I love all those who are like heavy drops falling individually from the dark cloud that hangs over humanity: they herald the coming of the lightning, and as heralds they perish. Behold, I am a herald of the lightning and a heavy drop from the cloud: but this lightning is called overman. (§ 4)

Firebombing is part and parcel of life in the big city and it's important that the Muslim community doesn't look back in anger. Backlash against peaceful Englishmen will not be tolerated.
🚨NEW: An Imam's home was "fire-bombed" in the early hours of this morning in Bolton, England, as widespread unrest continues over attempted beheading by Sudanese migrant Hadi Alodid [@itvnews]

i don't really want to go to bat against leopards, but they've just published 10 years of blogposts about the obligation to eat my face and now they are just getting unnecessarily antagonistic broadly towards my face. sometimes i wonder if they don't perhaps want to eat my face
I don't really want to have to go to bat against Anthropic, but they've just been unnecessarily antagonistic to all of China, then not so subtly to open weight models, and now more broadly open AI research. What's next on the list?

Dario has one song, and he sings it over and over again. I will repeat mine: Anthropic is not an AI company. It is an attempt by the Effective Altruism movement to take over and control AI research and development. The proposals he makes here should remind you of that.
Today I'm publishing a new essay, Policy on the AI Exponential. AI is progressing extremely fast—much faster than the policy process was built to handle. The essay lays out where I think the technology is now, and the action needed to close the gap: darioamodei.com/post/policy-…

BOOOM! WE DID IT! BRAINWAVE TO REAL-TIME MUSIC AI! It has been a life long decades quest to read brain activity and to convert it to words, and/or music, colors and/or images. Today I am very excited to announce with the assistance from Mr. @Grok director of The Zero-Human Lab, we have solved brainwave to music and this is the absolute worse it will be. We found the code using an array of NeuroSky toy chips and our software pipeline connecting to open source ACE-Step 1.5 and a highly modified LoRA model we built for this. The lyric version is in testing now. This would mean that the model will interpret words from the brainwaves and music! Today we have the music side done and the quality and genera will expand. The is the worse it will sound. Your Brainwave Music™️will be cut into 2-5 minute pieces based on a number of factors. The specimen below is from a dream/hypnogogic state I was in last night and I have a recording of my thoughts after the state. The music was made in real-time and GUIDED the dream state with known technology like binaural beats (not easy to hear in this clip) and word back masking. This specimen below shows the interplay of my brain state to the music made by my brain and adjusted to produce profound insights. I solved a very difficult issue in this session with a new AI model. IT FREAKING WORKS! THIS IS OUR FUTURE OF MORE POWERFUL BRAIN FUNCTION! Our goal is to produce a portable device you wear and will be able to give real-time audio and PEMF (skull region), ultrasound (temple region) to maximize creativity and remote viewing. It is very early days but I wanted you to know first! YOUR support of my X account, just by reading this and sharing it, subscribing to my X, buying me a Kofi.com/BrianRoemmele, and becoming a member at ReadMultiplwx.com supports this research. I will open source this at some point and build a device ANYONE can own. Thank you! I love you.
I had a lot of folks laughing at The Human Synapse decoder I built from toys that had the NeuroSky chip. Today with the TRIBE v2 AI model our open source pipeline to move it rapidly in a garage to Thought to Text platforms!

There is a Stone Age tribal war happening in Colombia right now The Misak and Nasa people are fighting over a section of land. Yes this is real, and yes they are using traditional weapons. Video is from May 21st, 2026.
Community note
This video shows a modern land dispute in Silvia, Cauca, that was triggered by a National Land Agency ruling. While initial clashes involved batons, the conflict escalated to include modern firearms and live ammunition, leading to an intervention by the Colombian army. elpais.com/america-colomb…

Single Crystal CVD Diamond Have no doubt, you are at the dawn of an industrial revolution. There is a string of breakthroughs happening throughout upstream industries that all compound. Diamond manufacturing is now able to produce CPU size single crystals wafers. Currently these are marketed as heat spreaders because they have thermal conductivity of 2,200 W/mK which means they move heat incredibly effectively. However, that somewhat misses the wood for the trees… Diamond has physical and electrical properties that exceed traditional silicon, making it uniquely suited for high demand applications. Thermal Conductivity: Heat is the enemy of electronics. Diamond conducts heat better than almost any other known material, about 5 times better than copper and over 10 times better than silicon. A diamond chip can act as its own heat sink. Ultra Wide Bandgap: Diamond can handle massive amounts of voltage and operate at incredibly high temperatures without electrical breakdown. This makes it perfect for high power applications like electric vehicle inverters, power grids, and aerospace technologies. High Frequencies: Electrons move very quickly through diamond, allowing chips to operate at much higher frequencies, which is ideal for advanced telecommunications and radar. Radiation Hardness: Diamond is incredibly resilient to radiation, making diamond based chips ideal for satellites, space exploration, and nuclear facilities. To make a material act as a semiconductor, you have to "dope" it. To do this you inject impurities into the crystal lattice to create a positive (p-type) or negative (n-type) charge. Diamond's atomic structure is so tightly packed that forcing other elements into it is hard. While p-type doping (with boron) has been figured out, reliable n-type doping (with phosphorus) remains a massive hurdle. Theoretical ceilings Band gap Silicon wafer = 1.1 eV Diamond CVD wafer = 5.5eV Clock speed Silicon wafer = 5-6 GHz clock wall Diamond CVD wafer = 1-2 THz clock wall Max Running Temp Silicon wafer = 150°C Diamond CVD wafer = 1,000°C Whilst we etch silicon with photolithography and Extreme UV light, this doesn’t really work with chemically inert diamond. Diamond CVD is currently etched with oxygen plasma etching, but this lacks the precision of EUV. However, we can etch diamond to extreme precision with electron projection lithography. EPL was invented in the 90s by Bell Labs, IBM and Nikkon but abandoned as it was harder than EUV. Electrons repel each other so the beams blurrs too readily. What if we built a femto electron beam? What if we built it to extreme such that it was a ‘single electron’ pulse? What if we build a microscopic "bed of nails" containing millions of nanoscale tungsten or silicon tips (photocathodes). You shine a massive, highly complex femtosecond laser system across the entire array. Every time the laser pulses, millions of tiny tips each fire a single, perfectly straight electron at the exact same time. Turns out, research teams at likes of MIT and Stanford are currently experimenting with exactly this, laser driven nanotip electron emitters. Pair that tool with Diamond CVD substrate tech and we approach the material limits of both semiconductors and nanotechnology. Would require asynchronous logic to escape fatal clock skew and operate at full capability. But I think I will live to see it.

You want the 66 IQ doctor. He'll write you anything you want. This is biohacking 101. Your doctor is merely a vessel for drugs and labwork that you can feed into chatgpt to find out what's actually wrong with you. You don't want these guys thinking too much.
I wanted to see how many American doctors were objectively unintelligent I assembled 9 large-scale American datasets and I found that there are plenty of actually unintelligent people with doctorates The least intelligent non-disabled, valid-score doctor I found had an IQ of 66

Yes, we have been on this “too fragile -> too hard -> too slow -> validation-is-no-longer-essential -> trust-the-bros” path for wayyyy too long. This is not the way.
It's important to realize that much of the slowness one observes in node validation and syncing isn't an inherent limitation of Bitcoin, but an artifact of an inefficient reference implementation-- one that "can't" be significantly changed due to its brittleness in deciding consensus. This is as a result of a belief that "the code is the spec" which results in code that cannot be materially reengineered or rewritten without risk of a chain split. We need to move towards a formal specification of consensus and a multiplicity of modern compliant efficient clients. We shall not trust but verify. hornetnode.org/spec.html @hornetnode

This is wild... Russia seems to be threatening a *commercial* satellite that provides imaging services to Ukraine: ▸ starting about two weeks ago, Russia started maneuvering five (!) of their classified satellites to the same orbital inclination as the ICEYE satellite ▸ these burns were big, on the order of 100 m/s, clearly using chemical propulsion given the speed of the burns — very expensive and deliberate maneuvers ▸ as of last Friday, all five Russian satellites are now co-planar, at ~97.8° inclination, with three of ICEYE's satellites, and aligned in other orbital elements (e.g. RAAN) that make it clear they're specifically targeting this set ▸ I am a little skeptical that Russia is specifically targeting -X36 — there are two other satellites at the same inclination/RAAN (-X37 and -X38) — but the Russian sats are now all within striking distance of -X36, which is why people are concerned about it specifically; the closest cross-track distance is an estimated 500 meters (!!), all while the satellites are orbit 550 kilometers above Earth ▸ Russia has unleashed a cyberattack on a commercial satellite before (Viasat), and it is official Russian policy that commercially-owned infrastructure that aids in military efforts "may be legitimate target[s] for a retaliatory strike.” ▸ there's speculation that this could be a precursor to an RPO mission (meaning: physically grabbing the satellite or some other kind of non-kinetic attack like blinding/jamming) Worth tracking closely. And unfortunately more evidence that space is militarizing, fast.
Russia appears to have maneuvered at least five Cosmos satellites into nearly co-planar orbits with ICEYE-X36, a commercial SAR imaging satellite supporting Ukrainian military operations. integrityisr.com/is-russia-m…
