The Iranians make the same blunders that the Palestinians do, for many of the same reasons—they overestimate their strategic position; they believe victory is inevitable, and thus treat every event as evidence of that victory; they're both trapped in various euphoria-amnesia cycles, to borrow from @ShMMor. In both cases, the mothership and its foreign cheering sections lead one another deeper into error. Wonder if this is all a coincidence... x.com/woke8yearold/s…
Just spitballing here, but Islamism is one obvious commonality. Whether it's the Shiite Islamic Republic's Valiyat-e-Fakih, or Hamas's very different Sunni Muslim Brotherhood strain of the ideology, Islamism is an incredibly powerful and appealing tool for mobilizing masses of people across highly diverse societies. Islamism is an idea with real power and purchase across the entire world, including in the West. But when applied to the highest levels of politics and statecraft, it has a very mixed record re: seeing reality at all clearly
Whatever its origins or its stated purpose, the campaign to liberate Palestine is in function an Islamist movement these days. Meanwhile the Islamic Republic of Iran has gotten much, much further than any other modern Islamist project. But they both have the same core limitations, and what do you know, they're both near the brink of irreversible total defeat at exactly the same moment

Your code can run 10× slower by accessing memory at perfectly regular intervals.

If you stride through an array by 4096 bytes (or any large power of 2), you can trigger cache thrashing on many CPUs where data evicts itself repeatedly despite the cache having plenty of free space.Image
L1 caches are set-associative for speed. A 32KB L1 with 64-byte lines and 8-way associativity typically contains 64 sets.

Each memory address maps to one specific set via (address ÷ 64) % 64. only 8 cache lines can coexist in that set no more. Image
When you stride by 4096 bytes, consecutive accesses collide. (4096 ÷ 64) = 64, and 64 % 64 = 0.

Every single access maps to Set 0. you fill the 8 slots, then each new load evicts the previous one. the other 63 sets sit empty while you suffer a miss every access. Image

These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken. Image
And yes, I have criticisms of pre-Elon Twitter and obviously Bluesky, too. But things tend to get especially broken when you suppress outbound traffic and break links to the rest of the web, as with Twitter now or mid/late-2010s Facebook.
Longer analysis here, with some context about the last decade or so in the media business.

1/Natural medicine wasn't always called "alternative." It was just called medicine.

Here's what they don't want you to know — hidden in plain sight in two documents from 1899 and 1932.
🧵👇 Image
2/ The 1899 Merck Manual — the world's oldest, best-selling medical textbook — was almost entirely natural medicine. Cannabis listed as a remedy 62 times.

Papaya enzyme. Dried ovaries of cow. Beef tea.

Not quackery. The official standard of care. 📜

🔗Details: greenmedinfo.com/blog/1899-merc…Image
Image
3/ Just some of what Cannabis Indica was prescribed for in 1899:

🌿 Kidney disease
🌿 Chronic bronchitis
🌿 Cholera
🌿 Delirium tremens
🌿 Bladder paralysis
🌿 Climacteric disorders
🌿 Coughs
🌿 Corns

...across 62 indications total. Within 40 years, it was a criminal offense to possess it.

🔗The Greenmedinfo.com database contains 1200+ studies on its therapeutic potential in over 420 conditions: greenmedinfo.com/substance/cann…Image

Some may be wondering why the US flew 2 x MC-130 into a landing zone in Iran rather than use other types available. The clue is in the use of the Night Stalker AH-6 Little Bird Helicopters, which were also destroyed at the forward landing site. 🧵1/8 twz.com/air/night-stal…
2/ The WSO was located a few hundred kms inside Iran and it was probably considered too risky to fly Helos all the way in and out after so much prior warning had been given, and after the hits sustained when extracting the pilot on Day 1. Image
3/ But, the location of the WSO high up in the mountains and with what sounds like an injury, still needed the sort of assistance that only a Helicopter could provide. Step up the Night Stalker AH-6 Little Bird.. Image

If your manager tells you Return To Office (RTO) is mandatory, send this exact email within 24 hours.

Do not argue. Do not comply blindly.

Execute these 18 steps immediately:
1. The Paper Trail

Situation: Your boss verbally tells you that you need to be in the office three days a week for "culture."

System: Send this email:
"Hi [Name], to ensure my transition back to the office does not impact the Q3 delivery timeline, I need to adjust my weekly output by 15% to account for the 10 hours of newly added commute time. Let me know which features we should deprioritize."

Why it works: You immediately frame the office mandate as a direct threat to the company's bottom line, not a personal inconvenience.
2. The Leverage Audit

Situation: You feel forced to accept the new commute because you need the job.

System: Document the exact technical bottlenecks only you know how to solve.

Why it works: You stop viewing yourself as a dependent employee and start seeing yourself as a critical asset they cannot afford to lose to a remote competitor.

The "downed pilot" was a fake cover story for a failed US military operation to capture Iran’s primary stockpile of highly enriched 60% uranium, roughly 440–970 pounds.

The primary stockpile is located at Isfahan, exactly where the pilot was "lost."

This explains why the US heavily bombed the area while "searching" and why the C-130s were destroyed without loss of life.

The C-130s were hit on the ground while the special forces attempted to secure the material. The entire operation became a massive rescue operation to extract the soldiers.

Image
Evidence for the "Uranium Cover Story"

Location: The rescue took place in the Isfahan region, which is home to one of Iran’s most critical nuclear facilities.

Scale of Force: The sheer volume of aircraft & helicopters lost including heavy lift assets like the C-130J Commando units for a "snatch-and-grab" of enriched uranium stockpiles

The 160th SOAR's helicopters MH-47 Chinook and MH-6 Little Birds that were on site would have extracted the pilot. It makes zero sense to land two C-130J for a pilot extraction.

Instead, they would transport specialized ground units like Delta Force or Navy SEALs (DEVGRU), who are specifically trained for "Pathway Defeat" and the handling of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD).
The airstrip the 2x C-130J landed on is only 37km (22 miles) from the Uranium underground tunnel complex attached to the Isfahan Nuclear Technology Center

Also they used 3x C-130J to extract everyone.

The problem here is real, but this analysis is of why it occurs is mistaken.

The AI companies are NOT incentived to maximize engagement the way that social media companies are, because they have a different business model.

🧵
Facebook and twitter source their content from users and get their revenue from adds.

It's basically free to serve webpages, and the more time people send scrolling the more ad impression, the more revenue.

Cost is fixed, and revenue is variable.
The AI companies are different. So far, they don't make money from ads. Currently, their revenue comes from subscriptions.

Unlike serving webpages of user-generated content, running inference on their AI models is a cost. They only have so many GPUs.

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)
Why is Trump so enthusiastic about destroying Iranian civilian infrastructure? It won’t win the war. It is likely for another reason: to provoke an Iranian response that Trump can use for his own purposes. (2/17)
Provocation is not a complex form of politics. Let’s not imagine Trump is not smart enough to have thought of this. He is. And exploiting a wartime incident to try to seize total power is normal tyrannical behavior. It’s on us not to dodge that historical fact. (3/17)

Trump is calling reporters today to tell them he is going to commit mass war crimes next week. GOP leaders need to stop him.

Never mind that blowing up bridges and power plants and killing innocent Iranians won't reopen the Strait.

It's also a clear war crime. 1/ A 🧵on why:
2/ Trump isn't even pretending to choose military targets. He is promising to bomb all of Iran's power plants and bridges. This is military.com making it clear that hitting civilian infrastructure, like power plants, is a war crime.
military.com/feature/2026/0…
3/ Trump's advisors are telling him to hit civilian sites because it will cause unrest and potentially topple the regime.

But just think about the insanity of this plan: kill tens of thousands of civilians in order to cause a national panic.
