Elon, just come to Ukraine. Talk to the people. I can arrange meetings with people on the front line. No staged official visits.
Consider it a real-world proof of your concept.
But make sure Starlink works. For your own safety.

That PHP vulnerability that’s gonna cause havoc this week was found with… GPT‑5.6 Sol.
OpenAI models helped researchers—operating as part of our Patch the Planet initiative—discover critical security flaws in PHP, an open-source programming language used to run an estimated 70% of websites.
Over the past two months, we led a coalition of maintainers, researchers, and security providers to prepare fixes and protections ahead of disclosure. This duration was necessary because the fix was quite intricate and required a major change to the PHP engine. Every site using PHP can now safely upgrade their version to stay secure, in addition to applying mitigations from various security vendors.
Due to the severity of these flaws and PHP’s widespread use, we consider this bug to be one of the most impactful vulnerabilities in recent memory. It also marks a new phase, where AI can find security bugs with internet-scale impact.
This is an example of the Defender’s Window in action: to our knowledge, frontier AI was able to find this vulnerability ahead of attackers, giving defenders time to prepare.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
OpenAI may claim a role in the coordinated response and patching process. But the initial discovery and exploit development, however, occurred several months earlier by an independent researcher.

Ahhhh so that’s why Nvidia has joined the SpaceX project. They’re going to redesign chips to run hot but less efficiently. 20% more in Kelvin, starting from 10 degrees Celsius (283 K), would be 66 degrees Celsius.
It’s a real zig when everyone is zagging. Let’s increase the operating temp, decrease the FLOPS per watt, while everyone else is focusing on optimizing speed or memory use.
Jensen must think Elon is crazy. The entire Nvidia design team must be cranking from first principles on an entirely new paradigm.
Wow. 🤯
Elon Musk says a chip for space should run hot, since raising the temperature 20% in Kelvin cuts radiator mass in half, and that a multi-trillion parameter model does not care about a few bit flips
“Well, I guess you want to design it to be more radiation tolerant and run at a higher temperature. So roughly, if you increase the operating temperature by 20% in degrees Kelvin, you can cut your radiator mass in half. So running at a higher temperature is helpful in space."
"There’s various things you can do for shielding the memory, but neural nets are going to be very resilient to bit flips. So most of what happens for radiation is random bit flips."
"But if you’ve got, like, you know, a multi-trillion parameter model and you get a few bit flips, it doesn’t matter. Heuristic programs are going to be much more sensitive to bit flips than some giant parameter file. So I just design it to run hot. And I think you pretty much do it the same way that you do things on Earth, apart from make it run hotter.”

Under various disarmament agreements with the US, Ukraine destroyed:
- 60 Tu-22
- 27 Tu-95
- 11 Tu-160 strategic bombers
All together worth around $6 to $8 billion.
We did this because the US asked us to.

Essential reading on the wider implications of the crippling of Starlink in Ukraine 👇
1\5
America went much further than that with its recent Starshield/Starlink restrictions on Ukraine. Let me explain the effects.
Starlink is a technology that provides critical communication service to government and civilian sector, I repeat the service is critical.
So what happened, and why it matters?
Someone wanted a 2 cent lower diesel prices before the midterms, or was promised something by putin in exchange for this, maybe he just had a bad mood.
Many say Ukraine is not an ally, so the USA can just do whatever it wants, however the service that was crippled by American political leadership or at their silent approval is sold to Germany and Poland, which are part of NATO and are in critical interests of these countries to keep Ukrainian operations running, you may argue, but it's official position by the elected political leadership of these states.
Many say it's a blow to the starlink, others that it's a blow to American military industries.
I think it's much wider, it's a significant in blow to the American tech and industrial sector which has been driving Americans economy for the past decades.
I am a cloud infrastructure engineer developing on premise, hybrid and sovereign solutions. This cloud infrastructure hosts data services used in production facilities, telecom, AI, mining industries and energy sector. Essentially all critical services to a functioning state.
Right now everything is run via remote control planes. Here are more concrete 3 example in the thread below:

Students supported Mao
Students supported Castro
Students supported Khomeini
Students supported Hitler
Students supported Mussolini
If find yourself blindly supporting every student lead movement, you’ll be wrong very often, in many eras, on many issues.
A good rule of history: if you find yourself opposing a student movement while siding with the ruling class, you're wrong. Every time, in every era, whatever the issue.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Student movements have not always been on the right side of history. Mao's student Red Guards persecuted hundreds of thousands. Students helped Castro and Khomeini rise to power, and Nazi student groups opposed the Weimar Republic.

Kas to būtu domājis, ka mākslīgajam intelektam (MI) ir krietni vairāk vieduma un veselā saprāta nekā @RigasPP dabīgajam intelektam (DI) :)
Izlasiet MI ieteikumu, kā šādā situācijā rīkotos vieda policija. Es redzu tikai pozitīvo. Bet nē, vajag obligāti iedot 40 eiro sodu, demotivēt cilvēkus un radīt negācijas. Pie tam valsts administratīvajā tiesā iztērēja 10x vairāk.
No labas pārvaldības, samērīguma un satiksmes drošības viedokļa labā prakse viennozīmīgi būtu NESODĪT, bet izteikt aizrādījumu vai ieteikumu.
Lūk, kāpēc sodīšana šādā situācijā ir destruktīva, un kādai vajadzētu būt viedai policijas rīcībai:
1. Sods rada bīstamu «atvēsinošo efektu» (chilling effect)
Ja valsts vai pašvaldība demonstratīvi soda vadītāju, kurš labticīgi centās palaist ugunsdzēsējus, sabiedrībai tiek nosūtīts ļoti bīstams signāls: «Nekad nekusties un nedari neko, pat ja aiz muguras kauc sirēnas, citādi dabūsi 40 eiro sodu.»
Nākamreiz, kad būs reāls sastrēgums un ugunsdzēsēji būs iesprostoti aiz šāda vadītāja, viņš var izvēlēties palikt uz vietas un neradīt koridoru, baidoties no kameras. Satiksmes drošībā cilvēku dzīvību glābšana un operatīvā transporta prioritāte vienmēr ir augstāka par sabiedriskā transporta joslas sterilitāti.
2. Maznozīmīguma princips likumā pastāv tieši šādiem gadījumiem
Administratīvās atbildības likuma 11. pants nosaka, ka amatpersona var neuzsākt procesu vai atbrīvot no soda, ja pārkāpums ir maznozīmīgs:
* Neviens netika traucēts (sabiedriskā transporta josla bija tukša);
* Neradās avārijas situācija;
* Manevrs ilga dažas sekundes ar skaidru cēlsakaru (operatīvais transports);
* Trūkst ļaunprātīga nodoma.
Labā prakse nozīmē piemērot likuma garu, nevis tikai burtu. Mehāniska sodīšana bez seku izvērtēšanas ir vājš administratīvais darbs.
3. Kādam vajadzētu būt iestādes ieteikumam vadītājam?
Tā vietā, lai iekasētu naudu, iestādes komunikācijai vajadzētu būt izglītojošai:
Pateikties par vēlmi palīdzēt: Novērtēt vadītāja vērīgumu un vēlmi atbalstīt dienestus.
Izskaidrot bīstamību: Paskaidrot, ka operatīvajam transportam visvairāk nepieciešama prognozējamība. Ja operatīvais jau izvēlējies brīvu 3. joslu, pēkšņa pārmaiņa vidējā joslā var mulsināt gan ugunsdzēsēju šoferi, gan radīt aklās zonas riskus sabiedriskā transporta joslā (kur var braukt velosipēds vai taksometrs).
Mācība: Ieteikt turpmāk dot ceļu savas joslas robežās (nobīdoties pa labi līdz līnijai) un šķērsot aizliegtās joslas tikai tad, ja tiešām nav citas fiziskas izejas.
Diemžēl pašreizējā Rīgas sistēmā automatizētie kameru sodi bieži darbojas kā bezpersonisks fiskāls mehānisms, kur labās prakses un izglītošanas vietā dominē algoritmisks sods.
Kas svarīgāks - cilvēka dzīvība vai tukša sab. tr. josla?
Normāla rīcība ir dot ceļu operatīvajam transportam (CSN 26. p.), pat ja jāpārkāpj citi punkti. Te pašvaldības policija un tiesnesis demonstrē absurdu formālismu. Kur palicis veselais saprāts?

Latest: Zelenskyy tells reporters over WhatsApp that restrictions on Ukraine's Starlink systems remain. Interceptor drones can't function, logistics and operations hobbled. The maximum speed is 161 kph; "exceeding this limit causes the Starlink connection to cut out completely, resulting in the loss of the drone."
He says Ukraine has done tests to determine whether SpaceX is truly facing technical issues, as has been told Kyiv by the US side, or if this is a "deliberate operation... to restrict us, cut us off, and prevent us from defending ourselves and protecting our people, both at the front and among the civilian population."
He says Ukraine "sent a couple of vehicles equipped with Starlink terminals into European Union territory."
"They moved at speeds exceeding 180kph, and the Starlink systems worked perfectly. We have the relevant logs and evidence to prove this."
He adds: "The conclusion is clear: the restrictions are in effect within Ukraine but do not apply within the European Union. In other words, this is a planned operation."

All the French government had to do was declare a curfew and shoot the rioters violating it. Stopping this chaos is trivial.
If a bunch of pro-Russian nutjobs rioted in Ukraine, soldiers would just shoot them.
Letting in people who hate western civilization is a choice.

A Ukrainian teardown of a Geran-4 flight computer found more than 75 percent U.S.-made parts, Militarnyi reported.
Engineer Prop of the 1230th Athena Regiment did the work. Wreckage was from Poltava region in 2026. Of 105 identified components, 80 (76 percent) were American by parent company. Texas Instruments and National Semiconductor alone were 61 parts, or 58 percent. Seven boards use the TMS320F28335PGFA. China 11, Infineon 2. Nine unidentified. No Russian electronics found.
Boards carry the Alabuga AL prefix, with dates in June and August 2026. Processor markings were partly erased. A rough retail-price estimate put TI revenue from these controllers at about €1.4 million (about $1.6 million) a month if output is 3,000 units. Actual prices are unknown.

We 🇱🇻 were way too patient, way too tolerant to accept such misleading, Russian agression justification... Independent 🇷🇺 journalism has to be treated with great precaution and triple checking.
Finally the 🇱🇻 government took the right decion, which had to be taken already long time ago. Thanks to @janisdombrava and @Braze_Baiba for executing this. – at Gangelt, Deutschland
I can now confirm that yesterday I was notified of my expulsion from Latvia where I lived for 12 years. This, I believe, is a long-brewing revenge by far right politicians for my investigation into their links to Russian neo-Nazis who found refuge in Kyiv and who circulated the manifesto of Christchurch shooter in 2019. It is also a punishment for my commentary on the Russian aggression in Ukraine and for Pavel Sheremet investigation.
The notification doesn’t point to any specific misdemeanours or statements which prompted the decision. I was declared persona non grata, a status designed for diplomats who enjoy immunity from prosecution, not for ordinary people. This was done - as far right politicians who spearheaded the decision openly admit - in order to deny me justice in the Latvian court system: PNG status cannot be appealed in courts. This makes me conclude that I am facing political persecution.
For me it is a huge personal tragedy. I am being evicted from my only beloved home, deprived of my circle of friendship and support. I love Latvia, the land of my ethnic Latvian ancestors, and have no sense of revenge. I will always remain pro-Latvian. It makes me immensely sad that high positions in the Latvian government have been captured by forces whose closest political relation is Putin and who are using Putin’s aggression in Ukraine as a pretext for eroding the rule of law and democracy in the European Union.
My stance on the war in Ukraine remains unchanged. I condemn the Russian aggression and support Ukraine’s sovereignty over occupied territories. Ukraine is a wound in my heart, not a source of political gain as it is for my persecutors. But I’ll continue to criticise Western countries for mishandling this conflict and not acting in the best interests of the Ukrainian people. I shall not be gagged.
Shame on those who understand what is happening but look away or buy into smear campaign waged against me by the pro-war lobby and far right info dumps. One day, they’ll come for you, too.

Notice how it would be dead simple to just put a LN wallet in cars, and have them pay on the fly for the electricity as it is provided. Since payments can be granular, zero possibility of fraud.
But it'll probably never happen because banks won't allow AML/KYC free charging.
EV charging stations are fu*king retarded.
Can't just rock up and use your credit card, custom RFID card only. Or use the stupid app, which I already had an account for but now the old app is discontinued and needs a new one set up from scratch. No Internet reception in the underground carpark.
Rinse and repeat for every brand charging network, unless they have gone out of business.
Oh, and always pray that the charger is operational.
