US National Security Strategy: The multipolar world has finally emerged. Dominate the Americas, respect China, undermine Europe, ignore India, retreat from the Middle East, dont give a damn for Africa. These are the true headlines of the new US National Security Strategy

@UnderSecPD Do you think it‘s okay that your President calls female journalists „piggy“ and tries to silence them? Asking for a German Journalist who enjoys Freedom of speech and who lives in a country where no Head of state would insult women in such a disrespectful way.

Magnesiacore. Indoor Pool Drywall and Ceilings is a True Marine Wallboard. When it comes to indoor pools, natatoriums, or other enclosed spaces with high humidity and the moist chemical exposure it entails, you need a construction board that can withstand these elements.

Elon is much better at building companies than he is at understanding international contracts. The EU does not impinge on any sovereignty. It has many flaws, but this isn't one.
The EU should be abolished and sovereignty returned to individual countries, so that governments can better represent their people

Separate reports by the publicity firm Edelman and Pew Research show that Americans, and more broadly large parts of Europe and the western world, do not trust AI and are not excited about it. (Links in original text, below.) Despite the AI community’s optimism about the

I experimented with some Claude prompting to help triage ffmpeg crashes. It worked to some extent. I then merged these changes into Raptor, because it makes no sense for them to live alone somewhere. If you have lots of fuzzcrashes, and an x64 box that can run rr, give it a try.
Introducing RAPTOR, an Autonomous Offensive/Defensive Research Framework based on Anthropic's Claude Code, written by @dcuthbert, @halvarflake, @mbrg0, and myself. Let's rock. Get it from GitHub, here:

It is absolutely clear to me that large language models represent the most significant scientific breakthrough of the past fifty years. The nature of that breakthrough has far reaching implications for what is happening in science today. And I believe that the entire scientific

There's a spirit of revival stirring in America. Dinesh D'Souza's new film, The Dragon's Prophecy, is part of that movement. Based on Jonathan Cahn's No.1 bestseller, the film reveals how war, politics and the Bible converge in a way that we need to make a choice. Watch on GJW+.

Phenomenal piece in the FT talking about all of the regulatory obligations that come with the EU's "single market" which is ostensibly about reducing commercial frictions. And how national regulations designed to reduce waste end up creating new waste. https://t.co/7mJVN6ebSB

This person blocked me for criticizing a book, so I can't answer in the thread. For clarity: I never said it was mathematically wrong—I said it was wrong about mathematics, how it works, and its relationship with formal logic.

Man, this interview is great. I was not a huge fan of Ilya in the past, but seriously this is just great.
The interview with Ilya Sutskever (@ilyasut) seems to imply that he, too, has read "Descartes Error":
