a national ID number isnt usually publicly available info
A couple of counterexamples:
Italy's "fiscal code" is generated with a simple algorithm which can be executed manually:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_fiscal_code
Sweden's "personal identity number" is public information and can be looked up by anyone:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_identity_number_(Swed...
It was a modification of a foreign personal computer
This one, I guess:
the Apertus model was trained on the Alps supercomputer, operational at CSCS since September 2024, a data center of over 10'000 top-of-the-line NVIDIA Grace-Hopper chips
Does the F35 do that? Wasn't Iran shooting those down recently?
No. One was damaged by ground fire and landed at a US base.

You may be thinking of the F-15s shot down by Kuwaiti "friendly fire".
You're right. I wonder how I managed to miss it. For a moment I thought I must have looked at
https://github.com/HotCakeX/MicrosoftDomains/blob/main/Micro...
but that one doesn't contain any microsoftonline.
https://github.com/HotCakeX/MicrosoftDomains
...and microsoftonline.com is not among them (unlike microsoftonline.net and other variants). But it seems to have been registered in 2002, and the record looks legit:
> The penalty is a 1-year ban from arXiv followed by the requirement that subsequent arXiv submissions must first be accepted at a reputable peer-reviewed venue.
Catch-22 [1]:
You will need to provide an arXiv article id. This is necessary for your paper to be processed correctly, the submitted version must be the same as the arXiv version.

Did you also know about this?
Lastly, we derive an exact population-risk objective from a single training run with no validation data, for any architecture, loss, or optimizer, and prove that it measures precisely the noise in the signal channel. This objective reduces in practice to an SNR preconditioner on top of Adam, adding one state vector at no extra cost; it accelerates grokking by 5x, suppresses memorization in PINNs and implicit neural representations, and improves DPO fine-tuning under noisy preferences while staying 3x closer to the reference policy.

Wikipedia's description of RSDL does not go into gory details. They are not hard to look up though. See e.g.

Worth noting: at 137% [1], Italy is now over the debt/GDP ratio where Greece lost control of its public finances in 2009 (127%) [2] (and France is not all that far behind at 115%). Current tax rules are unlikely to remain in place if/when the next crisis hits.

In Norway, Danish is sometimes subjected to friendly ridicule
Case in point:
in the Persian community on Twitter, there's an ongoing meme mocking where those Starlinks actually went and given to whom, never to get an answer
Of course not. From the article:
Because the technology is banned by the government, access remains limited and carries risk; Iranian authorities have recently arrested Starlink users and sellers.
I think they were going for a reasonable analogy, especially when a stream is saved to disk to have its contents extracted: each channel contained in the stream can then be thought of as a separate file, not unlike files in a zipped directory.
I'm sure anyone who happens to read this will have no problem seeing who was doing what.
FWIW, you're misreading that chart. It shows a wild increase in memory prices
When I say it's flat, I obviously mean the last couple of months. You'd have to be blind not to see last year's runup.
You'd also have to be blind not to see that the charts contradict your claim that "they're going down".
RAM prices spiked speculatively, and they're going down for the same reason.

Note how flat the black lines are.
Then note how wide the gray bands are. That makes it very easy to cherry-pick a few examples to present as "supporting evidence" that prices are doing whatever you want to believe they are doing.
Google announced Turboquant[1] today
Most commentators seem to have missed that the TurboQuant paper was posted in April 2025:
https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.19874
So it's been public knowledge for almost year, and internal Google knowledge for longer. Did Google reduce its capital expenditure plans over the past year? Let's ask Google:
Google is expecting to see a capex of between $175-185 billion in 2026, approximately double that of 2025.
https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/google-estimates-...
As much as 23.1GW of capacity is under construction globally, split across 831 sites. The Americas region hosts 17GW of this capacity, across 311 locations. Europe, Middle East and Africa or EMEA as well as the Asia Pacific (APAC) region trail significantly. APAC has marginally more ongoing construction, with 3.2GW across 283 sites versus EMEA’s 2.9GW across 258. The US alone hosts 15.9GW of ongoing construction.

Eventually people will begin to put their memories of their lives on their sites. At first they will be like a grand photo-album, but then things will get more complicated. People will begin to journal their memories (cleaned up and detuned or exaggerated). This will be called their Book Of Life and when you fall in love or become very close with someone you will share your “Book of Life”.

FOX Business' Maria Bartiromo spoke with Trump shortly after the post, and Trump stressed, "Iran wants to make a deal badly."
