"Today, there is intense interest in the use of multivibrators in cryptography. Turing’s key generator, the most original part of Delilah, contained eight multivibrator circuits, along with the five-wheel assembly mentioned previously. In effect the multivibrators were eight more very complicated “wheels,” and there was additional circuitry for enhancing the random appearance of the numbers the multivibrators produced."

Dario Amodei, Anthropic CEO, has been campaigning for government regulation. Only last week, he was putting out statements that we need an AI pause. He keeps saying how dangerous his own products are and how likely they are to create mass unemployment. Well, now he has his government regulation and he has his own personal pause. Hopefully, this will teach him why many are sceptical of asking governments to regulate against innovation.

Anthropic is led by AI doomers and are always asking for ways to save the world from their own products. Anthropic have been campaigning for years to get government regulation in place in the full knowledge that the head of the US state is Donald J. Trump. Only last week, Anthropic were putting out statements that they want a pause on AI development. Now they have the regulation they wanted and they have the pause they wanted. Let's see how they like it.

Are 9-3, not 9-5. Traditionally, this gave the staff 2 hours between 3 and 5 to balance the books before going home.

You can make anything out of cardboard if you mix enough carbon fiber and resin in it.

I clicked on the link, which appeared to be a BBC story, and then filled in the form including my phone number for more information. Then I saw it was a scam and bailed. Now I get 2 or 3 phone calls from the scammers every day, all from local phone numbers, but all guys with Indian accents so they are spoofing the numbers. I always answer, never speak and just let them hang there a few minutes. The annoyance is that they will sell my number to other scammers so this phone number is probably blighted for life now.

So they can buy Pre-IPO Space-X stock.

"Rupert's Land Act"

Thanks for the coffee spew.

She says the truth, she gets booed because it's not what the audience wants to hear. Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, Reddit, Slashdot, FB and every other social media platform. There won't be significant change until the audience does more than boo.

Only reason I have LI is because I got access prior to public release back in 2003. I got laid off and my manager recommended it.

The money would have been far better spent rebuilding I-5.

Mythbusters did an experiment to disprove this. I'd say they are about as credible as these researchers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Don't you watch For All Mankind? Everyone there uses a Zune instead of iThings.

These would be very useful in geothermal well data loggers. The current technology uses 100 degree C parts inside a thermos container. I presume there are deep oil wells that can also use high temperature data loggers.

Increasing UDP throughput simply by inlining a function is a big deal!
