Terra AI closes $20M from Khosla and BHP Ventures
Investors are pouring money into mining tech and projects as demand for minerals soars.

Modern industrial fertilisers are made from fossil hydrocarbons. In future we can't use that. But, although I am prejudiced in favour of #organic agriculture, I'd be interested to know whether it would be possible to synthesise fertiliser from widely available resources without using fossil hydrocarbon.
Anyone got any pointers?

A Coalitional Stable and Fair Reward Allocation for Dynamic Virtual Power Plants
This paper establishes crucial cooperation criteria for the operation of Dynamic Virtual Power Plants (DVPPs). We propose a control design and reward allocation mechanism to enable and incentivize Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) to provide dynamic ancillary services (DAS). Our results illustrate how the cooperative aggregation of heterogeneous DERs leverages technical complementarities to outperform standalone DAS provision.

The whole #LLM ROI thing reveals something interesting. It's basically impossible to figure out the ROI of an LLM. That makes it impossible for bean counters to make a comparison between human work and LLM work, or human work without an LLM and LLM-assisted work, to determine if the incredibly high price is worth it. But it's also impossible because you can't measure the ROI of a human, especially for skilled labor.
You can't measure the ROI of a human, because managers have no idea what people do. There's an eternally expanding amount of work designed to address this problem. But no matter how closely people are surveilled, interrogated, analyzed, there's never any real answer.
I've talked in the past about in relation to medical care. One of the dirty secrets of hospitals is that they have no way to figure out how much individual treatment costs. It's easy to understand at scale. You can know exactly how much something costs society. You can even identify patterns, using public health models, and decrease costs for society by trying to get people to avoid risky behavior (stop smoking, use protection during sex, etc). But it is absolutely not possible, at all, in any way, to figure out how much a single visit costs. This is similar to the problem of predicting climate change vs predicting the weather tomorrow in Amsterdam at 15:00. One is possible, the other is simply not.
But what is becoming painfully clear now is that this is true *everywhere*. It's trivial to know how much an industry costs. It's possible to figure out it's ROI for society. It is not possible to figure out how much value any individual worker provides. LLM ROI and cost comparison is an instance of this larger problem.
This is a problem for capitalism because it shows that the fundamental assumptions behind capitalism, that product value and labor value are quantifiable, that people can actually make comparisons between competing products, etc, are completely bullshit. The capitalist apologetics that makes up so much of economics, the lies that are told that hold this system together, are crumbling before our eyes.
If you make a lot of money, it's because you've been lucky. You have the right social networks, you have become good at convincing people to give you money. There is absolutely no way to connect that to actually providing value to society. If you make a lot of money, internalize that. Understand that you are not special, and things can change. If you don't make a lot of money, it's not because you don't provide value. Don't forget that. The system is a lie built to destroy you. Don't let it.
The ideology is sick, something something time of monsters and all that, we are together in this dying machine. We need to understand the lies. Your value can never be quantified. The way we have always figured out how to do the right thing for each other is through each other. Social connection has always guided us. But now the most socially disconnected people on the planet have hijacked the system. They direct the resources of the world, and game the system to avoid personal responsibility.
We have to build a system where everyone is accountable. We can't use abstract numbers and lies to figure things out for us. We have to build systems around people and accountability. There is no other solution.

Bounded Priority-Aware Locking for Real-Time Kernels
Shriram Raja, Richard West
https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.27620 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2605.27620 https://arxiv.org/html/2605.27620
arXiv:2605.27620v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: A real-time multicore system requires delay bounds on access to shared resources. These resources include the kernel, which has potentially many non-preemptible critical sections guarded by one or more different synchronization primitives. While primitives such as FIFO locks bound the waiting time to enter a critical section, they do not distinguish the importance of individual tasks competing for shared resource access. To address this, we consider a priority-aware spinlock, which reduces the average delay of more important tasks while maintaining a worst-case bound on lock waiting time. We propose a Batched Priority Lock (BPL) that first groups waiting tasks based on the order of their lock requests, and then determines the next lock holder according to priority within the waiting group. We compare BPL to alternative lock approaches, showing that the average waiting time is reduced for higher priority tasks, in simulations up to 64 cores, and for a working implementation on an 8-core machine with a real RTOS. BPL is a compromise between strict priority and FIFO ordering. While strict priorities may lead to starvation and, hence, unbounded lock acquisition delays, BPL has the same waiting bound as FIFO, but with benefits to higher priority tasks. Although its complexity is greater than that of a simple spinlock, its common case execution overhead is shown to be inexpensive in a working system. We believe this is an acceptable cost in systems that require predictability.

So one of the authors is Nicholas Carlini, who works for Anthropic. This is basically an ad for the three letter agencies to use Claude. It massively over-promises compared to what the actual paper says.
But, it is important. First, this is really about silencing people. The threat of identification is designed to make people afraid to talk online. There's a massive asymmetry between the fascists and the people. The fascists are weird racists and pedophiles who are obsessed with control. No one likes them. No one likes their ideas, because their ideas are creepy and bad.
When they talk about their ideas, that people should be murdered or kidnaped based on their skin color, that there should be a national dress code, that people's sex lives should be monitored, that children should be treated like objects that are owned by the parent (specifically, one parent), that people with different skin color or uteri should be considered as livestock, people fucking hate it because it's awful. When we talk about our ideas, that everyone should be able to eat and take care of themselves, that people who can't take care of themselves should be taken care of, that we should live in a society that values life, that we should live in harmony with nature, people like those ideas. When fascists out us for talking about those ideas, people support us. When we out people who are working as fascist goons those people have to face social consequences.
Everyone hates these people. The US government is currently less popular than it has ever been. The only way they can keep power is by making everyone think that they aren't extraordinarily unpopular. The only way to do that, the way authoritarian have always done it, is to make everyone afraid to talk.
But, yes, what this paper is saying is actually kind of bad. It looks like people who don't take any precautions at all in separating identities can be identified about 30% of the time (based on the results). It's unclear how this will actually work in the real world. Larger corpses will probably have more data, making connecting things easier.
This isn't as good as a human trying to dox someone. It's not going to work as well. It may only work in a small number of cases. There will be false positives (just like there are with people doing the work). It's probably not cheaper than hiring people. But it does mean that you can just dump money into a machine that has no ethical framework and get data out. That's the point. It's hard to find humans who will do evil shit like help dictatorships target human rights activists, but if a machine can do it for twice the price then it's a better deal for the dictatorship.
For most people, you just shouldn't care. This isn't for you. As long as you keep doing what you're doing, and you can keep everyone else doing what they're doing, then there aren't enough resources to actually target you. Even if they know who you are, there are just too many people who hate them and too few goons.
For people who might actually be targeted, there are a lot of things. First, keep in mind what you're putting into anonymous accounts. Any feature that's connected to your real life is a feature that can be extracted to identify you. This has always been true, it just may be easier to find now. Your identities should be totally siloed. It's also harder to identify you if you're writing anonymously as a collective. Collectives are better anyway because they can help check your thinking. When you write as a collective, you can help clean up each other's personal details and language. A collective develops its own voice, which is distinct from individual contributors. If you do this, and you also present your work as being from one "person," then it becomes even harder for anyone (systems or individuals) to really figure it out.
I'm not going to do a full deep dive on this because I just don't have time, but your existing threat model should *already cover these threats* if you need to make sure your writing remains anonymous.
This paper doesn't present any novel methodologies. It just extracts a bunch of features, which a human would extract as notes, and tries to correlate those between identities, which is how human researchers work. Linguistic forensics were mentioned (not by name) in the paper, but the actual methodology doesn't actually seem to use them.
So a thing with less ethics can do a worse job for more money (when adjusted for the real, not investor deflated, price of tokens). It's worth knowing. It's not the end of the world, but it is a good reminder to check your threat model and make sure it's up to date.

Pope Leo urges governments to combat hunger as aid money shrinks
Pope Leo XIV says wars are being sustained more easily than people are fed. He urged governments to strengthen resources to combat hunger after a severe funding shortfall by the United States and other countries. On Monday, Leo addressed the U.N. World Food Program in Rome, pressing governments to cut red tape and remove obstacles that prevent aid from reaching those in need. He criticized political and administrative barriers that slow humanitarian aid while military spending continues unhinde…

Beneath Arctic ice, a vast fossil fuel footprint is colliding with Indigenous lands and wildlife
Arctic fossil fuel development shows significant overlaps with Indigenous communities and ecologically sensitive areas, which might support calls from some scientists to keep Arctic fossil fuels in the ground, according to a study published in PLOS One by Daniele Codato of the University of Padova, Italy, and colleagues. The Arctic is a frontline for fossil fuel development and climate change impact, long portrayed as a region with abundant undiscovered oil and gas resources, while warming at a…

Brazil's reserves run on too little funding, with Amazon getting just 20% needed
Human development is driving numerous global species to the brink of extinction, threatening essential resources like water and soil, and contributing to climate change. Conservationists have shown that putting critically threatened areas under protection is vital if nations are to slow or reverse these trends, and global frameworks such as the Convention on Biological Diversity have identified the creation and maintenance of protected areas as the cornerstone of such efforts.

Since Trump’s decision to snatch Maduro in January and reboot relations with his successors,
the five-star hotel has become the nerve centre of Washington’s efforts to steer a country some now call a US protectorate

“It’s [effectively] the US embassy.
I don’t think anybody’s going to work at the actual embassy,”
