This is weird, is the source reliable ? (btw if all EU countries were to spend at least 5% of their GDP in defense, they would together make China & the US into military dwarves. This is a level of spending that does not make any sense.)

Smaller Governmint was said to taste like toothpaste or Noxzema shave cream. Nutty Environmentalist and Iraqi Road won some minor compliments --though they were noted as ''chalky.'' As for I Hate the French Vanilla, one taster summed it up: ''The French are on to something.''

En même temps donner l'image de la toute puissance fait partie des buts de la communication. Très clairement ils ont une bonne visibilité mais elle est possiblement à nuancer.

Dans l’absolu j’aimerais autant me tromper et que le programme nucléaire soit terminé pour de bon hein, mais disons que les plans militaires qui postulent une stupidité totale de l’adversaire me laissent en général vaguement sceptique.

I love you all, thank you. I have about ten books on deadline before I finally get to write my uplifted naked mole rat sci-fi novel, but by god, someday it shall be.
Also I’m starting to think that more sci-fi novels need to be based around advanced heat pump technology.

I think it's a beautiful dream, but I also think Terry Pratchett was the most right about human nature, and in particular, this quote.

Even today, in the SaaS/cloud world, a big part of keeping control and indepedance revolves around open source software and technologies that can be run locally or on any cloud platform m. This is the realm of weird, ad-hoc, highly customized system built and maintained by experts.

it will produce worse output, but I do think folks should be super clear here too: what he is talking about is explicitly creating a propaganda engine

We need more topology memes. Also I tried to follow a course on the physics of heterogeneous materials. They have 16x16 matrices. And they do unspeakable things with tensors too.

Israël dégringole au classement mondial de la liberté de la presse 2025 de RSF, atteignant la 112e place sur 180 pays, loin derrière les démocraties occidentales qu'il prétend incarner.

En l'occurrence c'était un vol commercial qui participait au passage à l'événement aéronautique parce que pourquoi pas. (l'accident à contribué à instaurer plus de rigueur dans la préparation des plans de vol chez Air France, entre autre.)

idk about other areas as they’re not areas I worked in, etc, but in terms of global HIV/AIDS control, USAID/PEPFAR did so much good and I’m particularly worried about Malawi (weak economy, highest incidence of HIV globally, the university I worked at did so much there and idk what will happen with

I worked in clinical trials from 2020-2023 in a lab associated w a university focusing on HIV (and also covid; a lot of labs that work on covid are HIV labs) and USAID did so much great work in terms of access to antivirals for people living with HIV www.reuters.com/business/hea...

This is exactly me in front of my computer, realizing there is a Kingfisher book that I haven't read (yet).

Faut m'imaginer, la premiere fois que je le revois depuis plus de 10 ans, essayer de lui expliquer avec beaucoup trop d'efforts didactiques que sa démo ne m'impressionne pas car cette jolie map était gratuite il y a 6 mois sur Unreal, et surtout pourquoi rien ne va dans ce qu'il me dit.

Je connais quelqu'un de très charismatique convaincu de ca, responsable de l'explosion de deux studios, et dont je me tiens le plus éloigné possible. Aux dernières nouvelles, il va révolutionner les hack&slash avec un stagiaire et beaucoup de genIA et il aurait bien aimé m'avoir dans sa team.

I'm completely not in this field at all but I felt that when an evangelist told me very confidently it was impossible for a non believer to have any "spirituality". Okay... Are we exactly sure about definitions here? (tbf evangelists are not exactly the most self reflecting people)

There are people who are loath to acknowledge the death toll from USAID and PEPFAR cuts, because it would mean acknowledging that the US government can be a source of good in the world.

The idea that the Republican party is swooping in to pick up "heterodox thinkers" kicked out by "mean leftists" is false.
Republicans are brutal on any party member who votes against healthcare bans.
They're brutal to a beer company just for having a trans influencer. They sent bomb threats!

It's still a pretty clumsy comparison because genAI is actually doing a lot of evil behind the scene whereas Superman does his genuine best, which makes artists an Lex completely different.

Artists work hard to create meaningful stuff while the thing creates random crappy shit that everyone loves and calls art. That artists would be right and Lex wrong does not change anything from a character building point of view.
