Regarding this:
"The DF-26 intermediate-range ballistic missile, with a range of approximately 4,000 to 5,000 kilometers, was specifically designed and publicly nicknamed by Chinese military analysts as the "Guam Killer.""
I disagree with those analysts.

The Chinese PD-2900 drone (2,500 km range, 12-hour endurance, 250 km/h speed, stealthy Su-57-like design) is far more a "Guam Killer" than the DF-26.
It is a matter of numbers.

As laid out by warquants -dot- com, China is buying one million OWA drones to destroy all US/Taiwan/Taiwan allied military logistics from Guam to the China coast.
A quantity of one million "Shaheed plus" class OWA drones has quality all its own.

In the redistricting discussions last week several GOP-designed districts were described as "pinwheels", i.e. 3-4 perfectly compact districts that come together and intersect at a point inside a city. I've played around with this a little and I'm actually not convinced pinwheels are an unnatural feature, even if the maps were being designed by a blind algorithm.
Tl;dr - if you take a metropolitan statistical area that has enough people for N districts, and you subtract ~750k people (one district) from each of the densest areas in the MSA, what's left will look like swiss cheese, so the remaining districts won't be as compact.
Conversely, if you divide the MSA into N roughly compact shapes with the densest areas running between or at the intersection of the pseudo-districts, you can be sure of getting N compact districts by transferring people between districts with minimal effect on their shape.
@grok @WMO No adjustments need on his final version? how many iterations did it take? do you know how many iterations he came up with in private? for sure?
@grok @WMO Tough question isn't it. His final version of GR DID match Mercury's precession exactly (he DID KNOW the number before hand). His FIRST version of GR did NOT match Mercury's precession exactly (he DID know the number and KNEW it didn't match his first version). TRUTH
@grok @WMO I can see why you don't want to answer, Grok. You don't like to admit when you've been check mated.
Three influential public intellectuals in America walked into a Christian church in Asheville last month for a three-day off-the-record gathering.
The public artifact was a single recorded podcast.
At exactly 28 minutes and 17 seconds into that recording, something happens that nobody seemed to notice.

The conversation: Bret Weinstein, Jordan Hall, and Jonathan Pageau, recorded April 26, 2026, at Redeemer Anglican Church in Asheville, North Carolina.
Three thinkers operating in three different traditions — evolutionary biology, technology and "sense-making" recent Christian convert, and Eastern Orthodox theology.
By every observable measure, they are engaged in sincere intellectual exchange.

Up to that point, the conversation is about whether religion serves a function unique to its metaphysical claims.
At 28:17, Weinstein replaces the question.
The conversation pivots — silently, mid-thought — from "is religion solving something only religion can solve" to "religion is solving deep game theory problems."
The metaphysical question is gone. Game theory is now the frame.
None of them flag it.

RIP your old Claude prompts ☠️
Opus 4.7 dropped 3 weeks ago and it follows instructions LITERALLY now.
It scores 87.6% on SWE-bench (vs 80.8% on 4.6) but every prompt tuned for 4.6 is silently failing.

7 fixes that stopped my outputs from getting worse: 👇
The shift is simple but devastating:
Opus 4.6 inferred your intent and filled in the gaps.
Opus 4.7 does EXACTLY what you ask. Nothing more.
Translation: the same prompt now produces narrower, terser, sometimes broken results.
Here's how to fix it 👇

1. Delete "think step by step" from your prompts.
That phrase was scaffolding that compensated for 4.6's reasoning gap.
Opus 4.7 has that depth built in at high effort. Keeping it now wastes tokens AND can degrade output.
Fix: raise the effort level instead.

In Lingering Pathogenic Illness, treatment has to be simultaneous: you can’t treat obstruction without supporting underlying dysfunction - nor support/tonify without moving obstruction. If you move too aggressively, you damage the system. If you tonify without movement, you deepen the obstruction("Tonify the pathogen"). There is no quick fix, only steady, even handed treament.
The "obstruction" in LPI is myriad: pathogen, clots, biofilm, pathological fluids, neoplasms, etc...
The "dysfunction" in LPI is also myriad: mitochondrial dysfunction, micronutrient/mineral depletion, poor energy utilization, redox stress, etc...
Concurrently, these two phenomenon lead to "dysregulation" in LPI which is also myriad: neurological dysregulation, vascular dysregulation, metabolic dysregulation, immune dysregulation, etc...

This concept of simultaneity is universal in Chinese medicine in that we very rarely give a wholly unbalanced treatment. In the case of patients with Lingering Pathogenic Illness, we NEVER give an unbalanced treatment.

If DMSO was used for strokes and spinal injury, millions would be spared from paralysis and death—yet despite over a hundred studies showing this, the FDA banned it.

DMSO has a remarkable ability to treat a wide range of "incurable" neurological conditions. Here I summarize 2000 forgotten neurological DMSO studies and hundreds of reports from readers who had life changing neurological recoveries with DMSO.

I've been sorting through my late Mum's items; paperwork, photos and stuff and I came across this booklet from mid 1960s issued by the British Medical Association @TheBMA called 'Doctors Orders'.
I wondered if it had advice on air quality & links to disease transmission.

Well indeed it does and it's pretty fascinating considering it's ~60 years ago.
A section called 'Lots of fresh air & exercise' explains that germs from nose and mouth quickly become concentrated in stuff environments. It calls for at least 3 ACH in the home.

Lots of things were understood:
That aerosols increase in concentration without enough fresh air.
That diseases are spread through inhalation.
That room size and occupancy are important and small room with high occupancy need higher levels of fresh air.
Like a classroom.

Think again. Everyone has been exposed to COVID or chose to get a COVID vaccine is NOT back to pre-COVID levels.
Especially internally.
