"at the 'IT for IDF' conference, an israeli commander talked about how they specifically used Google, Amazon, and Microsoft’s cloud storage and AI services for the #genocide... The companies were praised for their AI services and the ability to rapidly purchase much more storage without having to physically build the servers themselves as the military had done before. [Amazon] in particular stores surveillance on almost everyone in #Gaza"

“Olo”, the super-green that’s more saturated than pure spectral green and so lies outside the CIE chromaticity polygon. The trick is to use a (frickin’) laser to stimulate only the green cones on your retina. It’s like we hacked your eye’s Bayer sensor. https://www.popsci.com/health/new-color-green/

The Trump administration appears to have escalated to the nuclear option with Harvard *by mistake*. Good thing they don't also have actual nuclear weapons at their disposal. Oh. Wait.
