RT @historyinmemes: The world’s first video game, played on its original 1957 hardware.

In October 1958, physicist William Higinbotham developed what is widely recognized as the first video game, Tennis for Two, to entertain visitors at a public exhibition at Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Unlike later digital consoles, the game ran on a Donner Model 30 analog computer and displayed graphics on a five-inch oscilloscope. Players controlled the action with custom aluminum controllers featuring a knob to set the ball’s angle and a button to hit it over a simulated net.

While earlier electronic creations like the 1947 Cathode-Ray Tube Amusement Device or 1950’s Bertie the Brain existed, Tennis for Two is notable as the first game designed purely for entertainment, rather than research or technical demonstration.

Although the original hardware was dismantled in 1959, and no intact version survives, modern replicas have been built to celebrate this groundbreaking moment in gaming history.

Exactly

Irony:

The longest talking filibuster ever was in 1964 when Democratic Senators spoke for 60 days continuously to block the passage of the Civil Rights Act

Debate was forced. It lasted 60 days. The bill passed.

By contrast, if Sen. Thune (majority leader) simply allows *silence* to block the passage of the SAVE America act, he is failing 84% of Americans

This is the most important item on the legislative agenda, bar none.

Even if it takes 60 days, it's worth it to secure elections and ensure only American citizens vote

Thune can require a talking filibuster rather than a silent one without **any** rules changes

RT @wil_da_beast630: 100 men?

Even in high school, it was hard getting 10 guys together if we had to fight another squad. It was hard getting ten guys together for a BASEBALL GAME.

Do you know ONE man you could invite over for some rape or domestic violence?! What type a' animals are we dealing with here?

RT @tetsuoai: Just asked the 16 Grok 4.20 Heavy agents to build me a GLSL shader, no libraries. Alien bioluminescent ocean floor. Hydrothermal vents, caustic light, rising particles, layered noise terrain. Mouse = underwater flashlight. 60fps. Collapsible control panel with uniforms.

It cooked.

>>> grok 4.20 heavy prompt

Build a single HTML page with a full-screen GLSL fragment shader rendered via WebGL. No libraries raw WebGL setup with a full-screen quad. The shader should render an alien bioluminescent ocean floor imagine deep sea hydrothermal vents with pulsing organic light. Use layered simplex/value noise for undulating terrain, glowing particles rising like volcanic embers, caustic light patterns rippling across the surface, and color palettes shifting between deep indigo, electric cyan, magenta, and molten gold. The mouse position should act as an underwater flashlight illuminating nearby terrain and revealing hidden details. Include a subtle camera drift so it feels like you're slowly gliding over the seabed. Everything should be smooth at 60fps. Add a small collapsible control panel in the corner with sliders for: glow intensity, drift speed, color temperature, and particle density these should feed into the shader as uniforms. The page background should be black with no scrollbars.

Years ago, I made a crypto wallet but missed writing a few seed phrase words. This account has a measly 40$ but I keep asking AI to try opening it for fun

Grok 4.1 spent 6 days of trying and failed
Grok 4.20 cracked it in 492 seconds, correctly
