It's been an incredibly slow churn to progress.

The most noteworthy thing at yesterday's hearing was a report on a Unclassified secret access program - Immaculate constellations which outlines types of UAPs and their behavior. The problem is it's brought in via an unverified source, either current or former member of the DoD. Also it's improperly formatted for a DoD doc. But that can possibly be explained via them editing it for public use. Otherwise it was mostly just what's already been known just told under oath in an official context. It also has a much greater emphasis on USOs(underwater UAPs).

The most interesting and ironclad to come from everything so far has been Schumer's Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Act of 2024 (UAPDA) which is attempting to get passed with the NDAA (Annual defense act). In the act it lays out the groundwork for UAPs existence and that the government is in charge of both reconnaissance and recovery of them, and most of the secrets are held behind the Department of Energy.

A lot of Chuck Schumer's comments and amendments play relatively safe though saying "if this exists" then here's a law. But there was also a lot of work put into a 2023 UAPDA with that NDAA and actually got shot down by Republican military industrial complex lackeys so take from that as you will.

The 2023 amendment was fought over heavily because it required a return of all classified uap biological materials and non biologics to be returned to the US government from private contractors. Which is another big bullet point.

I think the most news we'll get soon is whether the 2024 version of the UAPDA is included in the NDAA this year.

Yeah 3.5 was pretty ass w bugs but could write basic code. 4o helped me sometimes with bugs and was definitely better, but would get caught in loops sometimes. This new o1 preview model seems pretty cracked all around though lol

nobody out there has come up with a good way to permanently archive all that stuff

Personally I can't wait for these glass hard drives being researched to come at the consumer or even corporate level. Yes they're only writable one time and read only after that, but I absolutely love the concept of being able to write my entire Plex server to a glass harddrive, plug it in and never have to sorry about it again.

Swapping to new phones is really dreadful because of apps installs. It seems like the whole process is great EXCEPT app installs.

In the same vein Bloomberg just did a great study on ChatGPT 3.5 ranking resumes and it had an extremely noticeable bias of ranking black names lower than the average and Asian/white names far higher despite similar qualifications.

China is definitely not one of the highest polluters per capita. And that's also taking into the fact that most of the Western world is produced there.

Off topic question, don't you guys think splintering the Android community into multiple communities specifically for certain things when there are so few people on the Lemmy platform will lead to the instance becoming driy without content? Not sure if there's been discussion about this yet.

It's also important to note that Google is doing this already as well. It's almost impossible to use Google with my VPN provider as I'm slammed with 5 captchas every Google.

Utterly absurd contract

A month late but - Highly recommend Severance, it's fantastic and touches that same mystery as Dark all around phenomenal. Another really good one is The Devil's Hour. It's basically the exact same genre type as Dark, albeit the directing work is quite a bit more rough. The plot and is still really good though and I love Peter Capaldi.

Lots of people will hate me for this take but the best part of Twitter was its recommendation algorithm specifically between 2018-2021ish. The ability for everyone to meme about the same thing in the span of a few hours was fantastic and hilarious. I generally didn't give a shit about following famous people and have only been on Twitter for the meme culture.

Nowadays the algorithm is TERRIBLE though. I personally can't see myself moving to mastodon because I don't care about individual people though.
