5 days after Tesla gave xAi 2 billion.
My team has been kicking around the idea of using images to trip up candidates using some kind of AI in their ear.

Things like diagrams and questions written on paper the held up to the webcam.

What would be the benefit of this project over hosting VLLM in Ray?

That sounds extremely interesting. Do you have particular books you would recommend?
I have two circular gel disks to protect my elbows from rubbing the desk too hard (I've put holes in several uniforms). The product is called jelbows.

One of the nsa's biggest breaches was perpetrated by a guy who admitted to bestiality during his polygraph.
Re:Google’s Dominance Is No Longer a Sure Thing on Sunday June 02, 2019 @02:24PM (#20077094)
Today was the first day the quality of Google search results pushed me to another search company (duck duck go). I was trying to find info on the Virginia Beach shooting. And every query I tried brought the exact same results. 'Virginia Beach shooting reddit' brought no reddit, only the same ~6 news sources. I wasn't even in a personalized algorithm bubble (using an anonymous browser). The propaganda potential of Google seems to be actualizing rapidly (or maybe just my cognizance of it).
Re:Insights I’ve Gained Training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu on Monday May 14, 2018 @01:35PM (#17067491)
I am very interested in trying jiu jitsu, but am afraid of injuring my knee and not being able to run distance. I've read many accounts stating tearing a knee is inevitable when rolling as a beginner with beginners. Is it reasonable to train jiu jitsu if distance running is your primary objective? Or is it just too risky?
Re:Lyme Disease Is on the Rise Again on Monday May 07, 2018 @03:44PM (#17015841)
Not to be the conspiracy theorist... But have you ever heard of plum island? Specifically the Plum Island Animal Disease Center which developed bio weapons utilizing ticks as the disease vector? Operations started in 1952. There were several documented cases of poor containment practices and two likely means of transporting the disease back to the mainland (swimming deer and geese). The evidence is pretty damning. Check out the book Lab 257.

I also stopped enjoying my favorite hobby, running on deer trails and through dense forests. I check intently for ticks after ever forest excursion, but it is very disheartening when I find one. They are so incredibly small it seems impossible not to missed one. Plus it is extremely difficult to check your hair and back and I rarely have a running partner. All in all, Lyme disease, indian genocide, and invasion of Libya are my top 3 atrocities US gov has committed.

Re:FCC approves SpaceX plan for satellite broadband network on Saturday April 07, 2018 @09:08AM (#16780551)
The majority of currently tracked space debris is the result of a single anti-satellite missile test China conducted. So less collisions more weapon based destruction. And any future conflict (between nation's reliant upon gps guided weapons)will likely start with anti-satellite warfare. This worries me greatly.

Have you seen this recent result http://news.mit.edu/2018/physicists-create-new-form-light-02....

Does it change your thoughts on the utility of quantum cryptography?
