Accept you will die.
Accept that aging is dying, slowly.
Accept that the meaning of your life isn’t in you — it’s in whatever you intend to illuminate, after turning yourself into kindling and setting it alight with your own free will.

Predicting the Next Decade from 2026 Through the Lens of Hinton’s Immortal vs. Mortal Computing

1.Extrapolating from GPT-5 class LLMs, the energy consumption of von Neumann architecture-based superintelligent computing clusters that far exceed human intelligence makes continued ground-based commercial development increasingly untenable. Once Starship matures, these systems will inevitably migrate to Sun-synchronous orbit along the terminator line—leveraging the Sun, the largest thermonuclear reactor in the solar system, for continuous power generation, while using deep space’s 3K cosmic microwave background for heat dissipation. Otherwise, the energy displacement and environmental burden from remaining on Earth’s surface will simply be too severe.

2.Businesses whose core model relies on server-side cloud computing will gain almost unimaginable competitive advantages once orbital von Neumann superintelligent systems emerge. This will dramatically marginalize companies built on edge computing paradigms.

3.Companies specializing in edge computing devices—such as Garmin and Apple—must invest in and accelerate the realization of CMOS-based Hinton-style mortal computing intelligences in the near future. Otherwise, they risk being “Kodak-ified” or commoditized into white goods appliance brands.

4.For robotics to achieve true household ubiquity—genuinely enhancing quality of life rather than hindering it—setting aside whether motors are the optimal choice for all joints in domestic robots, I believe that perception, cognition, and control alone will require commercially viable mortal computing intelligences. Without this, robots will be either too stupid, too slow, or have prohibitively short operational lifespans.

OpenAI 终于把官方 Prompt 公开了！

直接给销售、产品、工程师、HR、经理、IT、客服、高管……每个岗位都塞了 20-30 个现成能打的高质量提示词包，总量 300+ 个，全部免费拿走用。

以前我们自己调 prompt 像炼丹，现在 OpenAI 直接把丹炉和配方都端出来了😂
尤其是工程师和产品那两包，看完第一感觉是：这要是早点出，我去年少加多少班啊……

@mubeitech Rubio 比較想當Gran Colombia 總督🤣

Marco Rubio is going to be the US Viceroy of Gran Colombia

China's authoritarianism and its territorial expanse are interdependent: to maintain the territory requires authoritarianism, and without authoritarianism, it is impossible to sustain the borders.

The price that the Chinese people pay for persistently supporting this sense of pride in being "the foremost great power in East Asia" is exploitation of economic resources by the centralized government, mistreatment by criminal syndicates, and, when this system can no longer be sustained—that is, when the people are impoverished, local finances are in distress, and the central government can no longer provide financial support—it marks the onset of rebellions akin to those led by Zhang Xianzhong and Huang Chao.

The cost of this Greater Chinese nationalism and sense of pride is, ultimately, the extinction of the population one day.

@pplsartofwar And the cost is Periodic Population Extinction, it seems a new one is going to come

Late last night, I received a final Christmas gift: official notification from the PRC Ministry of Foreign Affairs that I, Palmer Luckey (Male), have been personally sanctioned as a dangerous actor.

I want to thank my family, my team, and my Lord Jesus Christ for this award. Anduril has been sanctioned for a while now, as have many of my peers, but it means so much to finally have my non-existent Chinese assets seized and repurposed. The sanctions also prohibit all Chinese nationals from engaging with me in any way, which should really clear up my social media feeds.

Merry Christmas!

@wodanggangqiang 上繳貢賦的哪是什麼公民？你好一點是居民、差一點那你是共產黨管理的土地上的暫時附著物，一種抽象可再生的土地資源，跟農作物一茬韭菜是同階的

[Ian YT Tsai @zanyking]

@wodanggangqiang 因為你從沒有過自由
一個私有產權沒有保障、司法獨立性不存在、地方自治是辦家家酒、地方徵的稅都歸給中央而地方政府只能靠土地財政各種花式炒不動產來盤活

這種地方哪來的自由？你繳稅、但你能決定稅收該怎麼使用分配嗎？你如果不行、如果沒辦法透過代議政治來影響財稅分配，那你繳的不是稅、是貢賦

The US Is Now Monitoring Britain Like a Failing State

America has just delivered the bluntest verdict on modern Britain: the United States no longer trusts this country to police its borders, protect its people or face the truth about migrant crime. Washington has ordered its diplomats to monitor Britain the way great powers monitor unstable nations – a quiet but devastating admission that Britain is now a liability, not a partner.

The US state department has told its embassies across Europe, including London, to report migrant crime, track how governments handle it, and raise concerns when they fail. That is what nations do when an ally becomes weak, compromised or unwilling to defend itself. You don't rely on its assurances. You verify. You watch. You intervene if you must.

And America has every reason. Britain's border is no longer a barrier; it is an intake pipe. The country has spent twenty years importing problems faster than it can name them, let alone confront them. Washington has seen the grooming-gang cover-ups, the blocked deportations, the asylum farce, the courts that protect offenders while leaving the public exposed. They've watched Britain's political class treat national security as an afterthought and public concern as a moral failing. Now they are acting because Britain refuses to.

Even the language coming out of Washington is a shock. The US calls mass migration an existential threat to Western civilisation. While Starmer's ministers mumble about "compassion" and "pathways," America spells out the truth: the West is being hollowed from within, and Britain is the softest point of entry.

And that is the humiliation. For the first time in living memory, America is speaking about Britain the way it speaks about failing states – nations that can no longer enforce their own laws, control their own borders or protect their own people. Nations that have surrendered the basic duties of sovereignty.

It is a verdict on Starmer, but also on the rotten consensus he inherited. The Home Office can't deport foreign criminals. The courts block removals. NGOs lawyer the system into paralysis. Ministers talk tough and act weak. And as the consequences mount, Westminster hides behind euphemisms and press releases.

America isn't "interfering." It's bracing for the fallout. If Britain won't protect itself, Washington will protect itself from Britain. That is how low we've sunk.

The tragedy is that the Americans are right. Britain no longer behaves like a nation that intends to survive. Our governing class clings to an ideology that treats control as cruelty and national interest as taboo. Meanwhile the country absorbs the real-world cost: fractured streets, rising crime, a fraying social fabric, and a public left to fend for itself.

When your greatest ally starts monitoring you because it no longer trusts your judgement, it means one thing: the decline is visible from across an ocean.

This is the warning. America has sounded it. Britain's leaders choose not to hear it. And unless the public forces a reckoning, the next verdict won't come from Washington, it will come from events at home.

"They've watched Britain's political class treat national security as an afterthought and public concern as a moral failing. Now they are acting because Britain refuses to."

I guess to news reporter and journalist, old news and legacy concepts are more exciting
