Sir Richard Knighton admits the United Kingdom is preparing a major plan to ready the whole country for a major global war.
Everybody, from the military and police to hospitals and industry, has to be ready for the transition to war.
@bschermd Could it be that the cardiovascular system is already inflamed, the turbulence is the straw on the camels back? (Tell me to sit in the corner if I’m way off)
@bschermd Interesting as the same effect although completely different field but in heavy mobile equipment certain parts of the hydraulic system are made with steel pipe instead of rubber hose to reduce eddies or surface friction induced turbulence.
Terence Tao is the greatest living mathematician.
Fields Medal at 31. Solved problems that had been open for a century. Widely regarded as the sharpest analytical mind alive.
And he just told you the thing your entire career is built on is now worthless.
Tao: “AI has basically driven the cost of idea generation down to almost zero.”
For five hundred years, the idea was the prize.
The theory. The hypothesis. The flash of insight a physicist chased for twenty years in a lab before it landed.
That was the bottleneck. That was what tenure rewarded. That was what Nobel committees were looking for.
Gone.
A model can generate a thousand candidate theories for a scientific problem in an afternoon. Not noise. Not garbage. Plausible, structured, publishable-grade hypotheses.
A thousand of them. Before dinner.
The idea used to be the scarcest resource in any room.
Now it is the cheapest.
But Tao went somewhere most people are not ready to follow.
Tao: “Verification, validation, and assessing what ideas actually move the subject forward… that’s not something we know how to do at scale.”
Sit with that.
We automated creation.
We did not automate truth.
We can produce ten thousand explanations for a phenomenon.
We cannot tell you which ones are real.
That is not a gap. That is a chasm.
And it is the most important unsolved problem on Earth right now.
Tao: “Human reviewers… they’re already being overwhelmed actually.”
The entire scientific apparatus was built for a world where a single paper took months to produce.
Peer review. Journal boards. Consensus forged over years of replication and debate.
That infrastructure was never designed for what just hit it.
Journals are flooded. Reviewers are buried. The filters that separated signal from noise for decades were engineered for human-speed output.
They are now absorbing machine-speed volume.
And they are cracking under it.
Tao compared it to the internet.
The internet drove the cost of communication to zero. That did not produce clarity. It produced an ocean of noise with islands of signal buried somewhere inside.
AI just did the same thing to knowledge itself.
Infinite generation. Zero verification.
The person who can produce ideas has never mattered less.
The person who can prove which ideas are true has never mattered more.
That is the inversion nobody is processing.
Every company, every lab, every institution is racing to generate more. Faster models. Bigger outputs. More theories. More code. More content.
Nobody is building the system that tells you which of those outputs are actually correct.
And that is the only system that matters.
Whoever solves verification at scale does not win a market.
They become the filter that all of science, all of engineering, all of human discovery flows through.
The bottleneck of the last five hundred years was producing the answer.
The bottleneck of the next fifty is knowing whether the answer is real.
And right now, according to the greatest mathematician alive, we do not know how to do that at the speed the machines demand.
That is not a research problem.
That is the race beneath the race.
And almost nobody has entered it.
@argosaki The one part that is left out in excerpts is the combining in copper vessel and leaving for set period of time. This on a microbial level I would like learn the reasons for.
Kudos to @SenatorWhitten for asking this important question to @SenatorWong during Estimates hearings: when men and boys are so far behind in education, longevity, health, and wellbeing then why is there no Office for Men?
There is an Office for Women inside the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (@pmc_gov_au) as well as billions of dollars in taxpayers' money going towards women and girls each year. This is blatant discrimination, demonstrating an absence of care for half our population.
This video has been watched two million times, and is being widely shared. It has 39,000 likes, 10,000 comments, and 4,000 reposts (from a single post during the last two days alone). So there's very strong interest and engagement with these issues...
"In Australia men make up 77% of suicides.
They're 95% of workplace deaths.
They only have primary care of their children around 10% after separations.
They are 92% of the prison population.
Boys under 18 are three times more likely to be on ADHD medication.
...and Australian boys make up only 38% of students starting universities."
The answers given by Senator Wong are weak (both intellectually and morally), and this is one of the most embarrassing performances that I've seen from her. Her body language, the smirks and smiles, the projections, patronising tone, uncomfortable laughter, the evasiveness and defensiveness tell you a lot...
When will governments honestly face up to the scale and breadth of the very serious disparities being faced by men and boys, across education, longevity, mortality, health, suicide, and wellbeing? The denigration and undermining of masculinity, which particularly damages our precious boys and gorgeous young men? The harms currently being done to families, and to our communities?
@JosieMcskimming “For reasons that make sense to no one, existing law abiding car owners won’t participate in the car buyback scheme after the Bourke St attack”
I’m genuinely more worried for my safety due to Islamists and extremists owning cars than guns.
The next 48 hours are critical:
With the EU's "emergency meeting" scheduled for tomorrow, we are now on step #4 of our tariff playbook
We expect the EU to take an aggressive, but open approach. They will threaten to cancel the EU-US trade deal, while encouraging President Trump to negotiate.
This is exactly the position President Trump aims to achieve.
US futures will still open on Sunday at 6 PM ET, but the US market will not reopen until Tuesday, due to the Federal market holiday.
This will lead to step #5 and #6 of our tariff playbook below: markets open lower and President Trump plays "hardball."
Ultimately, the road to a trade deal on the Greenland situation will be longer than the recent US-China bout.
Why? Because an acquisition of Greenland can't happen overnight and the EU remains highly opposed to even the idea of such a transaction.
However, if history repeats itself, the sequence of events in this phase of the trade war will remain largely in-line with our playbook below.
History will repeat itself, capitalize on it.
