hey what's up anons didn't see this in notables and forgot until now but yesterday Vivek was on Maria Bartaromo's Sunday show and he said that he would, if elected president, ask Trump to come on board as an advisor because "HE KNOWS WHERE THE BODIES ARE BURIED".

i find it fascinating that he using a well known Q phrase like that. i just did a quick search but didn't find it. i'll keep looking and post next bread if i can find a clip.

getting closer!

China's ancient water pipe networks show they were a communal effort with no evidence of a centralized state authority

A system of ancient ceramic water pipes, the oldest ever unearthed in China, shows that neolithic people were capable of complex engineering feats without the need for a centralized state authority, finds a new study by University College London researchers.

In a study published in Nature Water, the archaeological team describe a network of ceramic water pipes and drainage ditches at the Chinese walled site of Pingliangtai dating back 4,000 years to a time known as the Longshan period. The network shows cooperation among the community to build and maintain the drainage system, though no evidence of a centralized power or authority.

Dr. Yijie Zhuang (UCL Institute of Archaeology), senior and corresponding author on the paper, said, "The discovery of this ceramic water pipe network is remarkable because the people of Pingliangtai were able to build and maintain this advanced water management system with stone age tools and without the organization of a central power structure. This system would have required a significant level of community-wide planning and coordination, and it was all done communally."

The ceramic water pipes make up a drainage system which is the oldest complete system ever discovered in China. Made by interconnecting individual segments, the water pipes run along roads and walls to divert rainwater and show an advanced level of central planning at the neolithic site.

Georgia Court Claims Trump RICO Document Was "Fictitious"

Update (1820ET): Fulton County's Office of the Court Clerk has issued a statement claiming that the RICO docket against former President Trump which was posted to their portal and subsequently deleted - and which was tweeted and reported on first by Reuters (along with a link to the Court's portal), was "fictitious."

The statement reads:

Special Purpose Grand Jury Update The Office of the Fulton County Clerk of Superior and Magistrate Courts has learned of a fictitious document that has been circulated online and reported by various media outlets related to The Fulton County Special Purpose Grand Jury.

While there have been no documents filed today regarding such, all members of the media should be reminded that documents that do not bear an official case number, filing date, and the name of The Clerk of Courts, in concert, are not considered official filings and should not be treated as such.

Media members can expect to be notified of any/all filings in real time and will be provided access to filings via equitable communication.

As the official custodian of various county records, the Clerk of Courts understands the sensitivity of all court filings, especially those that arc at the forefront of the national spotlight and remains committed to operating with an extreme level of efficiency, accuracy, and transparency.

Despite fails, ChatGPT wins showdown against Stack Overflow

In the early 2000s, computer hobbyists could walk into any of nearly 700 Barnes and Noble bookstores and find aisle after aisle filled with manuals on programming, coding, design, the internet and virtually any other topic even remotely related to computing. Scores of magazines supplemented this sanctuary for computer addicts.

Those rows have all but disappeared since those days, due to the way users now obtain information. Digital books and internet resources have largely replaced those stacks of books.

One key resource that has contributed to the decline is Stack Overflow, an highly respected online community of 20 million registered users who share advice and solutions to questions on all aspects of programming. Since its inception in 2008, participants have asked more than 24 million questions and received more than 35 million answers.

But the much-admired site has taken a hit this year, a victim of the spiraling popularity of chatbots such as ChatGPT, though Stack Overflow is still an indispensable resource for many.

An analytics firm reported in May that Stack Overflow had suffered several straight months of drops in traffic averaging 6% since the first of the year. In April, there was a 17.7% drop from March numbers.

Are defectors flocking to ChatGPT making a wise move?

According to a new study from Purdue University, "Who Answers It Better? An In-Depth Analysis of ChatGPT and Stack Overflow Answers to Software Engineering Questions," it may not be the best decision.

Researchers found what many already suspected: A significant number of ChatGPT's answers to programming questions were inaccurate or flat-out wrong. Ironically, however, when subjects were asked to compare responses from Stack Overflow and ChatGPT, 40% said they preferred ChatGPT's responses. Why? Because of the "comprehensiveness" and persuasive "articulate language style" of ChatGPT's answers.

Researchers said that 52% of 512 ChatGPT responses to questions were incorrect. Disconcertingly, among the responses preferred by test participants, 77% were wrong.

Even when ChatGPT's responses were blatantly wrong, 2 out of 12 subjects still preferred ChatGPT's answers over Stack Overflow's.

According to Samia Kabir, one of the paper's authors, "Participants ignored the incorrectness when they found ChatGPT's answer to be insightful. The way ChatGPT confidently conveys insightful [even if incorrect] information gains user trust, which causes them to prefer the incorrect answer."

"It is apparent that polite language, articulated and text-book style answers, comprehensiveness, and affiliation in answers make completely wrong answers seem correct," Kabir said.

The researchers noted that large language models have the potential to upend old ways of obtaining programming information. Users seeking help obtain invaluable feedback from a community of experts on sites such as Stack Overflow. But those sites often require a wait of hours or days before solutions are obtained.

ChatGPT can deliver complex coding instructions in seconds, and it will engage in human-like conversation to explore questions in depth.

But knowing the capacity of chatbots to acquire and propagate erroneous information "introduces risks for non-expert end-users who lack the means to verify factual inconsistencies," Kabir said.

Concern over the potential to contaminate informational pools with false data led Stack Overflow earlier this year to bar any response obtained by ChatGPT.

The Purdue researchers termed the preponderance of incorrect answers "alarming." They urged ChatGPT to go beyond the brief disclaimer it posts on each response advising users of the potential for error and specify a level of incorrectness and uncertainty.

"It is imperative to investigate how to communicate the level of incorrectness of the answers," the researchers said in their report, published on the preprint server arXiv on Aug. 10.

"AI is most effective when supervised by humans," the report adds. "Therefore, we call for the responsible use of ChatGPT to increase human-AI productivity."

DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPONS: COUNTER DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPONS AND HIGH ENERGY LASERS

https://www.nre.navy.mil/organization/departments/aviation-force-projection-and-integrated-defense/aerospace-science-research-351/directed-energy-weapons-cdew-and-high-energy-lasers

Directed energy weapons (DEWs) are defined as electromagnetic systems capable of converting chemical or electrical energy to radiated energy and focusing it on a target, resulting in physical damage that degrades, neutralizes, defeats, or destroys an adversarial capability. Navy DEWs include systems that use High Energy Lasers (HEL) that emit photons, and High Power Microwaves (HPM) that release radiofrequency waves. The U.S. Navy uses DEWs for power projection and integrated defense missions. The ability to focus the radiated energy reliably and repeatedly at range, with precision and controllable effects, while producing measured physical damage, is the measure of DEW system effectiveness. Conversely, capabilities to increase the resilience or survivability of platforms or Sailors from DEW threats are part of the Counter Directed Energy Weapons (CDEW) program.

The Office of Naval Research has three weapons-oriented research concentration areas: High Power Microwaves (HPM); Ultra-Short Pulse Laser (USPL) and Atmospheric Characterization; and Counter-Directed Energy Weapons and High Energy Lasers (CDEW & HEL).

Research Concentration Area: CDEW and HEL

High energy lasers (HELs) lasers and high-power microwaves (HPM) systems as weapons have been under investigation since the 1960s and 70s. As an example of naval platform survivability and self-defense against small boat threats, the Office of Naval Research developed and tested the Maritime Laser Demonstrator (MLD), the first laser weapon system operated at sea. ONR and NRL later worked collaboratively with the Naval Sea Systems Command on the Solid State Laser Quick Reaction Capability Program (SSL-QRC) to actively deploy the first military HEL, the Laser Weapons System (LaWS) on the USS Ponce. Today, HEL research continues to offer breakthroughs in performance for continuous wave (CW) laser weapons.

The Counter-Directed Energy Weapons (CDEW) Program was initiated in response to the rapid development of high energy lasers (HEL) and high-power microwave (HPM)/high- power radio frequency (HPRF) threats being developed by potential foreign adversaries. The ONR Counter Directed Energy Weapons (CDEW) research program expands the understanding of the known sciences through both research and component testing to increase survivability and self-defense capabilities for U.S. Navy platforms. Directed energy weapons technology advancements and proliferation has raised the urgency of developing low-cost CDEW technologies for rapid deployment to Navy units. The ONR CDEW program addresses emerging directed energy threats in an operational, maritime construct containing three layers of defense: DEW detection, DEW effects mitigation, and unit protection.
