Stalin did a genocide and was actually fine with Hitler doing one, too.

Comment from a math professor on the quality of the latest proofs.

This is becoming a pattern in AI that makes talking about capabilities challenging. First, there are overstated claims (like the flubbed Erdos problems that were announced last year), then minor wins (AI helps with discovery) then breakthroughs. The first stage feels like (& often is) hype, but…

this is a really dumb story that I'm sure I will see 50 times today. company goes out of business, sells its IP for $1, sells its warehouse space for $2. this is what their stock "exploding" looks like

The US has lost a $238 million MQ-4C Triton surveillance drone over the Persian Gulf.

Imagine dedicating your life to incel looksmaxxing so much that you've smashed yourself in the face with a hammer only to have a regular reporter from 60 Minutes Australia completely outmog you. (Clavicular eventually walked off the interview)

Gas tax breaks are bandaids at best. Real solution is to help low & middle-income Cdns get off fossil fuels. Invest in solar, heat pumps, batteries, EVs. Tackle barriers, offer real incentives & fund w/ windfall tax on Big Oil (who are laughing all the way to the bank). Cleaner, cheaper, healthier.

I'm sure "there's one thing that's worse than being uneducated" is going to go over well with his disproportionately uneducated supporter base. #cdnpoli

All elementary functions from a single binary operator He shows that a single binary operator, eml(x, y) = exp(x) − ln(y), together with the constant 1, generates the standard repertoire of a scientific calculator. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2603.218...

No, it’s funny. We used to be a proper country, what have you

Some pictures are worth a lot more than a thousand words. Congratulations to everybody in this one.

#cdnpoli alt take: Or… we could let the oil situation accelerate electrification and use the $billions saved by not cutting gas taxes to support families hurt by fuel inflation thru a boost in the CCB and GST credits.

an absolutely gigantic piece of this is that “house” and “car” keep getting bigger and better while still counting in our heads as “one house” or “one car”

To be clear, it increased a lot from 1980-1990. fred.stlouisfed.org/series/SIPOV...

For context: 129 ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz daily (on average) before the war began, via UNCTAD.

the fact that he’s using it for propaganda makes me regret ever painting this

Perhaps Magyar's most important promise, and the one that certainly resonates with voters: "never again a country without consequences!" The crowd chants: "To prison! To prison!" [with the corrupt officials of the outgoing government]

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces will begin implementing a blockade of all maritime traffic entering and exiting Iranian ports on April 13 at 10 a.m. ET, in accordance with the President’s proclamation.

A huge blackpill moment for me as a guy who straddles the Atlantic was when a whole group of Bernie 2020 people I am friends with earning ~$100k were aghast that *they* would have to pay a lot in extra tax to get Medicare for All

I have a long-running Claude session just for talking about Iran war news/economic shocks from the blockade. I shared the latest Trump tweet and it told me that it can no longer keep role-playing this fictional scenario because it's becoming concerning and detached from reality. Love this timeline.

lmfao

This is so on brand. You can’t break up with me because I broke up with you first. (Don’t worry none of this will get in the way of a round of golf today)

Yes. And why pretend for a moment that if it were dropped, there wouldnt be a hassle over something else? www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I've seen countless bad pictures of this man and this might be top 5 worst he's ever looked

Trump: The Strait will open up automatically. We'll open the Strait anyway. We don't use the Strait. It won't be easy. We will have that open fairly soon. You don't need a back up plan

We all knew. Anyone who had any connections to California Hill members knew. I worked on the Hill 10 years ago as senior staff for a NorCal Congressman. We all knew. Swalwell groomed his interns and young staff over SnapChat. The fact that it took so long is an embarrassing failure all around.

Can't pardon from a rope.

American aid has dried up. Europe's aid is being held up by a Putin stooge. Canada has the power to finance Ukraine's self-defense: so let's do it. www.thestar.com/opinion/star... (Posting again because the link didn't unfurl properly the first time.)

something that wrinkles my brain every time I remember it is the fact that total eclipses are only possible on earth because the moon and sun appear to be the same size in our sky, due to the insanely, astronomically unlikely fluke that the moon is 400x smaller than the sun but 400x closer to us.
