I think Trump & his cronies will struggle to subjugate/terrorise the population of USA in the way that Hitler did.

because:
1 many US citizens are armed
2 modern comms mean it is much harder to hide crimes from public awareness, and resistance is easier to muster
3 USA is vast and multifarious.

Depending on the state of the tide, a 4m tsunami would inundate Cardiff and Newport. 😬

All the talk throughout two days of meetings revolved around why Canada had to be more united than ever in the face of Trump’s destabilizing effect on the country. Some said it full-throatedly, others, like Carney, were more circumspect.

Am frustrated at myself for my lack of empathy, in the moment, for the listless state of the #Timberwolves players after the #Pretti murder.

Like hello, the #Wolves players live in MN too, many with families w/ small children. The #ICE shit is scary and exhausting. For me. And them. For all of us!

We think cortex might function like a JEPA. It looks like prediction errors in layer 2/3 are not computed against input (as is the idea in predictive processing), but against a representation in latent space (i.e. like in a JEPA arxiv.org/abs/2301.08243 or RPL doi.org/10.1101/2025...).
