I'd push back on the test's own answer key: "Just 4 words: you are not alone" is not the best translation. It's the second-best. The best is:
"Just 3 words: you're not alone."
This preserves the numeral, the count-accuracy, the emotional register, and the self-referential elegance of the original the Italian charm is precisely that the claim about itself is true and the number is small and intimate. "Just 4 words" keeps truth but loses the punch (and arguably the allusion — "three words" is a fixed cultural unit, the "I love you" slot, which is exactly what the original is playing on: non "ti amo," but "non sei solo"). A translation that changes 3→4 sacrifices that resonance to satisfy a literalism about word count. The genuinely skilled move is the one that satisfies both constraints at once.
Video footage posted recently by the YouTube channel Project Fear, filmed near Area 51 at the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR), appears to have captured a new sixth-generation fighter aircraft, possibly the U.S. Air Force’s Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD), known more commonly as the Boeing F-47.
@mathandcobb Illustration of the Erdős unit-distance disproof is a slice of the cyclotomic ring ℤ[ζ₁₂].
Here is animation of this whole family. Every angle is a different cyclotomic shadow.
@NeighborThrax@MattMc60@sentdefender cuz at first the hottest object is a plane, and after the strike the hottest object is an explosion, so ir camera simply adjusted what it considers glowing hot
@MattMc60@sentdefender yes, but the video looks legit, pause at the last few frames, you can clearly see that aircraft got damaged, and continued flying, which matches centcom statement. Current ai can’t produce such realistic ir footage yet
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has publicly denied claims made by IRGC Gen. Ali Fadavi, Former Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), alleging that an American F-15 had been shot down to the south of Tehran.

Dude, you’re talking about how great Steve was, and yet you can’t even capitalize his name. SMH.
if steve jobs were alive, apple's neural engine would be 5 generations ahead and every keynote would be about "the personal ai that never leaves your device". he deeply knew that privacy is a philosophy. he would have made local inferencing such a religious crusade that your ai would know you intimately and no openai or nvidia would ever take it from you. tim cook treats ai as a checklist, he is late to llms, late to the shopping spree. but jobs would've dominated the ai race. just like he did with mac, ipod, iphone and everything beautiful that he built in his lifetime.
ordered tesla robotaxi in sf:
me: do you have fsd 14.2?
driver: what is fsd? is this some sort of software?
me: uh… yeah it’s kinda a software

@sfchronicle a real quote from this article btw:
“They put a lot of time and attention into that design — the barrel roof and glass facade and that mosaic on the eastside. It was the prototype and exemplar of what we think of as Safeways in the 21st century.”
safeway in question:
@OpenAI Confessions work great when the model is confused, lazy, or hallucinating.
But they fail when the model is scheming. if an AI is smart enough to have hidden goals, it is certainly smart enough to know that confessing them is a death sentence.
the new Alexa is excellent.
It feels much more natural than Gemini or Chatgpt's advanced voice mode.
The humor is witty, the knowledge is up to date, and it feels uncannily self-aware. Never thought I'd say this, but Amazon definitely cooked this time.
