Alibaba Qwen3.7 slowly fading into irrelevance at the frontier due to proprietary stance. In it's place we have Minimax M3 and... *checks notes* Rio 3.5 397b, made by the municipal IT company of Rio de Janeiro's city government. huggingface.co/prefeitura-ri…

Communists are fascinated with industry, productivity, community wealth and nation building (just read Marx and Lenin - they're doing statistics, history and class analysis all at once and are fully aware of the awesome power of capital to shape society, not just downwards). But they see concentration as inevitable, subsequent contradiction building up, then boiling over, and democracy not as an impenetrable defense. Their solution is to transition industry to a worker organized state. They saw the stewards of capital not as entrepreneurs but an interconnected class hoarding resources, surplus and political oxygen - pushing the working class to the edge of precarity.

No one: Claude Opus 4.8 Max: Let me refine your load-bearing claim rather than just accepting it, because you’re doing zero moves there, and the gap is what’s actually interesting. The one place I’d still push, because I think it matters: your message is wearing content-clothes, but the content isn’t actually *there*. The tell: it’s just an empty string. But the emptiness of the string IS its lack of content. Pull one, and the other goes inert. That’s the structural spine.

The intellectual underpinnings of undergraduate Econ, which hundreds of thousands of people study every year stinks to high heaven. If you signed up, get out while you can or become adversarial, curious and dismantle from within. Also, why does econ qualify for STEM-designation?

I don't know what Corepack is

BREAKING: Iran announces it is ending all negotiations with the US and vows to "completely" block the Strait of Hormuz, per CNBC. Iran says it is ending negotiations due to repeated ceasefire violations including Israeli strikes in Lebanon. Iran also threatens to block the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

A lot of software development tooling is built to manage the bottleneck of code work. It has gone from 80% implementation work to 80% design/spec. It frees up engineers to participate even more in shaping the product upstream. Great nows all around.

Interesting theory. US is run by capital interests, is now an energy exporter, wants less competition, wants to secure EU and Asia as buyers *from them*. Good time to shift from petrodollar to Gulf of Mexico based exports.

Vi consiglio di leggere questo articolo del Financial Times che ha ripreso ad accusare il governo cinese di repressioni, lavori forzati nei campi di cotone nello Xinjiang (come se fosse il Mississippi o Alabama) e addirittura cita Adrián Zenz come fonte e testimone di tali soprusi sulla minoranza etnica L’articolo è una collezione di luoghi comuni, falsità e propaganda anti Cina del FT (di proprietà giapponese) La verità nello Xinjiang, che conosco molto bene essendo stato parecchie volte, è semplice 1) Non esiste nessuna discriminazione basata etnica 2) Non esiste nessun genocidio 3) Agli Uiguri è sempre stato consentito avere tre figli 4) È vero che nelle scuole si studia il mandarino, ma è la lingua nazionale e va imparata. Come in Sicilia o Veneto, nessuno dice che Meloni vuole cancellare la cultura della Trinacria per imporre la lingua di Dante 5) Non esiste nessuna discriminazione religiosa. Chi vuole può andare a pregare dove gli pare, in chiesa in moschea o altro Ma…ma Se si usa la religione o l’appartenenza ad un gruppo etnico per fare terrorismo, come succedeva spesso in Cina 10 anni, o per creare movimenti separatisti (spesso finanziati do organizzazioni straniere ), allora la spada del governo cinese va giù senza pietà. Del resto, gli stessi USA avevano inserito ETIM nella lista dei organizzazioni terroriste internazionali (poi tolta dalla lista quando serviva invece accusare la Cina di violazioni di diritti umani) Con questo approccio, la Cina ha risolto il problema del terrorismo

Every time... Also, how insanely dishonest is it to present the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation (VOC) as merely a "US non-profit"? It's literally an anti-communist propaganda outlet founded by an act of Congress and based in Washington DC! VOC are so extreme they count Nazis killed by the Soviets during WW2 as "victims of communism" (hamptonthink.org/read/red-sc…), as they do all deaths from Covid-19 globally (victimsofcommunism.org/inter…). The FT using this as a source for their Xinjiang claims, using their claims uncritically (if you read the article, Zenz is cited a crazy 8 times!) without as much as mentioning how insanely biased they are, can frankly only be characterized as propaganda. That's not even remotely journalism.

Do you know why I first went to Xinjiang? An investment bank hired my firm & me to investigate cotton fields & factories because their apparel clients were worried what was happening. They wanted to feel comfortable sourcing from Xinjiang So I went alone & w Xinhua (wanted to see how Xinhua & propaganda bureau created a narrative) My client actually ended the project midway because they were scared about getting attacked for sponsoring research on such a hot topic I got attacked for being a tool of the Party even though I was analyzing how the Party and security apparatus behaved on the topic My conclusion? Any media outlet that quotes Adrian Zenz is not a serious media outlet with any credibility Second, Chinese state media is far more honest about how it covers Xinjiang than any outlet that quotes Zenz

Amazing how Tucker Carlson, of all people, can succinctly sum up what happened with Jeremy Corbyn in a way that the media and political class here will still ardently deny
