European regulators sidelined on Anthropic superhacking model
New AI tech could pose major cybersecurity risks but many European regulators have limited oversight.

View of a mountain creek near entering a deep rocky canyon section. Lush alpine forest (mostly Swiss pines) and small cliffs on the right hand side, craggy larger cliffs and bushes on the left. A lot of the vegetation is in beautiful autumn colors. Clear blue sky.

Content warning: gun violence, nazi shit

On the first day of the #PTSD intensive, we talked about the shooting. I had felt like I was done with that, that it didn't have anything left for me. But there was something still that filled me with rage... that is still confusing and enraging.
It wasn't actually being shot. I wasn't even the possibility of death. I had been prepared to die. I always knew that was possible. It was something else.
I remember Marc Hokoana's face as he pepper sprayed pacifists, smiling and taunting, joyfully hurting people who he knew were refusing to respond. I remember their flags, the kek flag, literally a Nazi battle flag replaced in 4chan colors with the clover 4chan logo instead of the swastika. How many people have been tortured, have died? How much suffering, that these people not only welcomed but celebrated, joyfully participated in.
The cruelty was the point. It was the plan, the plan he posted to Facebook, the same plan as they have always had, of torturing people until someone responds and then murdering them. Inflicting trauma, responding with overwhelming force, showing how "big and strong" they are because they can always escalate.
Try to stop someone from peppers praying people, they shoot you. Shoot back, like Michael Reinoehl, and they send a death squad for you. But we keep standing up, so they keep escalating to the slightest imagined infraction. Now they just murder you for being in a car, for filming at a protest, for existing.
The bar for what justifies murder or torture will continue to move lower until there is no one left, or until they can no longer escalate.
The feeling of helplessness is still not the biggest thing though. It's the joy with which they inflict this on us. That's it. That's the thing.

Joey no longer walks Earth (and Dee Dee and Johnny are no longer with us either), but the unreal music he and they left behind is immortal, and it will fucking blast and rip forever. It still blows my mind I was briefly on Earth at the same time as this man, this legend, Jeffrey Hyman.

Today in the drizzle I stopped by the Living Library, a beautiful native plant garden near SF's Balboa Park at the San Jose/Seneca intersection. Highly recommend a visit to see some #ceanothus in bloom and California poppies and island mallows beginning to, and much more.

A lush green garden with various shrubs and forbs, a curving stone path to the left, a couple of trees, and there's a two-story school building with sand-colored walls off to the side. There's an information panel that's too distant to make out the text in this photo.
A shrub with large leaves and a few small pink flowers. Seems to be Malva assurgentiflora, or island mallow.
A row of two or three shrubs that look like one shrub at first glance, but there are two distinct types of flowers: one variety is more blue-indigo and larger, the other is smaller and purple. They have dark green leaves and are something in the Ceanothus genus, or mountain lilac.
Information panel titled: "California Native Plants: The ecological benefits of planting Native San Francisco. Life frames a living library." A bunch of text I can't fit here about the benefits of planting native, restoring nature, one plant at a time. A colorful drawing shows some California native plants and their associated pollinators: California poppy and native bees, milkweed and monarch butterfly, yarrow and hummingbird, buckwheat and native bee, toyon and cedar waxwing.

Uh, looks like one of my DualShock analogs is starting to fail (it keeps "jumping" left). My eco-awareness teels I should get a replacement part (for ¼ of the price of a new controller) and replace it. The problem is, I don't really have energy to disassemble it and hope I won't break anything, and manage to assemble it again. The instructions suggest you have to remove pretty much everything to get there, and I have no clue how small the solders are… And I have no clue what quality is the replacement part either.

Boulder Brook, #RockyMountainNationalPark September 2003

A cataract along Boulder Brook in Rocky Mountain National Park. The brook descends from near the top of Storm Peak down to Storm Pass, a spot along Bear Lake Road uphill from Sprague Lake. A trail follows the brook and this spot caught my eye. The brook is about 15’ across and a lot of water is rushing over some rocks throwing up white water the looks silky with a long exposure. A thin log extends from the left edge as though suspended over the water. September 2003

An electric vehicle is plugged into a charging station against a wooden backdrop. Colorful lines suggest energy transfer. Text promotes a new energy transition initiative from Elli, mentioning V2G technology coming soon.

Just a little one and a half hour walk nearby before it was supposed to be raining (and rugby starts).
It was a nice walk and good to be out. Strangely, my old GPS device refused to get a location despite having lots of satellites. Just 10min before coming back (after a couple of restarts and taking the batteries out and back in) it worked.
Fortunately, I only had it with me to test if my heart rate monitor also connects to it.

A serene and inviting rural scene unfolds in this image, capturing the tranquil beauty of a forest trail. The foreground features a well-maintained gravel path, gently winding its way through the landscape. The path is bordered by a rustic wooden fence on the left, adding a touch of charm and guiding the viewer's eye deeper into the scene. In the background, a cluster of tall evergreen trees stands majestically, their lush green foliage creating a natural canopy. The trees add a sense of depth…

The existence of Israel is a manifestation of European antisemitism, both historically justifying the project of Zionism and European governments continuing to fund Israel instead of addressing the core role of antisemitism in maintaining (at least) the conservative elements of the neoliberal order.
If antisemitism props up Israel, then a core part of dismantling Israel (and thus saving the lives of Palestinians) is addressing European antisemitism. There are Israeli Jews who would leave if they felt safe to do so. There are Jews demanding Israel be armed, because they don't feel safe anywhere else.
Protest, boycott, take whatever action you feel is appropriate. There is a limit to your ability to convince governments to stop funding genocide, but you can learn about antisemitism and you can work to fight it, especially within "The Left." You can learn to distinguish between legitimate critiques of Israel, and antisemitic ones, and you can stand and call out antisemitic ones.
Honestly, this is some of the easy work that I think a lot of people don't consider even doing, don't even realize it is a thing that can be done.
I'm talking to Israeli folks who identify as being on the Left. It's hard because they've been through a lot of propaganda. Israel is a cult that terrorizes its members. This is important work that can have a huge impact, because it focuses on dismantling the networks of support that reinforce what's happening now.
Meanwhile, I still run into wild things like "Rothschild" conspiracy theories among people who identify with the idea of supporting Palestinians.
Not only can you support the liberation of Palestine and the Palestinian people while opposing antisemitism, but you must actually do both in order to do either. They are exactly the same fight, and anything short of both is thrashing against oneself.

Mirror image pheromones help beetles 'swipe right' to find mates
There are many ways to communicate with prospective romantic partners. If you are a Japanese scarab beetle, it's a matter of distinguishing left from right. New work from U.S. and Chinese scientists, published this week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, shows how these beetles use mirror-image pheromones to find a mate. The work could lead to better monitoring and control of significant agricultural pests.

China could emerge a winner from Trump’s global energy shock
The disruption caused by the war on Iran may reveal that years China spent preparing for a global energy crisis have left the country and its economy better positioned than most to endure a long-term hike in the cost of oil and gas.

Through massive stockpiles of crude oil,
an aggressive push into electric vehicles
and huge investments into coal, renewable power and battery storage,
Beijing has worked …

Why China could emerge a winner from Trump’s global energy shock
Spiking oil prices may reveal how China has been more successful in electrifying its economy and reducing dependence on fossil fuels than the United States.
