NEW: El Salvador President Nayib Bukele launches military operation in Haiti, threatens to eviscerate Haitian gangs as he did to gangs in El Salvador if they don't return hostages. The statement came after four Salvadoran men were kidnapped by Haitian gangs. "Today's attack is nothing compared to what is coming if we do not get all four hostages back alive," he said. Bukele says the four Salvadoran men are aviation technicians. "They were kidnapped in a cowardly manner while returning after buying food at a market in the area. "That is why, today, we have launched a military operation to rescue them. We have a single objective: to bring our four compatriots back home alive, without any harm." Bukele then issued a warning if gang leaders harm any of the men. "I want you, the gang leaders, to understand one thing very clearly: today's attack is nothing compared to what is coming if we do not get all four hostages back alive..." "And do not take our word for empty threats. We have already finished with the gangs in El Salvador, and we can finish with you too..." "Return our four compatriots to us alive, without any harm, and everything will go back to how it was before the kidnapping."

I really can't see why you think technology that allows a performance car to accelerate, brake, and corner faster than any supercar in history is useless for a supercar, but okay. Happy to take you up on this bet, it is on!

The late great Clive James had a brilliant quote that went: The problem with Australians is not that so many of them are descended from convicts, but that so many of them are descended from prison officers.

how do u know the response rate if some people aren’t doing the census
Australia is on track for a Census response rate above 95%. That’s seriously impressive at a time when survey participation is falling worldwide. Thanks to everyone who took part, and to Australian Bureau of Statistics staff who made it happen. First results arrive June 2027.

oh we’re doing the “vibe coded bloomberg” thing again
🚨this is SERIOUSLY dangerous. i just watched an 18-year-old calmly explain how he turned Opus 5.5 into a personal Bloomberg Terminal (traders pay nearly $32,000 a year for one), and i'm convinced 99% of people still aren't seeing this it's the screen wall street traders stare at all day to trade the markets, and the best of them make $1M+ a year the whole system fits in four lines: - open a market app and pick Claude Opus 5.5 as its brain - type in the stocks and coins you hold - connect your Telegram - close the laptop from there, Opus 5.5 does all of it every weekday at 8:00 it checks your list, catches whatever moved more than usual, digs up why and sends it to your Telegram, with a source and a time on every reason 1 question ≈ 23 sources read zero charts zero news tabs zero stress one sentence to set it up, then it runs on autopilot you're done chasing the market you're running your own Bloomberg Terminal save this. the full course is below

the elephant in the room that nobody wants to talk about - either you need austerity (greece) or you need a fiscal union. there’s effectively no other way out of this problem w/o france otherwise having its own currency
It would be a fitting end for the Eurozone if it finally breaks because pension liabilities just become too much. Banking crises, real estate bubbles, recessions. Nothing could have done it but pensioners could.

If you had enough resources, you could run an LLM on a wooden system of gears and diesel power. It would be massive, but watching the gears and levers move, it would be evident that the outputs are not the result of a mind. Part of the illusion of LLMs is the tiny scale of GPUs.
