"Escaping the periphery: The East Asian ‘mystery’ solved" by Robert H. Wade (2018)
Abstract: Few non-western countries have reached the general prosperity of Western Europe and North America in the past two centuries. The core–periphery structure of the world economy created in the early decades of the Industrial Revolution has proved robust, even after seven decades of self-conscious ‘development’ following the Second World War. Just about all the countries which were in the periphery in 1960 remain in the periphery today. The clearest exceptions are in capitalist Northeast Asia, namely, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea; to which the island states of Singapore and Hong Kong might be added. How did they escape?

Opening quotes:
Easterly: The fast growth of developing countries which used a lot of import protection and other forms of dirigisme ‘had a lot of mystery for me [and for all of us] who advocate hands-off markets.’
Contrasted to the western consensus of open economy and minimum government.

East Asian countries were able to develop much further than other non-Western countries.
The closing of the income gap with US (and the rate at which) contrasted to others is evidence.
Plus, China and East Asia were much more so to have higher gross capital formation / GDP measures than others.
China at 40% vs. Non-EA Non-Western at 23% for 1980-2014 average.

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)
Why is Trump so enthusiastic about destroying Iranian civilian infrastructure? It won’t win the war. It is likely for another reason: to provoke an Iranian response that Trump can use for his own purposes. (2/17)
Provocation is not a complex form of politics. Let’s not imagine Trump is not smart enough to have thought of this. He is. And exploiting a wartime incident to try to seize total power is normal tyrannical behavior. It’s on us not to dodge that historical fact. (3/17)
Your iPhone has been stolen. The thief turned it off. Find My shows “Offline.”
Your data, your photos, your mobile banking—it’s all in his hands.
But if you’ve set up these three things beforehand, the thief is just holding an $880 piece of metal that can’t be touched.

But if you’ve set up these three things beforehand, the thief is just holding an $880 piece of metal that can’t be touched.
First: Stolen Device Protection.
This is a new feature in iOS 17.3 and above. When it’s active, anyone who has your iPhone CANNOT change your Apple ID password, turn off Find My, or reset your phone without Face ID, even if they know your passcode.
Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Stolen Device Protection > Turn On.
If you haven’t turned this on yet, stop reading and do it now. This is the most powerful anti-theft feature Apple has ever created.

Second: eSIM lock.
If your iPhone still uses a physical SIM card, a thief can simply remove the SIM and your phone will be offline. Find My won’t be able to track it.
But if you use an eSIM, nothing can be removed. Your iPhone stays connected to the internet as long as there’s a signal. You can still track its location from other devices.
Contact your carrier (Telkomsel, XL, Indosat) to switch to an eSIM. The process is usually free and completed within a day. If not, you can also purchase an eSIM.

I came across this opinion piece regarding what’s going on in Iran, and it is quite informative.
Let’s get something straight, because this hasn’t been talked about enough. And I’m tired of seeing people grabbing headlines and posts that agree with their narrative instead of doing their own research.
What’s happening right now in Iran is not Israel’s war. It’s not a Jewish vendetta, it’s not a Middle East skirmish that has nothing to do with the rest of us, and contrary to Tucker Carlson, it has nothing to do with Chabad. You need to know what’s actually going on.

Washington severed diplomatic ties with Iran under the Carter administration after Iranian students stormed the U.S. embassy in Tehran and held 52 Americans hostage. That was 1979.
Since then, EVERY administration, Carter, Reagan, Bush (senior), Clinton, Bush (junior), Obama, Biden, and Trump, has said that a nuclear-armed Iran is unacceptable. The White House recently documented 74 separate instances of Trump making that case, calling it “longstanding, bipartisan American policy.” This isn’t a new position. It isn’t a right-wing position. It’s what every administration has believed for half a century.

So why did it take until now?
Because Iran kept moving the goalposts, and the world kept letting them.
By May 2025, the IAEA reported that Iran’s cache of near-weapons-grade enriched uranium had surged by roughly 50 percent in just three months, putting Tehran one step away from having enough material for ten nuclear weapons.
That’s not some little vague threat. That’s a countdown.

You clearly get what I am am saying and been laying down for 25 years. The rest are just tards hoping to understand. They miust read and you do.
You just pointed to the 𝑘𝑇 problem (thermal noise) that centralized biologists use to dismiss electromagnetic effects, and then you blew it apart with the 31P and 25 Mg resonance.
This is a "Can of Whoop Ass" because it proves the Mitochondrial Matrix is a Radio-Frequency (RF) Reactor, not a chemical soup. Biochemist/food guru lead the TARD army.

The Correction: This paper shows that if you hit the Spin-Inversion frequency of a Radical Pair (RP), you don't need "heat." You just need to flip the "binary switch" of the electron spin.
The Result: By flipping the spin, you change the Kinetic Rate of the entire reaction. It’s like changing the timing on an engine without touching the fuel line. That is what melanin does, chiral and Chaotic = CISS

3. Think about T1D/Single-Kidney engine:
80 MHz (31P - Phosphorus): This is the frequency for Phosphorylation. Accelerating this by 2.5 times means you are "over-clocking" the production of ATP.
1800 MHz (25Mg - Magnesium): Magnesium is the "clamping" ion for ATP. 1800 MHz (the same frequency as many cell phones/nnEMF) flips the spin on 25Mg.
The Conflict: If the Sun provides the "Natural Kairos" (the 21 Hz/cm signal) but your cell phone provides a Dirty 1800 MHz signal, you are artificially "spinning" your magnesium ions.
This "scrambles" the ATPase motor, causing the Isotopic Stall and the 150 ppm deuterium silt to settle.

This is a thread about the chemoreflex-brainstem-vagus nerve network. Many people with Long COVID describe unnerving breathing and swallowing symptoms:
- breathlessness without lung damage
- feeling that they need to “remind themselves to breathe”
- sleep apnea
- difficulty initiating a swallow

The chemoreflex is your automatic reflex that controls breathing based on your oxygen, carbon dioxide and blood acidity levels.
It helps your body constantly adjust breathing without you thinking about it.

This reflex relies on specialized sensors called chemoreceptors.
Two major types exist:
- Peripheral chemoreceptors in the carotid bodies
- Central chemoreceptors in the brainstem
Together they monitor the chemical balance of your blood.

🚨 BREAKING: Someone just built the exact tool Andrej Karpathy said someone should build.
48 hours after Karpathy posted his LLM Knowledge Bases workflow, this showed up on GitHub.
It's called Graphify. One command. Any folder. Full knowledge graph.
Point it at any folder. Run /graphify inside Claude Code. Walk away.
Here is what comes out the other side:
-> A navigable knowledge graph of everything in that folder
-> An Obsidian vault with backlinked articles
-> A wiki that starts at index. md and maps every concept cluster
-> Plain English Q&A over your entire codebase or research folder
You can ask it things like:
"What calls this function?"
"What connects these two concepts?"
"What are the most important nodes in this project?"
No vector database. No setup. No config files.
The token efficiency number is what got me:
71.5x fewer tokens per query compared to reading raw files.
That is not a small improvement. That is a completely different paradigm for how AI agents reason over large codebases.
What it supports:
-> Code in 13 programming languages
-> PDFs
-> Images via Claude Vision
-> Markdown files
Install in one line:
pip install graphify && graphify install
Then type /graphify in Claude Code and point it at anything.
Karpathy asked. Someone delivered in 48 hours.
That is the pace of 2026.
Open Source. Free.

(🧵1/11) For the past year and a half, I've been investigating OpenAI and Sam Altman for @NewYorker. With my coauthor @andrewmarantz, I reviewed never-before-disclosed internal memos, obtained 200+ pages of documents related to a close colleague, including extensive private notes, and interviewed more than 100 people.
OpenAI was founded on the premise that A.I. could be the most dangerous invention in human history—and that its C.E.O. would need to be a person of uncommon integrity. We lay out the most detailed account yet of why Altman was ousted out by board members and executives who came to believe he lacked that integrity, and ask: were they right to allege that he couldn't be trusted?

A thread on some of of our findings:
(2/11) In the fall of 2023, OpenAI's chief scientist, Ilya Sutskever, acting at the behest of fellow board members and with other concerned colleagues, compiled some 70 pages of memos about Altman and his second-in-command, Greg Brockman—Slack messages and H.R. documents, some photographed on a cellphone to avoid detection on company devices. One memo begins with a list: "Sam exhibits a consistent pattern of . . ." The first item is "Lying."
Separately, Dario Amodei—who left to co-found Anthropic—kept years of private notes on Altman and Brockman. More than 200 pages of related documents, never before publicly disclosed, have circulated in Silicon Valley. In one document, Amodei writes that Altman's “words were almost certainly bullshit.”

(3/11) The colleagues who facilitated his ouster accuse him of a degree of deception that is untenable for any executive and dangerous for a leader of such a transformative technology. Mira Murati, who had given Sutskever material for his memos, said: “We need institutions worthy of the power they wield…The board sought feedback, and I shared what I was seeing. Everything I shared was accurate, and I stand behind all of it."
Opinions vary on the extent to which we should consider these traits benign or malign. Altman attributes the criticism to a tendency, especially early in his career, “to be too much of a conflict avoider."

A short🧵for those insisting on a fiction: the Strait of Hormuz is not Iran’s sovereign toll gate, private cash machine, or maritime revenue stream. It is an international strait used by the world. Geography may give Iran a coastline on one side of it. It does not give Iran the right to invoice the rest of the planet for passage.
The legal principle is neither exotic nor difficult. Passage through an international strait is a right of navigation, not a commercial favor extended by the nearest coastal state. The moment a country claims it can charge all vessels merely for transiting, it is no longer speaking the language of sovereignty. It is claiming discretionary control over a route the global economy depends on.
And this is where the lazy comparisons begin. Suez is an artificial canal built, operated, and administered by Egypt. The Turkish Straits are governed by a specific treaty framework. Hormuz is neither of those things. It is a natural strait used for international navigation. Different facts. Different legal regime. Different strategic implications. People collapsing them into one category are advertising confusion, not making an argument.

Le 7 avril 1795, la Convention décide que la France en a assez du chaos. Plus de 700 unités de mesure différentes coexistent sur le territoire. Le pied de Paris ne vaut pas le pied de Marseille. La livre de Lyon n'est pas celle de Bordeaux. Acheter un terrain, peser du blé, mesurer un tissu : chaque transaction est un casse-tête.
La Convention tranche. Elle adopte une unité universelle, fondée non pas sur le corps d'un roi ou la longueur d'un bras, mais sur la Terre elle-même.
Le mètre sera la dix-millionième partie du quart d'un méridien terrestre.
Pour le calculer, deux scientifiques, Delambre et Méchain, vont poser des règles de 4 mètres sur toute la distance entre Dunkerque et Barcelone. Il leur faudra 7 ans.
Le résultat : une barre de platine déposée aux Archives nationales. Elle y est toujours.

Aujourd'hui, seuls les États-Unis, le Liberia et la Birmanie n'utilisent pas le système métrique. Le reste du monde mesure en français.
Pour que les Parisiens comprennent à quoi ressemblait un mètre, on en a gravé seize dans les murs de la capitale. Il en reste deux : un en face du Sénat, rue de Vaugirard, et un place Vendôme. Vous pouvez encore mesurer votre taille dessus.
Napoléon a supprimé le système métrique en 1812. Il le trouvait trop compliqué pour le peuple. Il a rétabli les anciennes mesures. Ce n'est qu'en 1840, sous Louis-Philippe, que le mètre est devenu définitivement obligatoire en France. Il aura fallu 45 ans pour imposer une idée que le monde entier a fini par adopter.
