C'est plutôt un livre sur un livre, et c'est tout son à l'honneur de son auteure, #Anne-Sizaire qui au-delà de l'hommage, réussit une synthèse claire, fidèle et pédagogique de la pensée lumineuse de _"Si c'est un homme" de #Primo Lévi sur l'horreur de la #Shoa des #nazis du #fascisme de ce qu'est l'anti-sémitisme, dans son originalité qui est de se questionner sur son propre rapport à cette faculté de diabolisation de l'autre... Puisse l'effort surhumain d'hommes comme Primo Lévi pour alerter l'humanité de sa fragilité, être toujours entendu !_

#Video footage appears to contradict Israeli account of #Gaza #medic killings


source: bbc.com/news/articles/c4g2z103…

The video, published by the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS), shows the vehicles moving in darkness with headlights and emergency flashing lights switched on - before coming under fire. The #PRCS said the video was obtained from the phone of a paramedic who was killed.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) initially denied the vehicles had their headlights or #emergency signals on.

The case FOR #tariffs - in one article: zerohedge.com/markets/your-dis…

#Billionaires (other than #Trump, it seems) have a difficult time answering questions like “What happens when we run out of middle #American towns to gut?” and “How has your quality of life been negatively #impacted by #monetary policy over the last 20 years?”
.
The reason they can’t answer these questions is because they don’t have any idea. Monetary policy helps them accrue more #wealth and #power, and they don’t live in middle #America. But if you take a trip to a place like Flint, Michigan, or Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, the answers to these questions become a lot clearer.
.

The direction the country was heading in monetarily and fiscally was simply #unsustainable. #Deficits too big. #Debt skyrocketing against #GDP. #Wealthgap accelerating. Drug and alcohol addiction ravaging cities.


.
We were walking a path that decimated the lives and the purchasing power of the people who need it most and took American #jobs away from people who needed them the most.
.
Worse off, it made the United States #dependent on adversaries like #China to simply go about our day-to-day. When global supply chains were cut off during #COVID, it was obvious that our quality of life was 100% dependent on #imported goods—everything from consumer electronics to clothing to the ingredients used in pharmaceuticals.
.

Recalibrating the country away from being dependent on adversarial nations is not a simple and inconsequential thing to do. On the contrary, it’s about as consequential of a decision as we can possibly make, alongside of trying to get our fiscal house as a nation in order.


.
Consequential means #change. Change means #discomfort. Discomfort requires #courage. On a positive note, to me, it seems like the first time our government has taken more than a 10-day outlook on the future of our nation.

If you're holding or attending a street party today, be honest and don't call it a protest. There are lots of real protests going on today, where thousands of people are putting themselves on the line to disrupt the everyday mechanisms of fascism and imperialism. People are starting to finally imagine and build a better future, and are risking everything for it. Don't disrespect that by larping as part of something you're not.

Let me recap the events:

1. Israel murdered, in cold blood, 15 Palestinian medics and aid workers (including short range shots to the head).
2. Israel buries them in a mass grave, alongside their vehicles.
3. Israel says the medics were shot because they were “advancing suspiciously” without headlights or emergency signals toward Israeli troops.
4. The mass grave is discovered, and video on an aid worker's body shows Israel lies and covered up the massacre.

I used to say Israel's violence against Palestinians in Gaza was indiscriminate, murderous, and abhorrent. But that it doesn't amount to genocide.

But time and again, Israeli massacres and the cover ups show that it's not just "rogue officers". The massacres are systematic; and so is Israel's efforts to shield the perpetrators from accountability.

It may not look like the past genocides we are familiar with; but it certainly looks like an attempt to kill as many Palestinians as possible while getting away with it.

And it happens on the heels of a century of systematically trying to displace and erase the Palestinian people.

That sure looks like genocide.

“NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya (2024): "The next step is [to halt] the mRNA platform itself... the manufacturer has no idea what dose they're giving, no idea where it goes in the body, and whether the... [injections are]... producing... off-target antigens...."

In this clip from a 2024 Free NZ (@_FreeNZ) discussion with former UK MP Andrew Bridgen (@ABridgen) and Liz Gunn (@LizGunnNZ), newly confirmed NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya (@DrJBhattacharya) describes three critical flaws with not just the COVID injections, but "the mRNA platform itself." The three critical flaws, Bhattacharya notes, are as follows: "the manufacturer has no idea what...dose they're giving, no idea where it goes in the body, and whether the antigen itself that they're supposedly producing is actually produced, and not... also off-target antigens as well."

Bhattacharya notes that while one Nobel Prize has been awarded for the development of the mRNA platform, at least "two or three more" will be needed before the technology "is ready for primetime."

----------------Partial transcription of clip---------------

"The COVID vaccines themselves, if you look at the actual uptake around the world, certainly in the United States, it's collapsed... I don't think it takes that much more in the in the sense that very, very, very, very few people are still taking these things.

And certainly children, the uptake was never very, very high, which is actually really quite a good thing, at least in the United States.

So I think that in that sense, the mRNA vaccines for COVID are already, in the minds of the public, in the marketplace, effectively dead.

The money that Pfizer is getting from them, the money that Moderna is getting from them, has collapsed from the astronomical levels they got in 2021.

"To me, the next step is the mRNA platform itself. So I've been looking very carefully at the data on that [and]... I'm just telling you what the theory is versus the reality.

The theory is that I give you this mRNA code, your cells produce the antigen that I, the scientist, wanted [them] to produce, [and] your immune system reacts to it and then trains it to react to that antigen, which is similar to some of the COVID virus antigen...

And that's the theory of the protection. The reality is that the dose of the antigen... that you're induced by one mRNA strand, it could be one, two, three, five [spike proteins]. There's no control over it.

"The dose of the antigen, the dose of the mRNA, you may have some control over, but the dose of the antigen, almost none because you don't have control over how many copies are made of the antigen, per string.

The biodistribution of it also is not controllable. So you see evidence of harms in lots of different body systems...[and] one reason might be because the biodistribution of where these antigens are made is not controllable.

"And the third thing is that the fidelity of the proteins made by the code is, for the mRNA technology, not perfect.

You often get antigens and proteins that are not in the code itself because they're skipping frame[s]... and other things. And so from a regulatory perspective, how as a regulator do you say, Okay, you can give this product to people even though you don't know the dose that you're giving to people, even though you don't know where it's going in the body, and even though you don't know that you're producing the target antigen that you wanna produce.

"There was a Nobel Prize awarded for the mRNA technology to begin with that allowed it so that it would actually produce the antigens without your body sort of overreacting with this immune overreaction and destroying it or just getting rid of it.

[But] there's going to need to be two or three more Nobel Prize winning advances before this is ready for primetime, I think.

So that's the next step, is making sure that regulators understand that when they approve products with this mRNA platform, they're approving platforms where the manufacturer has no idea what the dose they're giving, no idea where it goes in the body, and whether the antigen itself that they're supposedly producing is actually produced, and... also not off-target antigens as well."

La réaction la plus courageuse à la folie de Trump


En réponse aux intimidations de Trump, la Namibie a annulé l'entrée sans visa pour les voyageurs américains, une mesure diplomatique audacieuse pour les empêcher de voler illégalement ses minéraux.

À compter d’aujourd’hui, le 1er avril, le gouvernement namibien exigera que chaque citoyen américain entrant en Namibie soit muni d’un visa.

Tout citoyen américain arrêté en Namibie sans visa entièrement approuvé sera déclaré « immigrant illégal » et traité exactement comme Donald Trump traite les immigrants africains aux États-Unis.

Suite à cette annonce, plus de 500 citoyens américains, qui exploitaient des mines de diamants, d'or, d'uranium, de cuivre et d'autres minéraux en Namibie sans visa, ont demandé des visas pour continuer à exploiter les mines, mais leurs demandes ont toutes été rejetées et ils ont reçu l'ordre de quitter le pays aujourd'hui (1er avril) ou de faire face à une expulsion brutale à partir de demain.

La Namibie est l’un des plus grands producteurs de diamants au monde et cherche désormais à obtenir le contrôle total de ses mines de diamants.

New Mexico Gov Ban PFAS Consumer Products - GMO / Toxin Free USA _Please Sign and Share

It’s clear that a comprehensive ban of PFAS in consumer products would be far less costly than taxpayer-funded cleanup of PFAS pollution.
And let’s not forget the costs and toll on human health. A 2022 study published in the journal Exposure and Health found the cost of PFAS-attributable diseases in the U.S. to be a minimum of $5.52 billion. The study states, “This estimate represented the lower bound, with sensitivity analyses revealing as much as $62.6 billion in overall costs.”

Die Räson eines demokratischen Rechtsstaats wird in seiner Verfassung definiert, nirgendwo und von niemandem sonst.

Das deutsche #Grundgesetz sagt unmissverständlich, gleich im ersten Artikel: "Die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar".

Es enthält keine Einschränkungen, keine Vorbehalte, keine Relativierungen zu Nationalität, Religion, oder Sonstigem.

Es erwähnt keine Ausnahmen oder Rechtfertigungen für #Entmenschlichung, #Vertreibung, #Entrechtung oder #Vernichtung von Menschen.

Das ist aus gutem Grund deutsche #Staatsräson, als einzig legitime Lehre aus dem Dritten Reich.

Très intéressant, un peu trop verbeux à mon goût mais c'est le style anthropologue/littéraire quoi.
Tout le raisonnement dérive du rapport entre humains et non humains (animaux, et même territoires et autres), et de la perte d'une subjectivité dans cette relation.
Ce sont devenus des choses dans notre esprit, surtout sous la poussée de l'économie capitaliste.
ça n'a pas toujours été le cas, et prendre le problème écologique par ce bout là permet d'adresser pas mal de points aveugles dans la pensée actuelle, de rétablir un point d'équilibre à la fois radical et très ouvert, par ex.:

  • les animaux sont vus comme des objets, que ce soit au sens strict pour la production, traités comme des enfants dans le cas des animaux domestiques, traités comme des intouchables en dehors de la prédation par certain courants vegan, et tout ça relève de la même distanciation : il n'y a plus de relation subjective complète et satisfaisante aux animaux.
  • l'attachement aux territoires, l'enracinement, fait partie des ces nécessaires liens subjectifs avec les non humains. En associant cet enracinement à du conservatisme moisi, la gauche loupe une énorme partie du problème, et laisse le champ libre à un attachement pour le coup purement conservateur promu à droite. (voir aussi Simone Weil à ce sujet)
  • reconnaitre à nouveau les liens subjectifs, c'est sortir la science d'une objectification dont elle n'a pas besoin pour connaitre le monde (elle a besoin d'objectivation, nuance), et c'est revendiquer un territoire totalement annihilé par la marche de l'économie moderne. ça implique aussi une empathie totale, et notamment de reconnaitre que mettre à bas un système mortifère, c'est aussi une violence, c'est aussi la disparition d'un réseau de liens subjectifs, et il faut en tenir compte.
  • une réflexion bien balancée sur les rapports de domination en cascade entre classes et entre espèces, liés aussi à la même subjectivité moderne : "ne plus dépendre de la nature et du travail vu comme avilissant" ou encore "la liberté c'est n'avoir aucun lien", ce qui mène tout naturellement à l'isolement, à exploiter le travail des autres, donc à supporter consciemment ou pas un système d'exploitation des uns par les autres.

Pas très matérialiste tout ça, et c'est tout à fait le but, mais finalement un guide assez concret pour une praxis possible, donc ce genre d'approches je pense que ça complète avantageusement le marxisme.

I think I'm a pretty smart guy, but I haven't used my big dumb brain to lead a better, happier life. So, this year, I'm improving myself. Physical fitness, diet, media habits, oral hygiene, routine maintenance, therapy, self-care, the works.

What I want to know is, how are y'all nice to yourselves? It's the hardest thing for me to do. At all times, there's more than one voice in my head (see earlier post re: therapeutic exercise that's basically Inside Out for 37-year-old guys - I'm not literally hearing voices) lining up to call me a failure for any reason. But I don't have a voice that says "good job," "you deserve to feel loved," "breathe," or "feel good about yourself."

This makes it really hard to get better in a healthy way. I'm not a dudebro redditor, but I'll be damned if my approach isn't similar to any fucko's terminally online approach to self-improvement: I'm not getting healthy out of an intense desire to be present in the lives of my grandchildren or because it feels good: I'm doing it because my body is a solvable problem and I want to chronicle rebuilding myself. I want to do hard things that you can't fake so that I can amaze people. And that's sad, I think. Why is it hard to nurture myself when training and shaping myself is so relatively easy?

Because it’s fucking hard, dude! Be proud of yourself for even fucking trying. That in and of itself is a huge deal. That and taking showers. Be sure you still wash yourself and brush your teeth. If you’re not at that stage yet, be thankful and keep going. It only gets better.

My trick is to treat myself like I would treat any friend. Would I curse out my friend? No. Would I tell my friend he’s worthless? Never. Would I tell my friend he’s a fucking failure and he shouldn’t even try? No. I wouldn’t. Ever.

You’re the only friend who you will have your whole life. You’re stuck with you. So you might as well become friends with yourself. Encourage each other, support each other. Have compassion for each other. Help your friend become the best version of themselves.

And even if you don’t do it all the time, try to catch yourself when you’ve been neglecting your friend and say, hey… haven’t checked in with you in a while. How are you actually doing?

I’m at that point right now. I’ve forgotten my friend. It goes in cycles. But you know what? Your post reminded me. Your post today reminded me that I need to check in with the only friend I’ll ever have forever.

NEW: Maryland federal judge Paula Xinis orders the Trump administration to "facilitate and effectuate the return" of Kilmar Abrego Garcia—the man the govt admits it erroneously deported to El Salvador—by no later than Monday.storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
§ 1231(b)(3)(A) and its implementing regulations, as well as the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution, the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(A), and other applicable legal protections. Based on the record before the Court, I find that this Court retains subject matter jurisdiction. I further find that: (1) Plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits because Abrego MalGarcia was remove El Salvador in violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act, specifically,U.S.C. § 1231(b)(3)(A), and without any legal process; (2) his continued presence in El Salvador for obvious reasons, constitutes irreparable harm; (3) the balance of equities and the public interest weigh in favor of returning him to the United States; and (4) issuance of a preliminary injunction without further delay is necessary to restore him to the status quo and to avoid ongoing irreparable harm resulting from Abrego Garcia's unlawful removal. For the reasons stated above, the Court hereby DIRECTS Defendants to return Abrego Garcia to the United States no later than 11:59 PM on April 7th, 2025. A memorandum opinion further setting forth the basis for this ruling will be issued in due course. Accordingly, it is this 4th day of April, 2025, by the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, hereby ORDERED that: 1. Plaintiffs' Motion (ECF No. 6), construed as one for preliminary injunctive relief, is GRANTED; 2. Defendants are hereby ORDERED to facilitate and effectuate the return of Plaintiff Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia to the United States by no later than 11:59 PM on Monday, April 7, 2025; 3. This preliminary relief is issued to restore the status quo and to preserve Abrego Garcia's access to due process in accordance with the Constitution and governing immigration
statutes; 4. The Clerk is DIRECTED to TRANSMIT copies of this Order to the parties. Paula Xinis United States District Judge
ORDER GRANTING PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION The Court has reviewed Plaintiffs' Motion for Injunctive Relief pursuant to Rule 65 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, along with supporting memoranda, reply briefs, and the record in this case. ECF No. 6. The Defendants named in this suit are the United States Secretary of Homeland Security, the Attorney General of the United States, the United States Secretary of State, the Acting Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE"), the Acting Executive Associate Director of ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations, and the Director of ICE's Baltimore Field Office (collectively, the "Defendants"). ECF No. 1. Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia ("Abrego Garcia"), a native of El Salvador, was granted withholding of removal in 2019, which prohibited his removal to El Salvador. The record reflects that Abrego Garcia was apprehended in Maryland without legal basis on March 12, 2025, and, without further process or legal justification, was removed to El Salvador by March 15, 2025. Abrego Garcia is detained in El Salvador's Terrorism Confinement Center (Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo or "CECOT"). Plaintiffs contend that his removal violated 8 U.S.C.

Feudalism is where someone with a castle (a walled fortress) and armed men with steel weapons and horses offers to defend farmers in exchange for part of their crop each year. Often, those protected are forced to accept the bargain.

We have something like this now with Apple Computer. It's called Techno-feudalism. They offer their users some protection against invasions of their privacy in exchange for large amounts of money (high prices for Apple products and 30% of software purchases). Of course, like the feudalists of the Middle Ages, they offer no protection against themselves.

Elon Musk doesn't offer to defend anyone against anything. He isn't any kind of feudalist.

Not to disagree with Hanson, but according to the people I hear from and who know a lot more about China than I do, despite its having nothing to do with tariffs or no tariffs, China is "booming" in the opinions of the West only because the West is gullible and China is actually failing badly, but are the major teachers of our deep state in faking, lying, and stealing.

die interessanteste forschung zu llms kommt regelmäßig von anthropic und ich denke, das liegt daran, dass sie die einzigen sind, die verstehen, dass llms im grunde semantik-navigations-maschinen sind und dass die spannenden fragen darin liegen, den semantikraum selbst und die strategien seiner navigation zu untersuchen.

hier rekonstruieren sie die "reasoning pfade" von claude beim beantworten von fragen und beim verfassen von gedichten.

die wichtigste erkenntnis ist wahrscheinlich, dass llms – obwohl sie immer nur das nächste token ausspucken – den output durchaus bis zu ende planen. beim gedichtsschreiben wird immer erst der endreim gesucht und dann ein semantischer pfad dahin gesucht. (dichten so nicht die meisten?)

(mir war eigentlich immer klar, dass da planung von statten gehen muss. ohne planung bekommt man texte nicht so kohärent hin)
