Much better link - https://www.cointribune.com/en/qubic-hits-52-72-of-moneros-t...

Appears to be legit, but not really a nefarious attack.

>Did Qubic really attack Monero ? No, according to official statements, it was a planned stress test to identify vulnerabilities in the Monero network.

"not really a nefarious attack" is an insane summation of this article. There's zero way for someone outside of qubic to verify that they didn't do something nefarious while controlling the network. Stated another way- anyone could call their 51% attack a "stress test"

This is a Congressional website, this is not a Presidential website.

The library of congress maintains congress.gov[1], the head of the library of congress was fired by trump and replaced by a loyalist[2]

Looks like Groq (at 1k+ tokens/second) and Fireworks are already live on openrouter: https://openrouter.ai/openai/gpt-oss-120b

$0.15M in / $0.6-0.75M out

edit: Now Cerebras too at 3,815 tps for $0.25M / $0.69M out.

Non-rhetorically, why would someone pay for o3 api now that I can get this open model from openai served for cheaper? Interesting dynamic... will they drop o3 pricing next week (which is 10-20x the cost[1])?

[1] currently $3M in/ $8M out https://platform.openai.com/docs/pricing

Maybe my tinfoil hat is on too tight, but I always thought it was interesting that Graphene OS places so much blind trust in a proprietary black box security chip from Google that they pinky-promised to open source but never did.

Are you referring to the titan M2? why do you describe Graphene OS putting "so much blind trust in" it? I don't think they put much trust in it besides using it for storing keys and for their "Auditor" app

Normal summer weather is used to install anxiety in the minds of the populace, so they will easier accept future draconian measures.

> weren’t imposed by an aliens, they were enacted by democratically elected representatives

Elected at the state level, sure. But it was against the will of the national electorate and they knew it. Democracy means going along with popular decisions even if you disagree, not finding tricks to undermine what was nationally agreed because your corner of the country doesn't like it.

> the kind of people most of the electorate want enforcement focused on, not gardeners and farm workers.

Most of the electorate wants all illegal immigrants deported, not just the ones caught committing violent crimes.

As the other comment stated- You're saying that _your opinion_ was "what was nationally agreed" to. Trump has at many points stated illegals (daca recipients) should have a path to citizenship, do you think some trump voters might have believed trump when he said that and voted for that position?

5 tasks per day is low enough to be roughly useless for serious work
sigmar · 3 months ago
It isn't "5 prompts." A single task is more like a "project" where you can repeatedly extend, re-prompt, and revise.

I look forward to it. I listened to her a lot recently because YouTube decided ever “next video” bump while I drove should be her.
sigmar · 4 months ago
My view- she, like many, has been conditioned by social media to optimize for clicks by having contrarian and anti-establishment views. She's not positioned to have a particularly well-researched opinion on 95%+ of the topics she covers (which is understandable considering how many hundreds of videos she has made). I watched her for a bit, but stopped when I researched a topic deeper and found her analysis very superficial. Physics is a huge field. Think it is always better to find experts in a particular subfield and hear their views, rather than follow the feed of someone who repeatedly expresses the "everyone else is wrong" schtick
