JUST IN: El Salvador’s AI tutoring pilot in 171 public schools produced reading, math, & science results above the national average & comparable to Germany & Sweden.
The concept of “mental illness” and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. Despite even the libtards agreeing that it’s almost completely incurable and thus functionally no different from “being evil”, it earns this strange superposition of causing evil but not warranting punishment like evil.
one of the most interesting things i saw happen when my wife got pregnant and became a mother was how much of the world just stopped mattering to her
she used to be interested in current events and world news, but then she became a mother and just... stopped caring. she still knows what's happening and we talk about it, but it doesn't bother her anymore. about 90% of the mundane problems, politics, social issues and internet drama that used to occupy her mental space are just gone
at the same time, her views became much more conservative and detached from politics in general
pregnancy and motherhood seem to completely reorder the hierarchy of what matters
The thing you need to understand here is that EVERY politician, intelligence agency, and globocorp is thinking like this. Trump and Thiel and [insert based rightwing good guy] are doing the same type of thing just toward slightly different events. Control of large social organizations comes down to persuasion and manipulation. Thats just how the world works. If you think only your enemies are doing it, it’s precisely because your own team has manipulated you into such blindness.
Here’s what actually happened with bitcoin and Claude because people are getting the story mixed up.
Coldcard hardware wallets were supposed to create each Bitcoin seed using real physical randomness from a chip.
But a firmware bug checked whether the hardware random number setting existed in the first place NOT whether it was actually enabled. It existed but was set to 0, so the wallet fell back to a randomized predictable software generator.
That reduced some wallets from roughly 2¹²⁸ possible seeds to around 2⁴⁰. The attacker could generate candidate seeds offline, derive their Bitcoin addresses and use the public blockchain like an answer key to see which wallets had funds.
Once one matched, they had a private key they could drain it without touching the device, and steal the seed phrase or “crack Bitcoin.”
Researchers have now found 1,367 BTC, nearly $89 million, taken from 4,585 addresses.
The AI part happened AFTER all this. A Reddit user reportedly pointed Claude Code at the public firmware and asked only to “check for vulnerabilities.” Within eight minutes, it traced the broken random number path and brought up the same hackable flaw.
There is no proof the original attacker used Claude or ANY LLM. now this still demonstrates Claude is still insane at finding vulnerabilities humans missed in public code for five years and can now be uncovered by one person with one broad prompt and a coding agent in minutes.
Skvělý! 👌
Fakt tleskám 🙏🏻 jinudy cesta nepovede…
Teda, pokud se místo těch drahých a zdlouhavých opatření nerozhodnete zavolat Macinkovi. On vám řekne, že žádná krize není a je to vyřešené. Můžete si dělat, co chcete 🫠
Jedna z největších chyb v dějinách lidské civilizace bylo začít používat desítkovou soustavu a nikdy s tím nepřestat.
Áhhh, kdybychom se přeučili na počítání ve dvanáctkové soustavě, tak by svět byl o tolik lepší místo. 😭
Let’s describe the cold intensity of the unmanned battlefield with a real-world example.
1) A Ukrainian soldier is wounded.
2) A Ukrainian UGV makes a pickup of the wounded soldier and begins extraction.
3) A Russian UAV disables the Ukrainian UGV.
4) A second Russian UAV comes in to finish the soldier off.
5) A Ukrainian UAV defends the soldier from the Russian UAV.

🇺🇦 Afghánistán byl proti Ukrajině zajímavá dovolená. Tohle je válka, na kterou NATO není připravené
Spojení z 99 procent drží Starlink. Silnice mizí pod sítěmi, auta chrání klece a homemade balistika z kevlaru. Vojáci neustále sledují oblohu a poslouchají bzučení. Na pozicích mohou zůstat i více než 200 dní. Český dobrovolník @Mac_Volonter popisuje válku, která podle něj v mnoha ohledech připomíná sci-fi.
The most important thing a high IQ man must understand is that there is zero inherent value in intelligence. It is a means in your arsenal toward the ends of your accomplishments. If you accomplish nothing, your intelligence is worth nothing.
As a teenager reading about the decline of the Ottoman and Habsburg empires, I couldn't understand why they mostly just let it happen. Why not reform urgently, slash the bureaucracy, race to adopt the new technologies?
Much less confused these days.
