For differing reasons today I'm appreciative of the work of my agent Ethan Ellenberg, and my editor @malf.bsky.social. I am exceptionally fortunate to have two such smart and competent folks doing their extremely valuable thing to get my work out into the world. It wouldn't happen without them. Related

Quand le pétrole est sous pression, les prix à la pompe grimpent. Je sais ce que cela représente pour les Français. Ce qui se passe à des milliers de kilomètres de chez nous finit toujours par peser sur notre quotidien. Alors j’agis pour réduire les tensions, sécuriser nos approvisionnements et faire baisser la pression sur les prix. Après mes échanges avec le Premier ministre irakien en début de semaine, je me suis entretenu aujourd’hui avec le Prince héritier d’Arabie saoudite et l’Émir du Qatar. La priorité : rétablir la liberté de navigation dans le détroit d’Ormuz, artère vitale pour le… English, from French When oil is under pressure, prices at the pump rise. I know what that means for the French people. What happens thousands of miles away always ends up affecting our daily lives. So I am taking action to reduce tensions, secure our supplies, and ease the pressure on prices. After my discussions with the Iraqi Prime Minister earlier this week, I spoke today with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and the Emir of Qatar. The priority: restoring freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital artery for the…

Aux côtés du Premier ministre irakien Ali Faleh Al-Zaidi, qui a choisi la France pour la première étape de sa tournée européenne. Un choix qui compte et montre que la France peut jouer un rôle d’équilibre. Agir pour la stabilité de la région, c’est défendre les intérêts des Français. Sécuriser nos approvisionnements énergétiques en travaillant à la désescalade et en développant des routes alternatives au détroit d’Ormuz, c’est réduire la pression sur le prix à la pompe. Développer notre coopération de défense et de sécurité avec nos partenaires, c’est continuer ensemble la lutte sans relâche… English, from French Alongside the Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Faleh Al-Zaidi, who chose France for the first stop on his European tour. A choice that matters and shows that France can play a balancing role. Acting for the stability of the region means defending the interests of the French people. Securing our energy supplies by working towards de-escalation and developing alternative routes to the Strait of Hormuz means reducing pressure on pump prices. Developing our defense and security cooperation with our partners means continuing the relentless fight together…

Depuis le premier jour, j’ai pris un engagement : protéger nos enfants en ligne. Nous irons au bout. À la suite de la décision rendue par le Conseil constitutionnel à la mi-août sur l’interdiction des réseaux sociaux aux moins de 15 ans, j’avais chargé le Premier ministre de trouver une voie de passage conforme aux observations du Conseil et au droit européen. C’est chose faite. Après un travail technique rigoureux, le Gouvernement notifie aujourd’hui de nouvelles écritures à la Commission, un mois après la décision du Conseil. Cette protection doit aussi devenir la norme pour tous les enfant… English, from French From day one, I made a commitment: to protect our children online. We will see it through. Following the decision made by the Constitutional Council in mid-August on banning social media for under-15s, I had tasked the Prime Minister with finding a way forward that complied with the Council's observations and European law. This has been done. After rigorous technical work, the Government is today notifying the Commission of new submissions, one month after the Council's decision. This protection must also become the norm for all children…

Politicians, and people, are often deeply irrational. But it is often easier not to talk about it. In fact, it is considered impolite to talk about it. Case in point. In August 1914, British Columbia premier Sir Richard McBride spent $1.15 million of provincial money on two American submarines. That was about twice the yearly budget of the Royal Canadian Navy. Canadian provinces have no military. The man had no business buying weapons, let alone submarines. Let alone incredibly expensive submarines. A German attack on the West Coast was never likely. Germany did have cruisers in the Pacific f… Quoting @TristinHopper I regularly visit the grave of the B.C. premier who panicked at the outset of the First World War and used taxpayer money to buy a pair of random South American submarines.

Their words
It is highly fortunate that the OpenAI agents hacked HuggingFace. This is the only reason we know about all the severe internal failures at OpenAI, and gives us an opportunity to wake up before it is too late.

Their words
This is a fortunate conclusion, because it means that it's possible to use bibliometrics to select a candidate set of sufficiently good scientists, and then use human reviewers to select among them.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
