wouldn't it make sense to train an #llm on source code *and binary*?
if trained on vast amounts that scaffolds enough (hello world > photoshop), it should be able to write super-efficient binary, no?

Leafhoppers (family Cicadellidae) are the best :D
I'm currently preparing a project to present their beautiful diversity (might take a few years, just a side hobby).

Trump's Bored of Peace
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump X.com The United States has spent EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS fighting and policing in the Middle East. Thousands of our Great Soldiers have died or been badly wounded. Millions of people have died on the other side. GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE...... 7:14 AM • 10/9/19
Throwback to 2019:

Turns out a »transnational crime syndicate masquerading as a government« (Kendzior) does not care about the USA as a country.
At this point, I'm quite amazed that this has not sunk in with a vast part of the population.
The same day WaPo reports that Russia has provided Iran with intelligence on locations of US ships, aircraft, personnel and assets in the Middle East, Trump’s Treasury Secretary announces the administration is removing Russian oil sanctions.
it's kind of fun programming with #claude haiku (I'm running out of quota for the week) :) sonnet 4.6 is really good! haiku is like a little idiot programmer in comparison, but they do get some of the easier jobs done!
Super shocking. Given that Russia helped our enemies during Vietnam, Korea, and both gulf wars, who could have guessed this would happen. www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/p...
Like clockwork.
Under a Christian Nation, as understood in this form Christian nationalism, women & non-christians wouldn't vote or hold public office. There's no separation of church & state in its common meaning, there's no space of neutrality between Christianity and other worldviews, so there's no pluralism
they're doing a reverse Black Knight.
'you're dead'
'no, I'm actually fine'
'NO, YOU'RE LYING ON THE GROUND DEAD IN YOUR OWN BLOOD'

Had some more thoughts on the latest between Anthropic and the Defense Department. The story is less about the specifics, and more about the way Anthropic now feels it needs to act to grovel before the Trump admin.
The 1973 oil embargo was seismic event that sent shocks through the US economic, political, and social infrastructure.
It contributed to the demise of the domestic auto industry, the beginning of the homelessness epidemic, and the rise of neoliberalism.
This could be bigger.

There is a saying that when plans for war are made, the enemy has a say. Well, in this case, so do allies who are disproportionately affected.
Energy market analysts say the impact of the Iran War on supply could be bigger than the 1973 oil embargo.
⚠️ Qatar’s energy minister has warned that war in the Middle East could “bring down the economies of the world,” predicting that all Gulf energy exporters would shut down production within weeks and drive oil to $150 a barrel.

She told MEE her daughter dreamed of becoming a television presenter and would sit in front of the TV and listen carefully to the news. “She would then sit at her small desk and try to speak like a news anchor,” Noor said. When Noor arrived at the school, she only found traces of her daughter. “There was nothing left of my child,” Noor said. “She was completely burned. How can I continue living with this grief? She was my only hope in life. She was all my love, my today and my tomorrow.”
they are killing our future. from a single child to the entire planet.
