Więc jaki był cel uderzenia akurat w tę ambasadę? Wiemy już, że Iran nie wali na oślep. Wszystkie cele zostały wybrane lata temu.

Zastanawialiście się kiedyś, czym są dziwne struktury na budynkach ambasad amerykańskich, dosłownie na całym świecie?

1/x🧵 Image
Anteny, talerze, osłony, dziwne przybudówki?

To wszystko to część wspólnego programu NSA i CIA - Special Collection Service (SCS, F6) - którego celem jest prowadzenie inwigilacji elektronicznej. Program powstał w latach '70.

SCS jest częścią szerszego programu globalnej inwigilacji o nazwie STATEROOM - w którym biorą udział państwa sojuszu wywiadowczego 5eyes (USA, UK, Kanada, Australia, Nowa Zelandia).

Tu - stary dokument potwierdza niektóre SCS, w tym w Ambasadzie USA w Ankarze.

I was taking the kids from tennis class. They finished but had to wait for me 5 minutes until I finished chess game on my phone.

Then when I started driving, the phone yelled warning. We turned back and went to the shelter at the tennis club. There we heard enormous explosions, the loudest we've ever heard.

And then we discovered that it fell where we were supposed to be, if I wasn't playing chess and just started driving without delay.

Probably the chess just saved our lives.

There are people injured, elderly people and a baby.Image
Update: Someone I know lived in this building. They have no home anymore. Luckily she and her daughters weren't home, they went shopping... She's optimistic (I don't know how) and joking: "Shopping saves lives"...
Update: rescue teams are still working to rescue 4 people who are under the rubble, not known if they are alive.

Gaël Duval is the founder and president of the /e/ foundation along with the CEO of Murena. Duval and his organizations have consistently taken a stance against protecting users from exploits. In this video, he once again claims protecting against exploits is for only useful pedophiles and spies.

Translation to English:

> There's the attack surface, on that front we're not security specialists here, so I couldn't answer you precisely, but from the discussions I've had, it seems that everything we do reduces attack surface. However, we don't have a "hardened security" approach, we aren't developing a phone for pedo(censored) so they can evade justice. So there aren't difficult things to check if the memory is corrupted, really hardened security stuff that could clearly be useful for executives, in the secret service, or whatever. That's not our goal, our goal is to start from an observation: today our personal data is constantly being plundered and that wouldn't be legal in real life with the mail or the telephone, we want to change that. So we are making you a product that changes that by default for anyone.

Transcription in French:

> Il y a la surface d'attaque, là pour le coup on est pas des spécialistes de la sécurité, donc je ne pourrais pas te répondre avec précision, mais des discussions que j'ai eu, il semblerait que tout ce qu'on fait, ça réduit la surface d'attaque. Donc oui, probablement ça aide. Par contre, on a pas une approche "sécurité durcie", on développe pas un téléphone pour les pédo(bip) pour qu'ils puissent échapper à la justice. Donc il y a pas des trucs pas possibles pour voir si la mémoire est pas corrompue, des trucs de sécu vraiment durcis qui pourraient être utiles clairement pour des dirigeants, dans les services secrets ou que sais-je. C'est pas notre but, notre but c'est de partir d'un constat, aujourd'hui nos données personnelles sont pillées en permanence et ça serait pas légal dans la vraie vie avec le courrier ou le téléphone, on veut changer ça. Donc on vous fait un produit qui change ça par défaut pour n'importe quelle personne.

1 The defining deliberations of this war aren't between the US and Iran, but Trump and himself. He’s vacillated between walking away and promising to bomb Iran to the Stone Age. Iran has been consistent: Its ideology is resistance, its strategy is chaos, its endgame is survival.
2 Trump has misunderstood the nature of the Islamic Republic. His threats to decimate Iran have not moved a regime which, since its inception, has shown itself willing to destroy the country and its people rather than compromise its power or ideology. theatlantic.com/international/…
3 In contrast to Trump, who has no fixed foreign policy views, Tehran’s ruling class call themselves “principlists” because of their fidelity to the principles of the revolution, above all resistance against America and the rejection of Israel’s existence.

This week has one binary event that matters.

Everything else is noise.

A thread. 🧵
The Strait of Hormuz handles ~20% of global oil supply.

It’s been disrupted since Feb 28.
WTI is at $114. Brent at $111.

The market isn’t panicking. It’s pricing in a long war.
Trump has set a Tuesday 8 PM ET deadline for Iran.

His Monday press conference is “with the Military.”

That framing is deliberate.

This isn’t a negotiation update. It looks like an escalation signal.

RESUMEN SEMANAL IRAN 29/03 - 05/04
#1 Otra vez cambiaron el Estado Final Estratégico!!! ahora no figura la destrucción del plan nuclear!!!!!


A todo esto, ya llegamos a las cinco semanas que trump dijo que iba a durar la guerra con Irán.
También había dicho que en 24 horas iba a finalizar la guerra en ucrania… como vemos trump es un mentiroso compulsivo, un estúpido o ambas cosas. Image
#2 EL sionismo impidió al cardenal Pizzaballa celebrar la Misa del Domingo de Ramos, , hecho que que no se ha producido en 1.000 años. Esto no fue una equivocación sino parte de la política sionista de adueñarse de los lugares santosbbc.com/mundo/articles…

As appalling as the Times Square video is, it still does not crack Jennifer Koonings’s top three.

Here she is on a trip to Iran, touring the regime’s National Aerospace Park and acting as an apologist for the Islamic Republic.
Looks like the Axis of Resistance kicked her to the curb job-wise, so now she’s pivoting to the Crackhead Barney strategy of yelling at random people in public. And it wasn’t just Iran apologetics either; she was pushing Hezbollah propaganda too.
And of course, in the immediate aftermath of October 7, she was quick to invoke her medical background to cast doubt on reports of sexual violence.

Harvard's first chairman of sociology, Pitirim Sorokin, spent decades analyzing every major civilization in recorded history to answer one question:

Why do great cultures die?

His answer, published in 1941, predicted almost everything happening today.

Down to the collapse of the family, the death of art, and the rise of tyrants. Maybe even the popularity of TikTok.

(thread) 🧵Image
Sorokin identified three types of culture that every civilization cycles through:

1. Ideational — Reality and value are rooted in the supersensory. God is the organizing principle. Art, law, science, and family all serve the Absolute.

2. Idealistic — A synthesis. The supersensory and the sensory are blended. Think fifth-century Athens or thirteenth-century Christendom. Noble, selective, and sublime.

3. Sensate — Only what you can see, hear, smell, touch, and taste is real. Everything beyond the senses is dismissed as fiction.

Every great culture moves through these phases.

The question is: which phase are we in now?
Western civilization entered its Sensate phase around the sixteenth century (around the Enlightenment)

The only true reality is what the senses can detect, absolute empiricism. Everything else — God, the soul, absolute moral law — is superstition or irrelevant.

From this single premise, Sorokin traced the transformation of every sector of culture: art, science, ethics, law, family, government, and economics.

All of them reorganized around one idea: the sensory world is all there is. 👇

Just read a wild JPMorgan note on the current energy + war situation. Here are the spiciest takes 🧵

“US energy independence” is basically a myth.

Even as a net exporter, the US is still getting hit by global price shocks—sometimes worse than Europe.
Strait of Hormuz = ultimate leverage.
Iran may have figured out it can “hold the global economy hostage” cheaply. Potential toll revenues: $70–90B/year.

The war analogy: things start with confidence, end with everyone worse off.

1/ Russia's blocking of Telegram is having a devastating effect on the volunteer communities that support the Russian army in Ukraine. A Russian warblogger posts a despairing account of how the 'humanitarian aid' system has all but collapsed as a result. ⬇️ Image
2/ The Russian army is hugely dependent on volunteer-provided 'humanitarian aid' – which in practice means anything from drones to generators to bulletproof vests – because so little is provided by the Russian Ministry of Defence. Alexander Zaborovsky writes:
3/ "I’m talking about Telegram blocks and specifically what has been drastically affected by them.

I’m referring to volunteer organisations and groups. 99% of them rely on Telegram for communication, including with combat units.

On Friday, I presented a risk assessment briefing re the Iran war to my team on an internal call. We thought it was worth sharing the notes (which were AI-transcribed & summarized), so here goes. Posting without much editing to save time.
Note for context: I was born & raised in the Gulf, and lived the first 37 years of my life in the UAE. I still have friends & family in the UAE & the rest of the Gulf who I love dearly and worry about daily.

Anyway, on to it.
Overall assessment of the war
- Conflict is on an escalation/attrition path with no realistic short‑term off‑ramp.
- Iran sees the situation as existential and therefore cannot de‑escalate without serious guarantees; it still has not used the full spectrum of its capabilities (e.g. regular army/shadow navy, maximum Houthi disruption, sustained strikes on Gulf civilian targets).
- Israel will not stop on its own; the US political/military leadership is structurally and personally incapable of absorbing the “L” and stepping back.
- Likely timeline: this war phase runs at least to end of the year, potentially longer, with conditions changing non‑linearly (step‑changes/phase shifts) rather than gradually.

🚨SHOCKING: Apple just proved that AI models cannot do math. Not advanced math. Grade school math. The kind a 10-year-old solves.

And the way they proved it is devastating.

Apple researchers took the most popular math benchmark in AI — GSM8K, a set of grade-school math problems — and made one change. They swapped the numbers. Same problem. Same logic. Same steps. Different numbers.

Every model's performance dropped. Every single one. 25 state-of-the-art models tested.

But that wasn't the real experiment.

The real experiment broke everything.

They added one sentence to a math problem. One sentence that is completely irrelevant to the answer. It has nothing to do with the math. A human would read it and ignore it instantly.

Here's the actual example from the paper:

"Oliver picks 44 kiwis on Friday. Then he picks 58 kiwis on Saturday. On Sunday, he picks double the number of kiwis he did on Friday, but five of them were a bit smaller than average. How many kiwis does Oliver have?"

The correct answer is 190. The size of the kiwis has nothing to do with the count.

A 10-year-old would ignore "five of them were a bit smaller" because it's obviously irrelevant. It doesn't change how many kiwis there are.

But o1-mini, OpenAI's reasoning model, subtracted 5. It got 185.

Llama did the same thing. Subtracted 5. Got 185.

They didn't reason through the problem. They saw the number 5, saw a sentence that sounded like it mattered, and blindly turned it into a subtraction.

The models do not understand what subtraction means. They see a pattern that looks like subtraction and apply it. That is all.

Apple tested this across all models. They call the dataset "GSM-NoOp" — as in, the added clause is a no-operation. It does nothing. It changes nothing.

The results are catastrophic.

Phi-3-mini dropped over 65%. More than half of its "math ability" vanished from one irrelevant sentence.

GPT-4o dropped from 94.9% to 63.1%.

o1-mini dropped from 94.5% to 66.0%.

o1-preview, OpenAI's most advanced reasoning model at the time, dropped from 92.7% to 77.4%.

Even giving the models 8 examples of the exact same question beforehand, with the correct solution shown each time, barely helped. The models still fell for the irrelevant clause.

This means it's not a prompting problem. It's not a context problem. It's structural.

The Apple researchers also found that models convert words into math operations without understanding what those words mean. They see the word "discount" and multiply. They see a number near the word "smaller" and subtract. Regardless of whether it makes any sense.

The paper's exact words: "current LLMs are not capable of genuine logical reasoning; instead, they attempt to replicate the reasoning steps observed in their training data."

And: "LLMs likely perform a form of probabilistic pattern-matching and searching to find closest seen data during training without proper understanding of concepts."

They also tested what happens when you increase the number of steps in a problem. Performance didn't just decrease. The rate of decrease accelerated. Adding two extra clauses to a problem dropped Gemma2-9b from 84.4% to 41.8%. Phi-3.5-mini from 87.6% to 44.8%. The more thinking required, the more the models collapse.

A real reasoner would slow down and work through it. These models don't slow down. They pattern-match. And when the pattern becomes complex enough, they crash.

This paper was published at ICLR 2025, one of the most prestigious AI conferences in the world.

You are using AI to help you make financial decisions. To check legal documents. To solve problems at work. To help your children with homework. And Apple just proved that the AI is not thinking about any of it. It is pattern matching. And the moment something unexpected shows up in your question, it breaks. It does not tell you it broke. It just quietly gives you the wrong answer with full confidence.Image
1/The kiwi problem is the one that should haunt every AI company.

The model saw "five of them were a bit smaller than average" and subtracted 5. It didn't ask why size would affect a count. It didn't flag the sentence as irrelevant. It just saw a number next to a descriptive word and assumed it was an operation.

That is not a reasoning error. That is the absence of reasoning entirely.Image
2/The scariest result in this paper is not the 65% drop. It's what happened when they gave the model 8 solved examples of the exact same question right before asking it.

The model had the answer key. It had the logic laid out step by step. Eight times. Then it saw one irrelevant sentence in the ninth version and still got it wrong.

You cannot fix this with better prompts.Image

Le projet d'attentat ukrainien contre le gazoduc Turkstream déjoué de justesse -- suite ...

Selon le chef du Renseignement de Serbie, des explosifs fabriqués aux États-Unis ont été utilisés par les ukrainiens dans leur projet d'attentat contre le gazoduc Turksstream - Balkan Stream, déjoué de justesse le 5 avril 2026, et qui visait à stopper tout les sources d'approvisionnement en gaz naturel russe de la Hongrie.

Le Premier ministre hongrois Vikor Orban a déclaré que l’Ukraine avait les moyens et la volonté de cibler le gazoduc TurkStream.

Les explosifs découverts ce week-end près de la prolongation serbe du gazoduc TurkStream, qui transporte du gaz russe vers la Hongrie, étaient de fabrication américaine, a déclaré aujourd'hui lundi 6 avril 2026 le chef de l’Agence de sécurité militaire de Belgrade (VBA), Duro Jovanic.

Dimanche, le président serbe Aleksandar Vucić a annoncé que des explosifs d’une « puissance dévastatrice » avaient été découverts à plusieurs centaines de mètres de l’infrastructure énergétique clé de la municipalité de Kanjiza, à environ 10 km de la frontière hongroise. S’ils avaient été déclenchés, ils auraient provoqué des coupures de gaz en Hongrie et dans le nord de la Serbie, a déclaré Vučic, ajoutant qu’il avait rapidement informé le Premier ministre hongrois Viktor Orban de ce développement.

Plus tard dans la journée, Jovanic a déclaré lors d’une conférence de presse que les marquages sur les explosifs indiquent "sans équivoque" qu’ils ont été fabriqués aux États-Unis. Cependant, il a souligné que cela "ne signifie en aucun cas que le producteur soit aussi le cerveau et l’exécuteur du sabotage" .... car les saboteurs étaient ukrainiens ... bien qu'évidemment l'Ukraine, cet Etat terroriste, ne démente son implication ...

Selon le chef du service de renseignements serbe, le complot visant à attaquer le pipeline Balkan Stream, qui fait partie du réseau plus large TurkStream, a été préparé par un ressortissant étranger formé militairement.

"Nous recherchons cette personne et elle sera certainement arrêtée. La seule question est de savoir si cela prendra trois jours ou plusieurs mois", a-t-il déclaré.

Jovanic a nié les accusations selon lesquelles le VBA aurait accusé l’Ukraine d’être derrière le sabotage prévu, affirmant que "l’armée serbe n’interfère pas dans les processus politiques en Serbie, encore moins dans un autre pays".

Le porte-parole du ministère ukrainien des Affaires étrangères, Georgy Tikhy, a bien évidemment déclaré dans un post sur X que "nous rejetons catégoriquement les tentatives de faussement lier l’Ukraine à l’incident avec des explosifs trouvés près du pipeline TurkStream en Serbie. L’Ukraine n’a rien à voir avec ça". .... Ben voyons, prenez-nous pour des cons .... 💩🤬

Dans un commentaire sur la déclaration de Tikhy, le ministre hongrois des Affaires étrangères Peter Szijjarto a répondu : "Oui, comme pour North Stream 2", faisant référence aux explosions de 2022 en mer Baltique qui ont gravement saboté un pipeline acheminant le gaz russe vers l’Allemagne. Les médias ont rapporté qu’un groupe de saboteurs ukrainiens était derrière l’attaque, bien que Moscou ait insisté sur le fait qu’elle n’aurait pas pu être menée sans l’aide des agences de renseignement occidentales (CIA et MI6).

x.com/FM_Szijjarto/s…

Orban a annoncé dimanche 5 avril 2026 avoir ordonné une augmentation de la protection militaire pour la section hongroise du gazoduc TurkStream, tout en accusant Kiev de "travailler depuis des années à couper l’Europe de l’énergie russe".

Le Premier ministre hongrois a déclaré que l’Ukraine avait effectivement imposé un "blocus pétrolier" à la Hongrie en coupant les approvisionnements russes via le pipeline Druzhba en janvier. Budapest rejette l’affirmation de Kiev selon laquelle les infrastructures auraient été endommagées lors des frappes russes, arguant que le gouvernement de #ZelenskyWarCriminal #ZelenskyTerrorist #ZelenskyDictator cherche délibérément à provoquer une crise énergétique afin d’influencer les élections législatives hongroises du prévues le 12 avril 2026.

Orban a visité une centrale gazière près de la frontière serbe, déclarant aux journalistes qu’il n’était pas encore clair qui était responsable de la tentative de sabotage, et que l’enquête était en cours. Cependant, il a ajouté que l’incident "s’inscrit dans une séquence d’événements car les Ukrainiens disposent de telles capacités et sont prêts et capables de faire de telles choses".

En parlant du sabotage déjoué du gazoduc TurkStream, le porte-parole du Kremlin, Dmitri Peskov, a noté que "on peut suggérer avec une forte probabilité que... cette fois, certaines traces de l’implication du régime de Kiev seront découvertes". L’Ukraine avait déjà ciblé les infrastructures énergétiques critiques, s’est-il souvenu.

en.yenisafak.com/world/russia-p…

Rappelons que le président russe Vladimir Poutine avait déjà averti en février 2026 que Moscou détenait des renseignements sur la planification d’attaques sous-marines à la bombe de Kiev en mer Noire contre les pipelines TurkStream et Blue Stream.
