No Wi-Fi on my last flight so I drew the Roman Empire from memory with provinces, @UpdatingOnRome how’d I do?

China consumed more coal in the last four years (2022–2025) than the entire world consumed throughout the 19th century.

BREAKING: The US "almost started a war" against China, nearly launching an operation against a Chinese ship in the Middle East this spring, in the midst of the Iran war, after an AI-generated intelligence report falsely identified the vessel as carrying nuclear weapons components, with armed US personnel preparing to board and military aircraft already in the air before officials found the report had been produced with a chatbot, per CNN.
A special operations command analyst had used a chatbot to fuse open-source material with classified signals intelligence, then used AI again to package the result into a standard intelligence report and circulated it across the US military.

Robert E Howard first contacted HP Lovecraft to correct him on some obscure point of ancient Gaelic grammar. Amused, the Cthulhu Mythologist wrote him back, beginning a long correspondence.
In these letters, REH comes off as likable and well-grounded. He suggests the health benefits of chopping wood, playing football, and boxing. Lovecraft, pale and mostly housebound in Providence Rhode Island, seethes that the mind is always more important than the flesh.
Both men believed that some kind of civilizational collapse was coming. To Lovecraft, this was bad news. He thought that man achieved his highest potential with all the benefits of urbanization. REH welcomed the coming age of heroes.

Remember when people were convinced that a West African War was 100% on the verge of breaking out between ECOWAS and the Sahel juntas?

i live by this, incredible advice
everyone should read this
I think ambitious people should treat life in “seasons” rather than trying to balance everything every day.
A few years massively overallocated to work. A period getting seriously fit. A year or two nomading. Then family takes priority for a while. Then maybe at 35 you go completely insane again and spend four years building a new company, and so on.
The mistake is thinking every metric needs to stay green all the time. Most great outcomes (building a company, writing sth serious, training for an event) need uninterrupted runs, not daily moderation. Sometimes work should suffer cause you’re travelling, sometimes your social life should suffer cause you’re building, sometimes career progression should slow cause family matters more. That’s fine.
And tbh it probably makes life more fun too. You get actual chapters and completely different versions of yourself instead of spending 40 years maintaining the same perfectly optimised routine. A few intense years in one city, a weird nomad phase, an obsession that takes over your life, then something completely different. Probably much more memorable than one very long well-optimised Tuesday.
It's why I encourage everyone to think of balance in years, not days. A good life can look horribly unbalanced on some random Tuesday and still be very balanced over 10 years.

“The Roman elite have imported millions of slaves to work the fields, leaving our once-proud Roman citizens with no land and no hope and nothing to live for but bread and circuses. What should we do, Roman Neocons?”
Roman Neocons: “Take away the bread.”

Fun fact: the family name "Zhuge" (诸葛) is very rare in China and associated with Zhuge Liang, a master strategist during the 3 kingdoms period and one of the smartest persons in Chinese history.
She definitely lives up to her name 👇

The current state of AI would be nowhere as good as it is if it wasn't for deepseek openly contributing their research. They invented GRPO, they invented the concept of test time compute, they invented agentic LLMs, as well as countless infra inventions. All open sourced.

If you actually buy the OpenAI and Anthropic "model escape" stories at face value, I have a bridge to sell you.
