so I used to sell themed magnetic poetry sets I made on my etsy but my shops been closed for a while, anyway I made a very basic internet version of my Glitch in the Matrix set that's live now.

"The most powerful thing you can do in this situation doesn’t concern your attachments, or even your beliefs. It’s giving up on the idea that there is such a thing as safe territory. A kid’s book, a magic wand, even the idea of joy itself can be a tool used to club a kid back into the closet. Act accordingly."

It’s Time To Grow Up | Defector
HBO’s new Harry Potter TV series is premiering this Christmas Day. Under current plans, it will last at least a decade. The trailer looks like the original films were run through an AI generator, but quality isn’t the point. The show is a transparent attempt to induct a new generation—and market—into the lucrative fantasy world…

Poetry gives people a language to express collective grief.
In Gaza, poetry documents what cameras cannot always reach and what numbers can never explain.
When destruction erases physical spaces, poetry becomes a witness to history.

DNQ: Deep Nash Q-Network for Partially Observable n-Player Games

Abstract: Many real-world competitive systems require multiple decision-makers to act simultaneously under shared constraints, limited information, and repeated interaction, as in auctions, resource allocation, and security competition. We study multi-turn simultaneous bidding as a controlled testbed for such problems and propose DNQ, a solver-in-the-loop equilibrium supervision framework for training bidding agents. DNQ alternates between trajectory collection, critic-based payoff estimation, equilibrium computation, and policy imitation. At each visited state, a shared critic predicts either pairwise payoff matrices or an exact N-player payoff tensor, an external solver computes equilibrium strategies, and the agents are trained by minimizing the KL divergence between their masked policies and the solver-derived equilibrium targets. We focus on a scalable pairwise formulation that greatly reduces equilibrium-solving cost and training time compared with the exact formulation, while the shared critic amortizes payoff learning across agents and states. Experiments compare the pairwise and exact variants using critic loss, policy entropy, bidding resource usage, and training cost, showing that the pairwise method scales to larger numbers of agents, whereas the exact method becomes computationally impractical as the joint game grows. These results illustrate the trade-off between strategic fidelity and scalability in repeated competitive environments.

A bit of a mixed bag today. Good reads are the Agents and the Era of Overproduction and AI reshaping values at Enode blog posts.
Podcast-wise, give Driverless World and the Pedro Sšnchez episode a listen.

I'm going through some coins that my grandpa apparently collected. From what I can figure out, this is likely a copy of a 1776 "Fugio Dollar". There is a visible seam running around the edge, meaning that it was cast instead of struck. I wonder what (if anything) it is worth. The weight doesn't feel right. I'm guessing that it is made of pewter or something.

Dos noticias importantes que muestran una tendencia preocupante. Google estš rompiendo la web en dos, haciendo una web que va a depender de Google para funcionar y en la que sólo se va a poder navegar si se es usuario de Google y otra con los outsiders, el resto.
De forma similar a como rompió Facebook al cerrar el acceso a sus pšginas a usuarios no registrados, lo que hizo que muchos comercios y colectivos se quedaran aislados de parte de su base social, pero a lo gigantesco.
