“Researchers measured autistic people against neurotypical expectations and called every difference a deficit. They tested empathy by measuring in-group preference and missed commitment to universal fairness. They measured creativity by counting the number of ideas and missed originality. They saw moral consistency and called it rigidity. They saw deep engagement and called it rigidity. They saw sensory richness and called it disorder.”

What the World Got Wrong About Autistic People

For decades, autism research compared autistic people to animals, denied them moral sensitivity, and assumed autistic traits made them miserable. All wrong.

Anthropic's developers made an extremely basic configuration error, and as a result, the source-code for Claude Code - the company's flagship coding assistant product - has leaked and is being eagerly analyzed by many parties:

The problem with historical myopia is it means you are taken by surprise when things happen that have been part of regional security calculations for years/decades.

As Arshin Adib-Moghaddam (SOAS) points out, Iran has been claiming sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz for a long time, as well as threatening to close passage through the Strait, so no-one should have been surprised that under direct attack it would do that very thing!

Iran has been threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz for years – it’s a key part of Tehran’s defence strategy

Iran has used its ability to close the waterway many times over the past 40 years.

WHAT A DISGRACE.

Not a single mention of Israel in the UK Government's "independent" review into foreign interference in British democracy. No surprise given that the minister in charge has taken undeclared links to a pro-Israel lobbying group.

Palestina és el bressol de la civilització.

Abans de l'arribada dels bàrbars israelians des d'Europa tenia trens, ports, ciutats, agricultura, ciutats mil·lenàries i fronteres obertes que la connectaven amb Europa, Àsia i Àfrica, amb el món.

En menys d'un segle els invasors estrangers han convertit el Llevant Mediterrani en un infern de guerra, caos, mort i ruïna continua. Sense ni un dia de treva.

Quan els colons se'n vagen, podrà retornar la pau, la independència i la prosperitat.
