Iran is attacking Dimona in retaliation to the Israeli-American strikes on Bushehr last night. But here is the thing, while Iran can complain to the IAEA because it is a member of the NPT, Israel's nuclear program is not acknowledged officially by the Israeli gov. So they can't complain about something that does not exist.
English
Israelis keep thinking in terms of leaders and assassinations and will never understand Iran.
Every assassination signals to Iran the importance of a person and their ways and creates 1000 more of those people.
Unlike the subh*man Neanderthals and their hylics Iranians have an infinite pool of talent.
Israel will be destroyed very soon by Iran.

It's not a question anymore, most of Zig's best features were designed for human ergonomics, which matters less now
All of Rust's best features came at the cost of added verbosity, which applies less to agents because they have superhuman working memory and never get tired

Claude: "The linking failed because the Rust library wasn't rebuilt (it has the cwt errors from before)."
Me: "Just fix the damn error."
Claude: "The user said "just fix the damn error" - but I think they meant the Makefile. The cwt error is pre-existing and unrelated."

@peter_szilagyi @GiulioRebuffo you didn't get the memo? this is the new normal: i build some stuff means my agents will build some stuff

I just tried wallet.tempo.xyz, made a wallet and I will probably build some stuff over the weekend. However, the login experience made me reflect on some things:
1. Account abstraction is actually as easy as the Paradigm bros were telling us.
2. Ethereum needs this ASAP. we can't wait for a bunch of wallets to slowly integrate this. strongly starting to believe that this needs to happen fast and waiting is increasingly a mistake.

My thoughts on the Iran issue.
Thank God that there are leaders who understand the threat and are taking the necessary action to address it. I've been waiting for this for 47 years. I remember, all too well, the day the American hostages were taken, and the 444 days of their captivity. I remember, all too well, the Iranian diaspora, and the horrors that the regime imposed upon it's own people and upon the world. And when it is gone, and buried, with a stake through its heart, I will smile and say: Good Effing Riddance.

@unclebobmartin @scoobyjah @yawwwnnnnnnnn @MaqamatUnKnight @designcoursecom I'm not misinformed. I and many others inherited a world where the results of the decisions and actions of your generation are on full display for all to see. There's no misinformation: it's as clear as day.

@rustynode @scoobyjah @yawwwnnnnnnnn @MaqamatUnKnight @designcoursecom It is rude to speak about someone in the third person while they are in the conversation with you. You're also badly misinformed about us boomers.

A bespoke software revolution? I don't buy it.
It'll exist. It already exists. Small consultants and big consulting firms have made custom software for years. It almost always sucks. It’s bloated, confusing, and because the client pays, it’s built wrong in all the ways.
Who’s excited about bespoke software? Software makers! Of course they're excited about building bespoke software — that's what they do. X is full of them. Your feed is full of people who love making software talking about making software. Of course they’re excited about the revolution. Echo, echo, echo...
Most people don’t like computers. Nobody in tech wants to say that out loud. People tolerate computers. They use them because they have to. Given the choice, most would rather not think about them at all.
So when someone suggests that AI means everyone will build their own custom tools, ask who "everyone" is. The three-person accounting firm drowning in client paperwork? They want the paperwork gone, not a new system to maintain. The regional logistics company with 40 trucks? They want the routes optimized, not Joe spouting off about this new system he’s been messing around with. The law firm billing 70-hour weeks? They want leverage on their time, not a software project to design.
They don’t hate technology. But building and maintaining their own critical systems isn’t their wheelhouse, regardless of how much faster and easier it’s become. It's another job on top of the job.
Will these people use AI? Absolutely, for all sorts of things. Will some outliers go deep and build real custom systems? Sure, but they're almost always people who already had some pull toward software. The curiosity was already there. They were dabblers before.
Giving everyone access to software building tools doesn't mean everyone becomes a builder. A powerful excavator doesn't turn a homeowner into a contractor. Most people just want the hole dug by someone else. They don’t want the responsibility either.

@scoobyjah @unclebobmartin @yawwwnnnnnnnn @MaqamatUnKnight @designcoursecom classically, most americans from his time aka the boomers have been excessively propagandized and still believe "america is a force for good in the world"
no matter the amount of information about the evils of this empire that gets declassified by its perpetrators

@unclebobmartin @yawwwnnnnnnnn @MaqamatUnKnight @designcoursecom I did watch it on your earlier recommendation! But you're not addressing my question. Fair enough. I'll not push it, just trying to make sense of the opposing view point.

At Waffle House this morning the waitress told me, unprompted, "We've got to take Kharg Island. Otherwise we won't be safe."
During my taxi ride home, the driver observed, "They call it the 'Forbidden Island.' Well not for Trump! I voted for him to send our boys to Kharg."

Congrats to the @cursor_ai team on the launch of Composer 2!
We are proud to see Kimi-k2.5 provide the foundation. Seeing our model integrated effectively through Cursor's continued pretraining & high-compute RL training is the open model ecosystem we love to support.
Note: Cursor accesses Kimi-k2.5 via @FireworksAI_HQ ' hosted RL and inference platform as part of an authorized commercial partnership.

Looks like it’s confirmed Cursor’s new model is based on Kimi! It reinforces a couple of things:
- open-source keeps being the greatest competition enabler
- another validation for chinese open-source that is now the biggest force shaping the global AI stack
- the frontier is no longer just about who trains from scratch, but who adapts, fine-tunes, and productizes fastest (seeing the same thing with OpenClaw for example).
Lee Robinson@leerob
Yep, Composer 2 started from an open-source base! We will do full pretraining in the future. Only ~1/4 of the compute spent on the final model came from the base, the rest is from our training. This is why evals are very different. And yes, we are following the license through our inference partner terms.

@mactoni91 @araghchi really hard to understand how these Africans keep carrying the cup for their serial colonizers. The west keeps fucking you, you keep thanking them, even defending them and attributing virtuous ideals to their character

And Americans also haven’t forgotten what happened after hard lessons, real accountability, and a military that adapted.
Pointing to William Westmoreland doesn’t really land the way you think it does. The Vietnam War exposed flaws, yes but it also reshaped how the U.S. handles strategy, oversight, and public scrutiny.
The difference is: those failures were debated openly, criticized loudly, and studied for decades. That’s not weakness, that’s how you actually improve.
Not every country is willing to do that.
English
Americans haven’t forgotten how, even as hundreds of U.S. soldiers were dying in Vietnam, and the outcome was already clear, General William Westmoreland was flown home to reassure everyone that the war was going well — that the U.S. was “winning.”
