“The IDF listens to all Gazan phones, so they know where people are and whether children are home. They know who’s in an apartment just before the missiles hit, and they hear the screams after the explosions. They even coined a phrase – ‘Where’s Daddy?’ – to describe listening in on a child’s phone, determining when their father will be home, and then sending a missile to kill them all. As one solider matter-of-factly says about a 12-year-old, ‘You hack her phone, and then you kill her.’”

Donald Trump’s catastrophic errors get so much attention that his systemic ones can easily be missed.
While the world looks on in dismay at his farcical war in Iran,
the thuggery of Ice agents

the core functions of the American government are slowly disintegrating.
It is harder to get people to focus on the machinery of the state because the effects are often slow and hard to pin down.

A sweeping review of more than 350 studies suggests that the protein boom may be overselling what many people actually need. Eating less protein appears to improve metabolism, reduce inflammation and cellular damage, and activate pathways linked to healthier aging and longer life.

On the Structural Limits of Machine Learning Decision Systems: An Information-Theoretic, Interaction-Based, and Stochastic-Dynamical Perspective
Nestor R. Barraza, Gabriel Pena
https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.13510 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.13510 https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13510
arXiv:2608.13510v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Machine learning procedures are commonly evaluated in terms of predictive accuracy and computational efficiency. However, their achievable performance is fundamentally constrained by structural properties of the underlying data-generating process, which are formalized in terms of informational bounds. In this work we examine intrinsic limits of data-driven decision systems from an information-theoretic and interaction-based perspective. We analyze minimal achievable error in classification through Fano-type bounds and precision limits in parametric estimation via the Cram\'er-Rao inequality, emphasizing that such limits depend on the underlying model rather than on algorithmic sophistication alone. We further discuss how implicit assumptions, such as independence, ergodicity, and distributional stability, affect the validity of inferential procedures. Building on interaction-based modeling principles, we review typical frameworks such as Markov Random Fields and potential based representations for encoding dependence mechanisms. We also describe decision systems, including LLM-integrated agent architectures, as feedback-driven stochastic processes where state-dependent dynamics may induce emergent macroscopic behavior. This perspective highlights the importance of having adequate models for the data as a prerequi- site for expanding predictive capability, and situates algorithmic learning within the informational limits imposed by the models.

'NAZA' Review: Doc Accuses Israel Of Using AI To Kill Gaza Civilians

I *think* that I have the second review dealt with, and I'll get back to review 3 tomorrow.

This review has me excited to see Nathan Fielder's new documentary, You Can See Everything.
I'm a big Fielder fan, and the only thing I've struggled to watch of his was The Curse. I ended up dropping out halfway through, but my wife stuck through it, and convinced me to watch the finale, which I'll admit was satisfying to watch in the same way the movie Bugonia ended.
Perhaps this will be Fielder's opus.

From the ethics policy of a journal:
It is not permitted to share manuscripts under review with AI tools in any form, [...] as this compromises the confidentiality and copyright of material provided by the author during the peer review process.
I think the policy is valid but the reason 'compromises confidentiality' is moot because the papers are on the arXiv with names and all that and thus already part of training data and available to agents. Also local models.
