus, and the IG regarding the Grusch claims. NY times article where some Congress people substantiating a few of Grusch claims.
Also very important to note, in general this is a very non-partisan issue (Republicans are definitely the most outspoken though). A UAP bill was put forward by Chuck Schumer in December to be included in the NDAA, which would declassify UAP materials that didn’t expose national security, and force all UAP materials to be returned to the US Government. It was unfortunately gutted by the House during negotiations (specifically by Congressmen lobbied by defense contractors). Take that as you will, but I think the fact that this is being discussed to be codified in law and not entirely hidden behind the executive branch with zero oversight is great for the public.
the continued belief in and resources spent on said unsubstantiated conspiracy is frustrating.
It’s very important to note here that the ICIG (Office of Intelligence Inspector General) who far out ranks Kirkipatrick and the AARO rated the whistleblowers claims urgent and credible.
Several Congress members then held a classified meeting with the same ICIG and determined that Gruschs claims have validity.
It’s a quite misleading to say this is entirely based on false information and claim it’s nothing more than a conspiracy theory that we shouldn’t be wasting resources on.
