Top adviser to supreme leader dies in hospital following Israeli attack
Ali Shamkhani, Iran’s top adviser to its supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei,
has died in the hospital a day after Israel launched airstrikes across the country.
Shamkhani had previously served as Iran’s top national security official for a decade and had represented Iran in the China-facilitated rapprochement talks with Saudi Arabia

REAL ENEMIES is an evening-length, multimedia, jazz-fueled exploration of American paranoia. This innovative marriage of music-theater and hybrid nonfiction marks the first collaboration between composer Darcy James Argue, filmmaker Peter Nigrini and writer Isaac Butler, who together chronicle a shadow history of post-war America that may—or may not—be true.

It seems like, again, just following the plain logic of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence (which, again, I do not subscribe to), that every law passed under Trump, every supreme court justice appointment by Trump, every supreme court ruling by Trump appointed justices, all the illegal firing, etc, must all, necessarily, be null and void.
And if not following from the insurrection act, or from the oath of office, then following from the Declaration of Independence itself. The logic here being that a constitution is a contract between the people and their government, which the later upholds in order to maintain its legal status. The violation of said laws by the government violates "consent of the governed" (which, again, I have issues with the concept entirely but we're just going to ignore that) and therefore nullifies the authority of that government, granting " the right of the people to alter or to abolish it."
That seems a lot like the hard reset some folks have been looking for. Given that existing flaws allowed this state to be reached, it would also be necessary for the true authority to correct those mistakes before assuming authority that derives from these principles.
Now, personally, I don't subscribe to any of this logic but it's interesting to explore, as an outsider, where the logic goes.

You’re a player character. Your job is to run towards the explosions or, failing that, to cause some. Sane people flee from danger, but then again, sane people are boring. #ttrpg #subtoot

Product idea announcement:
Securing your company's most important digital assets of the 21st century: [productA] transforms your most valued AI prompts into blockchain-secured NFTs.
(Yes, I feel dirty to have come up with such an idea. But I won't be the only one coming up with such 💩, and by posting it I can later tell people "See? ProductB is just plagiarism!". I don't have any plans to make such a product. If your moral code allows you to do it to exploit …

As data speeds increase, it has become crucial to detect problems as they happen. At this year's Berlin Buzzwords, Olena Kutsenko explained how to build a real-time anomaly detection system using Apache Kafka for streaming, Apache Flink for processing, and AI for pattern recognition, covering Apache Iceberg for storing historical data to improve models.

Automata Models for Effective Bug Description
Debugging complex systems is a crucial yet time-consuming task. This paper presents the use of automata learning and testing techniques to obtain concise and informative bug descriptions. We introduce the concepts of Failure Explanations (FE), Eventual Failure Explanations (EFE), and Early Detection (ED) to provide meaningful summaries of failing behavior patterns. By factoring out irrelevant information and focusing on essential test patterns, our approach aims to enhance bug detection and und…
