Iran will never give up their missiles and uranium or Houthis. The harsher the punishment, the harder they clench it like it’s their sole salvation. mark my tweet.
Reports circulating of initial terms involving Mecca Pact partners (Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan), Iran & Russia: Attacks on Iran pause. Iran cuts support to the Houthis. Tehran gets ~$6B unfrozen and the Strait of Hormuz reopens. Russia takes Iran’s enriched uranium. Sanctions ease gradually, with IAEA inspectors eventually allowed back in. Talks ongoing in Tehran today. Details unconfirmed and fluid.

Currently there are two simultaneous race wars, Turkey vs. China and Japan vs. French leftist/immigrants. The Japanese 🇯🇵, as you know, are culturally allergic to public disorder. So the Franco-Japanese War kicked off when they saw French accounts cheering on the riots while using anime avatars and Japanese characters in their handles. They said those anime characters are about virtues such as courage, justice, effort, and friendship, and they shouldn't be associated with torching cars or looting. Basically the message was: “if you need a symbol for destruction, invent your own. Stop culturally appropriating ours for your ugly ends.” From there it escalated into classical mutual stereotype annihilation. The Japanese didn't hold back, using typical allusions to apes and hounding on their failure to build thriving societies despite being given all the aid and welfare in the world. The French accounts (majority were rocking North African flags) hit back, insulting Japanese for screwing sex dolls and working so hard they commit suicide. It wasn't pretty. While that was cooking, a separate Turkey vs. China war was already underway. Algerians 🇩🇿 noticed and decided to ride for their “Turkish brothers,” dropping cartoons roasting the Chinese. The Moroccans 🇲🇦, watching from the sidelines, started laughing and saying "screw the Ummah," telling them they really didn’t want to invite the Chinese to attack them. The Algerian account responded by calling the Moroccan’s sister a whore. This, my friends is what I personally call "fractal racism." On the surface, you think it's just one undifferentiated “brown Muslim” mass. But when you zoom in, what you get is infinite-resolution tribalism and more divisions of recursive hate. At this magnification, the French Muslim immigrant blob split along Maghrebi lines that few of us outsiders know exist. French-Algerian accounts volunteering as Turkish proxies then invites Chinese 🇨🇳 online aggression. Which means the Chinese and Japanese (and Koreans 🇰🇷 who joined them), are now united in common cause in mutual contempt for the same people. Two separate race wars are threatening to collapse into one lol. The internet is so weird and entertaining isn't it. Where and how else could this have happened? Two sides with the deepest historical hatreds on the planet, and likely a fissure point of the next actual kinetic World War, are briefly aligned.

One reason young people want socialism so much is that they're jealous that older people have it and they don't.

EU’s most socialist country is still not enough. more more more more
This DW clip is actually a pretty good summary of the french socioeconomic situation, i am impressed. Much better than some other content put out by german public broadcasting. If it always was like this we would have way less problems with slopulism.

The terrorist attack against Karak will be met with the harshest retaliation. Those who delude themselves into thinking that they can divide Jordanians with their bullets have no chance in the face of our unity. All Jordanians, from north to south, are partners in land and fate, and nothing stands between them. Our deepest condolences to the families of the martyrs and we wish a speedy recovery to those injured. Every Jordanian life is precious, and we will strike with an iron fist against those who dare to threaten our nation

Security camera footage published by Saudi channel Al Arabiya shows three attackers in the Jordan church shooting. One carried an automatic weapon. Two carried pistols. One of the three appears to have suffered a weapon jam. He never reached the church and did not join the shooting. The toll from the attacks at the church in Al-Karak, in Jordan's south, stands at 6 killed and 28 wounded. The manhunt for the perpetrators continues, per Jordanian security services.

土耳其的哈士奇形象怎么来的呢? 2015年土耳其把俄罗斯战机击落,惹恼了俄罗斯。 但是土耳其人还义愤填膺的去俄罗斯大使馆游行, 结果认错地方,把荷兰大使馆给砸了,荷兰人不乐意了。 土耳其人继续叫嚣,上街焚烧荷兰国旗,却把法国的国旗给烧了。 为了转移矛盾,土耳其把矛头指向了新疆,上街反华游行。 结果把一群韩国游客当成中国人给打了,这还不解气,还跑到泰国领事馆,把越南国旗当成中国国旗给烧了。 韩国人不乐意了,抗议。土耳其人电视台指着韩国总统文在寅和伊万卡的握手照片说这两个人在科威特杀害了一个菲律宾29岁保姆。 😂

BREAKING: China purchased +25 tonnes of gold in August via the London OTC market, according to Goldman Sachs estimates. This is +25% more than the official +20 tonnes reported by China's central bank for this month. This also follows estimated purchases of +35, +40, and +48 tonnes in July, June, and May, respectively. Over these 4 months, China's estimated gold purchases through the OTC market exceeded officially reported purchases by 83 tonnes, or +128%. Meanwhile, global central banks are estimated to have acquired +79 tonnes of gold in August, +365% above the pre-2022 average of +17 tonnes. China is stockpiling gold.

为什么我认为,今天的欧洲,本质上就是一个穿着高定西装、端着红酒杯的福利版大清。 如果把19世纪的晚清和如今的欧洲放在一起对比刨析,你会发现这两者的病灶、心态和衰弱的剧本都一模一样。 何出此言,论据如下: 其一,欧洲把道德与合规当成天朝礼法,把中美科技看作奇技淫巧 当年乾隆和晚清士大夫面对英国的蒸汽机、火车和洋枪洋炮,第一反应不是恐慌,而是居高临下的道德鄙视,认为那是毫无教化的奇技淫巧,只有大清的孔孟礼治才是人类文明的最高形态。 今天的欧洲老爷看中美,心态一模一样。 他们打心底里瞧不起硅谷的野蛮生长的科技新贵,更瞧不起中国没日没夜卷出来的超级供应链。 在欧洲老爷们眼里,中美这是没有灵魂的野蛮内卷,只有欧洲高举的环保主义、数据隐私、多元平权和每周35小时工作制,才是人类文明的天朝礼法。 他们沉溺在道德审美上的优越感里,用文明裁判的姿态掩盖自己在生产力上的全面阳痿。 其二,欧洲的奢侈品和燃油车,就是当代的茶叶、丝绸与瓷器 大清曾经靠着农业文明攒下的极致老底,茶叶、丝绸、瓷器,赚走了全球大量的白银,甚至狂妄地认为外国人不喝大清的茶叶就会便秘而死。 欧洲过去几十年吃的老本,本质上就是工业2.0时代攒下的茶叶和瓷器,包括法国的LV与爱马仕、德国的BBA燃油车与精密阀门、瑞士的手表与医药。 欧洲人同样产生了一种致命的幻觉: 认为无论科技怎么改变,中美的新贵们永远得排队买欧洲的皮包和机械,欧洲永远可以靠着祖传的品牌溢价和专利护城河,躺着收割全世界的财富。 直到中国出现的新能源车直接打穿德国汽车工业的底裤、AI 的兴起开始重构工业软件与研发范式,欧洲才惊觉自己的丝绸瓷器不再是不可替代的硬通货了。 其三,布鲁塞尔的罚单经济,就是当年的广州十三行 大清闭关锁国,但又馋洋人的白银,怎么办? 搞出了一套广州十三行体制: 自己不搞工业、不搞航海,就在通商口岸设卡,制定最繁琐的规矩,向外国商人征收高昂的规礼银和买路钱。 今天欧盟总部的布鲁塞尔,正是数字时代的广州十三行。 自己孵化不出OpenAI、英伟达、字节跳动,就写全世界最厚的《AI法案》和《数字市场法案》。 你美国科技巨头想进欧洲4.5亿人的市场? 可以,先按我的规矩交几十亿欧元的反垄断罚单。 用行政设卡和司法敲诈来代替产业竞争,结果把真正的创新者全挡在门外,把自己彻底锁死在旧时代。 其四,从入关八旗退化成提笼架鸟的铁杆庄稼 满清八旗刚入关时(对应欧洲的大航海和早期工业革命),那也是敢拼命、敢流血的凶悍战力。 但承平日久,八旗子弟拿上了国家包养的铁杆庄稼(世袭俸禄),迅速退化成只会提笼架鸟、抽大烟、听戏的寄生阶层。 到了晚清财政破产,朝廷哪怕敢克扣一点点旗饷,八旗兵不打洋人,先在京城闹事。 今天欧洲的高福利选民,就是当代的八旗子弟。 二战后几代人吃尽了工业霸权的红利,把高福利、长休假、终身不解雇当成了天经地义的铁杆庄稼。 现在老本吃光了,法国国债飙到GDP的120%,政府刚想砍610亿欧元预算自救,这群平时连班都不愿多加的当代旗人立刻冲上街头,把143年历史的市政厅烧成灰烬。 其五,既得利益死保风水,把每一次洋务运动扼杀在摇篮里 晚清不是没有明白人,李鸿章、曾国藩也想搞洋务运动,也想修铁路、架电线。 但为什么搞不成? 因为朝堂上的清流派御史、地方上的乡绅和漕运利益集团百般阻挠: 说修铁路会惊动祖宗龙脉、破坏风水,买机器会夺了纤夫的饭碗,最后连修好的淞沪铁路都能被清廷买回来亲手拆掉扔进海里。 当一个帝国把祖宗留下的存量当成永恒,把既得利益的枷锁当成道德皇冠,它的结局在两百年前的紫禁城就已经写好了。

站在今天看,俄罗斯这波操作,属于手握着一把天胡的牌打得稀烂。 如果不出兵乌克兰,今天全球AI的牌桌上,除了中美,大概率真得坐着一个俄罗斯。 搞AI、跑大模型,底层逻辑就是“吃电、散热、堆机器”。这两年全世界的数据中心老板都在为电费和机房降温发愁。俄罗斯属于老天爷喂到饭:西伯利亚开窗就是纯天然顶级空调;境内水电、核电、天然气很便宜,当年挖矿的都选西伯利亚。 另外俄罗斯人的数学和算法也强,各大国际编程竞赛,Kaggle机器学习竞赛常被俄国人屠榜。全世界除了中美,俄罗斯也搞出了自己完整的互联网生态:搜东西有Yandex,社交有VK,还有Telegram。现在在美股被炒上天的算力黑马Nebius,核心班底就是原先Yandex那帮俄罗斯人。 如果疫情后俄罗斯出地皮、出冷气、出便宜电,再拉着中国这种基建狂魔帮忙拉高压电网、建厂房、铺光纤,欧美资本开服务器工厂。俄国人完全可以成为欧亚大陆最大的“超级算力工厂”,中美神仙打架,它在中间两头收过路费。 结果呢?普京一拍大腿:不行,我得去抢那几块地。 普京的脑子,彻底停留在了19世纪沙皇俄国那种“开疆拓土”的旧梦里。什么有没有出海口啊,有没有所谓的军事缓冲带啊,就算抢方法也多的是,这可这是21世纪啊!现在的世界霸权争夺,抢的是半导体供应链,抢的是先进算法,抢的是高精尖人才。你去顿巴斯抢了几片烂泥地、几座废弃钢铁厂,代价却是把整个国家的未来都押了上去。 枪声一响,一切全崩了。稍微有点本事的程序员、算法工程师,连夜跑路。Yandex核心技术团队,宁可巨亏,惨烈的断尾求生、割裂母国,也要跑到欧洲重组成Nebius。普京把最懂未来的人,全逼成了难民和海外创业者。 在人工智能技术爆发的黎明前夜,全世界都在疯狂狂飙算力、抢占新工业革命的门票;而俄罗斯的老大,却带着几十万人,在泥潭里打着一百年前的一战式堑壕战。 再说一遍,普京不行,国内崇拜普京的那帮人也不行

OpenAI models helped researchers—operating as part of our Patch the Planet initiative—discover critical security flaws in PHP, an open-source programming language used to run an estimated 70% of websites. Over the past two months, we led a coalition of maintainers, researchers, and security providers to prepare fixes and protections ahead of disclosure. This duration was necessary because the fix was quite intricate and required a major change to the PHP engine. Every site using PHP can now safely upgrade their version to stay secure, in addition to applying mitigations from various security vendors. Due to the severity of these flaws and PHP’s widespread use, we consider this bug to be one of the most impactful vulnerabilities in recent memory. It also marks a new phase, where AI can find security bugs with internet-scale impact. This is an example of the Defender’s Window in action: to our knowledge, frontier AI was able to find this vulnerability ahead of attackers, giving defenders time to prepare. openai.com/index/coordinated…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
‪OpenAI may claim a role in the coordinated response and patching process. But the initial discovery and exploit development, however, occurred several months earlier by an independent researcher.‬ ‪x.com/lcfr_hax/statu…‬
