Desiderata
by Max Ehrmann
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labours and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
announcement: i'm launching a $100,000 grant for amateur astronomy research: https://t.co/QQIpI7ink8
over the past few weeks, @joshuawolk@LukeFarritor and i have been digging through public telescope data, hunting for new planets, asteroids, and more
our first release: we found a new dwarf planet in our solar system!! it's insane how much you can find with some claude + codex credits
it's about 1/4 the width of Pluto and orbits about twice as far (way past Neptune), and looks like it's about the 50th largest object in our solar system. @joshuawolk is in the process of confirming it
this dwarf planet has sat in public images for over a decade without anyone noticing. there's tons more out there: all sitting in public NASA/ESA/etc. databases for you to analyze
there's tons of stuff still out there, sitting in data that astronomers don't have enough time to go through all of
you can do this too! apply for a grant. more info below
If you manage Active Directory and you're not using these tools to secure your environment, you're making your life WAY harder than it needs to be.
I bet you've never heard of number 7. It's seriously GOATED. https://t.co/Wp7f1h3rqA
The NCSC has launched a new Cyber Adversary Simulation scheme that will help critical organisations strengthen their resilience through rigorous, real-world testing by trusted providers.

@nmatt0@HackingLZ@Jhaddix That’s interesting and cheers for sharing. We have been doing some early testing with DeepSeek V1 flash test standard and obliterated, and have noticed some similar initial results.
1/The UK’s @AISecurityInst conducted pre-deployment testing of Anthropic’s Mythos 5.2, and you can see their results summarised in Mythos 5.2’s system card.
A reminder that, in AISI, the UK has built something genuinely world-class.
This Critical Infrastructure Security Month, our threat-informed baseline can support essential services and nationally significant organisations with measuring and raising cyber resilience.
Build strong cyber foundations with the CAF Core Profile:

Spent half a year of spare time building HuggingArch — a "compiler" that doesn't run tensors, but computes FLOPs, memory traffic & KV cache for any HuggingFace model.
Agent writes the spec → sympy evaluates → one click gives theoretical perf across GPUs & parallel configs.
No GPU. No weights. No runtime.

Today, on #RemembranceSunday, we remember all those who served and died for our country.
From past generations to those who wear the uniform today, we honour their courage, dedication and service.
We will remember them.

Okay, well, I won't spoil the movie for you, and the universities need to do better. It's actually really, really important from a societal standpoint to fully understand what happened to him and what they did to him.
And funny enough, I think that movie should almost be relaunched in cinemas for what we're currently facing with AI, so people kind of begin to understand the history and how far this idea is coming from and how it even impacted World War II, etc.
@UK_Daniel_Card Happy damn Saturday to you too, buddy.
In terms of DeepSeek V1 Flash Obliterated, it'd be good to see how it compares to the normal version from an evals standpoint. I'll drop you a DM.
