This sounds like one agent at each junction point, that may or may not be running the same model and architecture as the previous one, and they need to constantly crawl each other or just a protocol to call each other. But then you have a million of then constructing a docuverse web all having an agent who all need to know each other and its all connections and each a database repository.

Well you only need links that exist, and those that are created.

In a paragraph it may exist in one node that is referenced and that node may be a collection of other nodes, or each sentence or even each word points to other nodes, how much does each model know and what does it keep in its database. A point to the next node is not necessarily durable or versioned, and that goes for each node is connects to.

A single paragraph could have thousands or more sources, references, and each source would need versioning and depending on version it may well point to different nodes in prior or future versions.

A proper version of a paragraph would then need to know this, or expect that all nodes with an agent will be durable and rational and interoperable but if you build on that premise it will not work in the real world.

All unless you keep the docuverse limited in scope to a few data stores and agents who comprehend that spatial universe, and it is a form of an intranet

This is all made possible by broker app on the iPhone / (or other device) to send data back and forward. When I first read the headline I thought it would integrate directly into the Apple ecosystem without needing middlemen which would have been crazy impressive since I believe it is or very near entirely impossible.

Well from his product page for exe.dev and the devtools he mentions

- GitHub closed source - AWS closed source - GCP closed source . Slack closed source - ChatGPT closed source . Claud closed source - though mention only in passing Google Docs is also closed source

Then they hawk a product they are selling: Cloud Pool plan

If you limit the argument to just be the exact thing you have running on your desktop then I think the definition is so narrow its nearly useless.

Your rent payments now, may be quite different in a few months. If you rent an apartment in a desirable location, which is far easier than owning a house in a desirable location, then rent payments are huge.

And comparable or worse than owning a house in farther out.

Your luck with landlords can wary a lot, and your rent payments may increase substantially with little notice. The landlord may also sell the building with either different management or repurpose it for something else and you will have to find a different apartment.

You may also suddenly have unpleasant neighbors. That is true with a house as well, but the distance between you and them is closer in an apartment.

As a dog lover, If you wish to have a big dog your may not be allowed to. If you want a yard to kids to play, you cant. If you want chickens you cant. (I know many in Denver who do) If you wish to install extra cooling /AC/heatpump you probably cant.

None of that negates your arguments fully, but the case is far from as black and white as you make it.

It is depressing how little has changed.

SO this is what pretty much all media does these days right?

Post an article on the newspaper, substack, wherever and then a a link to it on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Blue and wherever else.

The question I why did you edit photos? What was goal? Why were you doing it in the first place?

I guess the thing you have discovered shooting analog is that each click is a finite resource so you spend more time composing and being aware of the scene before you take the photo.

Saving £20 is nice.

Having your 36 snapshots developed at a decent lab will cost you more.

In you are paying them additionally for edits as well you are on longer saving money. You just pay someone else.

Or are you giving it to a company that runs it through an automated usually digital these days sometimes analog machine that develops them automatically? Those machines usually do edits as well. But highly automated ones. (I am not sure they make them anymore)

Having my medium format film developed is far from cheap.

Lightroom is far from the only editor out there and it is not a great editor to start with. Lightroom is a Frankenstein combination of of a DAM and an editor.

You probably will want some form of DAM to organize your photos regardless.

I have been awake too long so I am probably stupid. Please have mercy.

I don't understand. NASA says they goal of landing on the moon in 2028 is not realistic.

They are adding a launch in 2027 to do more testing.

Great.

It will be followed by one possibly two lunar landings in 2028. Are the now 2028 landings primarily testing SpaceX integration?

The Artemis rockets are huge, and extremely expensive. And the build time is considerable.

Now they are planning 3 rockets in two years, each of which is not reusable?

Then they have to build those in parallel, which makes sense but incorporating wha you learn in 2027, into rockets you have already nearly finished seems an odd approach

Is the software good at what it does? Does it give a good return on investment?

That seems like a question worth knowing the answer to.

A second good question is what are the available competitors?

If the NCY Public Hospitals drop Palantir today, What systems will give them the same functionality at a comparable, (hopefully cheaper) price?

You cannot.

iOS is one problem, but it goes for every other device/server/desktop/appliance that you use.

You can take a lot of precautions, and mitigate some risk, and ensure that operations can continue even if something bad happens¹, but you cant ever "be safe".

¹ "" There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don't know we don't know "" (Often attributed to Donald Rumsfeld, though he did not originate the concept.)

Know what bad can happen is difficult.

The different between taxes (you -must- pay (unless X loopholes applies to you)) whereas tariffs are voluntary and even more so then sales tax.

You may chose not to buy any products or goods that requires you to pay tariffs.

Which is the primarily goal to begin with. Influence consumer behaviour.

I realize that for some products and goods there may not be a an alternative choice of products or goods that do have tariffs.

In theory, over time, these will be increasingly replaced by products and services that have the competitive advantage of not having to tariffs applied to them.

Once tariffs are in place for a year or two it is possible that, domestic producers have expand capacity, have created jobs have caused supply chains shift and new production is based on the tariff based price structure

This however takes time. And to what extent it happens is not easy to predict.

Some may think that the next president will remove all tariffs the moment he or she takes office, so it is a short term problem. The problem with removing them all, is if the above has happened, and removing them will destroy American jobs.

Those are exactly the groups that are meant to pay for the tariffs.

A factor in this that is not mentioned is that companies selling goods to the US may have made an effort to lower prices, altering production to lessen tariffs or in other way tried to offset the extra amount US consumers have to pay.

An estimate of that would be quite interesting.

The big problem EUs continuous big talk on digital sovereignty, which is a good and vital concept, is that funding is ridiculously lacking.

Terms used like; “European hyperscale cloud” “Sovereign infrastructure” “Strategic autonomy” “European data centers for critical workloads”

Which ended up in various efforts and projects

Digital Europe Programme, Recovery and Resilience Facility, IPCE

(I am not deeply familiar with EU projects)

I believe funding was around low hundreds of millions (€) total

To build one hyperscaler region might cost around €10 billion.

The second problem is that systems that were suggested out of it still relied on US software stack, US computers, etc.

It is not like the EU member states could not fund it, some estimates say aggregated EU and member states have spent €350 billion in Ukraine.

That is not to say they should not do that, nor to suggest you have to chose one or the other but it is demonstration that EU+Member states can fund massive efforts, If deemed important enough.

and EU+Memberstates so far have not felt an urgency or will to really invest in digital sovereignty.

Some samples of the DSL code and what they sound like would be a good addition. (Or it is already there and I could not find it)

> Syria was an absolute hell under Assad for dissidents,

And now its an absolute hell for everyone. Is that really progress?

Humanitarian Crisis: Over 60% of the population faces food insecurity. Millions are internally displaced, often living in overcrowded, inadequate, and unsafe, temporary shelters.

Economic Situation: The economy is devastated, with skyrocketing prices for basic goods, high unemployment, and a massive depletion of household resources.

Infrastructure and Health: Roughly half of all hospitals are non-functional. Access to electricity, clean water, and sanitation is severely limited.

Education and Safety: Roughly 1 in 4 schools are damaged or destroyed, affecting education access.

The security situation remains volatile, with an elevated risk of violence and armed conflict in various parts of the country.

As of late 2025, the situation remains dire, with continued, significant, and long-term deterioration in the daily lives of civilians.

Do you believe and call on the United States to bomb Iran. Which is the only real offer on the table.

This created absolute hell in Syria, Libya and other nations. Democracy was certainly not delivered.

Are you calling for the US to bomb Iran? Or are you against that?

I fully agree that this is disconcerting form a privacy standpoint, and the danger it poses when Microsoft gets hacked.

As for it being user hostile. I am pretty certain that thousands of users a year are delighted when something has gone wrong and they can recover their keys and data from the MS Cloud.

There should perhaps be a screen in a wizard, Do you want your data encrypted? y,n

If (yes) Do you want to be able to recover your data if something bad happens? (else it will be gone for ever, you can never ever access it again) y/n

Mildly odd given the desperate bots trying to mop up the entire internet that leeches anything.

Wow that piece of real-estate has to cost a bundle.

I am pretty underwhelmed by what this tool does.

There is a list of suspects. It does not say this is sourced by Palantir, but it is at least consumed. [1]

It puts flag on a map where the list says the persons(s) may be. Based on addresses listed in government documents.

It indicates the lists ranking of importance. And whatever links to crimes done or crimes suspected of.

ICE leadership can add priority meta data to the list.

This is not 2026 hyper advanced software. And the government paying huge money for it well that is just public procurement.

I mean imagine

[1] The list itself being pulled from several data sources.

The west have had various forms for this since before the internet, and certainly have huge efforts similar to what you list above, but have in general been far more productive than bots from the other side.

At the top of the pyramid there are also vegetables. For some reason that is left out in some of the media converge.

Kennedy said to avoid the sugary, processed foods that he labels as poisonous to health. (Does any sane person disagree with this?)

“My message is clear: Eat real food,” Mr. Kennedy said (Does any sane person disagree with this?)

> First do it, then do it right, then do it better. Get the ugly prototype in front of users.

Great, give users something that messy, horrible and not fully functional. Customer who spend big for production environments are exploited to "be the outsourced QA"

> But don’t be too quick to attribute its failure to the “ick” factor that many > Westerners feel about bugs.

I think this is a weird wording. I dont think you need to limit the ick factor to "Westerners" There are an awful lot of people out there who would feel the "ick" factor.

And even for some of those who do eat insects, they are specific insects, form specific places, prepared in traditional ways.

Not a powder of insects

This is impolite but it might be that the services you offer are in decreasing demand in general.

Your return customers know what a great show you do and it becomes tradition and they obviously love it.

But the difficulty finding new clients (something we all face) may be partially due the world moving on.

I think we should shut down the current crop of social media but that isn't going to happen anytime soon.

I think an easier way to achieves instead of imposing this on everyone. Social media companies should be required to add paid tier where the individual user can block the types of the user does not want to see, (or just block all of them).

In some places perhaps the government would ban "free social media" and only allow the paid tier to operate.

This in the best case would make the price reasonably low, if the social media company does not want to lose a lot of users. Perhaps even subsidised. At which point the goal set above is achieved.

I think there is a big legal difference between helping preserve books and papers with little regard for copyrights, to then turn around and selling access to large companies.

Can this last?

I envision an army of lawyers and cyber security companies being prepared to unleash a scorched earth campaign that book publishers might want to be part of as well.

At the end it may take down more than just this publication but most others as well.

It seems like an effort to hire newly educated people for a two year program, to work on various efforts in the federal government as something close to on the job training.

Once you are done you can pair up with one of the private partners you had contacted with during your program. (If they want you).

This does not appear to be an effort to hire people to the federal government, but to get cheap labour from new grads who hope to work on something cool.

(But yes they will have to hire the framework people)

We have built a new device. The device is a ring with a button and a microphone. Pressing the button initiates recording of your voice captures voice via the built in microphone and saves it on your phone.

I think it would take a lot of heavy software to process and index the voice notes for the claim "Meet Pebble Index 01 - External Memory For Your Brain" is honest
