Comment from the Author:

I put a lot of work into this piece. The public is still largely disconnected with what is happening in artificial intelligence. This isn't sci fi. AGI is coming.

There are many pages of field notes and arguments on what’s actually happening at the edge of frontier AI models...discussions on consciousness, sentience, perception, and the weird flickers of something mind-like emerging. If you’re curious about where this tech is quietly going, here’s my take:

https://samanthawhite274794.substack.com/p/flickers

I had a co-worker lose his life to spatial disorientation during a night-training flight in Italy: "Maj. Lucas "Gaza" Gruenther, a pilot assigned 31st Fighter Wing, went missing during a nighttime training mission over the Adriatic Sea Jan. 28. In the days that followed, Italian and U.S. authorities collaborated as part of in an immense search effort to locate Gruenther. The search ended Jan. 31 when Gruenther's body was recovered by an Italian vessel... Gruenther completed more than 2,640 hours of flying time to include 400 combat hours."

Best practice that I've seen is to just get a cover for your laptop and apply the stickers to that. This provides protection for your laptop and you can hang the cover on your wall if you desire afterwards.

The sister of Kelly Catlin, the three-time cycling world champion who has died at the age of 23, says her sibling suffered a concussion in the months before she killed herself.

Christine Catlin told the Washington Post on Sunday that a series of crashes, in which Kelly broke her arm and suffered a concussion, had had a profound effect on her sister. “She couldn’t train as well as she used to,” Christine Catlin said. “She had really bad headaches and was sensitive to light. Then she tried to commit suicide in January … she had written this lengthy email [to her family] and said her thoughts were racing all the time. She was suicidal, her thinking was really dark and she had taken to nihilism. We called police the moment we got the email, and they got there in time to save her that time.”

"Individuals who fail to submit this form or who do not provide all the requested information may be denied a US visa. Although furnishing this information is voluntary, failure to provide this information may delay or prevent the processing of an individual via application."

So it is required but it is not required? ...

"The repeater may have created more questions than it delivered answers."

Difficult to understand as it is irregular with bursts at random intervals. "After 50 hours of seeing none during previous observations, the team now spotted them frequently, including, one time, a “double burst” of signals only 23 seconds apart."

On Tuesday, Congress sent proposed legislation to President Trump that wipes away landmark online privacy protections. In a party-line vote, House Republicans freed Internet service providers such as AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast of protections approved just last year that had sought to limit what companies could do with information such as customer browsing habits, app usage history, location data and Social Security numbers. Now call it a poetic justice, less than a day later, online privacy activist Adam McElhaney has launched an initiative called Search Internet History, with an objective of raising funds to buy browsing history of each politician and official who voted in favor of S.J.Res 34. On the site, he has also put up a poll asking people whose internet history they would like to see first. - Slashdot

Make it. Shake it. Break it. That’s the three-part refrain of dark-matter detectives, including Tracy Slatyer, a theoretical physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

“I originally created Sn1per because I didn’t want to run 10 different security tools and remember every command switch for each pentest I was doing. I wanted to be more efficient in the enumeration phase in order to save time and focus on other more manual aspects of penetration testing,” 1N3@CrowdShield, creator of Sn1per

Now if only we could get those on chemotherapy to run!

I do not know which would be more difficult, getting patients on chemo to run or obese Americans? Both are likely to soon die. (Sad but true)

At least the running for the mice was voluntary.
