#Hegseth calling Anthropic a supply chain risk is a lie, and libelous.
No, there's no qualified immunity for explicit, outright, damaging lies. It's not a matter of opinion. It's not an interpretation.

Linux and other hacky stuff: HPC, scheduling, data science, quantification/observability. Also, consciousness and neuroscience and progress-oriented politics.
"AI Factory" is just a stupid name. These things already had a name: "cluster". That name is better because it actually describes what it is. "AI cluster" is a good name. "Hyperscale cluster" is a good name.

Isn't the American appetite for being dominated by authoritarians odd?https://www.instagram.com/tommysiegel/p/DT-1lEND52d/?hl=en

Tommy Siegel on Instagram: "Drew this parody Gadsden flag back in 2020 and it seems to be making the rounds again — I’m re-launching flags, tees, and stickers for preorder as a result, with 100% of profits going to @communityaidnetworkmn . I tried to retire this flag back in 2024 but it’s sadly *still* relevant due to MAGA’s limitless bootlicking abilities as their daddy Trump ramps up state executions with his personal touring gestapo! And by the way, if you were a Trump voter — it’s time to get off the Trump train if you care about this country! Never too late! 🇺🇸"

Why aren't countries leaning into the UN - yes, in response to Trump's knockoff version. Is it because UN is multilateral, not, as Carney pointed to, "polylateral"? #MarkCarney #UnitedNations #NATO #PostTrump #InternationalRelations

The Greenland situation forces us to think on how to coordinate without the US - "NATO-1" so to speak. Perhaps this is an opportunity to improve the membership and geography, since AU, JP, KR and some others should probably be included.
I think willing, nearby countries should each have their rapid-reaction forces prepared to be invited by Denmark to deploy to Greenland. DK-led force of 10k should be doable. I hope #Canada will participate.
Times Radio interview on Iran: inflation is an invisible tax.
That's absolutely true. It's also a flat tax (thus regressive and mainly hurting lower deciles). It's also a subsidy of borrowers, since the borrowed amount when repaid is worth less.
Regressivity is interesting, but subsidizing borrowers is also notable and generally undesired (think speculators, rent-seekers).
I really liked this article - maybe the political composition of academia is not interesting in itself, but many other topics are touched on. Especially the notion of how to improve teaching - which to me orbits about "affordances" for learning.

I think most Canadians haven't quite reached the point of active disengagement. Closing their gmail, FB, etc. My dayjob still relies on google, duo, cloudflare, and I don't perceive any appetite for change. Perhaps just us wimpy academics?
