I find the Mario Kart Blue Yourself records to be hilarious personally. Get a blue shell and hit yourself with it as quickly as possible.

The original paper is a neat enough read. Lots of math explaining what they know and what they're extrapolating.

Mostly though, it's been moving for 50 years. It could erupt tomorrow. Or in a century. Or never. The press release at least mentions the possibility of it settling into a slow rise/fall cycle.

Neat read either way.

Musk ordered the company to cut infrastructure costs, such as spending on cloud services, by $1 billion, a source had told Reuters in November.

At some point all these numbers seem like magic space money. Not that that's what they spend, but that's what they could reasonably (for whoever's definition thereof) cut?

Sure, but they could do the same thing with an API. Make scraping for LLMs against the TOS; not personal use. I really do think (as the OP says) it's two birds with one stone.

Ooh, I'll have to check it out -- if there's anything approaching decent API support. I'm a coding geek that reads a silly amount and blogs all my reviews. I'd love to share them on other communities, but it's a bit annoying to do it on Goodreads anymore--and I've not found any of the others particularly better.

Posted much the same on another share of this article (Lemmy is a bit odd so far that way).

The original paper was interesting enough reading for me. Lots of data but also lots of extrapolation. Science in a nutshell!

Have you tried hand writing on a device? Either a tablet or one of the eink ones?

I do a bit of both and it's nice to been nice to have both the tactile sensation of writing while also having an immediately backed up digital copy.
