An up-to-date tally of #Trump followers turned #crypto #investors is in. And for them, the overall results are remarkably bad.
Nearly 1 million people who bought Trump’s #memecoin have lost money through the end of June, according to a report by the #cryptocurrency analytics firm Nansen. Their losses total $3.81 billion.

Happy Independence Day to all Americans except the ones who attacked the Capitol on January 6th, the people who supported and encouraged it, those who excused it, and everyone who elected them.

...A Tesla Semi was involved in a grisly crash earlier this week with two passenger vehicles that killed a married couple & left another critically injured...The couple...stopped at a traffic signal in their Volkswagen Beetle when the semi slammed into their car & another, from behind...As Electrek notes, #Tesla originally boasted that the Semi comes with Enhanced Autopilot...Emergency Braking...that’s supposed to stop the vehicle for obstacles...

Early in my career, I worked with someone who carried a Psion Organizer. (He had also worked for Apple and was fired by John Scully.) I later carried an Atari Portfolio, which I think was based on the Psion palmtop.
Fascinating. One of the earliest examples of machine learning.
"The Matchbox Educable Noughts and Crosses Engine (sometimes called the Machine Educable Noughts and Crosses Engine or MENACE) was a mechanical computer made from 304 matchboxes designed and built by artificial intelligence researcher Donald Michie and his colleague Roger Chambers, in 1961. […] This was one of the first types of artificial intelligence."

“Google wants a look at your hands before it lets you through. The company’s newest reCAPTCHA check, rolling out now as a test, asks you to switch on your camera and wave at it so an algorithm can decide whether you’re a human or a bot.
That wave is less casual than it looks. The system records a short video of your hand and pulls 21 hand-landmark coordinates from it, mapping your finger joints, your palm geometry, and the way you move in real time.
Google describes the purpose as liveness detection, a way for websites to fend off automated account creation, credential-stuffing, and other fraud. But this is still a biometric scan, collected so you can prove you’re a person and still involves turning on your cameras for Google.”

Peanut Heist
I sat and watched this red bellied woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus) fly back and forth between a bird feeder hanging from my fence and an oak tree in my backyard. While at the bird feeder, he would dig through the bird seed until he found a peanut then fly away. I tried several times to catch him in the act of flying away, most only caught part of him in the frame. This is one of two in which I had him all in the frame
making off with a peanut.
Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.
