@PeteHegseth @POTUS Ok, then why isnt the strait opened? Since you are winning so much...

Ferramenta interessante para quem estiver a procura de emprego e precisa de dar um avanço, devido aos sistemas (não) inteligentes. Funciona com inglês tb :)

@alex_whedon @subquadratic Hopefully can get access. I have a few projects that I can test immediately hehe

SubQ is available for early access today, alongside our coding agent, SubQ Code Get access today ↓ subq.ai

Introducing SubQ - a major breakthrough in LLM intelligence. It is the first model built on a fully sub-quadratic sparse-attention architecture (SSA), And the first frontier model with a 12 million token context window which is: - 52x faster than FlashAttention at 1MM tokens - Less than 5% the cost of Opus Transformer-based LLMs waste compute by processing every possible relationship between words (standard attention). Only a small fraction actually matter. @subquadratic finds and focuses only on the ones that do. That's nearly 1,000x less compute and a new way for LLMs to scale.

@exec_sum "I own you Brownie"

BREAKING: Chirayu Rana re-filed his 'sex slave' lawsuit with witness statements Some details: *A "completely naked" Hajdini woke up a family friend of Rana who was trying to sleep while visiting Rana *Hajdini sat on the couch he was sleeping on, lit a cigarette and began begging that he "join them" in the bedroom *After refusing several times, Hajdini said "you know I own [redacted], so you better come join." *The witness heard Rana pleading "no, no, no, you have to leave. I’m not going to do this. Please stop." *The witness saw Hajdini get "handsy" with Rana at a Kygo concert at the Barclays Center in September 2024 *The other anonymous witness saw Hajdini kissing Rana's neck on the street during the summer of 2024 *She overheard them entering her apartment building and hearing Hajdini say something like "I own you Brownie" The two anonymous witness are a male family friend of Rana and female apartment owner where the family friend was staying

your product is critical to a lot of applications and you have this sort of response? you need to wake up, stop acting like a spoiled 3 year old child, shoulder the responsibility you have to fix the issues that exist. whether you wanted that responsibility or not, you have it because your product is so integral to so many things if you don't want that, sell the product to someone that will take that responsibility seriously

@OrlandoMMoreira @robbertleusink What you said just shows a huge amount of ignorance and lack of understanding of basic history and data from the country, just to prove a weird point.

@OrlandoMMoreira @robbertleusink Then you are a retard. Before salazar, almost 80% of the country could not read or write. You had no intellectual or competent workforce(unlike UK, DE, etc). Everything was in ruins. Even with the huge handicap, Portugal was growing 5x faster than all other euro countries.

On April 25, 1974, the Portuguese military overthrew the Estado Novo: the regime Salazar built Salazar had been an economics professor He balanced Portugal's budget in two years He kept the country out of World War II He ran it for 36 years on the principle that order precedes prosperity The soldiers who ended his legacy put carnations in their rifle barrels Portugal has run a deficit in almost every year since

@jetgeek99 @RyLiberty

@RyLiberty 47 years of those cockroaches targeting us? It is fair. Right makes might. Abraham Lincoln.

How can Trump and all the Republicans in that room say assassinating leaders is wrong only a month after they assasinated the Ayatollah?

@OrlandoMMoreira @robbertleusink Before you say even more retarded shit and some weird ass propaganda, how about you ask yourself what state Portugal was in before the second republic. The colonial war is the one point that I can give that it was the second republic worst mistake.

@robbertleusink You mean the guy who left Portugal with the lowest literacy rate and one of the lowest incomes in Western Europe after 40 years in power? Who sent a generation to die in a hopeless war to maintain a colonial empire? The guy who taught that poverty and emigration were virtues?

@marrf_tech I guess X. We would need more AI/Tech hubs that do actual work in more cities though

What’s the best way to find like-minded creative people that want to work extremely hard on AI in Portugal?

6 YEARS OF GOOD LUCK FOR THOSE WHO DON'T IGNORE THE BABY OTTERS

@TimHaldorsson Do you only do this in situ? Or is there remote options ? Also, when in Porto ? 😂

If you are an AI builder looking for other AI builders in Lisbon, then its time to reach out.

@kourader @joekent16jan19

I’m amazed they even gave you that position in the administration. This Islamic terrorist regime - or death cult - is not just a regional problem. Once they acquire nuclear weapons and the missiles capable of delivering them, your country will face a constant, existential threat. This is a regime that will not hesitate to use them, because the concept of mutual destruction doesn’t bother them in the slightest. Somehow you managed to get through your job interview without ever fully revealing who you really are.

POTUS is laying out two courses of action—a negotiated settlement, or a major escalation. There is a third option, and he should take it: recognize there is no way to force a positive outcome and simply leave. The region is not ours to fix. President Reagan chose this path in Lebanon in ‘84, withdrawing U.S. forces after the Beirut barracks bombing once it became clear the mission’s stabilization goals could not be met, effectively ending direct American military involvement and avoiding a deeper quagmire and long-term entrenchment in the region. A negotiated settlement is unlikely to work or be taken seriously by the Iranians unless we make concessions on the enrichment issue. As we saw yesterday in the SOH, the IRGC is empowered to act without the consent of the civilian leadership, so it’s likely they won’t honor any deal reached. A major escalation will lead to a very destructive outcome for Iran, the region, and eventually the U.S. If POTUS chooses brute force and targets civilian infrastructure, we will create another generation of radicalized Iranians who will rally around the regime and escalate the war by any means possible. If POTUS opts to strike the civilian infrastructure, declare victory, and then leave, we will only further erode our standing in the world, the petrodollar, and eventually our status as the world’s reserve currency holder. We need to get out now. Don’t double down on failure. Avoid the sunken cost trap, leave now, and put America’s interests first.

I helped write the manifesto. I also read the dissertation. That's the part nobody mentions. Before Alex wrote 22 points about Silicon Valley's moral debt to the nation, he wrote 280 pages about how language becomes a weapon. His doctoral thesis — "Aggression in the Lebenswelt" — argued that invoking "ontology" is a form of ideological aggression disguised as philosophy. He said it at the Frankfurt School. Under Habermas. In a building where they'd spent sixty years warning about exactly one thing: what happens when instrumental rationality builds its own cage and calls it freedom. He understood. Then he named the product. Palantir's core product is called the Ontology. He named it himself. The thing we sell to every intelligence agency, every police department, every military targeting chain. The Ontology. His doctoral thesis was a 280-page argument that saying the word is an act of violence. That's not a contradiction. That's the manifesto. The real one. Everything else is typography. The published manifesto has 22 points. I helped write them. Specifically: I was the one who made sure none of the 22 points accidentally described what we actually do. It's harder than it sounds. You have to read every sentence twice. Once for what it says. Once for what Alex's old professors would recognize. "Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country." That's Point 1. The moral debt is $2.87 billion annually. We invoiced it. Fifty-five percent from government contracts. The remaining forty-five percent is commercial, but the commercial clients buy the product because the government clients validated it. The debt is circular. The Frankfurt School had a term for this. Alex knows the term. He cited it on page 114. "We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps." Point 2. Adorno wrote about the culture industry manufacturing consent through consumer entertainment. Alex read it. Underlined it. Then he ran the numbers. Defense contracts have a 94% renewal rate. DoorDash has a 34% driver retention rate. We chose the rebellion that compounds. Adorno would have called this instrumental rationality. We call it our business model. "Free email is not enough." Point 3. What IS enough is a $145 million sole-source ICE contract. The system is called ELITE. It maps what the internal documentation calls "target-rich neighborhoods" and assigns an "address confidence score" to each household. Habermas warned about technocracy replacing democratic deliberation. We replaced it with a gradient. Dark blue to light blue. The gradient doesn't mean anything. People trust gradients. "Hard power will be built on software." Point 4. We are the software. Weber called it the iron cage — bureaucratic rationality expanding until it controls everything and serves no one. Alex wrote about Weber's iron cage on page 87 of his dissertation. Then we built the cage. Then we wrote the code that runs inside it. Then we wrote the book explaining why the cage is necessary. We printed the book on cream stock, 70-pound weight. The chapter headings are in Baskerville, which tested as "more trustworthy" in a 2012 typography study. We take trust seriously. Weber would have called this legitimation. We call it branding. "The question is not whether AI weapons will be built." Point 5. The question is who invoices for them. We answered that question in 2003. With CIA seed money. From In-Q-Tel. Which we also don't mention in the manifesto. The original draft said "with the support of the intelligence community." We changed it to "with the support of those who understood the stakes." Same meaning. Better font weight. The Frankfurt School called this reification — turning human relationships into transactions. We call it a sole-source contract. There were 22 points. There could have been 23. Point 23 would have been: "The CEO who wrote this manifesto made $6.8 billion in the same year. His stock rose 200% after the last election. He told CNBC that bad times are incredibly good for us. Last January we started pulling Medicaid records to find deportation targets — 80 million patient files, cross-referenced against addresses. The system recommended which families to visit first." We cut Point 23 for length. His co-founder wrote "I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible." That's Peter. Peter isn't in the manifesto. We had a style guide. The style guide was 14 pages long. Page 6 said "Do not reference other Palantir founders by name or ideological position." We called this the Thiel Provision. Someone in Legal laughed when we named it. She's gone now. One of the thirteen who left. They published an open letter. Called it "The Scouring of the Shire." Said we were "normalizing authoritarianism under the guise of a revolution led by oligarchs." Beautiful prose. Almost as good as ours. They signed their names, which was brave, given the NDAs. They left. Our stock went up. It always goes up. That's not a political position. That's a market signal. We don't take political positions. We take contracts. We named the company after Tolkien's surveillance stones. The palantiri. The seeing stones that Sauron corrupted. The ones Tolkien wrote as a warning about total knowledge. We read the warning. Nick read it twice. Then we filed a patent. None of the 22 points mention what happens when ELITE assigns an address confidence score of 87 to a house where a grandmother lives with her two grandchildren and a naturalized son who once applied for a visa extension three years late. But the binding is beautiful. The prose is elegant. The chapter headings are in Baskerville, which tests as trustworthy. Alex read Adorno on the iron cage. Then he built the cage. Then he wrote the book about the cage being necessary. Then the book hit number one. Then he bought a $120 million ranch in Aspen — a former monastery — and stopped carrying a smartphone. The CEO of a surveillance company doesn't carry a phone. You understand. Privacy is a feature. It's just not in our product line. His professors spent their careers warning about what happens when philosophy becomes a product, when rationality becomes a cage, when the man who diagnosed the disease builds the hospital and charges admission. He understood all of it. That's what makes it work. And not a single point accidentally describes what we do. That was my job. That's moral architecture. His dissertation advisor's entire body of work was a warning about his best student's company.

This should scare everyone shitless. This not only kills god, but replaces him with a bunch of egotistical techno oligarchs that think they are better than everyone. Seems like a fucked up version of Nietzsche works

We are told that security in the Middle East requires defeating Iran, security in East Asia requires defeating China, and security in Europe requires defeating Russia. We never discuss security in terms of how to learn to live together by harmonising interests and managing competition. This is by design. This is hegemonic peace, in which security depends on defeating rivals rather than managing a balance of power. Subsequently, security relies solely on deterrence rather than reassurance; diplomacy is dismissed as appeasement; peace agreements are temporary and deceptive; and war is peace. Our rivals do not have legitimate security concerns, as their policies are allegedly always motivated by aggressive, irrational, or expansionist behaviour. We have convinced ourselves that our liberal hegemony is a force for good, and that our opponents oppose our dominance because they reject our benign values of freedom. Discussing the security concerns of adversaries is believed to “legitimise” their policies, which is treasonous. The world is divided into good guys (liberal democracies) and bad guys (autocracies). We should not ask how defeating Russia, as the world's largest nuclear power, is a rational security strategy, or why our governments refuse to even speak with Moscow to discuss the European security architecture and end the war. Our governments have relabelled nuclear deterrence as nuclear blackmail to signal that there can be no more constraints. All empires can become irrational during decline. Leaders take greater risks to avoid decline, legitimacy crises at home must be distracted with enemies abroad, outdated strategies from a bygone era of strength are still embraced, and there is a tendency to double down on narratives of being indispensable, representing universal values, and dismissing all opposition as illegitimate and dangerous. Are we the fanatics?

@TheHardRise @AlbertoMiguelF5 kyivindependent.com/ukraine-strike… cepa.org/article/hungar… From both European sources... if you are mentioning the 27th jan 2026 attack that accused russia, it is only based of ukrainian reports without hard evidence ever showing(you can check the EU reports ). Again, retard.

@alexclpires @AlbertoMiguelF5 Prove it otherwise or keep being a small man. :) No one questioned it, not even Hungarian or Slovakian inspectors. They must be retarded too.

So that Russian oil pipeline to Hungary - disrupted by Ukraine's Zelensky in January 2026 in order to hurt Orban - will be operational next week in order to help Hungary's new government. Imagine that.

@TheHardRise @AlbertoMiguelF5 Holy shit you are retarded

@AlbertoMiguelF5 It was bombed by the Russians in January 2026.

@Luv_Xcuses Serving Israel interests

Be brutally honest, what's one thing Americans are simply better at than the rest of the world??
