    So Trump has been humiliated by Iran and now Netanyahu also rejects his &quot;peaceplan&quot; with Hamas. Dangerous times because someone like Trump now desperately needs something to divert attention from his failures.... #trump #hamas #netanyahu #iran #geopolitics

    I like Cory Doctorow&#39;s blogs and also this one, https://pluralistic.net/2026/07/24/supplemental-income/ But he is wrong in one of the first sentences in my view. &quot;As a technology, AI isn&#39;t exceptional. It&#39;s not exceptionally wicked. It&#39;s not exceptionally good. &quot;. The reason why the impact of GenAI is big is because it is &quot;exceptionally good&quot; in some (!) fields/aspects. If that was not the case there would be no hype, no nobel price etc. At the same time his...

    Shocking but obvious, the US wants to force Ukraine to make some kind of (bad) deal by not providing weapons, paid by Europe (!), to defend itself... At the same time Europe and Ukraine can&#39;t afford to call this out too openly... #ukraine #eu #russia #usa #geopolitics

    The &quot;Board of Peace&quot; is a corrupt and a fully Trump dominated body (has been published about before), so i don&#39;t have a lot of confidence in the Gaza deal. We used to have the UN for these kind of things.... Trump and his cronies can fully control all aspects of this deal. https://apnews.com/article/gaza-hamas-israel-deal-text-7347ef0f3b745f22c12b67f786b70f0f #Gaza #BoardofPeace #Trump #UN #geopolitics

    Not surprising but worrying, it increases the chance of a hard financial crash of the AI bubble. Which will not only hurt tech companies. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/ai-companies-hide-debt-off-balance-sheet #AI #bubble #financial #debt

    So rumors seem to confirm what everybody is thinking, the level of US airdefense interceptors/missiles other munitions is reaching dangerously low levels, for example with regard to possible conflicts in other theatres.. Iran knows this too and will take full advantage of it. #iran #usa #war #munitions #missiles #geopolitics

    What i find very worrying is the very real chance that de AfD may be winning the next elections in Germany. It would be the comeback of fascism and nazism. There are no other words to describe it. It would severely weaken the EU at a minimum, destabilize europe. I know some state actors who would consider that a good outcome and will do everything to make that happen. #Fascism #AfD #Germany #geopolitics #nazism #russia #USA #EU

    So while Trump wants Iran to lose it&#39;s nuclear weapons, it helps to nuclearize Saudi-Arabia, that makes total sense.... 😂 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jul/22/saudi-arabia-would-enrich-uranium-under-reported-deal-with-us #Trump #Iran #SaudiArabia #Nuclear

    Some people are getting too dogmatic about AI use in coding, just as i can use (even before AI) grammar and syntax checking in texts, why would people not be allowed to use AI for improving code they have written. Coding/programming has always been supported by tools? 🤔 #AI #LLM #Coding #VibeCoding

    Airbus &amp; the cloud. &quot;European aerospace giant Airbus has lined up on the runway and is pushing the throttles forward as it prepares to evict apps from America. Airbus has named French cloud services provider Scaleway as the destination for some 900 applications, with an initial 70 getting priority onboarding, as it seeks to put critical systems and data under European control.&quot; https://www.theregister.com/columnists/2026/07/20/airbus-takes-flight-from-aws-what-happens-next-is-criti...

    Boeiende plaat, ook als je rechts/liberaal bent qua politieke stroming dan is dit slecht nieuws voor de economie. Het vertekent ook allerlei economische indicatoren, een stijgend BNP, kan daar door minder betekenisvol zijn mbt welvaart. #economie #VS

    The World Resources Institute’s (WRI) Electric School Bus Initiative reports that a number of fully deployed vehicle-to-grid (V2G) projects involving some 230 electric school buses are now able to supply 8 MWh of power back to the grid at any given time – enough electricity to power about 1,600 typical US homes for up to four hours and significantly shave peak load demand for the utilities they serve. https://electrek.co/2026/07/05/the-grid-was-melting-down-in-last-weeks-heat-until-evs-came-to-t...
