What does a nosey pepper do?
Gets jalapeño business
IQ tests were administered to the defendants at the Nuremberg trials and the hierarchy within the third reich almost perfectly mapped onto cognitive performance.
The scores ranged from a high of 141 to a low of 106, which belonged to Julius Streicher. Streicher was universally ridiculed within Party as being an idiot and Goring (138) openly despised him for being so stupid.
10 years on, I’m still waiting for the memristor revolution. Looks like photonic chips might take the market before memristors, but the promise of PIM hyper-dense neural nets, written into reprogrammable crossbar arrays is still so tantalising.
The hype around the Steam Frame is unreal. Depending on how it’s received and reviewed when it launches, especially compared to the cheaper Meta kits, I might pick one up
It depends on what the ‘something’ that they do, is
The European Union styles itself as the defender of democracy in some acme of hypocrisy, but its institutions are technically undemocratic. The European Parliament holds no legislative initiative. Bills are proposed by the Commission and voted on by the Parliament and Council of the European Union. The only body of the seven European institutions to be elected by the citizenry (the Parliament) cannot craft laws at the pleasure of the citizenry. The thing is an unaccountable bureaucracy and it is riddled with technocratic idealists.
Thank you for bringing our attention to this matter
We need a Constitutionally entrenched Bill of Rights with a right to force a referendum on new legislation, based on the Swiss system. Any petition with 50,000 signatures forces a referendum so the public can veto Parliamentary excess
Elon’s all server-side thinking I guess but Apple’s product lineup looks set to be a hero for local inference. MLX, Universal Memory and Apple Silicon make reasonably large models accessible to pro consumers and hobbyists. Exo labs + mac studios can get pretty sophisticated jobs done.
In an ideal near-future, households would have a locally run always-on model with full access to the owner’s personal data. It would act as a mediating layer to interact with frontier models to carry out long-horizon tasks for the household without leaking sensitive data to third-parties.
A Nostr client with an integrated Small Language Model to handle timeline recommendations would be elite.
It would read through and tag content posted to relays and populate a ‘For You’ feed, without exporting user data to a third-party for profiling. It could also work across nsecs and if the user’s preferences were stored as a .json then it could be shared between the user’s devices. It would need to be sufficiently lightweight to run on local hardware or an iPhone’s neural engine to handle everything privately. Ideally, you would be able to tweak its recommendation via natural language conversations.

The Santa Maria was the 150-tonne carrack that sailed Columbus to the Americas. 150-tonnes is within the payload limit of SpaceX’s starship.
I propose we build a replica Santa Maria and launch it into orbit around Mars as an eternal homage to human exploration.
Without an existing National Service system in the U.K., it’s difficult to predict exactly how a draft would be organised. While the U.S. maintains the Selective Service System that requires the registration of all 18-25 year-old men, and nations with active draft systems like Singapore, Taiwan, and Israel conscript new adults, this may not be the modus operandi of a modern draft. Ukraine has notably not opted for this system. The Ukrainians instead chose a *minimum* age of 27 for draftees and only under pressure from inadequate recruiting have floated the idea of lowering this minimum age to 25. The Western World suffers from top-heavy populations that skew towards mature adults & elderly. There have been too few children to fill the ranks of future workforces much less take massive casualties in peer war. The same number of babies are born each year in the U.S. today as were born in 1955 (around 4 million) despite the U.S. having doubled its 1955 population.
Work on what you guys would have admired together
long call* not long put
Maybe it’s a bilateral contract. One or a few parties trading large quantities at a pre-agreed price. Like a put option with the long position selling into the market at a discounted price to clear
