Ugh

This is absolutely true. But trying to explain to ordinary people how percentages works makes you sound like a pretentious egghead.

That’s a big part of Trump’s magic: his lies are so egregious that correcting them makes the corrector sound a bit crazy.

Ukraine’s Plan to Starve the Russian War Machine Negotiations have stalled. Trump keeps changing his policies. Ukrainians, backed by Europeans, are taking matters into their own hands. ​​​

Back in September, I wrote about Ukraine's long-range drones. Now that they are regularly and accurately striking Russian refineries and oil infrastructure, I think it's worth reading again, for those who missed it. Gift link:

Palantir vuole più armi AI e meno uguaglianza, ma ora rischia di perdere milioni Alex Karp pubblica 22 punti su X tra AI militare e culture "disfunzionali". Deputati di Lib Dem, Labour e Green chiedono revisione dei contratti con NHS, difesa e polizia.

Perfetto così.
Sinceramente, che Palantir si fotta.

Book cover: The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War On Democracy by Gil Duran

Coming soon:

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

In a sane administration, the FBI Director doesn’t go on the morning news to prove he’s not a drunk, the Defense Secretary doesn’t quote Tarantino to prove he’s a man of God, and the President doesn’t take multiple cognitive exams to prove he’s not insane.

La corazzata putiniana M5S - Fatto - Lega ha avviato la campagna di propaganda per tornare ad acquistare gas russo. Sono scatenati. Ieri Descalzi, oggi Travaglio e Appendino. Borghi ogni giorno. Sembra l'assedio a Fort Apache.

Io trovo sinceramente sconcertante che il presidente di Confindustria non abbia capito che "chi ci sta governando in Europa" sono le interazioni e i veti tra stati nazionali, non la Commissione.

Not Even Noise-Cancelling Headphones Can Block This Bicycle Bell | Carscoops Skoda designed a new bike bell that slips through active noise cancellation using a specific frequency gap that most headphones cannot suppress

As more people walk around with headphones, a new bicycle bell is designed to cut through noise cancellation to keep cyclists and pedestrians safe.

It gets worse. The app's "too many attempts" lockout is just a counter in a text file. Reset it to 0 and keep guessing. The biometric check (face/fingerprint) is a simple on/off switch in the same file. Flip it to off and the app skips it entirely.

An attacker can delete a couple of entries from a file on the phone, restart the app, pick a new PIN, and the app happily hands over the original user's verified identity credentials as if nothing happened.

‼️🇪🇺 The EU's new Age Verification app was hacked with little to no effort.

When you set it up, the app asks you to create a PIN. But that PIN isn't actually tied to the identity data it's supposed to protect.

"The problem is that LLMs inherently lack the virtue of laziness. Work costs nothing to an LLM. LLMs do not feel a need to optimize for their own (or anyone’s) future time, and will happily dump more and more onto a layercake of garbage."

Dr Trump at work

His absolute arrogance juxtaposed to his (deliberate) ignorance, total lack of self-awareness & pathological lying leave me speechless.

This is not only a government of the clueless, it’s a government of malignant narcissists.

So many of them in one administration. Astounding.

Il problema di fondo di troppe cose che si dicono oggi: non si valutano in quanto utili ma per quanta immagine e visibilità producono. Così non c’è futuro.

Yeah. I think Vance might wanna reconsider this Catholic thing.
I don’t think it’s working out for him.

Aspe, provo a riformulare Mattè:

"Non dobbiamo rispettare il patto di stabilità che il nostro stesso governo ha sottoscritto due anni fa modificando quello precedente. Ci servono mancette per la campagna elettorale".

Così va meglio.
