**UK to recognise Palestinian statehood in September unless Israel agrees ceasefire and two-state solution, Starmer says**
Huh?
Isn't that like saying "train to stop at station unless passengers get out on the platform"?
Wouldn't the two-state solution mean Palestine was a state – the clue is in the name?

I had a strange experience while crossing through US CBP in the Toronto airport. I was coming home after three days in Canada. The officer scanned my passport, and then sat there for what must have been five minutes, reading his screen. Every so often he would raise his eyebrows slightly, like “Huh.” He said nothing and asked me no questions, and I stood there patiently. After this long interlude he handed me my passport and said, “You can go.”
Do you suppose he was reading my social media? My LinkedIn? A Google AI overview about me? Who the hell knows?

I really do not love the type of advertising that, rather than trying to make people want the product, tries to make people surrender to the product. Rather than trying to work on greed, it reaches for despair.
"ooh our LLM can blackmail people"
"ooh our CEO is afraid of the product"
"ooh our thing is inevitable"
"oopsie tee hee we invented Skynet" you very much did not.
It's software. Can we maintain some perspective here?
Software, even very fancy software, requires hardware to run on.
Hardware requires electricity, cooling, and maintenance. People work around the clock to keep those always-available systems available.
Software is neither inevitable nor autonomous. It is not self-creating nor self-maintaining.
It works because people make it work.

One of the nerdiest things I'll ever say is this:
There are multiple small malls here in Bangkok that specialize entirely in electronics and IT equipment, and I'm looking forward to visiting them.
I'm down for recommendations for those two cities, too!
Eventually Taipei is where I might like to live, and Hong Kong is on the "visit as soon as possible" list, with Tokyo and Osaka.
Please, hit me up with malls and stores and sights and places to eat/drink/dance, whatever you know.
