Paul A. Dirac "God is a mathematician of a very high order, and He used very advanced mathematics in constructing the universe."

Elon Musk is now worth $1.3 Trillion dollars and he's using it to build a sustainable economy in space. What a waste. If that money was given to the government instead, we could build 4.5 miles of high speed rail 20 years from now.

I wish this were satire, but it's a real, sitting Member of the European Parliament. 😂

Starmer's most senior advisor- "Kill musks Twitter" A letter from Morgan McSweeney, head of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s office (until his resignation earlier in 2026), outlined strategic tasks and priorities. Among them, the first goal was to “destroy Elon Musk’s Twitter” (now X). Two years ago, an internal document from the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) listed “Kill Musk’s Twitter” as one of its annual priorities. The document also highlighted plans to pressure advertisers, trigger regulatory action in the EU and UK, and push for policy changes in the United States. CCDH was co-founded by Morgan McSweeney, who later became Keir Starmer’s chief of staff. This week, Prime Minister Starmer announced plans that could strip X of certain self-regulation rights. Simultaneously, the UK regulator Ofcom has launched an official investigation into X regarding the activities of Grok, xAI’s AI chatbot. Ofcom has the power to impose fines of up to 10% of a company’s global annual turnover or, in extreme cases, seek to restrict access to the platform in the UK. Additionally, this week Starmer announced the government’s intention to introduce a full ban on social media use, including X, for all children under 16, with the measure set to take effect by spring The British government is also advancing plans that could require operating system developers (such as Apple and Google) to implement scanning tools on mobile devices to detect and prevent the sharing of certain content, particularly targeting child protection concerns. George Orwell would be shocked.

Elon Musk was asked what advice he would give to his younger self. He went completely silent on camera. When he finally spoke his voice was shaking. It wasn't a dramatic pause for effect. He was processing something. His jaw tightened. His eyes dropped. You could see the weight of whatever memory had surfaced. The interviewer waited. The audience waited. When he spoke he didn't give a business lesson. He didn't say "take more risks" or "start earlier" or any of the polished answers billionaires usually prepare for that question. He talked about the pain. Quietly. About how much harder it all was than he expected. About the weight on his personal life. About the relationships lost. The years that disappeared into work. The loneliness that nobody warns you about at the start. He said something to the effect that he would tell his younger self that the price is real and that you have to decide if you're willing to pay it before you start because once you're in you can't stop. It wasn't inspiring. It was honest. The kind of honest that only comes from someone who has built something massive and is sitting inside the cost of it every day. The audience expected motivation. They got a warning. Most people look at the result and call it a dream. The man who built it calls it a price. And when given the chance to talk to his past self, the first thing he wanted to talk about wasn't the achievement. It was the damage.

Few believe the government claims of a Russia plot against Starmer using Ukrainian men but the story made me wonder where does the term 'rent boy’ comes from. The term dates back to at least the late 19th century in Britain. One of the earliest notable uses appears in connection with the Cleveland Street Scandal of 1889. A 15-year-old telegraph boy named Thomas Swinscow. Swinscow admitted during police questioning to working as a "rent boy" at a male brothel in London's Cleveland Street, where clients paid for sexual services. This scandal involved telegraph messenger boys supplementing their income through prostitution and implicated upper-class clients, fueling public outrage and contributing to the cultural climate around Oscar Wilde's later trials.

Big international companies should just tell Starmer to go to hell and stop selling or allowing use of their products in the UK if such measures are demanded.

The BBC and other MSM organisations such as the Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail in 2022 called claims of US bio-weapon facilities in Ukraine conspiracy theories. Are they going to print apologies now the DNI has admitted to their existence. I doubt it. bbc.co.uk/news/60711705

The third man, Petro Pochynok, was charged but acquitted of conspiracy. The ridiculous story the police came up with was that the other two acted on instructions from a mysterious Telegram handler 'El Money' linked to 'Russian networks' aiming to intimidate UK figures. They don't even care we know it's stupid.

Starmer's ban on kids using social media is just a way to impose digital ID on everyone. That's understood. Banning YouTube for kids, which is already heavily censored is absurd. One of the most common uses of YouTube is educational videos showing people how to fix things: electronics, motors, etc. These kinds of videos are not available on YouTube Kids. Starmer has to go, and the whole digital ID policy must be cancelled.

Telegram founder Pavel Durov has accused Western governments of using child protection as a pretext to expand control over online speech and private communications. Durov claims that measures such as the UK’s Online Safety Act and the EU’s proposed Chat Control initiative are being promoted publicly as efforts to protect children, while privately serving a broader political purpose. He pointed to a UK government submission to the High Court, which he said stated that the main part of the Online Safety Act was aimed at “capturing large platforms with significant influence over public discourse.” “They used protection of children as a pretext,” Durov said, arguing that the real goal was greater control over political speech online. Durov added that the appeal to child protection “bypasses logic” and has historically been used by authoritarian regimes to smuggle repressive legislation into law.

Exactly

I have a 17 year old son. What on earth is wrong with YouTube? Revision videos, Maths tutorials, GCSE explainers, Trade skills, History channels, Music lessons. This is not child safety. It is a blunt state filter on what young people can see. One ask. Show the harm data for YouTube specifically, not vague social media panic.

Why do you hate children you monster

☢️You remember? Google optimized Shor's algorithm. The algorithm that breaks asymmetric cryptography (RSA, elliptic curves) once you have a quantum computer with enough Qubits. The US government blocked the paper. So Google published a Zero Knowledge proof instead: a mathematical proof that they have the result, without revealing how. Cryptographic sorcery 🧙 But the Internet is sneaky. Someone launched a contest to re-discover the result with AI. The LLM searches a huge space of circuits (each one a candidate optimization of Shor's), and tests whether it beats the previous best. The clever part: they use the ZKP verifier as the reward function. No false positives, and it turns out to be a very efficient signal. In less than 2 days, the community re-discovered Google's result !!! 🔔15 days later, the LLMs are still improving it. They're already 44% ahead of Google. Hard to say where this stops, ie. what the true minimum quantum complexity for Shor's is. But we will not close the full gap. You still need a Quantum Computer with a relatively large number of qubits. The only thing that changed is that this number drops a little every day, and it has been dropping for 15 days straight.

During the lawsuit against them, we will find out exactly which cretin wrote this terrible lie

It’s important to know that the social media ban for under 16s is not a ban for under 16s. It is a ban on *selected* social media for EVERYONE. Until you identify yourself.

I saw our operations lead added a new MBA credential to his email signature this morning. It looked very flashy next to his name. I don't have an MBA, but I do have a profound understanding of the human spirit. I called him into my office to discuss email etiquette. I asked if he thought his extra letters might intimidate our junior staff. He said he earned the degree over 3 years of night classes and wanted to celebrate it. I explained that celebrating individual milestones in a shared inbox fosters academic elitism. A truly educated leader knows how to blend in. He reluctantly agreed to remove it. I logged “insecure credential flaunting” in his development tracker. Then I added "Chief Empathy Officer" to my own signature just to balance things out.

Not impossible, but definitely requires factories on the Moon and Mars to achieve. By then, I don’t think dollars will be used as currency. Just mass and energy.

Cute theory, let's play it out. A monkey hoards a trillion bananas. The troop, enraged, beats him to death. They gather around the pile to feast at last. But... oh wait, there is no pile. It turns out the "bananas" were shares in a banana-launching company the dead monkey founded. The shares were worth a trillion because he was alive to run it. Now he is dead and the stock is worth $0. The retarded monkeys have clubbed their way into a recession. But it gets worse. Half the "bananas" were tied up in a rocket that supplies bananas to monkeys on the far mountain who had no bananas at all. Another chunk was tied up in a little satellite dish that beamed banana coordinates to the troop after a flood took out their trees. So now they realized they beat to death the only monkey who knew how the dish worked. So the monkeys sit there. No bananas. No rockets. No coordinates to get more banananas. Just a dead body and a powerful sense of fairness as they all now became infinitely poorer. OH And somewhere a smaller monkey watches the whole thing and quietly decides he will never build anything in front of these animals again.
