Eureka!! Hope you all are enjoying the World Cup

A child and a donkey together. The world holds nothing sweeter. When my final day comes, let me be watching my grandchild like this, and I will close my eyes softly.

This Ugandan doctor met the family who sponsored him as a kid. Thanks to them, he was able to access education and is now a renowned HIV researcher.

The Freedom of Speech, and freedom to petition the state with ones' grievances, is an English concept. The American's (who were Englishmen) enshrined it in 1791 – we did not. We should do so now, via the Freedom of Speech Bill (@ASI). From my interview with: @NickDixon

Former PM @trussliz & Toby Young (@toadmeister) discuss the prospect of a "British First Amendment" ..to be passed on day one of a government & renewed by subsequent parliaments... We wrote such a Speech Bill last month, published by @ASI, here: adamsmith.org/research/the-f…

Why do people hate the Welsh Senedd?

Might be a while before they take over.

Ustedes son muy chicos pero en los 80 existió una serie llamada Dinastía, donde la doméstica enceraba muy bien las escaleras.

The Public Order Act (1986) is responsible for an array of Britain's speech issues. It is one of the laws repealed in the model Free Speech Act (2026). The POA: -Convicts 10,000 per year for expression based offences, online & off. -It is baked into OFCOM’s code, leading to media silence on ethnicity. -It is the vehicle used to create a (functional) Islamic blasphemy law in Britain. -Part 19 provides a mechanism to turn lawful expression into a criminal offence if an imaginary hypothetical observer may be stirred to "racial hatred" by that expression.

Richest man in the world

And just like that- the left goes from “NO KINGS!” to “STOP KILLING DICTATORS!” 😂😂

Worth your time.

The math on this project should mass-humble every AI lab on the planet. 1 cubic millimeter. One-millionth of a human brain. Harvard and Google spent 10 years mapping it. The imaging alone took 326 days. They sliced the tissue into 5,000 wafers each 30 nanometers thick, ran them through a $6 million electron microscope, then needed Google’s ML models to stitch the 3D reconstruction because no human team could process the output. The result: 57,000 cells, 150 million synapses, 230 millimeters of blood vessels, compressed into 1.4 petabytes of raw data. For context, 1.4 petabytes is roughly 1.4 million gigabytes. From a speck smaller than a grain of rice. Now scale that. The full human brain is one million times larger. Mapping the whole thing at this resolution would produce approximately 1.4 zettabytes of data. That’s roughly equal to all the data generated on Earth in a single year. The storage alone would cost an estimated $50 billion and require a 140-acre data center, which would make it the largest on the planet. And they found things textbooks don’t contain. One neuron had over 5,000 connection points. Some axons had coiled themselves into tight whorls for completely unknown reasons. Pairs of cell clusters grew in mirror images of each other. Jeff Lichtman, the Harvard lead, said there’s “a chasm between what we already know and what we need to know.” This is why the next step isn’t a human brain. It’s a mouse hippocampus, 10 cubic millimeters, over the next five years. Because even a mouse brain is 1,000x larger than what they just mapped, and the full mouse connectome is the proof of concept before anyone attempts the human one. We’re building AI systems that loosely mimic neural networks while still unable to fully read the wiring diagram of a single cubic millimeter of the thing we’re trying to imitate. The original is 1.4 petabytes per millionth of its volume. Every AI model on Earth fits in a fraction of that. The brain runs on 20 watts and fits in your skull. The data center required to merely describe one-millionth of it would span 140 acres.

Seen this clip many times. Loses none of its power. Partly of course because of that long catch in Branagh’s voice, and Dench’s reaction. But also because this is not about Hamlet, uniquely, or how great his father was, how goodly a King and so forth. It’s about the depth of feeling, and the width and length, that all men lucky enough to grow up with their fathers, have when contemplating them. There is no comparable span through which one grows oneself and watches another through changing eyes, and growing understanding, sympathy and self recognition. We shall not see *like that* again.

Look at that mother's eyes when she hands her baby over
