Disbarring lawyers should be augmented to economist working for goverment clients. It'd make the world a better place.

Months ago I spoke to a friend of mine about a certain 1930ies vibe in the air. Today it feels like 1929 and 1933 are merged into 2025. May we make smarter choices this time around.

Interesting. Gas prices in Russia is up 10% the last month according to autotraveler.ru/en/russia/tr.... Crude has been a bit volatile lately so careful with strong statements. But there might be a correlation with Ukraine's refinery/fuel production l drone campaign.

WAS: Die Zinsausgaben des deutschen Staates sind heute (relativ zum BIP) nicht einmal ein Drittel dessen, was es in den 1990ern war.

Israel seizes Golan buffer zone after Syrian troops leave posts PM Netanyahu said the 1974 disengagement agreement had "collapsed" with the rebel takeover of Syria.

8th of Dec: "Israel's prime minister has announced its military has temporarily seized control of a demilitarized buffer zone in the Golan Heights"
29th of Jan: "Defense Minister Israel Katz says during a visit to the Syrian side of Mount Hermon today that the IDF will remain there indefinitely."

I disagree. But I think we can rest assured that software developers (including AI) will find ways of spending any performance hardware vendors can come up with. But the distribution of compute may very well change.

We have a gold rush. Gold has been found on claims where you'll need heavy equipment. Now it appears you can find gold with a shovel. This changes barriers to entry and thus both claims and heavy equipment vendors needs reevaluation.

I am not a fan of CVSS either. I would prefer a somewhat objective way of scoring vulnerabillities, but CVSS in my opinion does a poor job of it. Having 100 levels of severity is outright bullshit. It suggest accuracy in estimating severity that just isn't there.

May the force be with you.
