Jack F. Matlock, Jr , was the U.S. Ambassador to the USSR, 1987–1991, and had a key role in negotiating an end to the Cold War. Ambassador Matlock discusses misunderstandings about the Cold War, the West’s promise to Moscow that NATO would not expand, NATO expansionism undermining the pan-European security architecture, and how NATO became an offensive alliance and provoked the war in Ukraine. There are lots of interesting things here, like the significance of the demographics of  Pennsylvania and Illinois to NATO. ( 23:00 ).  26:59 Military power is power to destroy, not power to build.

This is what triggered my tirade:  Distributed Multi-Player Games .  That change from wire-frame abacii to algorism is like going from using Microsoft Excel spreadsheets to...  Something that hasn't been invented yet. See  Saleh Kayyali on Spreadsheet UI Design . It allowed people to verify calculations independently and thereby settle disputes rationally. We don't have that ability with modern computing systems which all rely on concrete representation, like beads in a wire. See  Defensive Security and Olive Badger .  Subscribe to Tibees . 

I found out how two or more players can do block-mining together,... Apparently it's quite laggy because of the amount of server traffic.  My last message didn't get through though,...  The game I wrote ran on two BBC computers connected by the RS423 serial interface, so there was a limit to the amount of data they could exchange and still be fast enough to do interactive graphics. I didn't notice any problems with latency though, it seemed pretty seamless.  Gamify, shopify, what's the difference? See  Add Calcined Anthracite To Block Mining Simulation Game . I wanted to pay him to redesign the protocol so that the server just shared the initial game state and thereafter relayed the relative moves to each connected client,...  But it's not on the shopify menu,...  See  One of My Co-conspirators is Being Oppressed by the Deep State  for the background.  Subscribe to Robert Elder Software .  AI says "China is a major producer of high-quali...

Scott Ritter says that any plan by the UK/Germany/CIA to attack the St. Petersburg Economic Forum in June with drones would be "ill-advised".  See  Ted Postol on the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists .  Subscribe to  Consortium News .  See this post by Brian Berletic I got some replies to my question : Why can nobody do anything about it though? The US is bankrupt, it is only the "belief" in the value of its currency that gives it or its military any power at all. That belief is no more well founded than the belief tbat Donald Trump is the second coming of Jesus Christ. The consensus seems to be "because they have nuclear weapons and they're bloodthirsty and mad enough to use them". My reply : Thanks for the replies. So it seems the answer is that it's too late now to do anything because they used their credit facility to build nuclear weapons, and now it's permanent and indefinite?

See this post : My comment : What if most of the software in use is actually such a load of complete crap that even a stochastic parrot can find more bugs in it in a given interval than people can fix in that interval, even using AI? What if most of the software in use was actually only necessary because of dficiencies in the other tools? Would it still be a good idea to use AI to fix bugs? What if instead you actually concentrated on automatically generating correct code from formal specifications?  See  Economic Madness  and The Rather Bubbly US Economy .  Subscribe to  Cyb3rmaddy .  Here are some experts at the Rothschild's rag: My comment : Anyone who thinks a "cyber security engineer" is someone who can hack things is not worth listening to.

See his PhD thesis:  The algebra and machine representation of statistical models : This dissertation takes steps toward digitizing and systematizing two major artefacts of data science, statistical models and data analyses. Using tools from algebra, particularly categorical logic, a precise analogy is drawn between models in statistics and logic, enabling statistical models to be seen as models of theories, in the logical sense. Statistical theories, being algebraic structures, are amenable to machine representation and are equipped with morphisms that formalize the relations between different statistical methods. Turning from mathematics to engineering, a software system for creating machine representations of data anal...
