Treating adversaries better than allies is a recipe for isolation
America’s adversaries, especially those with nuclear weapons, sometimes seem to be treated more kindly by Donald Trump than the country’s oldest friends.
Such U.S. unreliability risks encouraging nuclear proliferation by pushing countries to look out for themselves.
Last week underscored the dynamic:
Trump rolled out the red carpet in Washington for Chinese President Xi Jinping

Part of the genius of Nvidia is that they don’t just lend their customers to buy their products, they finance and cheerlead downstream demand. It’s a recipe for a bigger multilayered bubble.
I like being married to someone who can wire things in no bother 😄 I'd blow us all up if I tried. For years Mum was the only person in our house who could wire a plug, having demonstrated kitchen appliances for the Electricity Board in her youth. She tried to teach me but I could never remember the colours. How is brown not earth? It was downhill from there. Anyway that's why I have that delicious Kenwood lemonade recipe which will always remind me of her.
Hey all
It’s Wednesday and we have a new retrofit demo to share:

This is similar to the Liquibase and Flyway demos. We inject retrofit into the Ruby/Rails developer workflow.

reading a baking recipe, and am confused at the temperatures, then it hits me - it's cultural, i wonder why not measure temperature in football fields or library of congress?
Cacio e Pepe is deceptively simple to make.
This traditional recipe requires only 3 ingredients:
spaghetti, freshly ground black pepper, and real Pecorino Romano cheese!

Baking night tonight. New cinnamon roll recipe and new muffin tin (jumbo muffins). I suspect people at work will be happy for a early morning snack.
Tuesday will be muffins for the wife. She loves my oatmeal/bran mini muffins. I cheat there as she loves the bagged mix and I add extra oat bran for her.

Found an old recipe book from Marfa, TX among my aunt's old things.
Some things are best left undisturbed.
I'm not a drinker, but I might have to start making this:
Reflecting Pool Cocktail:
Line martini glass with blue fruit roll-up.
Mix 2 oz rum, 4 oz pineapple juice, 1 ounce blue curacao, and pour into glass.
Watch the blue fruit roll-up melt amidst the green liquid and enjoy!

Fika time! Treating la famila to mixed berry muffins... again, trying out an old recipe from our London time, for the first time in years...
The four stages of moussaka. And it's not even its final form!
A recipe using two different ovens and a pan may not have been a good idea in this heat but well now it's done. A final trip in the oven and I'll be good.

To Make A Mother
Each week I bring you my recipe for motherhood… the good stuff, the things that get spilled on the floor, and those weird ingredients you keep hearing are good for you but have no idea what to do with...

"if Burnham wants his promise of breaking with 40 years of neoliberalism to be taken seriously, trying to find consensus on social care policy with the market-mad Tories is a recipe for disaster. Labour has a huge majority: it should be used, as it once was to create the NHS — against Conservative opposition."

Imam Bayildi, another keeper. I had a previous recipe for this that didn’t convince me but that’s probably because I fucked it up last time. Anyway 5/5

Two kinds of robustness are not the same: disentangling fault tolerance and low-SNR robustness in multi-domain event detection on real data

Abstract: Reliable event detection underpins induced-seismicity monitoring for Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS) and geothermal operations, distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), and industrial condition monitoring. In each setting a detector must stay reliable both when sensors fail and when the signal is buried in noise. These two failure modes are routinely conflated, and architectural complexity is often credited with robustness it may not deserve. We assemble a unified binary event-detection benchmark from three physically distinct real sources -- Hi-net seismic waveforms, Utah FORGE 2024 borehole DAS, and MAFAULDA industrial vibration -- each mapped to a common 8-channel, 256-sample representation, and evaluate a fault-tolerant detector (CEPHALON) trained with per-sample sensor-dropout against standard detectors (a 1D convolutional network, a temporal convolutional network, and a compact Transformer) trained with an identical recipe. On clean data every model is near-perfect (AUC ~ 0.99). Under progressive sensor loss, simple models with sensor-dropout are already robust and CEPHALON holds no advantage. Under additive noise, however, CEPHALON degrades far more gracefully: at -2.5 dB its overall AUC is 0.939 versus 0.532-0.572 for the convolutional baselines. Same-architecture ablations isolate the cause: disabling internal redundancy at inference reduces the low-SNR advantage only modestly, whereas removing sensor-dropout training collapses it (0.899 to 0.603 at -5 dB). The training recipe is therefore the dominant cause and parallel redundancy only secondary. We release a complete, numbered, reproducible pipeline so that every figure can be regenerated.

Humanity has all but forgotten how to install and maintain that stack on the mac. Solution: a container recipe!
Oh, and you need a postgres db for some tests or tools? Spin up a container. Containers are magic. 
#Math people, take the time to learn about containers! Sparks joy.

The Thirupathi temple has strict recipe for its laddu prasaadam, but people have long suspected the actual ingredients used, and now a vendor is caught supplying ghee adulterated with various oils and such.
It seems, in any faith, places of worship attract scoundrels. 🥹
