GAO report on DOGE payments access ‘just the tip of the iceberg’
GAO's latest report found Treasury didn't follow basic security protocol in granting a DOGE staffer access to sensitive payments information last year.

Looks like they covered all the buzzwords in their solution. And so much complexity which can (and will) go wrong 🙄

Why Sulphuric Acid Commands the Upstream Chokepoint of Civilisation.
In the current squeeze, one sees why real industrial power resides not in glamorous end products, but in the ugly upstream molecules that make them possible

"What makes this remarkable is that the ice sheet isn't losing less ice – it's actually losing more. Ice discharge by iceberg calving has increased by nearly 100 gigatonnes per year compared to the previous two decades. The snowfall surge has simply outpaced it – for now,”

Abstract: Large-scale neuroscience is generating rich datasets across animals, brain areas and behavioral contexts, yet our modeling efforts remains fragmented across isolated experiments. We argue that understanding behavior requires integrative neurocybernetic models: understandable dynamical models that capture the closed-loop coupling of brain, body and environment, treat the brain as a controller pursuing latent objectives, represent structured variation across scales, and scale to heterogeneous datasets. Such models shift the goal from predicting neural recordings in isolation to inferring the organizing principles that govern neural and behavioral dynamics. We outline a practical route toward this goal by combining nonlinear state-space models and meta-dynamical extensions with scalable inference, knowledge distillation, mixed open- and closed-loop training, and connectomics-informed architectures. By pooling complementary constraints from recordings, behavior, perturbations and anatomy, integrative neurocybernetic models can provide statistical amplification, few-shot generalization, and mechanistic insight into shared dynamical structure, individual variation, and the control objectives that govern behavior. This agenda offers a model-centric path from fragmented data to a mechanistic science of how brains produce behavior.

Nennen wir diese Primzahlen “superprimes”. Die Definition ist rekursiv: Eine 1-stellige Zahl ist superprime, wenn sie prim ist. Eine 2-stellige, wenn sie prim ist und beide Stellen (super)prim. Eine n-stellige Zahl ist superprim, wenn sie prim ist und ihre (n-1) ersten sowie (n-1) letzten Stellen superprim sind.
Das kann man effizient oder ineffizient implementieren. Ich finde isSuper besser als isSuper2
