"cooled by the vacuum of space" - huh, neat. hey does anyone know how thermoses work
This would have been a good point for someone to have asked, is that really how things work? Or is vacuum in fact an excellent insulator? www.ft.com/content/a5cf...

There’s a lot of weird ways to store a bit.
Delay Line Memory might be the strangest.
Essentially, sound waves looped through a medium, creating a sequential “memory” inside the material itself.
Alan Turing suggested using…Gin

Disney just invested $1 billion into OpenAI, in other words, a billion in the AI slopification of its brand. Disney princesses have also become one of the most common fictional subjects of AI porn on the internet

I guess that's why there's a sudden rash of "If you don't understand bonds, you don't understand money" videos on YouTube ... Someone is paying financial influencers to "prime" the public for buying debt.
