How to bankrupt the U.S., U.K. and Europe? Suppose the ‘big beautiful bill’ is just a distraction (see BBC link attached): The actual plan is the beautifully simple part and a lot easier to follow. Trump’s capricious decisions are perfect for insider trading. Together, the oligarchs of the U.S. Confederacy with Putin’s oligarchs etc. go short or long to pump and dump on the people. The aim is simple, to secure the totalitarian world order for ultras stooges; the Trump’s and Netanyahu’s of this world and so protect the sovereignty of their corporate hydra and its programme of ecocide!#BigBeautifulBill #BigBeautifulCon #CounterfactualWorlds #hubris bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0eqpz

Xitter post from melon husk: “We will use Grok 3.5 (maybe we should call it 4), which has advanced reasoning, to rewrite the entire corpus of human knowledge, adding missing information and deleting errors. Then retrain on that. Far too much garbage in any foundation model trained on uncorrected data.”

»#Israel’s greatest threat isn’t Iran or Hamas, but its own #hubris.
A people whose entire existence depends solely on military might is destined to end up in the darkest corners of destruction, and ultimately, in defeat. «

Some words of wisdom from Israel, not many, but it's a start. They come from an Iranian Jew, now Israeli:

"A people whose entire existence depends solely on military might is destined to end up in the darkest corners of destruction, and ultimately, in defeat"

The article paints a grim picture of the Israeli political spectrum and of the Israelis delusions.

Forecasting isn’t guesswork—it’s grounded in structure, memory, and dynamics.

And hubris is not a substitute for statistical literacy.

Outgoing head of Reform’s ‘Doge’ urges party to avoid Musk’s mistakes

On Monday Yusuf and Fried arrived at Kent county council with an entourage of auditors, tasked with identifying and cutting wasteful spending. By Thursday evening, both had quit.

That did not take long! Ohne assumes the auditors are being paid so they are still there while the money lasts.

"By #DOGE’s own dubious accounting, $175bn of savings were made. According to #Treasury figures, spending overall in fact continued to rise. Despite tearing through the government’s most sensitive data systems Mr #Musk’s young engineers also failed to uncover much #fraud."

1/2 The supremacy of the USA, the USA's claim to power ... It helps to compare the geographical conditions and map distortions with the rest of the world from time to time to get a new perspective.

True size comparison: a very large country sits in the north of Canada in blue: it's France, only one part of Europe. On the African content are two parts in purple, alltogether much smaller than Africa. It's the USA with Alaska.

A scathing account of an elderly, egotistical president cocooned from reality.

“I don’t think it’s a completely unfair comparison to King Lear. The storm is coming and he’s in the winter of his life and he’s trying to vindicate himself but it’s too late. It’s impossible. He’s a walking risk factor for any Democrat who wants to win election next year.”

He, is .

#Anthropocentrism and human #hubris:

🚾 Yeah, humans invented #toiletPaper in the 2nd century in China and fabricate it in the Western world since the 19th c! Before/elsewhere, they used shitsticks, clay shards, stones, sometimes even water. Animals would never do this!

Wait.

🐵 Chimpanzees would never scratch their skin with broken shards - they use leaves after having a poo. And make their own medicine from plants. theguardian.com/environment/20

Tragic farce —
"Critics on the left and right warn of an emerging 'MAGA Maoism' — a movement that demands ideological purity, glorifies economic sacrifice, and embraces state power as a means to reshape society."

[No sacrifice for the "dear leader", by the way. He wants a full military parade on his 79th birthday — something every fascist and dictator dreams of.]

@kairos_jason hello!

Good observation! In the current system, we reserve one MPU region to prevent dereferences of addresses around physical zero, even in privileged code. This is intended to catch null pointer dereferences in the kernel, unlikely as they may be.

I felt we needed to do this because many ARM M-profile microcontrollers map valid memory around address zero, so dereferencing null silently succeeds.

If we maintained a separate set of MPU regions for the kernel and swapped them out at context switch, we could free up this region for use by tasks. So far we haven't tried this, and the processors we're using don't make it easy.

Send me any more questions you run into!

A quotation from Montaigne

We must be content with the light that it may please the sun to shed upon us by his beams; and he who shall raise his eyes to bring a brighter beam into his very body, let him not think it strange if, for the punishment of his audacity, he thus lose his sight.
 
[Il se faut contenter de la lumiere qu’il plaist au Soleil nous communiquer par ses rayons, & qui eslevera ses yeux pour en prendre une plus grande dans son corps mesme, qu’il ne trouve pas estrange, si pour la peine de son outrecuidance il y perd la veuë.]

Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
Essay (1572), “We Should Meddle Soberly with Judging Divine Ordinances [Qu’il faut sobrement se mesler de juger des ordonnances divines],” Essays, Book 1, ch. 31 (1.31) (1595) [tr. Ives (1925), 1.32]
