Am no expert at running blogs – so you have probably already done this cache stuff. I have a WordPress Dashboard and a Hostinger Dashboard.

I regularly clear anything with the word cache in it—on both Dashboards.

Hostinger also has a PageSpeed Insights tool – Website speed test that tests how fast site is for Desktop and Mobile devices.

Search Labs | AI Overview – My website is slow loading comments from commenters:

If your website is slow to load comments from users, the likely culprit is either a problem with your server configuration, excessive data processing on the backend when loading comments, or inefficient coding within your commenting system, which could be caused by factors like: heavy database queries, lack of caching, large image uploads in comments, or too many plugins/scripts affecting the loading process; you should investigate your server performance, database optimization, and review the code of your commenting system to identify bottlenecks and implement improvements.

Other AI’s had similar and/or more details – I tried CoPilot, ChatGPT, Gemini, & GROK…

First-degree assault is a serious criminal charge typically applied when a person intentionally causes serious bodily harm to another person. In some jurisdictions, it may also refer to an assault that involves the use of a deadly weapon.

The specific definition of first-degree assault can vary depending on the jurisdiction, but it typically includes acts such as intentionally causing another person to suffer a serious physical injury, such as a broken bone, organ damage, or disfigurement.

Never faced a First-degree assault charge, tho my thumbs and fingers have been in plenty of eye sockets – never removed the eye tho—since a digit in the socket usually ended the fight.

Brooks had been serving a 12 year prison sentence for first-degree assault since 2017, according to the department.

He had arrived at the Marcy Correctional Facility only hours before the beating, after being transferred from another nearby state prison, officials said.

Brooks seems to have done about 7 years on a 12 year sentence, so he’s caused trouble during his sentence and/or is a repeat offender still causing trouble. Had he recently caused trouble—hence ‘being transferred from another nearby state prison’? Article doesn’t say.

Cops have a tough job. Prison guards deal with convicts as their job – 🙂 – Tough job also. Prisons have ‘GOON Squads’ for inmates who want to fight Prison guards. Bad idea to fight Prison guards in their prison, IMHO.

Horrific bodycam footage shows New York prison guards beating inmate Robert Brooks to death as he’s restrained

I saw the handcuffed inmate still attempting kicks, so he wanted to fight a Prison ‘GOON Squad’. ‘Course, a real Prison ‘GOON Squad’ would’ve had Brooks subdued from head to toes in a matter of seconds, so he would’ve been unable to bite, strike, or kick. Ditto on the Bad idea to fight Prison guards in their prison…

That was my understanding too, but alas, it’s not so simple:

US efforts to curb advanced chip exports to China haven’t exactly stopped the restricted chips from entering China, according to a new investigation that found an underground network of over 70 sellers who claim to receive dozens of the AI chips every month.

NVidia has repurposed its GPUs (graphics processing units) for AI and is now the top dog supplier of AI chips.

If China played by the rules, they would be shut out of cutting-edge AI development. They have no choice other than to beg, borrow or steal these chips.

China also has energy problems and AI is a ferociously hungry beast for electricity.

But they have no choice. AI is a big, I would say the biggest, factor in the future.

The site has been doing some weird things lately and I don’t know why. For me, every now and then it’s slower than usual, but most of the time it’s much faster than usual. I have no idea what’s going on. I communicated with my host, and they don’t know either but think it has to do with periodic attacks by bots or something like that.

Chips being developed here today are in the 2 nanometer range, China is reportedly stuck at the 11 nanometer level.

And, due to various bans on selling the Chinese chips and chip making equipment, according to reports they have to buy used, older chip making equipment from overseas and, even then, these massive, very expensive and intricate machines need constant supervision, adjustment, and maintenance, which is supplied by foreign experts, who are reported to be exiting China.

It is very hard to really know where China is technologically, because of all of the propaganda they put out, claiming all sorts of technological progress when, in fact, a lot of the things shown are apparently GCI generated fakes, prototypes which are never ready for or put into production, or just a facade–you are shown some piece of technology but it doesn’t contain any actual mechanism, it’s just a hollow shell.
