Just had the creepiest scam ever happen 20 minutes ago.
I got a call from my wife telling me she forgot her wallet and needed the credit card to pay for her gas.
Except my wife was at home with me, and drives a Tesla. Same voice, bit... off, weird cadence but 100% sounded just like her. If she wasn't there, and it wasn't about gas I would have fallen for it.
I entertained it for awhile to get more out of it, I was so confused. Must be some sort of voice deepfake. The responses were too fast for ai, I think it was a voice filter. I wish I had thought to record it.
The future is about to get fucked. Warn your loved ones, do verbal passwords with your kids.
Bit taken aback

『透明ドローン？』
塗装で隠すのではなく、機体全体を高速回転させ、人間の目には背景に溶ける薄いぼかしのように見せる。

There's no reason pepper spray should be illegal. No one has ever used pepper spray to go on a killing spree. The fact that it's illegal to carry pepper spray in the UK suggests the purpose of their laws is to make it illegal to defend yourself. They want you to live in fear.

Results from a failed attempt to train a latent diffusion model on the results of my gabor image fitting process. The model doesn't do what it was supposed to, but I don't really mind what it's doing.

The New York Central Railroad laid out a number of materials they were considering for Grand Central in 1905 to see how they’d weather the elements before deciding on the two sources they’d use a year later.
Not an actively monitored experiment, but I still find it neat.

Just learned that I work less than a mile from the longest-running stone weathering experiment: NIST's stone wall test.
Built in 1948, it includes 2352 samples of stone from 47 US states and 16 countries, and uses two types of mortar.

Here is precisely the best way to nearly die in a tornado. Sheltering in a chicken farm structure in dixie against a wedge that previously did EF4 damage and taking the strongest segment of the tornado. Credit to Mando Cruz on Tiktok for the footage. This structure was rated 140.

🚨 Here is the full 40 minutes of my crew and I exposing California fraud, Minnesota was big but California is even bigger... We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences. Like it and share it, the fraud must STOP.
We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians.
It is time to EXPOSE IT ALL and end America's fraud crisis.

cancel your chatgpt subscription and delete your openclaw slop. i'm serious.
go on ebay and buy a used RTX 3060 for the price of two months of pro. or check your drawer because half of you already own one and forgot about it.
install hermes agent from @NousResearch. one framework, 31 tools, file operations, terminal, browser, code execution. connect it to your local llama.cpp server running qwen 3.5 9B Q4. total download is 5.3 gigs.
that's it. that's the whole setup.
every experiment you hesitated to run on API. every project you shelved because you didn't want your data on someone else's server. every late night idea you didn't test because you hit your rate limit. all of that is gone. runs 24/7 on your electricity. your machine. your data never leaves your house.
connect it to telegram if you want it on your phone. hook up whatever tools you need. the model thinks at 29 tok/s with 128K context and it never bills you.
qwen 3.5 9B and one RTX 3060 is the setup most people will never try because they've been trained to believe intelligence has to come from a datacenter. it doesn't. it runs on 12 gigs of VRAM under your desk right now.
stop giving your thinking away for free.

"Huck, what is the point of retconning tech into literature?"
"Beats me." Huck said as he hit his vape and ripped a sick wheelie on his bike.

One of the more intriguing artifacts of ancient North America…
BANNERSTONES
Only found in the eastern portion of the U.S., just what were they used for?Ceremonial purposes? As a weight on an atlatl? Or something else?…
