They increased the code space alloted to the year enumeration, but only by two. This will cover all of the years through 9999 The next crisis will be forthcoming in the year 10,000.       Work on this impending doom will be put off until the last minute, as a goodly portion of the current systems will crash soon anyway. Attempts have been made to keep this from the public domain to prevent panic in the streets. High level conferences are now taking place to ascertain where to place the blame and to ready press announcements to calm public fears.

We examine the sudden appearance of the mysterious MV Ocean Trader, a covert US special operations ship disguised as a civilian cargo vessel but equipped with Navy SEALs, helicopters, assault boats, and intelligence facilities. From nighttime combat swimmer insertions and helicopter assaults to Iranian missile batteries, fast attack boats, and swarm tactics in shallow waters, we break down what a real operation against Iranian territory could actually look like. The stakes are enormous, because if Kharg Island falls, Iran could lose the economic lifeline that keeps the country running.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a class='ExternURL' href='https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/this-us-ghost-ship-is-carrying-navy-seals-and-they-re-headed-to-iran/vi-AA23u5pN?ocid=socialshare' target='_blank' &gt;msn.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35521674</link><pubDate>5/18/2026 11:47:05 PM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Savant] Saipan, Tinian     71,000 US troops invaded these islands - then they found the ...</title><author>Savant</author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt;Saipan, Tinian   &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;71,000 US troops invaded these islands - then they found the nuclear launch site&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hidden deep in the Pacific Ocean, the Northern Mariana Islands played a massive role in some of the darkest moments of World War II.

But with a clever design using wheels and a propeller, this machine extracts energy from the moving air in an unexpected way. Instead of acting like a sail, the propeller pushes air backward, allowing the vehicle to accelerate beyond wind speed.

This size was considered substantial for a chocolate bar at the time, catering to consumers looking for a satisfying treat. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&amp;amp;&amp;amp;p=d5b97e2c9290a13ba2f5f481d1a923a31ecb3abb67e8c14d0548dee3701ae867JmltdHM9MTc3ODk3NjAwMA&amp;amp;ptn=3&amp;amp;ver=2&amp;amp;hsh=4&amp;amp;fclid=06da4595-fac8-65e9-1f8d-50adfba76411&amp;amp;psq=Hershey+Bar+size+chart+over+the+years&amp;amp;u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly9zaXplbGxvLmNvbS9oZXJzaGV5LWJhci1kaW1lbnNpb25zLw&amp;amp;ntb=1' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mid-1900s Adjustments&lt;/b&gt;: As the years progressed, particularly during the mid-1900s, the size of the Hershey bar began to shrink. This was a response to market demands and the need to keep prices low. By this time, the standard Hershey bar had reduced in size to approximately &lt;b&gt;1.55 ounces (43 grams)&lt;/b&gt;, which remains the standard size today. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&amp;amp;&amp;amp;p=d5b97e2c9290a13ba2f5f481d1a923a31ecb3abb67e8c14d0548dee3701ae867JmltdHM9MTc3ODk3NjAwMA&amp;amp;ptn=3&amp;amp;ver=2&amp;amp;hsh=4&amp;amp;fclid=06da4595-fac8-65e9-1f8d-50adfba76411&amp;amp;psq=Hershey+Bar+size+chart+over+the+years&amp;amp;u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly9zaXplbGxvLmNvbS9oZXJzaGV5LWJhci1kaW1lbnNpb25zLw&amp;amp;ntb=1' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;b&gt;Current Dimensions&lt;/b&gt;: The modern Hershey bar measures about &lt;b&gt;6.25 inches (15.9 cm) long&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;2.25 inches (5.7 cm) wide&lt;/b&gt;, and &lt;b&gt;0.3 inches (0.76 cm) thick&lt;/b&gt;.

These variations allow Hershey to experiment with different sizes and ingredients while catering to diverse consumer preferences. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&amp;amp;&amp;amp;p=eac5936eafdf90eadafc3b4224c6e535921e4d4ba7367d2698f84d24482aefc8JmltdHM9MTc3ODk3NjAwMA&amp;amp;ptn=3&amp;amp;ver=2&amp;amp;hsh=4&amp;amp;fclid=06da4595-fac8-65e9-1f8d-50adfba76411&amp;amp;psq=Hershey+Bar+size+chart+over+the+years&amp;amp;u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvSGVyc2hleV9iYXI&amp;amp;ntb=1' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;b&gt;Economic Influences&lt;/b&gt;: The size of Hershey bars has also been influenced by economic factors, such as fluctuations in cocoa prices. During times of rising costs, Hershey has adjusted the weight of its bars to maintain price points, often decreasing the size when necessary. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;Conclusion&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hershey_bar' target='_blank'&gt;While there is no specific chart available detailing the sizes of Hershey&amp;#39;s bars throughout history, the information indicates a clear trend of initial larger sizes followed by gradual reductions to meet market needs. The standard Hershey bar today is a compact and convenient option that has remained popular among consumers for over a century.

They call it the Mongolian Death Worm, and it’s said to be a long, red, slimy thing that can spit venom or even shoot out electric shocks! Locals have been telling stories about it for ages, saying it hides under the sand and only pops out to attack its prey. Scientists haven’t found solid proof it exists yet, but the mystery keeps adventurers and researchers hooked. Some think it’s just a legend or maybe a misidentified snake, while others swear it’s real. Whether it’s fact or fiction, it’s one wild story from one of the world’s most desolate places!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='https://www.msn.com/en-us/video/animals/the-mystery-of-the-gobi-desert-monster/vi-AA1WZpqS?uxmode=ruby&amp;amp;ocid=edgntpruby&amp;amp;pc=ACTS&amp;amp;cvid=6a08f37a27954977a339a52580d82fc4&amp;amp;cvpid=3f153c8910f44fe0f5b73989258ed950&amp;amp;ei=42' target='_blank'&gt;The mystery of the Gobi Desert monster | Watch&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35520646</link><pubDate>5/17/2026 8:23:03 PM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Savant] The story works - until you look at the quarry marks  Ancient Egyptian sites con...</title><author>Savant</author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt;The story works - until you look at the quarry marks&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ancient Egyptian sites contain massive granite columns, obelisks, and blocks that clearly show signs of being quarried, shaped, and transported with remarkable precision. Yet according to the traditional narrative, the tools available at the time—primarily copper—would not have been capable of cutting such hard stone. Even more puzzling, quarry marks found on these structures closely match those seen at known extraction sites, suggesting a consistent method was used. What begins as a question about tools quickly turns into a deeper contradiction: if they couldn’t do it, why is the evidence everywhere? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a class='ExternURL' href='https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/the-story-works-until-you-look-at-the-quarry-marks/vi-AA21tDl8?ocid=socialshare' target='_blank' &gt;msn.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35520643</link><pubDate>5/17/2026 8:13:14 PM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Savant] New Antarctic find leaves researchers warning something is very wrong  A new dee...</title><author>Savant</author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt;New Antarctic find leaves researchers warning something is very wrong&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A new deep-ice scan has revealed something beneath Antarctica that scientists never expected to confront.

Eric Burlison (R-Mo.).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;    Nordics are a race of highly-human-like creatures who, despite being from a far-flung planet, closely resemble people northern Europe here on planet Earth.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Reptilians are scaley skinned lizard-like creatures with human limbs, long tails, who walk upright, experts in the field speculate.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Grays are small, massive-eyed, hairless creatures — classically depicted in films such as “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;    Insectoids are bug-like humanoids, sometimes referred to as Mantids because they resemble a praying mantis, Ufologists speculate.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Former Air Force Intelligence officer and UAP Task Force member David Grusch testified under oath in Congress in 2023 that the US was in possession of “non-human biologics” recovered from dozens of crashed UFOs.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;    Those claims were based on testimony from members of the supposed crash retrieval program which was detailed in Farah’s film “Age of Disclosure,” which premiered in March.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“I’ve talked off the record with some people who are involved in recoveries,” Farah told Bartlett on Thursday’s podcast, adding: “They would not go on camera to do interviews.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;     &lt;span style='color: rgb(42, 42, 42);'&gt;“One I thought was going to do an interview and then a couple days before sent me a message saying ‘After further consideration and long talks with my wife, I decided I’d be forfeiting my life if I participated in your interview,’” Farah said.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style='color: rgb(42, 42, 42);'&gt;“One I thought was going to do an interview and then a couple days before sent me a message saying ‘After further consideration and long talks with my wife, I decided I’d be forfeiting my life if I participated in your interview,’” Farah said.&lt;/span&gt;      &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src='https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/05/2011-127886441.jpg?w=1024'&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35519789</link><pubDate>5/16/2026 2:44:42 PM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Savant] Docs call for GLP-1 warning label due to 'very dangerous' risk</title><author>Savant</author><description /><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35519781</link><pubDate>5/16/2026 2:31:55 PM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Savant] Samsung To Unveil Smart Glasses In Weeks, Beating Apple, Report Claims  A new re...</title><author>Savant</author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt;Samsung To Unveil Smart Glasses In Weeks, Beating Apple, Report Claims&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;A new report suggests Samsung is preparing to launch AI-capable smart glasses, potentially preempting Apple in the market for such a device.

This theoretical physicist says yes, and he&amp;#39;s found it&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Key takeaways&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;EML Operator: A new function, eml(x, y) := exp(x) – ln(y), can theoretically replace all standard mathematical operations, from trigonometry to roots and logarithms.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Computational Implications: Acts like a NAND gate for continuous math, enabling symbolic regression and continuous optimization in machine learning and formula discovery.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Theoretical Proof-of-Concept: While intriguing, EML is currently impractical for humans or computers beyond six nested operations, serving mainly as a demonstration of what’s mathematically possible.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br&gt;    It’s not often a math paper goes viral, but a new preprint from a theoretical physicist at Poland’s Jagiellonian University has well and truly bucked the trend. Why? Because it seems to reduce all of math down to a single operation – no addition, subtraction, square roots, cos, sin, or tan required.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“Everyone learns many mathematical operations in school: fractions, roots, logarithms, and  &lt;a href='https://www.iflscience.com/teenagers-publish-trigonometric-proof-of-pythagoras-theorem-once-considered-impossible-76545' target='_blank'&gt;trigonometric functions&lt;/a&gt; […] each with its own rules and a dedicated button on a scientific calculator,” notes  &lt;a href='https://th.if.uj.edu.pl/~odrzywolek/homepage/index.html' target='_blank'&gt;Andrzej Odrzywoek&lt;/a&gt;’s new paper.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But “higher mathematics reveals that many of these are redundant,” he writes: “for example, trigonometric ones reduce to the complex exponential.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“How far can this reduction go?” he asks. “We show that it goes all the way: a single operation, eml(x, y), replaces every one of them.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Very simple; very complicatedImagine a calculator with only two buttons: 1, and something that says “EML”. It may not be easy or time-efficient, but from those two, you could feasibly reproduce any computation possible on a normal scientific calculator.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So what is this mysterious function? Well, “EML” is actually a very descriptive name: the letters stand for “exponent minus log,” and the operator looks like this:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;eml(x, y) := exp(x) – ln(y).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now, we’re really not kidding when we say this baby isn’t easy to use. If you want to produce the number 0, for example – pretty much one of the foundational bits of any mathematical system – you’d have to type this into your two-button calculator:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;eml(1, eml(eml(1, 1), 1))&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;… which is a mite longer than just pressing a simple “0” button, let’s face it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But to be fair, efficiency and ease for humans isn’t really the point. “The discovery was a side result of a larger project on exhaustive search, using methods known as symbolic regression,” Odrzywoek told IFLScience.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That’s an area of math – or, really, computer science – that is more like a treasure hunt than a brainteaser: it “seek[s] exact laws and formulas in data,” he explained.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You can think of symbolic regression methods as a kind of “backwards” math – you start with the end results and use symbolic regression to work towards the equation that produces them.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Except, by “work towards,” we mean “trawl wildly through a vast space of potential expressions until you find one that fits.” It’s not something you’d want to try as a human, basically.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But if you’re already deep in the theoretical computing weeds, why not keep going? “Along the way, I became curious about how small the basis for such a search could be,” Odrzywoek said. “EML was the answer.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The first step on an unknown pathOn the face of it, this is little more than a mathematical trick – a particularly neat one, to be sure, but nothing super helpful for day-to-day life.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But that’s really selling it short: Odrzywoek “is essentially proposing a ‘NAND gate for continuous mathematics’,”  &lt;a href='https://profiles.ucl.ac.uk/95169-martin-benning' target='_blank'&gt;Martin Benning&lt;/a&gt;, Professor of Inverse Problems in the Department of Computer Science at University College London, explained to IFLScience. A NAND gate is a type of  &lt;a href='https://www.iflscience.com/logical-circuits-created-slime-molds-24106' target='_blank'&gt;logic gate&lt;/a&gt; in computing that is "functionally complete," meaning any function can be performed with only this type of gate.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;(Benning was not involved in Odrzywoek&amp;#39;s project; his work focuses on inverse problems and continuous optimization, an area that is fairly close to the concepts in this paper, but that he stresses does not make him an authority on them.)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“By doing this, [he] turns what is usually a discrete and combinatorial search problem into a uniform continuous optimization problem,” Benning told IFLScience. “From the perspective of  &lt;a href='https://www.iflscience.com/tags/machine-learning' target='_blank'&gt;machine learning&lt;/a&gt;, that is an interesting and appealing shift because it allows us to theoretically use standard neural network training techniques to discover exact mathematical formulas from data.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WLt8_iYZQo' target='_blank'&gt;Open the Youtube video&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/could-all-of-math-be-reduced-to-a-single-operation-this-theoretical-physicist-says-yes-and-he-s-found-it/ar-AA21jMoU?uxmode=ruby&amp;amp;ocid=edgntpruby&amp;amp;pc=ACTS&amp;amp;cvid=6a00e171699e484db46c82f5a919c9d4&amp;amp;ei=8' target='_blank'&gt;Could all of math be reduced to a single operation?

It opens the door to a vast, until-now obscured chapter of ancient history. It lets a vanished society speak to us again, often after thousands of years of silence.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In this case, the voice comes from Elam, a Bronze Age civilization in what is now southwestern Iran. Linear Elamite was first discovered by French excavators at Susa in 1903. It’s believed the script was used between 2300 and 1880 B.C. It resisted decipherment for generations, partly because scholars had so little material to work with. Unlike cuneiform, which survives in hundreds of thousands of tablets, Linear Elamite survives in only a small corpus of inscriptions.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The breakthrough came when Desset gained access to a group of silver vessels held in a private collection in London. On them, he spotted the kind of clue that has unlocked scripts before: royal names.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;His “Ptolemy” was Šilhaha, an Elamite ruler from around 1950 B.C. The reference made here is to the Rosetta Stone. When Jean-Fran&amp;#231;ois Champollion deciphered Egyptian hieroglyphs, royal names such as Ptolemy and Cleopatra gave him a crucial foothold because he could match repeated symbols to names already known from Greek.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;From that repeated sequence of signs, Desset had the first firm sounds he needed to start reading the script.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The claim is both thrilling and disputed. Some scholars argue that Desset has gone too far, especially in describing Linear Elamite as a purely phonetic writing system. Others question the role of unprovenanced objects in the decipherment.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If Desset is right, Linear Elamite forces historians to look again at ancient Iran with fresh eyes — not as a fringe of Mesopotamia, but as one of the places where people experimented boldly with the written word.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Decoding of the Elamite script&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src='https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA229ZTJ.img?w=736&amp;amp;h=888&amp;amp;m=6'&gt;&lt;br&gt;One of the few surviving Elamite clay tablets.&amp;#169; ZME Science&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src='https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA229rd2.img?w=1012&amp;amp;h=674&amp;amp;m=6'&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Phaistos disk, discovered in 1908 during the excavation of an ancient Minoan palace in Crete, is one of archaeology’s great linguistic mysteries — bearing unknown inscriptions that have baffled historians for more than a century.

The late 19th-century discovery of Etruscan letters on the wrappings of an Egyptian mummy greatly increased the number of known inscriptions, and yet the writing system is still an enigma.

They were kept in a London safety deposit center, far from the soil where they had supposedly been found.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is where the trouble starts.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;    Not Quite a Rosetta Stone&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src='https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA229KN6.img?w=1012&amp;amp;h=766&amp;amp;m=6'&gt;&lt;br&gt;King Puzur-Sushinak inscription (Table au lion), in two scripts of Akkadian cuneiform and Linear Elamite. Ca. 2120 – 2100 BCE, Discovered in Susa, Louvre Museum.&amp;#169; ZME Science&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;    Egyptian hieroglyphs developed soon after in a world of kingship, ritual, and monumental display.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Both systems mixed signs for sounds with signs for words or ideas.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Linear Elamite may have done something entirely different.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In their conclusion, Desset and colleagues argue that at a time when Mesopotamian cuneiform and Egyptian hieroglyphs were mixed systems, “the Iranian plateau followed an original path in the history of writing” with what they call the oldest currently known purely phonographic writing system.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Their proposed grid has 77 values: five vowels, 12 consonants, and 60 syllabic signs.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That does not make Linear Elamite an alphabet in the modern sense. It is closer to an alpha-syllabary. But if the interpretation holds, it would push the history of purely sound-based writing back centuries earlier than many scholars assumed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It would also make ancient Iran central to one of humanity’s greatest inventions: the conversion of speech into symbols that can be etched on things&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A youtube video &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;    The Decipherment of Linear Elamite Writing | Dr Fran&amp;#231;ois Desset    &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcXsmPT3_74' target='_blank'&gt;The Decipherment of Linear Elamite Writing | Dr Fran&amp;#231;ois Desset&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35508561</link><pubDate>5/5/2026 1:03:54 PM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Savant] Something is happening with orcas at sea - The attacks are spreading  For years,...</title><author>Savant</author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt;Something is happening with orcas at sea - The attacks are spreading&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For years, orcas off the coasts of Spain and Portugal have been ramming boats, tearing off rudders, and even sinking vessels.

Among the  claims: Nvidia call options purchased before the CHIPS Act,  Visa shares sold before antitrust filings, and hidden classified  records allegedly found during an FBI internal review.  Congressional stock trading has been a bipartisan controversy  for years — but this hearing brought it to a breaking point.

Following the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and a series of strikes on IRGC leadership, internal fractures have emerged within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Reports indicate that a powerful faction of the IRGC is now demanding the Iranian leader&amp;#39;s resignation to prevent a total state collapse.    In this video, we analyze the 2025-2026 Iranian protests, the impact of record-high inflation, and the unprecedented IRGC mutiny that is threatening the core of the Islamic Republic. We examine the role of Reza Pahlavi, the recent internet blackouts, and the violent crackdown by security forces. Is this the end of the regime, or a prelude to a wider Iran war?
