One thing I think about is how flat-earth types could convince themselves, without having to trust anyone, their model of the earth is wrong. I don't think the earth is flat, but it is an interesting problem in #epistemology.
A model needs to explain observations if it is to be believed.
Lately, I've been thinking about day length as seasons change, and how cycle is opposit…

L'économie russe va mal, et tant mieux
legrandcontinent.eu/fr/2025/03

Économie russe : pour la première fois en 2025, le pétrole et le gaz ne compenseront plus l’explosion des dépenses militaires (+90% en trois ans de guerre) | Le Grand Continent
Depuis le début de la guerre à haute intensité en 2022, l’économie russe a profondément changé. Poussée par l’augmentation nette des dépenses de défense (+90 % depuis 2021), la part du secteur public dans la création de valeur ajoutée brute au sein de l’économie russe a augmenté de plus de 18 % depuis fin 2021, alors que celle représentée par les soins de santé a diminué de plus de 5 %.

America Is Becoming the World’s Largest Tax Haven - Roosevelt Institute
Donald Trump is quickly turning the United States into the greatest tax haven in history. One need only note the Treasury Department’s mandate to withdraw from the transparency regime that shares the real identities of company owners, the administration’s withdrawal from negotiations to establish a UN Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation, its refusal to enforce the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and massive crypto deregulation.

I guess there's no real need to explain why I'm doing this, but there's always someone who was lucky enough to be living in the jungle for a while (or something like that), disconnected from everything.
Hypothetical jungle person: I envy you.
Summary: I'm tired of big corporations stealing everything they can to train their #LLMs, and I'm also tired of companies like #Microsoft being active collaborators of the Trump regime.

Can the ai components (NPU) of new processors be used for non-ai work?
What I'm thinking is along the lines that the vector-processing components of GPUs have also been used to speed up non-graphic mathematics on large arrays.

"The Tax Foundation is a veteran anti-tax campaign organization from the United States. It has been around since 1937 when it was founded by top brass from companies such as Standard Oil and General Motors. Close links to some of the biggest corporations in the US has been a constant feature of the organization, as has its political aim of bringing down taxes"

Opaque US anti-tax foundation to advise EU Commission | Corporate Europe Observatory
A US think tank that recently opened a Brussels office to lobby for aggressively lower taxes is received with open arms by the Commission. But who is behind the organisation, and who funds it?
