Man of all the girls in all the towns in all the world why the spy?
blondie9x··on Alleged Chinese spy had 'close relationship' with Nvidia boss Jensen Huang
Well apparently it was a close relationship.
blondie9x··on Greece has its own Pompeii: Thera buried Akrotiri in ash 17th-16th century BCE
This is absolutely an amazing article. There was one thing in particular that stood out to me and was a bit shocking though. Look how much greener the island was in 2000 than it is today. Unreal and sad how much the changes caused by humans on the climate impact the health and vitality of our planet.
blondie9x··on Backdoor in Claude Code for VS Code extension on the Cursor Marketplace
From https://doublepulsar.com/anthropic-hacked-to-deliver-remote-...

Notable customers who run Claude Code and Cursor on laptops include Binance, amongst thousands of others.

Did the Claude Code plugin hack cause the Binance theft? The timing seems like an incredible coincidence.

What is going on with Megaspeed anyway?
blondie9x··on Today, we hacked what we'd set out to hack: the iPhone
This made me miss Cydia and the old jailbreaking days so much. Was such an exciting time to have an iPhone with the tinkering. Anyone still remember iDitDahText https://iditdahtext.com/iDitDahText.html?
blondie9x··on Google cleared 300 hectares of Finnish forest
Here is the link on the 2 million hectares number https://phys.org/news/2026-10-indonesia-million-hectares.htm...

An unfathomable amount of burning. The worst in history and yes the government numbers are drastically understated, probably intentionally because they get a vast amount of foreign funding to protect the rainforest in the country.

We tried that and unfortunately it isn't working https://www.forestfuturealliance.org/ which was 1t.org before
blondie9x··on Google cleared 300 hectares of Finnish forest
Don't forget the ongoing Indonesian wildfires as well. These estimates haven't been updated on Wiki but its about 2,000,000 hectares based on satellite images. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Indonesia_wildfires
blondie9x··on New plastic pollution discovered: 'Plasticorals' coral rubble fused with plastic
I think it's better we just change course now and I wrote a book about how we can do that. If you are interested the link is in my profile description.

Natures capacity to bounce back has been overestimated it turns out https://phys.org/news/2026-10-nature-capacity-species-lost-v...
blondie9x··on New plastic pollution discovered: 'Plasticorals' coral rubble fused with plastic
How would a bonfire on a beach end up mixing plastic with coral in the ocean?
blondie9x··on Apple HomeView
Can they just iterate on the HomePod? I want less screen time. Not more.
blondie9x··on Cloudflare acquires Deno
Unreal. Another open source project eaten up by the giants of big tech.
blondie9x··on ChatGPT is adding real cartoonists' signatures to fake New Yorker cartoons
AI companies have created the best pirating tool known to man. And the president is complicit with senate / house lawmakers in his party refusing to take action to reign them in.
blondie9x··on Climate is accumulating 4 Hiroshima atomic bombs worth of heat per second
Excess atmospheric CO2 levels in and of itself are a health concern. Geoengineering will not help with the human toll of increasing CO2 and decreasing O2 levels

blondie9x··on Climate is accumulating 4 Hiroshima atomic bombs worth of heat per second
It feels like the Earth’s oceans are at a tipping point and can no longer continue to absorb this amount of heat and acidification from the carbonic acid levels increasing when CO2 breaks down.

This year it feels like the ocean is losing its ability to breathe in a sense https://scienceblog.com/the-ocean-stopped-breathing-off-pana...

When do we get to full stop on the combustion of fossil fuels to protect humanity’s future?

blondie9x··on Updated Google Maps shows destruction of the city of Rafah
The question is what did the government know before October 7th https://www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/2026/09/ra-vivian-repor...
blondie9x··on Palantir founder purchases large swath of forest in Sweden
Do we know what the goal was? Was this to protect forest land? Similar to something like this? https://www.nicfi.no/2024/12/10/norway-strengthens-support-o...

Although I'm not sure what Norway is attempting is actually working - similar to what we see with carbon credits essentially showing no material decrease in greenhouse gas emission growth. Indonesia is going through some of the worst wildfires ever experienced in human history at the moment. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cqevw9y34y34t

blondie9x··on EV Sales Are Booming in Europe with Gasoline at $10 a Gallon
Ah yeah. I love the idea of no cars at all. But if we do have to have cars then cars powered solely by the sun is the way to go.
blondie9x··on EV Sales Are Booming in Europe with Gasoline at $10 a Gallon
EVs plus charging with a grid powered by solar when the sun shines bright at midday is one of the most powerful forces in averting anthropogenic climate change.

It's better for the body to keep driving sessions to 3-4 hours max before you get up walk around and charge a bit. 330 mile range is more than enough. If you only use 60% of the battery to maximize its lifespan you can drive for 3.5 hours roughly before you deplete a battery from 80% -> 20%.
blondie9x··on Meta takes down a critical video about meta AI Glasses after filming at Meta
Not something to be worn on your face.
blondie9x··on Meta takes down a critical video about meta AI Glasses after filming at Meta
Why are these Mets glasses still allowed to be sold? It needs to be stopped and the product recalled.

Google glasses came and went. Mets glasses should follow a similar fate.

blondie9x··on ZuckOff is a free app that sees Meta glasses before they see you
The problem is the LED isn’t enabled currently when live streaming content to Instagram or Facebook. Most live streams can just be captured and recorded by someone else. This is a huge cap in privacy and safety even if the LED was fully functional without tampering.
blondie9x··on A misalignment of AI in mathematics
This might be one of the most powerful pieces ever written on AI. Where is the United States government? When will we see legislation we so desperately need? We have one party in total control of the government and what have they achieved? Corruption through brings and delays; the inability to legislate and even worse overriding efforts by other jurisdictions to protect humanity's best interests and privacy.
blondie9x··on Muse – Meta’s personal AI agent
The world is destabilizing as climate change worsens and food prices rise. Do we really need more AI for these sort of uses? Maybe less AI less consumption?
blondie9x··on Caltech Mathathon – first hackathon ever devoted to research level mathematics
Yeah it's a bit of a tricky situation. It's almost like a bribe in a sense.
blondie9x··on Formalizing Fermat's Last Theorem
"I was given £1M to run my project over 5 years; Anthropic took only 11 days but I do wonder if they spent more money…"
blondie9x··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
Are the models improving their footprint on the natural world? Data centers and and the natural resources consumed by models for production of materials and for building and running inference servers are contributing towards environmental degradation. How can we prevent that as we continue the roll out so we shift this to a more sustainable developmental rollout path?
