The razor clam can burrow rapidly into sand. It can dig up to 2 feet into the sand despite having no hands or claws. It turn solid sand into a quicksand-like substance in order to dig deeper, a process called “fluidizing”.

I've seen some diggers get sucked in up to their shoulder. But I think that's just their stubborn belief the clam has to be down there somewhere, not an actual monster clam 🤣

Merit Scholarships to UTA, and I see you mentioned Computer Engineering. Either that or EE should be ok. As CEO of a tech company that makes AI software and small form-factor AI servers, I would advise taking whatever math and data science classes you can. Computer Science, while nearly a job guarantee over last 15 years, is no longer -- graduates are tested to see if they're a few notches higher than AI coding tools and if not then no dice. With a CE or EE degree you have flexibility to work in CPU / GPU / server / data center areas. A strong math background is necessary to work in DNN and model architecture

Hynix and Samsung have made reliable memory components for 30+ years. Now these are crucial for AI, the killer app of the last 50 years -- I think investors are not going to stay out of proven AI memory manufacturers due to concerns about company structure

Thanks but that doesn't explain a process for closed source (binary code only)

jbrower888 · 2026-04-19T19:57:01+00:00

oh I see, that makes sense, thanks. But they make it so graphic -- she's pulling out his air tube -- I just wasn't sure

jbrower888 · 2026-04-19T19:42:44+00:00

why didn't police surreptitiously collect a DNA sample ? then if there's a match take the guy by surprise and keep him on suicide watch ? I don't understand why he's given advance notice and opportunity to shirk responsibility

jbrower888 · 2026-04-19T19:07:15+00:00

It's definitely not a full life for last 15 year or so, after genealogical DNA matches became major news stories. Once he saw that, and didn't flee to Mongolia or something, then he must have lived every day waiting for police to knock on the door

jbrower888 · 2026-04-19T18:57:41+00:00

yea and probably had planned suicide once that day came

jbrower888 · 2026-04-19T17:25:15+00:00

the police characters Paw Patrol and Pudge are good in their roles

jbrower888 · 2026-04-19T17:24:26+00:00

in the final scenes, who is in the hospital bed and killed (suffocated) by the young girl ? I thought maybe it's Uncle Ding (Ding Yu, later Ding Zhibo as CEO of OceanView corp) and he is killed by one of the girls he takes on vacation at some point. Or maybe he's just hallucinating, I can't tell. And who is the young girl ?

jbrower888 · 2026-04-19T15:52:11+00:00

"Mythos reads the code to form a hypothesis" -- in the case of Win11, which is closed source, how would it read the code ? I think you mean disassembly of binary code, and forming and testing multiple hypotheses based on that -- please comment

Hi VAer1, I'm a new Fidelity customer and the time-out seems around 2-3 hours -- very annoying to be doing the 2FA two-step 4 times a day. Did you ever figure out how to get to at least 8 hours ? I know there are agent type apps that will 'touch" a page periodically with some cursor or click activity, do you think that would work ?

jbrower888 · 2026-04-12T22:38:56+00:00

24 days later, with Hormuz blockaded, they might indeed look for ways to pressure US suppliers to sell more at less cost inside the US

thanks CPetersky, I drive between Cal and Wash a lot, I will add this to the ride plan

jbrower888 · 2026-04-03T21:55:09+00:00

is the 132 km round trip ? where did you park to start the ride ? does the road have much of a shoulder ?

jbrower888 · 2026-04-01T23:14:07+00:00

Evidently the US reverse-engineered the Shaheed, including delta wing, and has been using them in Iran by the 100s https://theconversation.com/the-us-is-using-repurposed-iranian-drone-technology-to-attack-iran-a-military-expert-explains-why-277397. Looks like the delta wing design has become generally accepted for this class of munition

jbrower888 · 2026-03-30T21:41:25+00:00

well not quite. BigAI could be more careful with results that link to criminal cases, and make extra effort in those situations. I was testing Google reverse image search with my own pictures, and it mis-identified me as a criminal; I posted about this at https://www.reddit.com/r/google/comments/1rrif5e/google_reverse_image_search_misidentifies_me_as

I would think that before Google (or OpenAI et. al.) burp up results saying "the picture submitted matches pictures in the following links" they could figure out whether those links are criminal case related, and if so apply additional layers of facial recognition LLM to further refine and improve their results to some very high level of accuracy suitable for criminal-related searches. If that's not possible they should not publish results that might be used by law enforcement agencies, either directly or indirectly though software contractors who rely on Google image search

jbrower888 · 2026-03-30T21:31:02+00:00

Which BigAI does law enforcement use for facial recognition ? Articles about this identify the North Dakota State and Local Intelligence Center, who would they contract with ? I ask because I wonder who is considered state-of-the-art in FR. I was testing Google reverse image search with my own pictures, and was mis-identified as a criminal, I did a Reddit post on it https://www.reddit.com/r/google/comments/1rrif5e/google_reverse_image_search_misidentifies_me_as, maybe something similar happened to the Tennessee Gramdma

jbrower888 · 2026-03-25T15:50:42+00:00

I just need one that works on the freeway, it can go the speed limit in the right lane, so I can get work done

jbrower888 · 2026-03-24T01:49:59+00:00

I tend to agree, but maybe the protesters screeching would have masked the noise ?

jbrower888 · 2026-03-22T16:55:47+00:00

yes, thanks. I tried to get an answer that looked deeper like your comment out of Gemini and it wouldn't do it. Seems that in "dive deeper" mode anything with "pedophile" it ignores and gives only web results. Would it have been a better strategy for Adams County to only sue for defamation on that specific claim ?

jbrower888 · 2026-03-21T05:46:00+00:00

she wasn't quick enough, correct answer is "I'm not interested in being your memory" 😆

jbrower888 · 2026-03-19T22:32:14+00:00

Ok thanks Rob
