OK then I'm more inclined to buy this as relevant. bsky.app/profile/vlad... Though now I hear whether Xi is getting rid of people resisting invasion or people too corrupt / ineffective to fight is an open question. (Maybe to all sides.)

1) detailed specific case of a general principle I've been talking about for years – concentrated wealth = #inequality increases volatility by decreasing regulatory interdependence. 2) can you really force @anthropic.com to do anything? Wouldn't everyone just leave? No moat because no castle.

Sorry, did China just do that, or do you mean they'd need to do that?

that wikipedia page says its already rebooted? technologyandsociety.org/member-resou...

I was told CPSR had this mostly blank poster saying "code for the US nuclear program" and a little square in one corner saying "how much has been tested." If this existed, would love to see that a) at all b) linked to the @wikipedia.org page.

Alcaraz and Sabalenka were not allowed to wear these during the most recent Aus Open but I'm sure it's fine to wear when you're starting a war 🙄

Push from Saudis, Israel helped move Trump to attack Iran President Trump launched a wide-ranging attack on Iran after weeks-long lobbying by an unusual pair of U.S. allies in the Middle East: Israel and Saudi Arabia.

Apparently pushed by the third. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Yes

Surprise. Same thing happens when eg @yoshuabengio.bsky.social goes on about AGI (but with less justification).

At his 1st inauguration where he looks back and she beams then he looks forward again and she frowns — it turned out she wasn’t faking for him like many suggested, she thought he was looking at her but then realised he was looking at his daughter.

She’s walking (in a nearly $6k gucci she changed out of black for after they both unprecedentedly skipped the inauguration) while he’s waving. Shot is of her dress not him.

evoke.ie/wp-content/u... I think this is the image I remembered but from 90o rotated so he’s waving to the camera but she’s out of there. But also found video, looks like she was just going to the far side of the car and someone made hay out of it.

Wtaf — is Trump afraid of losing her? Remember her striding off like “this is so over” after the helicopter or whatever landed after or during Biden’s inauguration?

This is the one bouncing around my head. Not sure how much it helps with sanity

#Centralisation spreads responsibility thin; #autonomy concentrates it. In the European Journal of Political Economy, Ferraresi, Herrmann, Loiacono, Rizzo & Secomandi find that where town halls keep and manage most #tax the result is higher #income.

I’d never known what a dark place those lines came from.

Just want to note that 3am in Washington is like 11:30am in Tehran. The American people are the ones he snuck up on in the dead of night to conduct this illegal attack, not the purported enemy.

Nobody has more experience in countering Shahed drones than Ukrainian forces. The US, Israel and the Arab states in the Middle East should request their knowledge, instantly. The fact that Iranian Shahed drones can hit high-value targets of US forces rather easily is very telling.

International law — here the UN Charter, the prohibition on the use of force against other states with the narrowest of exceptions — is enforced through the outrage of other states.

It is how the world responds to violations that will determine whether these rules continue to stand.

I’d like to know what Carney meant by sovereignty and territorial integrity and the rules-based order when he spoke these words just one month ago.

My understanding is that Anthropic is the only cutting-edge LLM currently permitted inside classified networks, via partnership with Palantir.

This is actually genuinely very much not good for stability and not-killing

"We're going to hold ourselves accountable as well," Hegseth said in the video. "As a final message to our warriors, the Ivy League faculty lounges may loathe you, the so-called elite of academia may mock your patriotism and disdain your sacrifice, but never forget that we the War Department have your back."

Fuck you, Pete. I’ve taught social theory to career officers whose shoes you aren’t fit to shine.

Are you coming to Berlin?
