There's a fancy resort on the Big Island that has a long hallway filled with art.

Hilton Waikoloa. Nice, but Fairmont Orchid is nicer.

Like the "Australia hack", the incidents need a lot more context. What really happened? If somebody left all the data exposed on an API, which is what it sounds like, it's not really a hack. All it needed to do was spam GETs within the bounds of rate limiting. APIs don't have to be documented to figure out the endpoints, especially when you have sites showing you exactly what they're doing by just checking off dev mode.

The advent of AI

He means LLMs.

It doesn't use any LLMs.

Rather than relying on a single model type, it uses a multi-layered, integrated AI framework categorized into three specialized branches of machine learning:

1. 4D Spatial-Temporal Digital Twins
2. Deep Reinforcement Learning (RL) for Conflict Orchestration
3. Multi-Modal Data Fusion & Predictive Weather Analytics

"Ultimately, SMART is less about a standalone deep learning model architecture and more about an orchestration ecosystem. It feeds specialized spatial-temporal, predictive weather, and reinforcement optimization models into a singular interface, providing instant decision-making options to human operators."

Can't. Democratic socialist governments across Europe means citizens earn a living wage, have health care, weeks of vacation, and don't have to choose between buying medicine or food, for example.

For now. 1% GDP growth, below replacement level birth rates, and a collapse in medical R&D are massive liabilities that will undo what they have now. For democratic socialism to be sustainable you need a 2.1:1 birth rate. The highest is Bulgaria with 1.63, Germany is at 1.36, Spain at 1.10. That's completely incompatible with pay as you go systems. Most of the EU doesn't have sovereign wealth funds, and those that do have finite timelines for resource exploitation to fund everything.

You could just have done any tiny amount of rudimentary web search on the timeline Lamp. The FAA moves at a snails pace, these projects don't appear overnight.

Commercial testing was conducted under the Biden Administration.

OK, when I see Pres Trump's FAA

2018"2020 (Initial Build): Air Space Intelligence was founded and began building its early predictive machine learning models
2020"2023 (Commercial Testing): Early iterations of the platform were deployed and tested by major commercial operators like Alaska Airlines to test flight route optimization in real-world conditions
2023"2025 (Defense Expansion): The technology was scaled up for complex, high-consequence operations through contracts with the U.S. Air Force.

Bipartisan/Pragmatic Cooperation: As a dual-use aerospace and defense company, ASI works across changing political landscapes. Their software has been developed and scaled through contracts under both the Biden and Trump administrations"ranging from integrations with the U.S. Air Force to the landmark 2026 FAA contract.

The Neutrality Principle (Article 345 TFEU)

Under Article 345 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), the EU is strictly neutral regarding property ownership. This means a member state is legally permitted to:
Nationalize industries or maintain state-owned monopolies (like public rail, healthcare, or energy grids).
Maintain a massive public sector and extensive social welfare programs.

The Catch: State-Owned Entities Must Act Capitalist

While a country can legally own companies or entire sectors, it cannot operate them as a "command economy" (where the government dictates prices, protects its own companies from outside trade, or bans competition).Under EU rules:No Unfair Subsidies: The state cannot give its public companies financial advantages ("State Aid") that private competitors from other EU nations don't get.

Open to Competition: Even if a utility grid or rail network is state-owned, the country must generally allow private foreign companies to offer services on that network.

Equal Treatment: Public and private entities must compete on equal terms under standard market conditions.

Article 119 of the Treaty of the Functioning of the European Union explicitly states that the economic policies of the EU and its member states must be conducted in accordance with the principle of an open market economy with free competition.

Checked mine with airmon-ng. No hidden AP, no visible AP from it. It's just connected to the router I use for house stuff.

Most of Europe have democratic socialist forms of government in one form or another.

Okay, name one that isn't a free market economy.

If it is still running that access point after the initial setup it's time to ron swanson it.

150 Houthi militants from Ibb, Yarem and Dhamar have withdrawn from their positions in the Wazieh and Khabob fronts following heavy losses inflicted by Houthi-aligned forces in recent days. Mass withdrawal of Houthi militants from the centre of the Wazieh Directorate in Al-Shuqair, following advances by the armed forces and their control of the Numan mountain range.

I have an LG stove/range, I keep it connected. Don't have "did you leave the oven on??" moments.

I have spent time deep in the instruction manual for the range, but I have not yet found out how to turn off that WiFi access point of the range.

Set it up to connect to your router, then block the MAC address on the router. Ta-da, no wifi connection on the stove. Now it takes a wifi pineapple to honeypot it.

He said free stuff from the government, so you went with an example of something you get directly, progressively taxed for your entire working life and isn't free at all.

One side has night vision & thermal and the other doesn't.

Yemeni government forces capture key summits of Nu'man Mountain and Dar al-Kafir, overlooking the Al-Wad'iyyah and Al-Mudharabah directorates in Lahij Governorate. The operation, supported by the "Shield of the Homeland" forces and tribal fighters, involved a swift nighttime incursion followed by the encirclement of the site.

Yesterday:

The Alliance spokesperson, Turki Al-Maliki, said that air defenses intercepted and destroyed six ballistic missiles launched by the militia, and thwarted attempts to target the cities of Taif and Yanbu. Al-Maliki affirmed that the escalation and violations by the Houthi militia will be dealt with firmly.

Houthi militia reports six raids on sites in areas under its control in the districts of Maran, Qatabir and Hiban, in Taiz.

"Most of the broader reforms, however, were adopted only in 2025 and 2026. Access to social benefits such as parental leave and child support will become conditional on residence and employment requirements. Obtaining Swedish citizenship will be subject to stricter requirements relating to length of residence, conduct, language and civic knowledge, as well as self-sufficiency. The government has also substantially lowered the threshold for deporting non-citizens convicted of crimes.

This concentration of reforms towards the end of the parliamentary term reflects the Swedish legislative process rather than a late political shift. Major legislation is normally preceded by government inquiries, public consultations and parliamentary scrutiny, meaning that comprehensive reforms often take years to move from proposal to implementation."

It's not socialism, or welfare capitalism, if you don't pull the ladder up behind you the moment immigrants are perceived as straining the system.

I think of Stockholm. 45F there. 40F is the coldest San Francisco gets and it's a paradise like 75F high, and that might as well be the frozen tundra compared to Houston's 105F summers.

I've seen a thin layer of snow once since Covid. Even when the Republicans tried to freeze us all to death through incompetence, there still wasn't snow here.

And definitely not lost in the irony, when you compare DSA immigration ideas to 2026 Swedish immigration policy, the Swiss are the #MAGA crowd. If you are showing up you better bring something better than a liberal arts degree.
