REPOST:

This thread vanished overnight.

No notice, no explanation.

Found out through a follower before I even noticed.

So here it is again.

A legal opinion just landed on Parliament Hill saying Alberta's Bill 11 regulations do NOT fix the two-tier health care problem.

Unroll at end.
🧵
The opinion was prepared by lawyer Emma Phillips (Goldblatt Partners).

Released by the Canadian Health Coalition, alongside Friends of Medicare, Canadian Doctors for Medicare, and Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights.

One or two important groups.
The conclusion, in their words.

"Even if these regulations are ultimately implemented, the legislation will continue to contravene the core principles of the Canada Health Act, including the requirements for uniform terms and conditions and accessibility, as well as the prohibitions on extra-billing and user charges."

1/ As the 2026 World AI Conference opens in Shanghai today, to set the stage for China’s President Xi Jinping’s address that will feature China as the champion of AI for the world, one of China’s AI companies—Moonshot—released a Moon Shock.
2/ See this morning’s @Axios “1 big thing.” In its headline: “China AI surges, rivalry intensifies.” axios.com/2026/07/17/chi…
3/ @Axios notes that Moonshot’s Kimi K3 “dazzled developers, jolted Silicon Valley and reset the AI race overnight.”

1/ Reports from Crimea say that Ukraine's drone blockade is causing prices to soar, electricity and water supplies are intermittent or absent, and mobile phone access is down. Shelves are empty and supplies aren't arriving for lack of fuel. ⬇️
2/ 'Alex Parker Returns' summarises what a reader of his Telegram channel says about the situation in northern Crimea:

"There's no electricity at all, water supply is intermittent, mobile phone service is only at certain times."
3/ "There's nothing to even restore at the substations. They need to be rebuilt. As a result, northern Crimea is abandoned. It's only a matter of time before the rest of Crimea collapses.

Can New Jersey ban so-called "assault firearms" and "large capacity ammunition magazines"? No, explains the full Third Circuit, in an opinion written by Judge Freeman (Biden). This is a momentous opinion--and like the recent Birthright Citizenship cases extends 192 pages. Image
Image
(Quick aside, on seeing the opinion line up. This line up includes 9 total opinions, a majority and 8 separate writings.) "Say less." Image
Judge Matey (Trump I), joined by Judge Mascott (Trump II) concurs, but with some interesting assessment of the New Jersey lawyers "who at every turn have turned a blind eye to the Constitution while prioritizing histrionics over history." Strong words! Image

Allah accepts your repentance when you read this dua
This is a powerful dua for anyone longing to return to Allah.

It can be read when you feel:
• burdened by sins
• distant from Allah
• filled with regret
• in need of forgiveness
• seeking a fresh start
The dua is:

رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَتُبْ عَلَيَّ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ

Rabbi ighfir li wa tub ’alayya innaka Antat-Tawwabur-Rahim.

“My Lord, forgive me and accept my repentance. Indeed, You are the Accepting of repentance, the Most Merciful.” (Tirmidhi)

New in The Lancet (published July 12, 2026): the LatAm-FINGERS randomized controlled trial in 1,065 older adults across 11 Latin American countries. (1/7) Image
Two years. Two groups. Same population. One structured lifestyle program (supervised exercise 4x/week, MIND diet coaching, computerized cognitive training, cardiovascular risk monitoring, 38 group meetings) vs. general lifestyle advice (4 total meetings). (2/7)
Result: the structured group improved 55% more on global cognition, plus significantly greater gains in memory, executive function, and processing speed. Benefits held across age, education, ethnicity, and APOE ε4 (highest-inherited-risk) carriers. (3/7)

Allah has made 4 promises to you.
• “Remember Me; I will remember you.” (Qur’an 2:152)

• “Call upon Me; I will respond to you.” (Qur’an 40:60)

• “If you are grateful, I will surely increase you.” (Qur’an 14:7)

• “Seek My forgiveness, and I will not punish you.” (Qur’an 8:33)
Share this with your family and friends, and remind them of Allah’s promises.

🚨New Paper: Training Small LLMs to Introspect!🚨

We create two rigorous evals of LLM introspection and:

- we show introspection emerges with scale
- we *train-in* introspection (even on llama 1B!) by SFT'ing on perturbed forward passes, and performance generalizes! 🧵(1/5) Image
First, what is introspection (non-hype definition)? Models detecting perturbations to their activations.

Past work asked the model “Do you detect an injected thought?" But for small LLMs, adding a steering vector makes it say "Yes" to any question. This eval is confounded (2/5)
So we created two evals:
1) sentence localization (which of N sentences was perturbed?)
2) strength comparison (which sentence got the stronger injection?)

By construction, these are confound-free.

First, we show performance on these tasks generally increases with scale (3/5). Image

🚨Can buildings become #CDR machines?

New review argues that integrating Direct Air Capture into buildings could improve indoor air quality, reduce HVAC energy use by 20-60% & cut capture costs to ~$200/tCO₂, transforming buildings from energy users into distributed C sinks🧵1/12Image
2/Buildings generate ~37% of global CO₂ emissions, while HVAC systems consume ~40% of building energy.

Most of this stems from ventilation needed to maintain indoor air quality.

Building-integrated DAC enables CDR while greatly reducing the need for energy-intensive fresh air. Image
3/Unlike outdoor DAC, indoor environments typically contain 1,000–2,000 ppm CO₂, 2.5–5× atmospheric levels.

That higher concentration boosts capture performance, increasing adsorption capacity by around 10-20%, while improving separation efficiency and reducing energy penalties Image
