A nuclear waste container at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in New Mexico burst due to a chemical reaction caused by the wrong type of kitty litter. The incident led to a costly cleanup and raised concerns about the long-term safety of nuclear waste storage.
Sorted String Tables (SSTs) are a data structure that stores data on disk in a sorted and immutable way, taking advantage of SSDs' spatial locality and binary search capabilities. SSTs can be used for various use cases, including key-value storage, sorted rows, and secondary indexes, and are used in several databases and storage systems, including Cassandra, ScyllaDB, and Clickhouse.
AI coding assistants use a powerful LLM with a toolbox to execute tasks through a conversation loop. The LLM decides what to do and the code executes it, with the loop continuing until the LLM responds without requesting any tools.
The user modified a CASIO F-91W watch to enable contactless payments by adding an NFC antenna and a microchip, using various tools and devices such as the NanoVNA and Proxmark3. The user successfully tested the modified watch and plans to add features such as security enhancements and a second coil, while emphasizing the importance of responsible usage and ethical considerations.
