We had $630,000 of elite Blueprint creatine stolen earlier this year. Thief used a fake ID and drove off with the delivery truck. Some of you put in heroic efforts to help us find the person. We got very close. A new batch just came off the line. I may embed myself this time. Quoting @bryan_johnson Update on $630,000 creatine heist. A creatine wholesaler saw my post and reached out.

By the overgrown orchard, we're doing cartwheels in the tall grass, the summer din gone with the holidayers returning to reality, the entire island is ours, every crooked apple tree, every shriveled blackberry, every dead leaf; endless time in an empty world, all ours. Back aboard, a gust of wind stirs the ashes in the woodstove and brings to mind the old fires by the beach, breathing through the collar of a thick sweater, warming my hands around a cup of tea and, most of all, shoegaze. Autumn is approaching in more ways than one. And still, we'll be doing cartwheels in the tall grass. wiki.xxiivv.com

I'm fascinated by the laurel forests of La Gomera, one the Canary Islands. They're full of different species of trees with shiny, waxy leaves. Mosses and lichens grow on the branches, and the ground is covered with a green mantle of dripping ferns and liverworts thriving in the permanent damp. The place has a mysterious, prehistoric air. The lower altitudes of this island are deserts, but the upper parts catch fog, known locally as "horizontal rain" (lluvia horizontal). Near-constant northeasterly trade winds carry moist Atlantic air that condenses into a persistent low cloud layer. This "sea… Related

Creator of the Keras deep-learning library and the ARC-AGI benchmark.
I hope the proposals by frontier labs to pace AI research stem from a genuine concern for safety and a recognition of the potential risks posed by future models, rather than a strategic effort to consolidate power and permanently solidify the market dominance of a few top players. If these efforts are genuine, then oversight must take a more democratic and accountable form, with both national and international components, similar to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in the US and the International Atomic Energy Agency internationally. If there is only one organization responsible for safety m… energy Related

If you enjoyed this one (or the original), Rift Wizard 3 is like it but better.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the

quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
