TIL Betelgeuse, a red supergiant star in the shoulder of Orion, will end in a supernova explosion that will be bright enough to be seen during the day. The brightness will last several months but will not harm the earth. It should happen within 100,000 years.

"A central theme of my Fields & Energy project is that the foundations of electromagnetism are not forbiddingly complex. With a bit of thought and patience, anyone with a sharp and inquisitive mind can grasp the essentials, no advanced degree required. This discussion with programmer and mathematician Chris Lansdown at the Missing the Mark Podcast drives that point home."

📝 ⚓️ Naval Power Projection as We Know Is probably Dead | Patricia Marins
The concept of naval power projection has existed for thousands of years and is studied in every naval academy on the planet.
Just as land doctrines are being completely reshaped by the emergence of drones, the same transformation is occurring at sea.
The revolution in land doctrines has been driven by the war in Ukraine and its advances in drone warfare, while the concept of naval power projection is being redesigned by Chinese technological breakthroughs.
Sea control, a cornerstone of naval power projectionis fundamentally changing with the advent of UUVs, USVs, aerial drones, and long-range hypersonic missiles.
Here are some key points:
- Denying the enemy the use of the sea
You no longer need to deploy large naval forces to blockade ports. A hundred UUVs in the area, combined with a fleet positioned 4,000 km away supported by high-altitude drones ready to acquire targets, is enough to prevent any ship from leaving port.
- Projecting force onto land (e.g., amphibious operations, carrier-based air strikes)
This is perhaps the only aspect that has changed relatively little. Troop landings will still need to occur largely as they have for thousands of years, but aircraft carriers now face threats unlike any seen before due to technological advances. They will no longer operate with the freedom they enjoyed 20 years ago.
- Deterring threats
Under current technologies, deploying large surface ships would be more likely to invite threats than deter them. Such a force would be vulnerable to ambush when approaching areas equipped with anti-ship batteries with ranges of 3,000–5,000 km, not to mention the risk of attacks by hundreds of UUVs. What we saw in Yemenseveral vessels withdrawing from the strait after days of attacks is nothing compared to a coordinated naval ambush against a major power.
- Protecting or blocking sea routes
Again, blocking ocean routes can now be achieved with UUVs and high-altitude drones. Submarines remain an option, but there is no longer a need to deploy large forces. Drones do the job for 5% of the cost.
Today, the traditional concept of a navy capable of power projection is giving way to one of omnipresence: hundreds of UUVs, constant monitoring by high-altitude drones, and operations conducted within the envelope of long-range missiles. Ships can be target from other continent. We never had this technological situation before.
The old idea of global projection, maintaining presence in multiple oceans with advanced logistics (at-sea replenishment, alliances, and distant bases), will increasingly be seen as a massive waste of money and a collection of high-priority targets that would be struck first by missiles.
China’s leading surveillance and target-acquisition drones can currently stay aloft for 10–48 hours. With solid-state batteries, that endurance could reach 2–6 days. Stealth, Operating in large numbers and at high altitude, aided by AI, they can provide global-level monitoring of military vessel movements. Missiles like the DF-26, with a range of 3,000–5,000 km, will receive mid-course guidance from these platforms.
THIS IS THE NEW CONCEPT OF POWER PROJECTION OVER ANY OCEAN.
It doesn’t stop there: the DF-27 hypersonic glide vehicle can reach up to 8,000 km and operate in the same way.
When combined with swarms of high-speed UUVs and aerial drones, this will turn naval warfare into something never seen before. And again, the new solid batteries are key in this revolution. Of before an UUV had speed of 5-6 knots, with solid batteries they can cruise at 10-14 and split at 25 depending of the size.
I’m using the Chinese as reference but soon every navy will operate at the same way.
Naval power projection as we know is probably dead.

Heathens judge by phenotype. The 12th century Christian Danish chronicler Saxo Grammaticus wrote of an old king's daughter who he says "men believed" could judge a man's status by his physical appearance. When Olo Vegetus came to her Father's court, with a glare so fierce that brave men cringed beneath it, she acclaimed him "a kingly-born hero". All asked him to remove his hood and when he did they all admired his golden hair but he kept his eyes half closed so as not to terrify them.
Saxo's scepticism was at odds with common beliefs of his forefathers. Anyone could judge the merit of a man by his face alone.

"Heather Cox Richardson is a historian who earned her PhD at Harvard and who now teaches at Boston College — and one of the most influential political writers in America. HCR’s Substack, “Letters from an American”, had seemed like an unlikely hit when it first spun out of a series of Facebook posts late in Trump’s first term. But it has since only grown in influence. It currently ranks #3 on the U.S. Politics bestseller list, by far Substack’s most popular category."

Candace Owens says Erika Kirk admitted during their meeting that she was mistaken and that Charlie Kirk did say “They are going to kill me” the day before his assassination.
Erika says that she had only checked Charlie’s iMessages when making that statement. After later reviewing his Signal/Telegram messages, she found the messages there. Erika also says that Dan Flood had also received a similar message from Charlie, specifying “The Left is going to kill me.” (2 min, 29 sec)

The People Outsourcing Their Thinking to AI
"Tim Metz is worried about the “Google Maps–ification” of his mind. Just as many people have come to rely on GPS apps to get around, the 44-year-old content marketer fears that he is becoming dependent on AI. He told me that he uses AI for up to eight hours each day, and he’s become particularly fond of Anthropic’s Claude. Sometimes, he has as many as six sessions running simultaneously. He consults AI for marriage and parenting advice, and when he goes grocery shopping, he takes photos of the fruits to ask if they are ripe. Recently, he was worried that a large tree near his house might come down, so he uploaded photographs of it and asked the bot for advice. Claude suggested that Metz sleep elsewhere in case the tree fell, so he and his family spent that night at a friend’s. Without Claude’s input, he said, “I would have never left the house.” (The tree never came down, though some branches did.)
Many people are becoming reliant on AI to navigate some of the most basic aspects of daily life. A colleague suggested that we might even call the most extreme users “LLeMmings”—yes, because they are always LLM-ing, but also because their near-constant AI use conjures images of cybernetic lemmings unable to act without guidance. For this set of compulsive users, AI has become a primary interface through which they interact with the world. The emails they write, the life decisions they make, and the questions that consume their mind all filter through AI first. “It’s like a real addiction,” Metz told me."

BREAKING: Police are investigating possible ties between the Brown University shooting and the deadly attack on an MIT professor just days later.
Senior law enforcement officials tell Target 12 that federal, state and local authorities are now examining possible ties between the two crimes. Multiple people familiar with the investigation said they have discovered evidence showing the two may be linked.
The potential connection marks a shift in the investigation. Ted Docks, special agent in charge of the FBI Boston office, said at a briefing Tuesday that there “seems to be no connection” between the two shootings. The next briefing is scheduled to be held at 4 p.m. Thursday.
