[Murray Rothbard @MurraySuggests]

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.

The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.

Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.

If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

Choice without control isn't choice. @RedHat_AI lets you run AI workloads across #RHEL, @OpenShift, and @Ansible—the same platforms you already know—without rebuilding your foundation every time the market shifts. Watch the full keynote from #RHSummit: https://t.co/Jt45hjYCoC

[KubeVirt @kubevirt]

KubeVirt has created the following releases to patch security issues:
v1.8.3 (currently missing sidecar shim for amd64 #18037)
v1.7.4
v1.6.6

The project maintainers strongly recommend users upgrade to these most recent versions.

Was a pleasure to join you, @AndrewYNg, and I’m super happy to see this launch! If you’re building AI applications and agents, understanding the underlying inference layer is SO important to managing cost, accuracy, and performance ⚡️ we at @RedHat_AI and the @vllm_project community hope you enjoy!

[Andrew Ng @AndrewYNg]

New course on serving LLMs efficiently -- how do you serve models to many concurrent users at low latency and reasonable cost? This short course is built with @RedHat and taught by @cedricclyburn.

Efficient LLM serving requires efficient memory management. A 70B-parameter model takes ~140 GB just to load the weights. On top of that, every active request needs its own chunk of GPU memory, the KV cache, to store the token context it has built up so far. In this course, you'll learn to reduce a model's memory footprint with quantization and serve it using vLLM, which handles many concurrent requests efficiently through smart memory management.

Skills you'll gain:
- Quantize a model and measure the accuracy tradeoff
- Serve a model with vLLM and watch it handle concurrent requests efficiently
- Benchmark your deployment and make informed tradeoffs between speed, cost, and accuracy

Join and learn to serve LLMs efficiently:

Since our founding, Americans have believed our nation is set apart from the rest of the world. The principles of universal human dignity, equal justice, and merit are what make America unique.

So, if the United States will not stand against crimes against humanity, who will? The defense of human dignity is embedded in our founding ideals and woven into the American character.

How did we reach a point where the world repeatedly witnesses atrocities through global media—from the Rwandan genocide during the Clinton administration to the persecution and murder of innocent civilians in Gaza today—and does nothing to stop them?

Worse still, much of the reporting has been suppressed.

This episode of The Tucker Carlson Show changes that. Oxford professor and Gaza frontline surgeon, Dr. Nick Maynard, lays out evidence suggesting civilians and hospitals in Gaza have been deliberately targeted by the IDF. The world needs to hear this. Watch below:

At some point every Holocaust museum will be forced to include an exhibit on what’s happening in Gaza right now. It’s only a matter of time. Dr. Nick Maynard of Oxford University medical school has been a witness to the genocide.

With Red Hat OpenShift AI 3.4, we are introducing Models-as-a-Service (MaaS) to provide a centralized, secure foundation for AI scaling. Instead of managing fragmented infrastructure across various teams, organizations can now offer private AI models as a reliable enterprise utility. This built-in approach delivers the centralized visibility, usage controls, and governance needed to curb "shadow AI" and unpredictable compute costs.
