Comment Re:WTF is wrong with this guy's brain? (Score 1) 114

He's also a sleasebag who has been credibly accused of sexual assault by three women (and in general being a sex pest to many more). When a former friend (Jonny Robb) threatened to out him over it (it had been gnawing at him for a long time, and he was friends with some of the girls), Milton entrapped him (deliberately switching the topic to money, baiting him into asking for money to stay quiet, knowing that he was poor), then when he got Robb to ask for money, reported him into the police for extortion. Robb - his old friend - committed suicide after being released on bail.

Not defending Milton at all, but it bends the constraints of credulity to say that he "tricked' his former friend into asking for money. If he was being confronted by Robb for his sexual sins, how did he manipulate the conversation into convincing Robb to ask for money to keep quiet? Just because he was poor? That is severe mental gymnastics.

Comment "bright as a full moon" (Score 3, Insightful) 80

You can stare at the full moon all night if you like, because the albedo of the moon has filtered most of the light including the UV band that naturally passes through our own atmosphere. The three mile circle illuminated by a mirror would bounce a significantly higher amount of UV than the moon's albedo. If you treat the 60ft reflector as an analog to a pinhole in a pinhole camera, the circular area on the Earth surface would be a rough projection of the image of the sun.

(1) I wonder how they calculate the UV exposure for the observer on the surface within the illumination area.

(2) I wonder if you'd be able to detect places in a coherent projection where sunspots or coronal ejections are reflected through the "pinhole" effect of this arrangement.

The UHF app on our Apple TVs & iOS devices and the UHF Server in Docker to act as a PVR gives us everything for a few $ a month paid in crypto.
We haven't had cable since ~1999-2000. Downloading and the *arrs have kept us happy, but the better half wanted to check out some live sports. So IPTV it was.

I've used Claude at home for ages. Work was wanting to get some AI stuff for us and the only 'blessed' one is CoPilot. Everything else it blocked. All senior management seems to know about AI is "Hurrr... Copilot and ChatGPT."

Out team of ~8 (pentestesting & VA) were unanimous about Copilot being crap and Claude being the top dog. So some higher ups OK'd a Claude Teams package for work. To bypass the CorpSec tards, we use it from our lab environment that has its own unmonitored link and IP range.

Anthropic/Claude is just so far ahead of OpenAI/ChatGPT and MS/Copilot it's not funny.

Comment Calculation Power? (Score 3, Interesting) 38

So maybe i'm missing something, but it's my understanding with most blockchain based applications the big thing is calculating "proof-of-ownership". However as the size of the chain increases, the calcuation power and time required to do it also increases (I don't remember if it's linearly, logrithmically, etc.). For a low volume application, this is feasible. But how would this work with things like HFT and massive volume changes in terms of time and compute power required.

I have a theory that it's impossible to prove anything, but I can't prove it.
