Silicon Valley Embraces New Breed of Bodyguards After Altman Attack, AI Backlash
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang cuts a distinctive image, habitually clad in one of his many leather jackets. But it wasn’t Huang’s outfit that caught the attention of another tech founder who saw him in Manhattan last year: it was the phalanx of security guards walking behind him. “He had a posse,” ...

The #BTS "Army" are mad because #LastFM banned 'bots' as they were scrobbling BTS 24x7 on multiple device balooning the number.
One user signed up in 2023 and had nearly 900,000 scrobbles which all of it was BTS.
Their feed showed that songs were replayed or played on multiple device…

Abstract: A method for measuring the altitude and particle size of noctilucent clouds, based on positioning and photometry from wide-angle three-color cameras, has been developed to determine the three velocity components, particle radius, and its derivative with respect to time for different cloud fragments. The updated method is applied to observational data of bright clouds during the summers of 2023-2025. Meridional motion of the cloud is found to be the principal factor driving the change in particle size. The effect of particle size evolution in the presence of a strong latitudinal temperature gradient is also studied.

Worked on a small hobby site yesterday that I had not really touched since refactoring it onto #11ty in 2023 and realised I had made a ton of mistakes and had not finished parts of it off! Still not finished but built better using 3 .json files with data in instead of 60 .md files. And also stopped the build function on Netlify - just deploys the files now and in only 6 seconds from a sync to G…

SpaceX's draft IPO filing: from 2023 to 2025, Starlink's individual subscribers rose from 2.3M to 8.9M, revenue grew from $3.9B to $11.4B, and ARPU fell 18% (The Information)

SpaceX’s Starlink Revenue Per User Fell 18% As Customers Quadrupled
SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet service quadrupled its individual subscribers between 2023 and 2025—but the average revenue each subscriber brought in fell 18% to $81 a month in that period, a draft version of SpaceX’s initial public offering prospectus shows. The decline in Starlink’s ARPU ...
