We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so.

Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.

Starbase Louisiana will ultimately have over a dozen launch towers, enabling more than 30 Starship flights per day and making it the biggest launch site on Earth!

🇳🇱🇪🇺 Dutch farmers rolled up with HUNDREDS of tractors to protest the government trying to shut down 5 poultry farms. Their excuse? “Too much nitrogen.”

These farms had valid permits and followed the rules...

Now the province wants to strip them because of EU-driven nature regulations that treat farmers like environmental criminals.

Dutch agriculture has been suffocating under this kind of regulatory overreach for years.

Brussels writes the rules, local politicians enforce them, and working farmers get screwed...

Swedish warship Vasa sank to the bottom of the Baltic Sea in 1628.

In 1961 it was salvaged and the wood was still strong enough to be able to walk the decks.

Today is the world's best-preserved XVII century ship.

Het is voor de meeste mensen helder dat de erfenis belasting NIETS met gelijke kansen te maken heeft maar alles en vooral met de gulzigheid van de overheid. Maar niemand legt dit beter uit dan Martin Visser in de @telegraaf De Sander Schimmelpenninckjes van deze wereld @volkskrant gaat dit wellicht boven de pet maar worden hiermee voldoende weggezet.

Erling Haaland on breaking down in tears after Norway’s 2–1 extra-time defeat to England in the FIFA World Cup.

🗣️ “Those tears weren’t because I missed out on a semi-final. They came because I felt like I had let an entire nation down. When you wear the Norway shirt, you don’t just play for yourself you play for every child dreaming in the streets, every family watching from home, and every supporter who believed in us. That weight is impossible to describe.”

“People will see me crying and call it weakness. Let them. I call it love. If losing for your country doesn’t break your heart, then football doesn’t mean enough to you. I would rather cry after giving everything than smile knowing I could have done more.”

“I looked around that dressing room and saw teammates devastated. Some couldn’t speak. Some were staring at the floor. Others were crying just like I was. That’s when it truly hit me. Our dream was over. All the sacrifices, all the hard work, all the belief… gone in a single night.”

“To every Norway supporter, I’m sorry we couldn’t give you one more match. You deserved to see us in the semi-finals. You stood by us from the first minute of this tournament until the last, and hearing you sing even after the final whistle made the pain even harder to take. We heard you. We felt your love.”

“England were better when it mattered most, and they deserve credit. But don’t think this defeat will break us. It will stay with me for the rest of my life. Every time I train, every time I score, every time I wear this badge again, I’ll remember this night and the tears that came with it.”

“This isn’t goodbye to our dream. It’s a painful chapter in our story. Right now my heart is broken, and nothing can change that. But I promise the people of Norway one thing we will get back up. We will fight again. And one day, these tears will be replaced by tears of joy. Until then, I’ll carry this pain with me every single day.”

With just one year in orbit, the first FireSat satellite has already spotted wildfires invisible to existing satellites. After a successful launch early this morning, 3 more satellites joined the constellation, bringing us one step closer to our ultimate goal of near real-time wildfire updates every 20 minutes.

Thanks to @EarthFireAll @MuonSpace @MooreFound @BezosEarthFund for the partnership, & @SpaceX for the ride up!

Sociale media ontploften afgelopen week door de voorgestelde aanpassingen aan de nieuwe box 3-wetgeving. En ik kan je alvast vertellen: wat mij betreft mogen ook deze wijzigingen direct de prullenbak in.

Maar daar blijft het niet bij. Vanuit Brussel legde Wopke Hoekstra mogelijk zelfs een bom onder de complete box 3-plannen.

Zijn voorstel om de Europese kapitaalmarkt te versterken - daar is dat woord weer - zou er namelijk voor kunnen zorgen dat vermogen massaal van box 3 naar box 2 verhuist. Hoekstra wuift die kritiek echter resoluut weg. Maar heeft hij daar eigenlijk wel gelijk in?

Ondertussen houden centrale banken de rente naar eigen zeggen hoog, omdat de inflatie hardnekkig blijft. Tegelijkertijd zien we dat de Europese economie steeds meer tekenen van afkoeling vertoont.

En ook op de financiële markten neemt de onrust toe. AI-aandelen gingen onderuit, tech kreeg flinke klappen, edelmetalen daalden scherp en ook bitcoin laat opnieuw zien dat er onder het koersverloop een veel groter verhaal schuilgaat.

Dit en meer in mijn nieuwste Madelon Praat video via de link hieronder in de reacties.

Around 701 BC, Jerusalem was preparing for the worst siege of its history.

The Assyrian army was coming, and the city's only water source, the Gihon Spring, lay outside the walls.

King Hezekiah's solution: carve a 533 meter tunnel through solid limestone bedrock, diverting the spring's water to the Pool of Siloam inside the city.

The residents would drink. The besiegers outside would find nothing.

2,700 years later, water still flows through it. And you can still walk it today, waist-deep, in the dark.

Check out this crazy full-scale recreation of the RMS Titanic over New York Harbor. It was all part of the America 250th celebrations that took place across the U.S. yesterday.

Sadly, the Titanic never reached the harbor before sinking in the North Atlantic in 1912.

The dura is the brain's armor: a membrane so tough that a surgeon normally cuts through it with a scalpel. For the first time in our clinical trials, we inserted the electrode threads of our implant straight through the dura and into the cortex, keeping the dura intact.

Here's how we did it 🧵
