In meiner Nachbarschaft wurde vor rund acht Wochen eine Verkehrsinsel umgestaltet und im Zuge dessen auch ein neues Schild aufgestellt wo vorher keines war. Soeben hat es zum fünften mal jemand umgefahren. 
Das gesplitterte Holz, das dort liegt, waren die Haltekeile vom letzten mal, als die Stadt schon keinen Bock mehr hatte, das verbogene Schild zu ersetzen.
Update: die Stadt hat das Schild wieder aufgerichtet und absolut verkehrssicher befestigt. Das hält jetzt wieder ein paar Tage.
1/4 Babar's First Love Baburi and How He Looked
Many experts say that the ancient Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir was destroyed in 1528 by the fanatic Babar. Some experts believe it was named Baburi, not after Babur himself. After all, Baburi was the first love of his life. Babar says so himself in his private diary, shared below. He was 17 at the time.
Who was Baburi?
Baburi Andijani was a young male shop attendant. The surname Andijani implies that the family had roots in the city of Andijan, Uzbekistan.
Too bashful for conversation, Babur retreated alone to the hills to write poetry. Although Babur does not describe his crush’s appearance, the round, beardless face and arched eyebrows exemplify sixteenth-century beauty ideals. The image is from the 1550s, in Bukhara, Uzbekistan.

2/4 “During this time, there was a boy from the camp market named Baburi. Even his name was amazingly appropriate. I developed a strange inclination for him—rather I made myself miserable over him.
Before this experience I had never felt a desire for anyone, nor did I listen to talk of love and affection or speak of such things. At that time I used to compose single lines and couplets in Persian. I composed the following lines there:
‘May one be so distraught and devastated by love as I; May no beloved be so pitiless and careless as you.’
Occasionally Baburi came to me, but I was so bashful that I could not look him in the face, much less converse freely with him. In my excitement and agitation I could not thank him for coming, much less complain of his leaving. Who could bear to demand the ceremonies of fealty? One day, during this time of infatuation, a group was accompanying me down a lane, and all at once I found myself face-to-face with the boy. I was so ashamed I almost went to pieces. There was no possibility of looking straight at him or of speaking coherently. With a hundred embarrassments and difficulties I got past him. These lines of Salih came to my mind: ‘I am embarrassed every time I see my beloved. My companions are looking at me, but my gaze is elsewhere.’

3/4 It is amazing how appropriate this verse was. In the throes of love, in the foment of youth and madness, I wandered bareheaded and barefoot around the lanes and streets and through the gardens and orchards, paying no attention to acquaintances or strangers, oblivious to self and others.
‘When I fell in love I became mad and crazed. I knew not this to be part of loving beauties.’
Sometimes I went out alone like a madman to the hills and wilderness, sometimes I roamed through the orchards and lanes of town, neither walking nor sitting within my own volition, restless in going and staying.
‘I have no strength to go, no power to stay. You have snared us in this state, my heart.’”

Dashia Rocío (19 años, estudiante) acudió el 26 de noviembre a la agencia Nissan Lomas Verdes.
Su padre la citó prometiéndole un auto, pero la esperaban 10 agentes.
La Fiscalía asegura que Dashia extorsionaba a "finales de septiembre".
Pero el 2 de septiembre, semanas antes de ese supuesto delito, Dashia huyó de la casa de su padre.
No se fue por rebeldía: él intentó abusar de ella.

OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google use 10 internal prompting techniques that guarantee near-perfect accuracy…and nobody outside the labs is supposed to know them.
Here are 10 of them (Bookmark this for later):
Here are 10 of them (Bookmark this for later):
Technique 1: Role-Based Constraint Prompting
The expert don't just ask AI to "write code." They assign expert roles with specific constraints.
Template:
You are a [specific role] with [X years] experience in [domain].
Your task: [specific task]
Constraints: [list 3-5 specific limitations]
Output format: [exact format needed]
---
Example:
You are a senior Python engineer with 10 years in data pipeline optimization.
Your task: Build a real-time ETL pipeline for 10M records/hour
Constraints:
- Must use Apache Kafka
- Maximum 2GB memory footprint
- Sub-100ms latency
- Zero data loss tolerance
Output format: Production-ready code with inline documentation
---
This gets you 10x more specific outputs than "write me an ETL pipeline."
Watch the OpenAI demo of GPT-5 and see how they were prompting ChatGPT... you will get the idea.

Technique 2: Chain-of-Verification (CoVe)
Google's research team uses this to eliminate hallucinations.
The model generates an answer, then generates verification questions, answers them, and refines the original response.
Template:
Task: [your question]
Step 1: Provide your initial answer
Step 2: Generate 5 verification questions that would expose errors in your answer
Step 3: Answer each verification question
Step 4: Provide your final, corrected answer based on verification
---
Example:
Task: Explain how transformers handle long-context windows
Step 1: Provide your initial answer
Step 2: Generate 5 verification questions that would expose errors in your answer
Step 3: Answer each verification question
Step 4: Provide your final, corrected answer based on verification
---
Accuracy jumps from 60% to 92% on complex technical queries.

I do so reluctantly bc my father worshipped his cancer medical team. He was very grateful for them. And so am I.

Weeks before he died, at home because Dad insisted on staying home until the end which required 24 hour service from Mom and myself, Dad met with his cancer team over a conference call.
They relayed to him his latest blood results. This is the key moment I believe they failed.

🔥🔥🔥Breaking! Soros Open Society European Policy Institute (OSEPI) has visited EU officials 102 times since 2014! These meetings included DSA discussions. Open Society also belongs to the European Commissions High Level Group on combating hate speech and hate crime.
I kept thinking there had to be some mistake with 102 meetings. But nope, I downloaded a list of all 102! And I do believe these are in addition to the High Level Working Group meetings.
This Soros involved High Level Group started in 2016 with an announcement from Vera Jourová, so yeah increasing censorship is explained by this.
The EU High Level Group on combating racism, xenophobia and other forms of intolerance, set up in 2016, was renamed to the High Level Group on combating hate speech and hate crime.
“The High Level Group on combating hate speech and hate crime will foster the further exchange and
dissemination of good practices between national authorities and concrete discussions on how to fill
existing gaps and better prevent and combat hate crime and hate speech. The High Level Group will also
be a platform for dedicated discussions on how to tackle specificities of particular forms of intolerance, also
in light of the experience of civil society and communities.”
I’m like on information overload here! They even have meeting agendas and minutes you can download.
I will follow up with sources and feel free to download and read as much as you like!

After Western sanctions in 2022, India–Russia oil trade exploded, reaching record levels ($52–67B annually).
But there was a huge problem:
India tried paying Russia in INR, and Russia rejected it.
Why? Because INR is not convertible internationally.
Russia called it “pointless outside India” in May 2023.

With $40B+ stuck in Indian banks, Russia faced a crisis:
Couldn’t repatriate INR
Couldn’t convert to USD due to sanctions
Couldn’t spend INR inside India
So it needed a store-of-value escape hatch.
This was the beginning of a silent monetary revolution.

But the days after partition tell a story of murderous Arab violence and mobilization. And I will use mostly Arab newspapers to show it.

How the U.S. government committed one of the greatest crimes against its own citizens—and tried to pretend it was “security.”
Executive Order 9066 didn’t say “Japanese Americans,” “prison camps,” or “asset seizure.”
It didn’t have to. It handed the military a blank check to remove “any or all persons” from entire regions.

This past week, @munkdebate hosted 4 Israelis to debate 🇵🇸 statehood. 100s protested outside. Multiple people disrupted speakers inside. They've yet 2 offer any official response to the charge that they hosted 🇮🇱 war criminals debating the future of a land they don’t belong to.🧵
Instead, The Munk Debates just posted this clip of @ayelet_shaked 👇, a former Israeli minister implicated in policies of mass killing, calling a protester “a useful idiot for a terror organisation.”
Shaked: a politician who once referred to Palestinian children as “little snakes,” and who helped architect policies that left thousands dead.
That’s who the Munk Debates handed a microphone to, during an active genocide, and then proudly amplified when she insulted a protester.

El 7 de diciembre de 1874, el coronel Julio Argentino Roca derrotó al general José Miguel Arredondo en la segunda batalla de Santa Rosa, poniendo fin a la Revolución mitrista que había estallado en septiembre de ese año contra las autoridades nacionales. Debido a su decisivo triunfo contra las fuerzas revolucionarias, Julio Argentino Roca fue ascendido a General por el presidente Nicolás Avellaneda, a los 31 años de edad.
En los últimos tiempos de la presidencia de Domingo Faustino Sarmiento se empezaron a barajar diversos nombres sobre quien podía ser su sucesor. Entre esos con más posibilidades se encontraba por el oficialismo el vicepresidente Adolfo Alsina y Nicolás Avellaneda, quien sirviera como ministro de Justicia e Instrucción Pública de Sarmiento. Por la oposición en un primer momento se mencionaban las candidaturas de Manuel Quintana o Carlos Tejedor, pero el candidato más fuerte era Bartolomé Mitre, del Partido Nacionalista, quien desde el senado se había convertido en una de las principales voces de la oposición al gobierno de Sarmiento.
El Partido Nacionalista como era natural propuso a Bartolomé Mitre como su candidato para la carrera hacia la presidencia. El general Mitre aceptó la candidatura el 20 de mayo de 1873, acompañado en la fórmula por el senador correntino, Juan Eusebio Torrent. La fuerza del mitrismo se localizaba en Buenos Aires, Corrientes, San Juan, Santiago del Estero y San Luis. Mitre declaró tener “consideraciones de un orden superior” para aceptar tal ofrecimiento. Veía en peligro el principio de la soberanía popular y la pureza del sufragio por parte de “ligas bastardas de mandatarios”.
