  • Glad to hear all went well and you’ll be back at it next week! Thanks for the updates. Is Sandy going to another farm?

  • Kodak cautions there's 'substantial doubt' about its ability to stay in business

  • Really sad, but as someone said, they had their chance at digital and blew it.

    Along those lines, they were also interested in:

    Neutron imaging

    Starting decades ago, Kodak had an interest in neutrons, subatomic particles that can be used to determine the makeup of a given material or to create an image of it without damaging it.

    A steady stream of neutrons is needed for these purposes. Kodak used small research reactors, including one at Cornell University, and possessed a dollop of californium-252, a radioactive isotope that endlessly sheds neutrons.

    But it wanted a more potent in-house system, so in 1974 it acquired a californium neutron flux multiplier, known as a CFX. Small plates of highly enriched uranium multiplied the neutron flow from a tiny californium core.

    Kodak used it to check chemicals and other materials for impurities, Filo said. It also was used for tests related to neutron radiography, an imaging technique.

    The device was not much larger than a refrigerator and, in the one available photo, looked vaguely like Robby the Robot from a 1950s science fiction movie. To house it, Kodak dug a cavity below the basement level of Building 82, part of the company's research complex along Lake Avenue.

    Did you know? Kodak Park had a nuclear reactor

    GSA Announces New Partnership with OpenAI, Delivering Deep Discount to ChatGPT Gov-Wide Through MAS

    First-of-its-kind agreement accelerates AI adoption across federal government with $1 per agency pricing for ChatGPT

    WASHINGTON — Today, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) and OpenAI announced a landmark OneGov partnership to make best-in-class AI technology available to the federal government. With the deal, GSA has made available OpenAI’s ChatGPT Enterprise to agencies at a deeply discounted rate.

    The public-private partnership directly supports the White House’s America’s AI Action Plan and reflects GSA and OpenAI’s shared commitment to modernizing government operations, supporting federal employees, and helping deliver better services to the American taxpayer.

    “GSA is playing a leading role in the Trump Administration’s adoption of AI technology by government,” said GSA Acting Administrator Michael Rigas. “Our government’s effective use of AI is critical to demonstrating we are the world’s AI leader and we are thankful for OpenAI’s partnership.”

    “One of the best ways to make sure AI works for everyone is to put it in the hands of the people serving our country,” said OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. “We’re proud to partner with the General Services Administration, delivering on President Trump’s AI Action Plan, to make ChatGPT available across the federal government, helping public servants deliver for the American people.”

    “In support of the White House’s America’s AI Action Plan, GSA is making it easier for federal agencies to access powerful AI tools—improving the government’s productivity, efficiency, and ability to make better decisions on behalf of the American taxpayer,” said GSA Federal Acquisition Service Commissioner Josh Gruenbaum. “We encourage other American AI technology companies to follow OpenAI’s lead and work with us as GSA’s OneGov continues to modernize and streamline government operations.”

    Under this partnership, OpenAI will deliver:

    Universal Access to ChatGPT Enterprise: Every participating U.S. federal agency will have access for a nominal fee of $1 to ChatGPT Enterprise for one year. For an additional 60 day period, OpenAI will provide unlimited use of advanced models.

    Educational Tools and Training: Federal employees will have access to a new government user community and tailored introductory training resources. Custom training platforms and guided learning, either directly or through partner-led sessions, will also be available.

    GSA and OpenAI’s agreement directly supports OMB Memorandum M-25-21 [PDF], “Accelerating Federal Use of AI through Innovation, Governance, and Public Trust” and OMB Memorandum M-25-22 [PDF], “Driving Efficient Acquisition of Artificial Intelligence in Government.”

    Federal agencies can take advantage of this discounted pricing through GSA’s Multiple Award Schedule.

    About OneGov: GSA’s OneGov Strategy is a governmentwide approach to modernizing how federal agencies procure and manage common goods and services. OneGov supports President Trump’s March 20 Executive Order, Eliminating Waste and Saving Taxpayer Dollars by Consolidating Procurement by focusing on unifying acquisition, simplifying how agencies access technology, and strengthening strategic partnerships with industry.

    About GSA: GSA provides centralized procurement and shared services for the federal government. GSA manages a nationwide real estate portfolio of over 360 million rentable square feet, oversees more than $110 billion in products and services via federal contracts, and delivers technology services that serve millions of people across dozens of federal agencies. GSA’s mission is to deliver the best customer experience and value in real estate, acquisition, and technology services to the government and the American people.

  • Hopefully the “good stuff” you sprung for will kick in soon and she’ll be less resistant.

    I don’t know much about horses, but I suppose this would be equivalent to a human having an infection under a fingernail or? Bc that’d be super sensitive pain wise.

    So I take it she developed this since being at this farm? Could she get it again bc of conditions there?

    You know, we really do need her full backstory. Sweet girl has a fan base and we love her ❤️ I know I smile every time you post a Sandy pic.

    Also, if she needs anything else to help her live her best healthy life that you need help funding, I’m sure some of us would be happy to help.

    Thanks for being her champion and for sharing her with the Fediverse!

  • My bathroom was right at the top of a long staircase. When I'd be putting makeup on in the morning, Gilligan would bring me one of the small sponge balls from the living room and drop it just inside the door. I'd flick it down the stairs and he'd leap down 2-3 stairs at a time, find the ball and bring it back for the next round. He'd do it over and over again, every day. Miss that boy. Great post!
