That means i believe in Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish homeland.
Shouldnt be a shocker to anyone.

People don't hate Israel because they think there's a genocide.

Does Macklemore know what Palestinians do at music festivals?

Guardatevi “Fauda”. Altrimenti poi finite a Venezia ad applaudire stronzate per 25 minuti.

Serious work by serious reporter. Proving again why @Olivia_Reingold at @TheFP should win a pulitzer while the rest of MSM should be fired.
A year ago, Gaza was officially declared famine-stricken. New, more rigorous data paints a dramatically different picture—and has triggered a debate over whether the original declaration was correct, writes Olivia Reingold. thefp.com/p/unicef-data-unde…

Could he please just go back to being a hard-drinking, smoking, womanising, non-vulnerable, woke-devoid, politically-incorrect, ruthless assassin of the bad guys….

Underdiscussed: emerging managers helping each other. LP intros, operational advice, co-hosting events, sharing intel.
Meanwhile too many large fund GPs often can’t be bothered. What they don’t realize: their reputation quietly takes a hit for it.

85 empty seats.
This Sunday, millions of fans will gather to cheer for their national teams in the FIFA World Cup Final.
But 85 voices from Argentina will be missing.
They belong to the victims of the 1994 AMIA terrorist bombing in Buenos Aires, an attack planned by the Iranian regime and carried out by Hezbollah.
Behind every terrorist attack are lives stolen and futures cut short.
We remember. We stand against terror. Always.

If AI experts want “sovereign AI,” stop renting intelligence from black-box prediction loops with no observer memory.
Sovereignty requires:
own stack
own memory
own audit trail
own coherence layer
own correction loop
own reference point
Otherwise it is just API feudalism.

Our thoughts on the importance of AI sovereignty.
1. Your AI sovereignty dictates your institution’s future. Sovereignty is the precondition for choice. Relinquishing sovereignty transfers the future choices of your institution to others, who are likely to exploit it for their gain and your loss.
2. Data retention is your treasure. Transfer it at your own peril. Your ability to win is dictated by your ability to recognize and use your unique edges, and you keep winning by compounding the underlying data to generate new insights. Transferring that data hands over access to your pre-existing winning plays and yields the means of production for new ones.
3. Tokenmaxxing hijacks your value orientation and decreases your institutional fortitude and intelligence. The pursuit of high token usage incentivizes disposable scripts over robust software — with the addictive feeling of false progress. There is a reason why those selling tokens refuse to charge based on value.
4. Controlling your weights is controlling your fate. Weights are the distilled form of hard-won, accumulated institutional knowledge. If you let others control your weights, you are allowing them to migrate the alpha of your business to theirs.
5. There is no contradiction between sovereignty and alpha. The architecture that maximally preserves sovereignty is one that enables institutions to own their tribal knowledge, and to compound it as alpha.
6. Politicizing the technical issues involving sovereignty is what your adversary wants. Techno-politicization is the wellspring of false sovereignty. Techno-politicization drives decisions that seem to reduce dependency, but ultimately limit agency — especially on the battlefield in the West.
7. Real expertise is existential. Allowing politics or favoritism to determine your technical decisions rewards whoever is best at politics, not whoever is right. Listen to those closest to the problems, not those speaking most compellingly about them.
8. Learn from institutions that are winning or that have consistently delivered. Institutions facing existential threats do not have the luxury of making technical decisions based on political preferences.
9. Only listen to institutions, countries, and people who have a proven record of being right. A track record of correctness is the best and only signal for future correctness. Judging something as right or wrong based on who you like is exceedingly misguided.
