I regret to inform you that lasers are mostly not soft
Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

"[Derived from] the abbreviation XOR (exclusive or) which is often used in computer programming. The term is used to describe a logical comparative operation which 'flips' each of the bits in a binary number … Inversion as a technique is also the central means developing the basic material in Exor."

"Apart from the outright denial of atrocity… there is also a more oblique type of liberal historical whitewash – one that acknowledges atrocity but only as a singular episode and only as an exception to a supposedly benign rule."

I very much disagree with @whstancil.bsky.social on this - how are you going to oppose ICE and the Trump administration if you don't understand that this *is* indeed who you are as a nation and that what we're seeing today is the culmination of a long history of American violence? 1/
People who say this are clearly speaking aspirationally about a shared American creed they hold dear. “Have you heard of the Trail of Tears?” is not a very helpful response, because they probably have and the priority right now is moral opposition to fascism and not fake-educating each other.

the thing is that Chinese espionage is much less competent than people often think, a lot of it is bumbling provincial policeman stuff or MSS guys trying to use the same techniques overseas as at home. but that doesn't matter if your opposition is led by Kash Patel.
