Very excited for this book! Just preordered
Helene von Bismarck@helenebismarck.bsky.social · 4mo agoWell the banner is up. Nothing more nerve-wrecking than to send your manuscript to people you respect & wait for their opinion. V.grateful to @jonathanfreedland.bsky.social @ciaranm.bsky.social @gavinesler.bsky.social and especially the generous @jameshawes.bsky.social for supporting my book.
Not to mention that they called in Soviet tanks to literally crush labor protests and strikes! They mismanaged the economy and then increased working hours by 10% at same pay. The Soviet troops and GDR police murdered more than 50 people and jailed thousands, in order to force factory work to resume
Ste Jormur@stejormur.bsky.social · 4mo agoThis excerpt is exactly what turned me off the book (Beyond The Wall), because it's straightforwardly untrue! Working hours in the East were longer than in the West! Fewer holidays - Saturdays were workdays until 1967 - and longer shifts (40 hour week arrived in West in 1965, but 1977 in East).
Mistake is to think of states as independent entities. If America were to default on its debt the consequence would be eliminating the retirement portfolios of a very large number of its citizens. So they will stop it. In the democratic world the citizens are the holders of sovdebt and the sovereign
Quantian@quantian.bsky.social · 4mo agoIt is the sovereign legal right of every country on the planet to repudiate their debt, and they can and do suffer essentially no consequences other than loss of access to credit markets for about 3-5 years. This is in fact so disastrous that countries prefer almost anything else to doing it!
Final chemotherapy infusion is done! I'll still be recovering for a while, but I'm so excited to be wrapping up this phase of my treatment plan! Two weeks off, then I start radiation therapy!

When Viennese intellectuals were disenfranchised by an autocratic system in the 19th century they would gather in coffee houses and play the "Archduke game". One would play an idiotic royal and the other his tutor. Every deliberately dumb answer had to be explained as a stroke of genuis
Dmitry Grozoubinski@explaintrade.com · 5mo agoLet's play a game. You reply with a hypothetical US Foreign Policy move, and no matter how random or insane it is, I'll explain how it fits neatly into an Anti-China Grand Strategy. If others want to play along with their own strategies or rating the scenarios/replies they are welcome to.

From 0 to DA: Inside Worlds, a Simulation Engine for Agentic Pentesting
YouTube video by dreadnode

We fine-tuned an 8B model to pop a GOAD domain…using only synthetic training data. No real networks. No frontier model distillation. Just a world model that simulates AD environments and generates realistic pentesting trajectories. See how we did it: dreadnode.io/blog/worlds-...
Worlds: A Simulation Engine for Agentic Pentesting
An 8B model went from blindly loading Metasploit modules to achieving Domain Admin on GOAD, trained entirely on synthetic data from our world model system.

ECB’s Schnabel Says She’d Be ‘Ready’ to Succeed Lagarde If Asked

It‘s wild to me that UK citizens are still widely under the illusion that the EU would want the UK back… In between leaving and now the UK has lost a lot of value as an economic, political, scientific, industrial, energy, intelligence, and financial partner. What would you have to offer?
Julianna 💎@batariangal.eurosky.social · 8mo agoBut Brexiteers were just fundamentally disinterested in securing the project’s long-term legitimacy, and now, less than a decade on, it’s a question of when, not if, we rejoin

I hope the German Chancellor catches up - a 1990s deregulation agenda isn’t going to cut it against a wildly undervalued Chinese exchange rate. I think Europe should consider broader China tariffs - either to slow down the shock directly or as a tool to pressure China to revalue. 1/

The German embassy in Washington has a Swedish chef… And the food there is terrible and also just…not German. It’s Swedish. And it just illustrates so much about why the the German foreign office is so bad. That food is a crime for which French, Italian, and Japanese ambassadors would be executed…

This is such pretentious bs. The poetry is probably: "Roses are red Violets are blue Build an atomic bomb or we‘re through" Because prompt screening or RL for safety is a charade that really only narrows pathways but doesn’t close them. And the atom bomb scenario is idiotic in and of itself

One fun thing the @dreadnode.bsky.social CTI agent is unearthing from the Great Firewall leaks is how many of the employees of this Chinese deep-packet inspection/malware intro/censorship company are also part-time (PhD) students If it can work for them, it can work for me! .
