IIRC, in this sci-fi novel, Google(?) shredded whole university libraries and vacuumed the shreds into a pipe where multiple cameras did multispctrum snapshots and restored high-res, multispectrum pictures of the pages. One medium university library took a day or two

Can California address the Prop 65, too?
19 meters in diameter? Nah, not worth naming it
GatGPT5:
Short answer: a 19-meter asteroid is “Chelyabinsk-class.” It almost certainly explodes high in the atmosphere (an airburst) rather than making a crater. Think spectacular fireball, a very loud shock wave, lots of broken windows—and mostly local damage.

Do you mean 310K will melt it? 8O
I did not, but ChatGPT 4o did and explained it to me:
ChatGPT said:
The joke "Noah: What's a qubit?" plays on the similarity in sound between "qubit" (a concept from quantum computing) and "cubit", an ancient unit of measurement famously used in the biblical story of Noah’s Ark.
Here’s the breakdown:
In the Bible, Noah is instructed to build the Ark with specific dimensions given in cubits.
A cubit is a historical unit of length, roughly the length of a forearm (about 18 inches).
A qubit, on the other hand, is a quantum bit, the basic unit of information in quantum computing.

I thought PyTorch is Meta/Facebook
We used an abacus back then
Computers can figure out all kinds of problems, except the things in the world that just don't add up.
