Obama foreign policy guy says USAID is good because we can't send US troops *everywhere*

“The people who are opposed to aid should realize that this is a very powerful source of strength for us,” President Kennedy told those U.S.A.I.D. personnel in 1962. “As we do not want to send American troops to a great many areas where freedom may be under attack, we send you.” In those days, America was a newly minted superpower, its rising status manifested in the youth of its president and his vision of a “new frontier.” That mind-set led to its own hubris and excess, but it offered people around the world an extended hand. That was something in which Americans could take pride.

In a happy cloudy sky, a pink car is being driven across a rainbow by a smiling anthropomorphic heart. There are hearts everywhere. The vehicle is leaving a trail of hearts. At the bottom of the image there is a prison that looks a lot like Stony Mountain Institution.

This Starmer govt is asking Apple to pretty much get rid of E2E encryption. They oppose the concept of online privacy to a degree that's exceptional even among the Five Eyes. Amazing.

In December 2024 the NSA and FBI joined Canada, Australia, and New Zealand’s cyber security centers in recommending web traffic be “end-to-end encrypted to the maximum extent possible,” in new security best practices. UK security services didn’t join them.

Trump's gaza deal has a provision about getting a specific number of aid trucks in, while Elon has just deleted the US Department of Sending Aid Trucks. This seems bad

c. Starting from day 1, the entry of increased and adequate humanitarian aid and relief and fuel (600 trucks daily to include 50 trucks of fuel, 300 of which to the north), including fuel necessary for the operation of the power plant, trade and civilian equipment necessary to remove rubble, and the rehabilitation and operation of hospitals, medical centers and bakeries in all areas of the Gaza Strip, and the continuation of the above mentioned throughout all stages of the agreement.

Mexico has deployed troops to the border in the past without the threat of tariffs. In 2019, it sent 15,000 troops to its northern border after pressure from Trump’s administration to help slow immigration into the U.S. In 2021, under the Biden administration, Mexico agreed to send 10,000 troops.

A lack of masculine energy at Meta caused them to pay 13 clowns more than the entire training cost for DeepSeek's superior model

The recent scuttlebutt on Twitter and Blind (a corporate rumor website) is that these models caught Meta completely off guard and that they perform better than the new Llama4 models which are still being trained. Apparently, the Llama project within Meta has attracted a lot of attention internally from high-ranking technical executives, and as a result they have something like 13 individuals working on the Llama stuff who each individually earn more per year in total compensation than the combined training cost for the DeepSeek-V3 models which outperform it. How do you explain that to Zuck with a straight face? How does Zuck keep smiling while shoveling multiple billions of dollars to Nvidia to buy 100k H100s when a better model was trained using just 2k H100s for a bit over $5mm?

It was Biden's malicious sanctions on 🇨🇳 — intended to “slow their rate of innovation” per his Treasury Sec — that led DeepSeek to come up with a LLM that's superior to its 🇺🇸 counterparts by ~45x. lmao.

Wasn't China supposed to be crippled by Biden's restriction on GPU exports? Well, the details are fairly technical, but we can at least describe them at a high level. It might have just turned out that the relative GPU processing poverty of DeepSeek was the critical ingredient to make them more creative and clever, necessity being the mother of invention and all.

Remember that fun news broadcast re Luigi when the prisoners were communicating w/the anchors via shouting? Next day, the prison guards threatened to throw guys into solitary if they did it again. 👍

The day after the NewsNation “interview” with E Block aired, the prison’s deputy superintendent threatened everyone in the unit, particularly the guys on the street-facing side, with time in the hole if they yelled from their cell or blinked their lights for the media again.

You’ll notice in subsequent NewsNation interviews outside E Block that guys were still vocal, just not so much with the lights, to avoid being traced back to a particular cell.
