The Cloud and AI Development Act (CADA) represents everything that’s wrong with Europe’s approach to digital sovereignty The EU’s Tech Sovereignty Package is supposed to jump-start Europe’s “sovereign AI” ambitions. (1/4)

I missed the Lab Conf this year so didn't get to hear the mood music on AI, and while I appreciate that Narayan has a difficult job, the assertion that" Technology as an industry has not engaged sufficiently with politics and the British public" is simply not true.

8 parallel workers (and Chromium processes) with a simple interactive CLI dashboard, exploring TodoMVC. It's getting really interesting...

Oh, nice @infoq.com article that quotes me on some of the implications of @anil.recoil.org's blog "Just a rumour of a bug is enough to find a security exploit these days". It's pretty ironic that AI has been trained heavily on Open Source but is now upending it. www.infoq.com/news/2026/10...

Why it matters The central point is that language is not just a label, but conservation infrastructure : it transmits practical harvesting rules, ethical boundaries, and ecological frontiers from generation to generation.

Der Wirtschaftsstandort Zürich verliert an Attraktivität: Nach Vontobel und Cembra verlagern immer mehr Firmen ihre Standorte in steuerfreundlichere Kantone wie Zug. Über 250 Unternehmen sind 2025 abgewandert. Immo-Experte Daniel Stocker warnt: «Das ist gefährlich.»

A slowdown of ocean currents in the Atlantic, prompted by humans pumping planet-warming gases into the atmosphere, could disrupt life in Europe on an unthinkable scale. Now European governments are starting to pay attention. 🔗 vist.ly/5k2mz

EU lawmakers lack the tools and temporal speed to grasp algorithmic complexity. They completely ignore how platforms weaponize isolation, classism, and over a year of shadowbanned invisibility for new accounts. Bureaucratic compliance theater protects monopolies. #EU #Tech

Stocks ended the week mixed as tech led while Europe and Hong Kong slipped, with oil spiking, yields climbing and a weak jobs report meeting hot inflation. From Bitcoin holding $84K to energy chokepoints in focus, here's what drove the mixed signals and key catalysts ahead 📈

Weight and Tension

I mean, is it though? It leaves the question of ends to romance and imagination, where they belong. The idea that there is a Platonic "good" to strive for is a philosophical dead end. That's part of the American Pragmatist project itself.

Maybe after ASI we’ll have enough people and wealth to provide a Montessori education to every child

I feel it's spoiling the audience for the actual cognitive science of how thinking and talking really work. It's making the masses believe the problem has been solved.

The Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) has said that “wholly AI-generated tracks” will not be eligible for listing on its charts, as more listeners struggle to differentiate between human and machine-made music. Why the music industry banned AI music? ✍️ Sahana Venugopal

Why does past stress make new stress hit harder? In mice, prior stress made the anterior hypothalamic nucleus more reactive. Inhibiting it blunted stress responses, and silencing its amygdala inputs abolished the sensitized ones. @zachtpennington.bsky.social @denisejcai.bsky.social #neuroskyence

The subconscious described here is different from the psychoanalytic unconscious* but it’s pretty easy to map one on to the other I think *which isn’t conceived of in contemporary theory the same way as in Freud’s original formulation—a lot has changed in the field in the last century

If it wasn't for Trump I may have not heard that term since studying Cognitive Science at university, where it was promptly dismissed as garbage before returning to more meaningful discussions of what intelligence means. I do remember it briefly being a popular thing when I was a kid.
