Ambassador Chas W. Freeman Jr. on Trump's Latest Projectile Vomit Speech

Image
Chas Freeman is a writer and former Ambassador of the United States to Saudi Arabia.  My comment: 3:43 Oman is "scrupulously neutral"? I guess if hosting bases for British special forces is considered scrupulously neutral, then you're right Ambassador, but I think you're wrong. I think the Brits are in a series of mass zoom calls with God alone knows what shadow secret offshore BS banking scam to figure a way to use the HSBC to rip off the Iranian government. The HSBC you remember doesn't know whether it is headquartered in Shanghai or Canada Street, London. This whole farce is a complete sh!t show!

Curt Jaimungal Interviewing Renato Renner

Image
I've only listened to the first 33 minutes and 32 seconds of this but I'm impressed.  See his paper written with Daniela. Frauchiger:  Quantum theory cannot consistently describe the use of itself .  There is an associated software model available from  https://github.com/jangnur/Quanundrum . See also  Thought experiments in a quantum computer  by Nuriya Nurgalieva, Simon Mathis, Lídia del Rio and Renato Renner. As regards the recursion, I wonder whether impredicative types would make a difference? See the talk by Simon Peyton Jones on impredicativity in System-F and Hindley-Milner type inference in  this post of mine .  See also Jenann Ismael's  A Participatory Universe in the Realist Mode  (2024) and Robert J. Aumann's very short 1976 paper Agreeing to Disagree .

Audrey Henson on The Future of Publishing

See her Substack article  The Shy Girl AI Scandal Is Way Worse Than You Think : See the NYT piece (or at least the first three pagraphs of it)  Horror Novel ‘Shy Girl’ Canceled Over Suspected A.I. Use . Then see Thaddeus McIlroy's LinkedIn post  Shy Girl: The Background to the New York Times Story  and his blog  The Future of Publishing . The guy comes across as a total creep.
