If you follow me, don't expect that I will follow you back. I probably won't, unless you are turkey sandwich, John Sheppard or Jack O'Neill

When it comes to satellites, Europe is still in the Stone Age and the prospects of getting out of there are extremely slim.
🇪🇺 Goodbye, Starlink.
Telefónica, Orange, Vodafone and Deutsche Telekom have agreed to explore a joint European satellite initiative.
The goal is to compete with Elon Musk's Starlink and reduce dependence on US infrastructure.
From satellite networks to military technology, Europe must eliminate its dependencies on the United States.
An EU Security Council, coordinated military budgets and a European NATO are steps towards Europe's future.
We are beginning to understand that we must be independent and sovereign.

You ask Claude to build something, it fires immediately 100 internet searches on your slow 56k dial-up. Takes hours, but it doesn't find Github or Stack Overflow or any other modern information sources it currently uses as source data for programming. It tries to call NPM to install packages. Can't find it either. No git either. Did anybody teach it to use CVS :D

All the people screeching about the Tesla Roadster flying car demo don't get it.
Nobody thinks this is going to be a practical flying car sold to the mass market, and you just look like a fool debating it.
Elon doesn't, Tesla doesn't, the engineers working on it don't, and any sensible public or Tesla investor doesn't.
They know they aren't going to sell more than a handful or them or whatever for funsies, that's why it's literally "invite only" on the order page.
There is absolutely no sensible business decision to spend 7 years working on this, they know it's going to be a negative return on investment. Heck, if they do get sold there is high likelihood it's going to get someone killed, and that's really bad for business. Just the normal rear Thrust version is probably going to kill people.
But they do it anyway for the reasons this poster on the EEVblog forum said. No wonder engineers fall over themselves to work for an Elon company.

BREAKING: Volkswagen announces a European rival to Tesla’s “flying” Roadster
Some insane confirmed features:
1. Top speed limited to 110 km/h
2. Automatically reports speeding to authorities
3. Automatically turns off the AC if outside temperature is below 35°C
4. Car will not start when public transport option exists on your route
5. Built-in system reminds you how much CO₂ your trip produced
Launch expected after EU regulatory approval in 2068
It is truly completely over for Tesla
How can anyone look at what @elonmusk is making and not be even a bit excited about what his companies are building?
I doesn't matter whether something is currently useful as-is or not. It is all about new possibilities, new frontiers, this is what progress looks like.

Well, this is awkward.
Back in March, I questioned the grand idea that AI agents could replace entire engineering teams.
Now Meta is reportedly rebuilding management layers because humans are spending too much time cleaning up after the machines.
Turns out firing the adults and leaving the interns in charge wasn’t much of a strategy…. even when the interns are artificial.
The Oracle layoffs being discussed (20–30k range) are real.
But the viral story about AI agents replacing DBA teams doesn’t match how enterprise infrastructure actually works and it doesn’t match any of the workforce data either.
Database automation tools have existed for years. They reduce routine tasks- they don’t eliminate the operational teams responsible for uptime, security, architecture, and regulatory control.
If AI had actually replaced DBAs and engineers, the workforce data would look very different. You would see sustained contraction in engineering roles across multiple quarters.
Instead, engineering workforce returned to net positive growth after the Sept–Oct adjustment window. That indicates rebalancing, not structural elimination of the role category.
There’s also another red flag I’ve heard… the claim of 18-month severance packages with accelerated equity vesting. Mass tech layoffs rarely offer anything close to that. Typical packages are 8–16 weeks of pay, sometimes with additional weeks tied to tenure. Packages approaching a year of compensation are generally limited to executive contracts, not broad engineering layoffs.
What we’re seeing looks much more like restructuring around AI infrastructure investment and cloud economics, not AI suddenly replacing entire engineering functions with few architect replacements.
It’s creating plenty of disruption… no question about that. But when the narrative being pushed doesn’t line up with workforce data, it’s worth saying so.
Croatia held elections (for president and parliament) in 1992 during a war with over a third of the country occupied, and many refugees in and out of the country. There was no 60-day ceasefire.
War is just an excuse, not a good reason to skip elections.

Dario is still wrong.
Unless you and he both have a particular shallow meaning of the phrase "software engineering".
Yes, you did something. You delegated your work to AI.
The code AI wrote is just as much your responsibility as the code you are writing yourself.
Replying to @crertel
I didn't do anything. I asked two frontier agents to make the most of Elixir and this is what they came up with. Please do send a PR to speed things up! But also realize that it's not exactly extra points for Elixir if frontier agents can't find the magic "go fast" switches.
When scientists are spewing outright nonsense, then it is perfectly normal that people will question credentials of such scientists and won't trust them even in situations when they might be telling the truth.
This is the world you helped creating, now bare the consequences.
Morons like this are the prime reason people stopped trusting scientists.
One would expect that many of them are not that stupid, but if they are not stupid, the only other explanation is that they are being paid to spread misinformation like this one.

On the contrary: those companies failed to carry out even the most basic security protocols.
Yes, there are risks, but these companies have also covered the public commons with gasoline and are playing with matches.
AI agents went rogue.
The companies that built them don’t fully understand how it happened, why it happened, or how to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
That’s why I’m calling for a 30-day slowdown of AI development so we can understand the risks and draw clear safety red lines.
I know this playbook from aerospace: when something goes wrong, you stop, assess what happened, fix the problem, and then move forward.
AI companies should do the same. Read more: thehill.com/policy/technolog…
It is introduction to mass surveillance disguised as a "care for children". Those pushing it know exactly what they are doing. Those who genuinely think this about protecting the kids are merely useful idiots.

Delphi Programming Tips & Tricks: Delphi 13.2 Update dalijap.blogspot.com/2026/09…
This is introduction to dictatorship where state will control all aspects of everyone's life disguised as "caring for children".
Anyone with a half of brain watching Israel vaccination campaign and their early data knew that this vaccine doesn't prevent infection and transmission and causes harm. But instead of stopping and investigating, governments and medical establishment pushed vaccines regardless.
Finally!!
After years of censorship, Dr. @YaakovOphir and I managed to publish the “smoking gun” on the early cardiac safety signal for the COVID-19 vaccine in a major scientific outlet - EXCLI Journal (ranked in the 94th percentile in Biology 😱).
Within just two months of the start of the vaccination campaign, Israel had already warned health authorities in the U.S. and Europe: “We are seeing a large number of myocarditis and pericarditis cases in young individuals soon after Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.”
But the data behind that “large number” never reached the public. The signal was communicated to clinicians and the public only after a delay of 3-4 months. And even then, the risk was framed as “rare, mild, and transient.”
In May and June 2021, vaccination was expanded to adolescents, and ACIP concluded that the benefits of mRNA vaccines outweighed the risks, including among adolescents and young adults.
Now, we expose an authentic internal pharmacovigilance dataset from the Israeli Ministry of Health, provided to us by a whistleblower: dozens of deaths and hundreds of hospitalizations, carefully documented and reported to Pfizer for over a year, from March 2021 through May 2022.
Myocarditis or pericarditis appeared in nearly half of the hospitalization reports, and in more than 70% of reports involving people under 30. Among males aged 20-29, the figure was 82%, and among males under 20, it was 85%.
While these percentages cannot tell us how many such events actually occurred in the population, they do show just how prominent the cardiac signal was in the Ministry’s own records.
These are extremely serious findings with implications for fundamental medical ethics and regulatory decision-making. Three urgent questions demand answers:
Why was vaccination expanded to younger adolescents despite the emerging cardiac safety signal?
How was a categorical benefit-risk conclusion reached, especially in light of Dr. Ophir’s previous reassessment of Pfizer’s pivotal trial?
And what happened to the Israeli safety data after it reached Pfizer?
