I was thinking more of the Alberta Separatist referendum (https://globalnews.ca/news/12069878/foreign-influence-watchd...) as well as against leftist politics in South America (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/sep/24/trump-brazil-e...)
Although there is evidence Israel was targeting US elections, including trying to harm Mamdani's chances: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackCore_election_interferenc...
They would have to be incompetent if they were not using them both for security penetration as well as social engineering / election meddling as everyone else is.
I actually assumed when I started using Cloudflare that it did have vary support and it led to a serious bug in my sass app at the time.
Is there a central repository of lean proofs shared by mathematicians like an npm repository of JavaScript packages?
Does it all depend on a stupid is-odd package in the end?
> They just recycled the Bend1 repo for Bend2 even though it's a completely different language.
Why would you kill the source history of Bend1 completely if it has 20K stars? You can only do that if Bend1 has no users at all right?
Does that meant that Bend1 isn't actually successful in its own right but rather only as a marketing project?
I wasn't one of the suspicious people but I am now.

Given I started on an Apple IIe with a green screen and basic, and have since had to shift languages and techniques repeatedly over the decades, I have to be someone that embraces new technology if I want to stay relevant and productive.
This means that I will adopt things that make sense and AI does make sense.
.SOG is a partitioned format with LOD support, thus it is designed for massive gs3d scenes. SPZ is has neither of those features, and thus is simpler. Given that ThreeJS itself doesn't yet support partitioning and LOD for its gs3d data - although it will come eventually - I figured that SPZ was a good fit for its initial capabilities. SPZ also has wider support right now compared to SOG.

There is even a link in the ThreeJS example preamble to this scene. I didn’t realize there was multiple lion splats of the same scene flying around.
And then the following trend will be humanoids and similar and they are barely getting started.
Gaussian splat models are fairly imperfect on average.
Even in a recession I think the shift towards AI would just accelerate since it is usually cheaper than humans.
The real risk I feel if what if AI is too successful and there is a lack of human demand because of dropping wages/employment?
(Then I wonder if sentient robot demand will make up for it? Although I realize that veers into science fiction futures.)
We are not at the top of this trend yet so I do not see this as over investment.
I remember the criticism Microsoft got for investing in Facebook/Meta that gave them a whooping $15B valuation and getting 1.7% in 2007. Not all deals will turn out that prescient but a few will and make up for any duds. This is a real market.
Apparently, this helped the Houthis advance quickly as the opposition forces were in disarray.
I know this is the standard since the Apple got on the ARM train, but for over a decade from 2008 to 2020 in the Intel world, there was very few significant gains like this. The best you got was like 10% and it wasn't even a yearly release cadance.
