Europe isn’t prepared for the unmanned aircraft threat. Will its ‘drone wall’ be enough?
Drones have added a new dimension to the Russia’s military strategy.

Napster Said It Raised $3 Billion From A Mystery Investor. Now The ‘Investor’ And ‘Money’ Are Gone
Forbes raised questions about a massive funding round metaverse-turned-AI firm Napster supposedly raised in January. The money is never coming, the company said Thursday.

My general framework for thinking about this stuff:
- Brains vary a lot, in a lot of different ways.
- We have names for a few variations, or common patterns of variation. That can be useful, but it’s hardly complete.
- There’s a wealth of as-yet-unnamed neurodivergences out there.
- It’s all but certain that •everyone’s• mind is atypical in one way or another.
- Comparison with, aspiration to, or forced conformance to the nonexistent “average” mind is unhelpful, frequently harmful.
- Embracing variation is the only reasonable (or humane) approach.

After years of struggling to find enough workers for some of the nation’s toughest lockups,
the Federal Bureau of Prisons is facing a new challenge:
Corrections officers are jumping ship for more lucrative jobs at Immigration and Customs Enforcement. 
This is one of the unintended consequences of the Trump administration’s focus on mass deportations.
For months, ICE has been on a recruiting blitz,
offering $50,000 starting bonuses and tuition reimbursement

“We’re Broken”: As Federal Prisons Run Low on Food and Toilet Paper, Corrections Officers Are Leaving in Droves for ICE
Many of the problems the agency is facing now are not new, but staff and prisoners fear an exodus of officers could make life behind bars even worse.

Finnish startup NestAI said it has raised €100 million to build "Europe's leading physical AI lab."

A lot of conversations about neurodivergence take the form of the first image below. I’m arguing to adopt the framing of the second image instead (except 100- or 1000-dimensional instead of 2-dimensional).
We’ve identified a few clusterings in a space of extraordinary and beautiful variation, and given those clusterings names. How useful those names are! How little they capture, even so! How much variation remains unnamed! How much variation must exist within every human being!

The 28-point "peace plan" that the United States and Russia want to impose on Ukraine and Europe is misnamed.
It is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe,
preparing the way for a larger war in the future.
In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.
The plan was negotiated by Steve Witkoff,
a real-estate developer with no historical, geographica…
