What they claim is immaterial.

It's worse. The special lingo doesn't make a good trader.

You can be certain the firms looked ahead and had specialized ML tools built and ready to go. And yet, none of them stand out for success, over the past decades and into this LLM bloom.

The way to riches there is just like during the gold rush: The people making money are the ones selling shovels and canteens and wheat, not the ones running sluice boxes.

AI is no panacea.

clinton-1 and clinton-2 are distinct. I think it's more likely collected differently. The people gathering data will change. Someone with different data standards worked there for a while.

In the sibling photo in the index is a comparison of Hubble vs Webb.

Hubble is very brown-y, and Webb is much more blue.

But these are false colors, and they capture different light. It has to be an artistic decision to make it blue, vs brown, so does anyone here know the rationale? Is it to distinguish the different provenance? Is the color shift indicative of the captured spectrum difference? Is it a convention of the sensor? Is it a 2020s fad?

Accurate headline: "The credentials on a Tesla account are used to operate one's car. You can steal a car by tricking someone into giving you their credentials."

Giving them the benefit of a doubt, it could be a first (or half) step in adding a level of security around credit information. It wasn't long ago that they were breached (not though user identity checking! by a software vuln!) and they're probably still smarting from it. Maybe this is part of a half-baked auth scheme or notification system.

The APK is a thin shell that downloads even more code to execute, from the internet. So, what you download and inspect isn't what's executed, and what you execute now might be different in 5 minutes.

Beware that DJI's software to control these craft is super sketchy to install and use. It doesn't exist in the Google Play Store, to avoid inspection.
