Status update #0
We have been working on porting Rust to the CHERIoT platform for about half a year now. We have been busy with the implementation of fundamental features such as defining the new target, adapting the compiler to respect the nuances of a CHERI platform – starting with making the compiler aware that the size of an address is not necessarily also the size of the memory representation of a pointer – and making the core and alloc libraries compile to the newly-introduced CHERIoT target.

Musk and Altman Tussle Over Reports of ChatGPT-Linked Deaths
Elon Musk and Sam Altman traded barbs on X this week over media reports of deaths linked to OpenAI’s ChatGPT and other AI-related safety issues. On Monday, Musk shared a post about a man who committed a murder-suicide after a series of delusional conversations with ChatGPT, calling the story “diabolical” and saying that AI should “not pander to delusions.” On Tuesday, he followed up with

I've been playing around with agent-powered HTTP debugging -there's a lot of potential here... Even just with minimal data, Claude gets a really good understanding of flows very quickly, amazing for exploring.
A quick summary of overall traffic & state flow across ~160 requests & responses:

Ik kom er net achter dat Beth Gibbons (Portishead) in 2019 meedeed aan een uitvoering van Henryk Górecki's Symphony No. 3 (Symphony of Sorrowful Songs). Echt heel mooi (vind ik).
"Gibbons is not a powerful singer in the athletic sense—she’s never going to threaten the structural integrity of a chandelier. But her grainy, sour wail, coated with streaks of dried spilled coffee and nicotine stains, strikes deep chords of clammy fear, of desperation, of vulnerability."

Beth Gibbons / Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra / Krzysztof Penderecki: Henryk Górecki: Symphony No. 3 (Symphony of Sorrowful Songs)
The Portishead singer and conductor (and film-music icon) Krzysztof Penderecki deliver a surprisingly disquieting take on Henryk Górecki’s canonical symphony, a piece so familiar that it’s often taken for granted.

The scariest part of this for me is that it would be entirely unsurprising if he did this and instead of a sane "normal" tacnuke strike, he’ll demand that they put a nuke on a deep penetrator of some sort to nuke the big gas field and make a really big boom. @…

Copy-Trasform-Paste: Zero-Shot Object-Object Alignment Guided by Vision-Language and Geometric Constraints
Rotem Gatenyo, Ohad Fried
arxiv.org/abs/2601.14207 arxiv.org/pdf/2601.14207 arxiv.org/html/2601.14207
arXiv:2601.14207v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We study zero-shot 3D alignment of two given meshes, using a text prompt describing their spatial relation -- an essential capability for content creation and scene assembly. Earlier approaches primarily rely on geometric alignment procedures, while recent work leverages pretrained 2D diffusion models to model language-conditioned object-object spatial relationships. In contrast, we directly optimize the relative pose at test time, updating translation, rotation, and isotropic scale with CLIP-driven gradients via a differentiable renderer, without training a new model. Our framework augments language supervision with geometry-aware objectives: a variant of soft-Iterative Closest Point (ICP) term to encourage surface attachment and a penetration loss to discourage interpenetration. A phased schedule strengthens contact constraints over time, and camera control concentrates the optimization on the interaction region. To enable evaluation, we curate a benchmark containing diverse categories and relations, and compare against baselines. Our method outperforms all alternatives, yielding semantically faithful and physically plausible alignments.

I keep reminding myself of this:
The reason RAM prices went up 4x is that a massive amount of not-yet-manufactured memory was bought with money that doesn't really exist… to be put into GPUs that haven't been made yet… to be installed in data centers that haven't been built… powered by infrastructure that may never exist… to satisfy demand that isn't actually there… in order to generate profits that are mathematically impossible…
Just something to ponder and what …

I’ve had the painters in these past ten days. Today he was here but went home around 2 pm. It is Saturday after all! I’ve walked to my local for a couple of pints of Fuller’s ESB, and I’m waiting for my wife to join me, perhaps with a couple of her friends too. I’m not complaining, but that, folks, is an exciting Saturday evening out for me these days.

Eagles trade rumor offers disappointing news for Steelers, Raiders and Cardinals
The Philadelphia Eagles were believed to possibly have a quarterback available for trade after a recent deal with the Carolina Panthers, but teams that could be interested, like the Pittsburgh Steelers, Las Vegas Raiders and Arizona Cardinals, got some bad news with a new rumor.
