mesa 25.2.0 is out on arch not here

25.1.7 has updated just a few days ago


mesa major releases in the past 2 years have proven to be a big mess, there had been a few times we had to revert back to previous stable edition to avoid breaking graphic interface.
mesa is a rust heavy pkg which is key in nearly all graphical applications or their graphic layer underneath in both X and wayland/wlroots, breaking it means you are back to console.

Their release model has been such that resembles a beta -testing approach, "release see what breaks, attempt a fix, rerelease" and it takes a few minor versions before they get it right.
So we have decided to stay with stable 25.1.7 for a little while, and if there is a 25.1.8 release we will upgrade, we will let Arch beta-testing lab rats take the hit on this one.

[docs.mesa3d.org/relnotes/25.2.… ](mesa 25.2.0 release notes)
[https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/mesa/-/commits/](arch upgrades)

Release notes also reveal some uncomfortable changes, such as shoving lib-zstd in everywhere and discontinuing support for older gfx cards

Let's hope our -D zstd=disabled \ build configuration is still acceptable in future releases 😀

Coe said the decision was made to ensure “the integrity of women’s sport” with World Athletics asserting:
The SRY gene is a reliable proxy for determining biological sex.

I argue the science does not support this overly simplistic assertion.


What percentage of male humans are SRY+ve and SRY-ve? What percentage of female humans are SRY+ve or SRY-ve?

In simplest terms, the testes then produce hormones including testosterone, leading to male development.


Are zygotes sexed?

We know making testes or ovaries requires a complex network of many interacting genes and proteins.

Some genes promote testis development while others promote ovary development.

Other genes either suppress ovary formation or antagonise testis formation.

Even once ovaries or testes are fully formed, we require other genes to maintain them. These genes don’t always function as expected, affecting the development of these organs.


Yes, all these claims are obviously true.

If there is a change in the SRY gene so it does not function as usual, then a person can fail to develop testes and be biologically female. Yet they carry XY chromosomes and under the World Athletics tests they would be excluded from competition.


Correct. What percentage of humans have these SRY variants and develop female phenotypes? What percentage of those are high level athletes?

Other XY individuals may have a functioning SRY gene but are female – with breasts and female genitalia, for example – but have internal testes.


Wait. What? You said 'female' and 'testes'.

At the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, eight of 3,387 women athletes had positive test results for a Y chromosome. Of these, seven were resistant to testosterone.


The author knows this isn't the same population with SRY variants he just mentioned.

He means males with androgen insensitivity, some of whom were deceived by doctors and parents.

World Athletics asserts the SRY gene is a reliable proxy for determining biological sex. But biological sex is much more complex, with chromosomal, gonadal (testis/ovary), hormonal and secondary sex characteristics all playing a role.


It's almost like you want to say "sex associated characteristics" but then the jig would be up, wouldn't it?

This may be easy enough in wealthy countries, but what is going to happen in poorer nations without these facilities?


You can send samples to rich countries where the testing can be done quite cheaply.

It is worth noting these tests are sensitive. If a male lab technician conducts the test he can inadvertently contaminate it with a single skin cell and produce a false positive SRY result.


What clinical test doesn't have to be performed carefully?

Nor does World Athletics recognise the impacts a positive test result would have on a person, which can be more profound than exclusion from sport alone.


Clinical tests have outcomes? You don't say. What percentage of high level male athletes do you suspect are unaware that they are actually male?

Given all the problems outlined above, the SRY gene should not be used to exclude women athletes from competition.


Is self identification more reliable? What test should be used?

theconversation.com/world-athl…


World Athletics’ mandatory genetic test for women athletes is misguided. I should know – I discovered the relevant gene in 1990

World Athletics says its genetic test for women ensures ‘the integrity of women’s sport’ – but science does not support this overly simplistic idea.

Ru-Ukr war

Defence Politics Asia predicts the Ukrainian front lines will collapse in about a month. According to Cyberspec, the Russian General Staff predicts the Ukrainian front lines will collapse in 2-3 months. It will be interesting to see if either prediction turns out to be true.

(In any event, nobody can plausibly argue Ukr is not suffering from a shortage of troops, with such porous front lines and constantly encirclement by Russia over this summer).

Here are my recommendations for Large Astronomy Binoculars. I dont really recommend the Nikons because they are too expensive.

Nikon Astroluxe 18x70 IF WP = $1700 new $900-1000 used
Fujinon 16x70 = $1200 new $500-600 used
Oberwerk 15x70 Deluxe = $330 new $230 used
Celestron Skymaster Pro ED = $275-350 new
Orion Mini Giant 15x70 = $125 used

You can find some older Fujinon 14x70 used as well. The previous iteration.

Dont bother with the 10x70 or 10x80 or the 80mm or 100mm binoculars. It's better to go with 10x50 for lighter weight. And the larger objectives dont gain much relative light to the 70mm, they weigh more and they also have more color fringing as they have to bend the light more in a similar sized frame.

There are some larger 80mm and 100mm binoculars with interchangable eyepieces and longer barrels that arent hand holdable that are good, but expensive and a much later purchase on your astronomy journey (if you even make it that far).

You really dont need big objectives like that to look at the moon. The moon is so bright that collecting that much light into your night time dialated pupils is painful and not recommended.

8x40s or 10x40s are much better for moon observation. Even 7x35s.

if all women you "interact" with are terminally online egirls. 99.9% of women are normal. the women in my neighborhood are sane. the women working in the bakery are sane. this RW meme of all women are to be subdued is in diametral opposition to the goals - men and women have different traits complementary to each other. in classic societies women often held the key to the house and managed the household finances.

what really is a problem is that the (likely naturally stronger) impulse for empathy and the wish to be in-group in women is hijacked by media and politics for sinister purposes. THAT is what should be fought against.

Earlier this year, I made two trips to Sudan, where a terrible civil war has displaced 14 million people. The state is absent, international institutions are weak. Outside powers, motivated by greed and nihilism, have stepped into the vacuum, amplifying the conflict. In Sudan, the liberal world order has ended, and nothing has replaced it.

My concerns about Gary Stevenson’s economics of wealth taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/0… Gary Stevenson has emerged as a major exponent of wealth taxes, but his latest video has made it clear that his economics is neoliberal in its framing, embracing ideas such as the household analogy, claims that the government can run out of money and that it is funded by taxes, none of which are true. And the fact is that you cannot build social justice on the basis of inappropriate economic framing, so this matters.

My concerns about Gary Stevenson’s economics of wealth

In a recent video, Gary Stevenson said: “Governments are running out of money, just like a person running down their savings.” Gary Stevenson has become a significant critic of inequality in the UK today. His video this week is no exception.
