This was overall a disconcerting read.
Epstein, meanwhile, had more direct plans for the actual “Epstein Brain” — as in, his literal brain. He reportedly sought to preserve it through cryogenics, frozen upon death to be reanimated at a later point, along with his penis. Epstein likely wanted to do this for selfish reasons; with his brain and genitalia well-preserved, he could return to the material world which death releases humans from, and then reattach his most prized possessions to a new body years after his demise. But perhaps he sought to do this for noble reasons too — to gift humanity with ideal “models,” ones to be studied, replicated and used as a reference to mold lesser brains and penises into. Whatever his intentions, they likely died with him in 2019. The concepts and ideologies that shaped them, however, live on.
Lol... wut
What do people think of Rootstock? Figured I may as well ask here. I read some Whitney Webb article a while ago that there are a lot of nefarious social programs being rolled out on Rootstock in South America, but it seems like a good way not to "pollute" the BTC chain while still being an L2 / bitcoin-adjacent?
I shared a Citrea link because it seemed like cool tech, didn't realize these things were that hated. :|

Actual value of the hack seems to be much higher as the same exploit was used on various L1s from contracts based on the Balancer contracts. Looks like over 100 million

I know Javascript gets a bad rap but over time it's grown on me, especially with Typescript improvements when you need typing. I used to only code in C/C++ and I really like how quickly you can prototype something quickly in Javascript, especially with Node.js/npm libraries
Springer is a big deal, I saw a deal with them. They're privately held too, so less likely to disclose all the terms.
Cool, thank you. I should have googled myself before asking. For anyone else that's curious, I came across this:
Can you link/speak more about these deals with publishers? I'd be curious to read about scope of the deals
Also, based on a skim I did the other day of the current patterns, many publishers allow not-for-profit scanning and indexing for machine learning purposes. So there will likely be open source efforts that don't get sued as long as they open source their models and don't charge for them as products.
