Today in 1962, the United States conducted TIGHTROPE—its last fully-atmospheric nuclear test—as part of Operation Fishbowl. A Nike Hercules SAM was fired 69,000 feet into the sky, where its W31 warhead exploded 2 miles south-southwest of Johnston Island with a reported yield of 10 kilotons.

The white missile is mounted on a green rail launcher and titled at about a 45-degree angle toward the partly cloudy sky. A soldier in a green uniform at right leans on a large green metal box adjacent to the launcher. A screenshot from an official color film showing the TIGHTROPE explosion milliseconds after detonation as a glowing ball of plasma in the sky. A screenshot from an official color film a few milliseconds later showing the TIGHTROPE explosion expanding into a glowing ring or torus. A wide-view color map showing showing the location of Johnston Island in the North Pacific Ocean, about 825 miles southwest of Hawai'i.

Gleichzeitig hat ein großer Personenkreis insbesondere in der DH null Probleme damit all ihre Artikel und Konferenzankündigungen mit KI-Bildern zuzukleistern; für andere Berufe ist die Reduktion auf beliebigen Einheitsmüll gut und billig, zum Glück sind wir ja so wichtig dass uns das nicht passiert

Es heißt hier ja immer wieder, wegen LLMs könnten/müssten die armen Studis nun von Fleißarbeits-Hausarbeiten und Essays befreit werden, aber ich habe jetzt in 7 Jahren Geschichtsstudium nie einen Text geschrieben bei dem ich mir keine Nische im Seminarthema suchen konnte die mich interessiert hat?

This essay argues – based on previously unpublished and in part unknown sources from the Adenauer papers in Bad Honnef-Rhöndorf and the Federal Defense Council – that the Chancellor did not (!) pursue a deliberate policy of unilateral nuclear armament. 🧵 1/

happy 810 enhancement kit, print ad, atari 400/800 (1983) archive.org/details/soft...
illustration: a little boy chewing on a floppy disk (or eating pizza and using a floppy disk as a plate?), a disk drive blowing up (mushroom cloud style) and spitting out a damaged disk. a man wearing an atari t-shirt, hear on end yelling expletives (symbols) and also 'no!'. ad text headers: atari 400/800 users how to survive a bombing. more text: if you have irreplaceable programs on executable disks, you need to protect your investment with a back-up. not only against the common elements that can ruin your programs, but also against unforeseen and unusual dangers...like a spilled drink or an overly zealous puppy. now, thanks to the happy 810 enhancement kit, you can make unlimited copies of all of those valuable programs in your personal library. the kit is not only a completely automatic hardware and software system for personal or business use, it reads all format type disks at an incredibly rapid pace. plus, it can write to an uninformed disk, increase the speed of data transferred from your computer to your 810 disk drive up to 3x, thus preventing wear and tear, and it can act as a diagnostic for rpm's and ram check. all in all, the-easy-to-use and easy-to-install (you just pop it in) happy 810 enhancement kit, with optional compactor (loading up to 4-6 programs per disk) is the ideal safeguard for atari 810 users. so pick one up at your local computer store or call us directly for more information. once you have the happy enhancement kit, you won't explode when your program bombs. software asylum, inc. 626 roosevelt avenue carteret, new jersey 07008 (201) 969-1900 we are the largest stocking distributor of the 810 enhancement kit, compactor, multi-drive, and customizer programs. dealer inquiries invited. *atari 810 is a trademark of atari inc

applying for jobs again
screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."
