Pěkné reporty, ale trochu typická PAQárna ignorující indiv. faktory, např. inteligenci nebo antisociální chování. Nekritizuji to, abych byl edgy, ale protože tvoří korpus zavádějících analýz, který v důsledku snižuje ponětí o realitě velké části stakeholders českého školství. Image
Např. v této metanalýze z roku 2019 bylo IQ nebo právě antisociální chování silným prediktorem nedokončení školy, @paq_research ale zřejmě přijde "ošklivé" se jimi zabývat a tak raději spoléhá jen na agregované "sociologické" ukazatele, které tyhle zamlčené efekty absorbují. Image
V článku a reportáži se naříká nad regionálními nerovnostmi, ale proč by měla existovat regionální rovnost? Je to absolutné špatná metrika, samotné rozdíly nic nedokazují. Tedy pokud nechceme lživě tvrdit, že školní výsledky musí být přirozeně stejné pro děti rodičů se ZŠ i VŠ. Image

Telling an LLM to "act as an expert" is lazy and doesn't work.

I tested 47 persona configurations across Claude, GPT-4, and Gemini.

Generic personas = 60% quality
Specific personas = 94% quality

Here's how to actually get expert-level outputs: Image
Here's what most people do:

"Act as an expert marketing strategist and help me with my campaign."

The LLM has no idea what kind of expert.

B2B or B2C?
Digital or traditional?
Startup or enterprise?
Data-driven or creative-first?

Garbage in → garbage out. Image
The framework that took me from 60% to 94% output quality:

Every persona needs 5 elements:

1. Specific role + seniority
2. Industry/domain context
3. Methodologies they use
4. Constraints they operate under
5. Output format they'd deliver

Let me break down each one:

The reason I don’t comment on caste issues is for two reasons

1) It makes Hs falsely think they are very divided people while Ms are united. (i.e- look up number of Alawite Shiites killed in Syria last year)

2) I blame UC elites for our problems, not OBCs SCs STs.
Let’s look at 1) first. The idea that Hindus are divided on caste and hate each other is a misleading myth. Hindus are fragmented but do not hate each other. Muslims have a veneer of unity but hate each other to the point of murder.
You must’ve heard of Muharram. Its a holiday in parts of India iirc. Do you know what its origins are? Its Shiites whipping themselves in solidarity with Ali’s family that was killed at the Battle of Karbala.

Most non-Muslims don’t know this but the reason the civil war in Islam was so sensitive was because the earliest Sunni Caliphs who were companions of the Prophet Mohammed literally murdered the family of the Prophet Mohammed.

You can’t fight alone.

You fight as a fireteam — four men acting as one.

This is where real tactics begin. 🧵 Image
Fireteams.

After mastering the buddy team and understanding the basics of how to maneuver as a unit composed of individuals, the next logical step is the fireteam. The fireteam is composed of four to five men and makes up one half to one third of a normal squad. The fireteam is compact, easy to maneuver, and much more self-sufficient than a buddy team. The fireteam is the smallest unit that is capable of coordinated simultaneous fire and movement.

Fireteams in their most basic form are composed of a team leader (TL), a rifleman, an automatic rifleman, and a grenadier as per US military doctrine. In a more irregular context, the team may be composed of three rifleman and a TL, one automatic rifleman, a TL, and two riflemen, or even a situation where there is a TL, a rifleman, a breacher, and a medic. Generally specialized inserts are added based on the mission and tasks needed to be conducted or threats that are anticipated; at the same time manpower constraints can lead to more unique fireteam compositions.

Regardless of the composition, the functional principles are that fireteams feature firepower, command and control, flexibility, and ideally specialization. This is what allows fireteams to operate as cells within the greater body that is a squad.Image
Common Team Roles and Responsibilities.

As stated previously, fireteam composition with irregular forces can vary, this will be a breakdown of the four common roles as per US military doctrine first and then moving onto others that may pop up in an irregular setting or with more specialized fireteams.

The doctrinal big four are, as mentioned, a team leader (TL), an automatic rifleman (AR), a grenadier (G), and a rifleman (R).

The TL’s job is to command the team and issue fire commands and coordinates with higher leadership (usually the squad leader). The team leader’s primary weapon is communication and control. The TL generally carries a rifle or carbine and a radio to communicate with other squads, he may also have a compass and protractor along with maps for orientation.

The AR holds the unique position of sustaining suppressive fire, using some type of weapon suited for such a task, this can be a box magazine fed rifle or even a belt-fed system. His objective is to control the team’s rate of fire and anchors the base of fire in contact. That is to say, he keeps heads down while the rest of the team pinpoints and picks off the rest. The AR must understand how their system operates under sustained fire and how to mitigate issues such as barrel swapping or judiciously utilizing fire, they need to have fire discipline and ammunition management skills, and be able to operate in a support position rapidly (drawing sectors of fire, estimating ranges effectively, and able to leverage their weapon into the environment to provide stable fire).

The G(renadier) employs some form of grenade launcher to provide high angle fragmentation, smoke, and illumination. This can be done with an underbarrel option or a dedicated platform. Their skills are crucial when dislodging hostiles from cover, breaking up attacks, and providing concealment during movement. The grenadier otherwise generally carries the same equipment as the rifleman.

The R(ifleman) is the most flexible position. A jack of all trades and master of none. They can provide accurate and direct fire and often double as assistants to Ars or grenadiers. They often carry mission-specific gear such as AT weapons and extra batteries.

Along with the big four, irregular forces may utilize other team members for specialization purposes or due to sheer lack of manpower and necessity. There are untold numbers of specialties and roles out there, sometimes individuals may cover multiple specialties at once, but the most common individual roles are: designated marksmen (DMR), breachers, anti-tank (AT), combat lifesaver (CLS) or medic (corpsman), communications or SIGINT operator, engineer/demolitions, scout/pointman, and drone operator.

The DMR is a rifleman trained with the use of precision weapons at intermediate ranges, generally between 300 and 700 yards. They utilize some form of an accurized rifle with magnified optics. Their objective is to fill the roll between a rifleman and a sniper. The DMR provides overwatch, counters hostile DMRs, and provides longer distance and accurate fire.

The breacher handles the use of entry tools in the act of breaching. While breaching is an act conducted as a group, a breacher handles the entry tools such as shotguns, sledgehammers, or explosive charges and employs them effectively during a breaching operation. The breacher generally carries a rifle or carbine.

The AT’s primary job is to counter hostile armor and vehicles. They generally carry a shoulder fired heavy weapon such as a rocket or recoiless weapon’s system. It is not uncommon in irregular forces for the AT and breacher to be hybridized as a singular man. The AT generally carries a rifle or a carbine.

CLS, or Combat Life Saver, is a soldier who can provide advanced trauma care beyond the MARCH (massive hemorrhage, airway, respiration, circulation, hypothermia (see combat medicine)) baseline. They generally carry an expanded IFAK or a CLS bag with more bandages and IV gear but not the full medical suite of a corpsman. They bridge the gap between individual aid and professional care. A corpsman on the other hand is a medical specialist responsible for the triage, treatment, and evacuation of casualties. The corpsman carries a full aid bag complete with medications, airway kits, chest seals, the works. They are generally not embedded within every fireteam but may be present within one. The CLS or medic generally carries a carbine.

The comms/SIGINT operator manages radios, data links, or even field telephones. They may also be used for intercepting signals, coordinating UAV data, and maintaining encryption discipline. They are likely to double as a rifleman.

Engineers/demolitions are responsible for field engineering tasks such as construction of obstacles, laying charges, demolishing hostile positions, or rigging explosives for ambush sites. They generally carry detonators in a case, tape, wire, det cord, and prepared explosives. The engineer/demo-man generally carry a rifle or carbine.

Scouts/pointmen are the lead element of a patrol or team, that is to say, they are the man in the front leading the rest along, not leading the team in a commanding way generally. Their job is to be the tip of the spear. They scan the environment for movement, traps, and any other anomalies. They must be skilled in reading the terrain, reaction drills, and have the best situational awareness. The scout likely doubles as a rifleman.

Drone operators provide real time intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) for the fireteam or squad. They generally carry some form of a small UAV that is deployed for shorter range observation. They can then relay visual intelligence to the TL, maintain greater situational awareness as the team moves, mark or lase targets (or drop small munitions on targets) depending on the drone’s capabilities. The drone operator generally carries a carbine or a rifle and doubles as a rifleman.

The fireteam can be composed of many individual parts, as seen above, but is a series of individuals that make up a robust organism where it’s strength lies within it’s ability to leverage firepower, communications, flexibility, and discipline to move and fight as one.Image

Since NED is the epicenter of the Censorship Industrial Complex, & after Trump's 2016 win NED began hiring officers & directors for their specialty in censorship work, here's a 🧵 on the Censorship Industrial Complex activities of Rep. Joaquin Castro, on NED's board since 2023: Image
Image
Image
Image
2: Since Castro is on both the House Intelligence Cmte & Foreign Affairs, he's uniquely privy to & influential on CIA, State Dept, USAID & NED matters, which those committees oversee. 2017-2018, Castro led the intelligence crusade that "Russian disinfo" online helped Trump win. Image
Image
Image
Image
3: As the 2020 election approached, Castro demanded the FBI take action on "right-wing misinformation" on social media that might get Latino voters to vote Trump. That demand held weight as Castro both oversaw the FBI in Congress & also chaired the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. Image

1/ This video and a second one from the same group of men highlight how the Russian army treats ex-convicts as expendable cannon fodder without any regard for their lives. Here's the back story. ⬇️
2/ The men shown in the videos are serving in the 126th Motorised Rifle Regiment (military unit 50526) of the 71st Motorised Rifle Division. They have all suffered serious injuries leading to amputations of limbs. Despite this, they say they are being sent to the front. One says:
3/ "By order of Colonel Vladimir Nikolaevich Konstantinov, deputy commander of the 71st Division, we are being driven, as it were, to the slaughter. Because, it seems to us, he has a personal score to settle, as we have repeatedly heard that prisoners should not live, and so on."

Stanford researchers just published a prompting technique that makes today’s LLMs behave like better versions of themselves.

It’s called “prompt ensembling” and it runs 5 variations of the same prompt, then merges the outputs.

Here’s how it works 👇 Image
The concept is simple:

Instead of asking your question once and hoping for the best, you ask it 5 different ways and combine the answers.

Think of it like getting second opinions from 5 doctors instead of trusting one diagnosis.

Stanford tested this on GPT-5.2, Claude 4.5, and Gemini 3.0.Image
Here's the systematic approach to generate prompt variations:

Variation 1: Direct Question
"What are the main risks of [decision]?"

Variation 2: Role-Based
"You're a risk analyst with 20 years experience. What are the main risks of [decision]?"

Variation 3: Contrarian Angle
"What would a critic say are the main risks of [decision] that most people overlook?"

Variation 4: First Principles
"Breaking this down from first principles, what are the fundamental risks of [decision]?"

Variation 5: Historical Comparison
"Based on similar decisions in the past, what are the main risks of [decision]?"

Each variation triggers different reasoning paths in the LLM.

Now comes the merging strategy...Image

Uzunca bir bilgisel olacak ama Gümrük Birliğinin ne olup olmadığını, 1995 yılında niye GB tamamladığımızı, niye her şeye reğmen hala GB içinde olduğumuzu, alternatifinin olup olmadığını, GB'nin ekonomik etkisini ve bundan sonra ne olacağını yazacağım. Başlayalım.
1. Öncelikle GB bir hukuki yükümlülüktü. 1963 Ankara Antlaşması ve 1973 Katma Protokol ile karara bağlanmıştı. AB tarafı tarife indirimlerini 1973 yılında yapmış, Türkiye'ye de geçis süresi olarak 22 yıl vermişti. Biz de tarifelerimizi kademeli olarak indirecektik.
2. Ama Kıbrıs harekatı ve sonrasındaki ekonomik ve de siyasi konjonktüre Türkiye tarife indirimlerini askıya aldı. 1992 yılında indirime yeniden başladık ve 1996 itibariyle tarifleleri sıfırladık.

Ukraine destroys about three Russian battalions every day. And that’s not enough. — Madyar, commander of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces.

We must destroy much more.

We have to rely on long-range strikes in order to compensate for the lack of recovery.

1/
Madyar: There are no illusions about a mobilization miracle in 2026.

Those who wanted to fight are already fighting or are dead.

Those who stayed out for four years won’t suddenly volunteer. We’ll keep working on recruitment — but I have no false hopes.

Imagina comer helado en el desierto hace 2.400 años sin electricidad y sin congeladores, solo utilizando barro y física pura. Así fue como los ingenieros persas dominaron el calor extremo mucho antes que nosotros. Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 Image
Los llamaban Yakhchal (Pozo de Hielo). Mientras el resto del mundo bebía agua tibia, en la antigua Persia en el año 400 a.C., construían estructuras cónicas gigantes que funcionaban como neveras eternas en medio de la arena. Image
El calor en Irán puede superar los 40 °C. Mantener el agua fría es difícil, así que congelarla puede parecer brujería, pero ellos entendieron dos principios físicos a la perfección: el aislamiento térmico y el enfriamiento evaporativo. Image

An interior remodeling company invested $18,500 with us.

They've made back multi-six figures from SEO in the past 8 months.

Here's the exact strategy we used to rank them #1 on Maps and LLMs:
When they came to us they were sitting around position 11 in Map results.

Obviously this meant they were getting ZERO leads from Google search.

Why?
> 35 reviews
> Generic business name
> GBP linked to a unoptimized homepage that mentioned 6 different cities
> 7 indexed citations

Their top competitor had over 160 reviews and had been ranking #1 for years.

Here's what we changed:
1. We helped them file a DBA and updated their business name.

Their competitor was just "[Owner Name] Construction." Our client was similar.

We changed theirs to "[Brand] Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling"

Google gives a measurable ranking boost when your business name matches what people actually search. The DBA cost $45 and took about a week to process. This is completely within Google's guidelines as long as it's your legal business name.

We rebuilt all their citations with the new name to make sure NAP was consistent everywhere.

LLMs also tend to recommend businesses with keywords in their name over less favorable names.

🔥🔥🔥Bad Kitteh has European Union butt to kick today. What I’ve already reported on how their DSA censorship rules were created should have ended it. @ElonMusk was fined by rules created by the Global Trump resistance!

Hello, is anyone listening?

The radical leftist, Avaaz, used pressure campaigns and activists to get their way on censorship. Once even using a million people to pressure Facebook. They even worked with Imran Ahmed of the Center For Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) too.

Avaaz was created by MoveOn, a key player in the Soros Democracy Alliance Trump Resistance, aka Serbian Otpor. And Avaaz is used to stop “Trumps” globally.

Avaaz is also partnered with Newsguard. And was a signatory for the EU Code of Practice on Disinfo.

About a year ago, I did a 5 part series on Avaaz, with tons of evidence, that I’m going to review today.

Avaaz even ran a disinfo war room in Brussels and EU brass visited them regularly.

Here’s a couple of quotes so you understand what Avaaz is about:

“Avaaz is the epicenter of the global resistance to Trump. Together, we've helped defeat Trumpism at the ballot box in Western Europe, and defeated Trump's attempt to kill the Paris climate agreement.”

“Avaaz has planned a massive, people-powered uprising to help defeat the far right. We'll expose the wolves in sheep's clothing, uniting millions in a defiant rejection of hate and planetary destruction.”

Now onto my EU evidence.

♦️ Avazz:

“We can honestly say Europe’s new Digital Services Act wouldn’t look like it does without Avaaz.

We ran massive investigations into the harms caused by social media and shared our findings everywhere. Then we drafted groundbreaking legislative proposals.

EU Commission Vice-President Margrethe Vestager endorsed our call for a “Paris Agreement of the Internet”. And EU Commissioner Thierry Breton was so convinced by our research that he went on TV to talk about it the day after we met him!

For over four years, our movement - together with an inspiring civil society coalition – has been at the forefront of this battle to protect citizens and democracy.

In 2019, many EU lawmakers didn’t really understand the problem. The idea that lies and conspiracy theories going viral online.

So, inspired by a Lithuanian project, we hired researchers we called “elves” to investigate internet “trolls” and reveal the scale of the disinformation problem, especially the impact it was having in Europe.

Working from a war room in Brussels, our team of 30 “elves” uncovered what 30,000 Facebook monitors and their team of experts seemed to have missed: huge networks, using fake accounts and inauthentic pages, spreading toxic lies and hatred across Europe ahead of crucial elections. Following our investigation, Facebook took down networks that could reach an estimated 3 BILLION (!!!!) views in a single year!!

As election day approached, top EU politicians, journalists and security experts were coming to our war room almost every day for information and briefings.

Top EU officials were shocked by what we had found and asked us: what could be done?

So, working with social media insiders, academics and lawmakers, we developed research-backed proposals to clean up social media.

And we didn’t let go – showing up at every single meeting, event or video call with our findings, and publishing ever more evidence exposing how platforms were failing. We even organised a conference on disinformation bringing together some of the most influential EU politicians and executives from Facebook and Twitter to make our case!

We even delivered messages to politicians from Avaaz members across Europe in beautifully made books!”

Video- Imran Ahmed of the Center For Countering Digital hate worked with Avaaz on the Paris Agreement For Disinfo to work on the DSA. This was attended by EU Vice President Commissioner Věra Jourová, and EU commissioners etc.

Avaaz was created from a regime change org, ResPublica, and MoveOn. This is what is running the global Trump and populist resistance.

Avaaz was called the globe's largest and most powerful online activist network.

Is it any wonder that MoveOn is running a Serbian Otpor on Trump? Otpor defined is resistance.

After I share the 5 parts on Avaaz, I’ll review the MoveOn Trump Resistance.

Oh and Soros funded the creation of Avaaz.
Part 2:

When the left writes the rules that censor the right, be careful what you admit to.

This part also mostly discusses what I mentioned in my top post. Feel free to move on to Part 3 without missing much.

Dsa - “As we met with decision-maker after decision-maker to argue that the legislation should focus on holding platforms accountable for harms created by their algorithms, slowly the idea started to gain traction.”

“After years of work, months of negotiations, and a final stretch of over 16 hours of non-stop discussions in Brussels, it happened: officials and lawmakers agreed upon a historic law that holds platforms accountable for the harms caused by their algorithms.”
