*The AWS Security Agent, currently available in preview, performs context-aware penetration testing without human intervention, analyzing design documents, source code, and internal security policies to build customized attack plans. According to AWS, the tool can complete penetration tests in hours rather than days, addressing what the company describes as a widening gap between software release frequency and security validation capabilities* https://www.perplexity.ai/page/aws-unveils-ai-agent-to-automa-4OQBuPeiRxmIcbBvmQ7mNw

*Bitcoin ...does not measure time from an assumed continuum, it constructs time through irreversible, energy-expending events. Block time is not sampled from a continuous background but produced as the discrete unit of temporal ordering itself. In radioactive decay, discrete events are fitted to a continuous time; in Bitcoin, the events are the time.* View quoted note →

*Bitcoin does not assume time; Bitcoin computes time. It produces a discrete, thermodynamically anchored ordering of events that behaves analogously to physical time: irreversible, energy-bounded, and globally consistent. This makes Bitcoin the only system that provides an observable model of quantized time.* View quoted note →

Researchers estimate that a 21-centimeter-thick layer could meaningfully reduce radiation exposure on Mars. However, experts caution that substantial engineering challenges remain, including maintaining fungal growth in microgravity and developing containment systems.Despite decades of research, scientists have yet to definitively prove radiosynthesis. No one has demonstrated carbon fixation dependent on ionizing radiation or identified a complete energy-harvesting pathway. "Actual radiosynthesis, however, remains to be shown," notes a team led by Stanford University engineer Nils Averesch https://www.perplexity.ai/page/chernobyl-fungus-shows-promise-6cKxxCkQQVumMFWZS1t1Dw

*Over time, the creator optimizes for retention: more hopium, less doubt. If they suddenly became fully objective, their audience would either leave or revolt. That's the prison* View quoted note →

*If the universe evolves through discrete quanta of time, then “simultaneity” collapses conceptually: states cannot coexist “at once” if the universe only updates in discrete increments unless they occur at the same Planck Block of Time. Without a defined temporal substrate, the claim that quantum computers manipulate “many states at once” is not physics but an interpretative convenience. It’s equivalent to treating a prediction domain as a physical storage medium. This is the fractional-reserve ontology: unredeemed probability is treated as physically real capacity.* View quoted note →
