TIL that Magnolias are so ancient they evolved before bees, which is why they’re pollinated by beetles. Modern magnolias have changed little since the age of dinosaurs, preserving a design that once bloomed under the same skies as Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops.

🚢 While Ford’s CEO warns that the West is losing the tech race to China, the evidence is hard to ignore.
Chinese vehicles, he admits, already outperform Western ones in quality, technology, and production cost. And the gap keeps widening.
🎥 Just look at the fully automated Yangshan Deep-Water Port in Shanghai — one of the most advanced logistics hubs in the world.
Here, autonomous electric trucks move containers guided by GPS and LiDAR, while self-navigating ships operate in the harbor. The entire terminal runs under a single digital control system that requires almost no human intervention.
China isn’t just catching up — it’s building the blueprint for the next industrial era.

The importance of electronic warfare and signal intelligence is not widely appreciated. The British avoided disaster in the Battle of Jutland because of their superior direction finding systems.
https://aetherczar.substack.com/p/on-the-origins-of-rf-based-location
The greatest triumph of direction-finding came in naval warfare. On 30 May, 1916, the British Royal Navy noted an unusual increase in German naval radio traffic. Careful measurements of a ship known to be at Wilhelmshaven indicated a 1½ degree change in bearing angle. Capt. H. G. Round correctly interpreted this motion as the ship taking up a position in the Jade River ready to put to sea. On the basis of this signal intelligence, the British Grand Fleet sortied to the North Sea so quickly that they overran the intended line of German U-Boats before the U-Boats were able to arrive and take up position. [[xxi]] Although overall British signal intelligence efforts were plagued by miscommunication and misunderstanding of vital data, the potential value of direction finding was clear.

"This is the justice system working exactly as designed for the protected class. It is a textbook operation by The Rust 🦠, and today we are going to deconstruct the entire machine—the actors, the weapon, and the motive.

The Capitol Police on January 6th:
-Planted the pipe bombs.
-Shot and tear gassed peaceful protesters in efforts to agitate them.
-Removed barriers and literally waived people to go towards the Capitol building.
-Opened giant magnetic doors from the inside to allow people in the building.
-Shot and killed an unarmed female veteran (the only person that was killed this day).
-Lied about all of this.
-Also lied about the death of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who died of natural causes.
-Became celebrities that received Congressional and Presidential awards for their “efforts.”
Am I missing anything?

🇵🇱 Polish turned out to be the most effective language for AI commands: This was to be expected - it is most convenient to communicate with artificial intelligence in Polish.
"According to a study by the University of Maryland and Microsoft, Polish proved to be the most effective language for 'prompts' — commands given to artificial intelligence. At the same time, English ranked only sixth among 26 tested languages.
The results showed that Polish provides an average of 88% accuracy in task execution.
Notably, the AI demonstrated good understanding of Polish, despite the fact that the volume of Polish data for training is significantly smaller than that for English or Chinese."
