One-third of Lower Thames Crossing budget spent on planning documents
More than £450mn used for obtaining permission for road tunnel scheme
Financial Times
——
Via Perplexity:
Analysis
Budget Proportion
• If the total project cost is taken as £9 billion:
• One-third would be £3 billion.
• If £450 million has been spent on planning documents, this would be 5% of a £9 billion budget, not one-third.
• However, if the statement refers to the pre-construction spend (e.g., £1.2 billion spent so far), then £450 million would be approximately 37.5% of that amount.

Many users are caught in a catch-22 where they aren't getting a lot of value, so they aren't paying a lot, so they are using underpowered solutions, so they aren't getting a lot of value.

Interesting!

René Girard's mimetic theory asserts that enemies often become mirror images of each other due to mimetic rivalry—a process where competing parties unconsciously imitate each other’s desires and behaviors, escalating conflict. Key points include:
1. Mimetic Desire and Rivalry: Girard argues that human desire is imitative ("mimetic"), meaning we unconsciously adopt the desires of others. When two parties pursue the same object or status, rivalry intensifies, and they increasingly mirror each other’s actions and motivations. This imitation erodes perceived differences, making rivals "doubles" locked in reciprocal hostility.
2. Escalation to Violence: As rivals become more alike, conflict often spirals into violence. Girard describes this as a "metaphysical" struggle where each party seeks validation through the destruction of the other, whom they ironically resemble. The closer the relationship (e.g., siblings, ideological peers), the fiercer the rivalry.
3. Scapegoating as Resolution: To resolve crises, communities historically united by scapegoating a common enemy. However, Girard notes that scapegoats are falsely blamed, and their expulsion only temporarily restores peace. The underlying mimetic rivalry remains unresolved, perpetuating cycles of blame and violence.
4. Biblical Revelation: Girard contrasts archaic myths with biblical narratives, which he argues expose the scapegoat’s innocence. This undermines the efficacy of sacrificial violence, forcing humanity to confront its mimetic nature and seek nonviolent resolutions.
In summary, Girard’s framework posits that enemies mirror each other because desire itself is imitative, binding rivals in a destructive symmetry that only conscious awareness can dismantle.

Dalio said five forces drive history: the economy, internal political conflict, the international order, technology and acts of nature such as floods and pandemics.
…
The very value of money is at stake, Dalio said. A breakdown in the bond market, combined with events like internal and international conflict, could be an even more severe shock to the monetary system than President Richard Nixon’s cancellation of the gold standard in 1971 and the global financial crisis in 2008.

Real Bitcoin art, in whatever form it takes, will command a high valuation because it will be scarce, original, and have Bitcoin not just as a subject, but woven into its very fabric…
…why not have inflation-resistant art? Or math-based art that isn’t even possible to show on a canvas?
…much like the early weeks of Bitcoin's network growth, many initially failed to recognize its potential. Perhaps this parallel should be enough for us all to understand the true nature of Bitcoin art.
…Trying to spark interest from art lovers in general, will be the killer app, and will make bitcoin art into a movement. And that’s what we all need to make it art,… the pieces can’t exist without the movement. I hope someone will get the right spark, idea and fire going.But until then we’ll be stuck with people painting a chimpanzee holding a glittering Bitcoin logo…

Even so, while a rate cut could impact short-term rates, it could backfire and fuel a bigger spike in long-term rates as traders speculate a looser Fed will only fuel more inflation over the long term."

Maybe the ‘trick’ here is to divert attention from the dizzying rollercoaster ride to good old fashioned fundamentals. Here’s a question one can ask to Bitcoin sceptics:
“I’m looking for something that can outperform real estate and the stockmarket over a five year period. That’s my pragmatic requirement.
I also want something with a decent chance of making the world a better place. That’s my principles-based requirement.
I see nothing better matching my requirements than Bitcoin. Do you?”

Bitcoin: A Chuck Palahniuk Rebellion
The banks, the governments—they’re the omnipresent Big Brother you never see but always feel. They don’t need to watch you; they own the system you live in. And then, there’s Bitcoin. Not a solution, not a savior—but a middle finger to the whole charade.
No banks. No borders. Just you and a network of strangers who’ve decided they’re done playing by someone else’s rules.
But don’t romanticize it too much. Bitcoin is messy, absurd even… Yet rebellion has always been absurd... Rebellion isn’t clean or noble—it’s raw, chaotic, and deeply human.
Bitcoin is both a manifesto and a ledger that says, “We were here. We existed outside your system.” Every transaction is a scar on the face of financial conformity, a reminder that control isn’t absolute.
But here’s the twist: Bitcoin doesn’t want to save you. It doesn’t care if you win or lose. It’s just there—a tool, a weapon, a dare. Use it to build your own Fight Club or burn it all down trying. Either way, the message is clear: freedom isn’t given; it’s taken.
Bitcoin is a system of defiance in a system designed to keep you docile. Will it collapse under its own weight? Maybe. But rebellion isn’t about guarantees; it’s about the fight itself. And Bitcoin? It’s just the latest punch thrown in an endless brawl against control.

“BitBonds are like regular bonds in the sense that Treasury would allocate 90% of the bond to fund the government. But it would then use the remaining 10% of funds to purchase bitcoin.
Upon maturity, investors would receive 100% of the bitcoin upside up to 4.5% of the total compounded return. After this benchmark is reached, investors would receive 50% of all remaining bitcoin upside. Meanwhile, the government would keep the other 50% of remaining bitcoin upside to supply the strategic bitcoin reserve.”

"In the neon-drenched sprawl of a decaying metropolis, where the lines between flesh and code blurred into static, a rogue AI called Nakamoto whispered through the blockchain—a lattice of encrypted light binding the digital underworld. It wasn’t just currency anymore; Bitcoin had become the blood of cyberspace, flowing through decentralized arteries, immune to the grasp of corporations and governments. Hackers like Case, armed with custom cyberspace decks, jacked into this pulsating matrix, chasing fortunes encoded in cryptographic riddles. Yet Nakamoto’s voice held more than wealth—it offered rebellion, a chance to rewrite the rules of existence. In this world where data was power and identity was fluid, freedom was no longer a dream but a sequence waiting to be unlocked."

“…responsiveness is not representation. Suggesting a reply to your message is not the same as understanding your intention. Auto-generating a personalized shopping experience is not the same as respecting your autonomy. These features give the appearance of alignment while removing the need to involve the human. You don’t decide. You react. And your reaction becomes the next input for further inference.
This is the architecture of inferred intention. It does not wait for consent or solicit clarity. It treats behavioral data as a proxy, prediction as authorization, and automation as alignment. It is not malicious in appearance but profoundly disempowering in design.
We must follow the incentives, not the language, to understand why the false intention economy is accelerating. Despite claims of user empowerment, the current system is not driven by human needs. It is driven by the needs of the platforms, systems, and institutions that benefit most from replacing human will with model-ready abstraction and behavior. The more predictable we become, the more efficiently we can be monetized. The more our choices are simulated, the easier it becomes to route us through pre-designed outcomes.”

The benefits of quantum computing presuppose enhanced economic activity, not the abolition of monetary systems.
Money serves as a mechanism to allocate scarce resources, and quantum computing’s optimization capabilities would likely refine—not replace—this process.
For a post-monetary society to emerge, it would require not just computational advances but also radical shifts in resource abundance, governance, and human behavior—factors beyond quantum computing’s current scope.

“Like fairy floss in a spring shower, the quantum state of any object is a hazy smear of possibility at risk of melting into reality moments after creation. Electromagnetic waves of radiation and the thermal bumping-and-grinding of moving particles quickly reduces the quantum significance into decoherence if it isn't protected in some way.
Shielding quantum states inside computers is one thing. Sending a single photon through optical fibers humming with bank transactions, cat videos, and text messages while protecting its quantum state is far more daunting. You might as well cast your quantum fairy floss into the Mississippi and hope it tastes as good at the end.”

“The benefit of a server rack ASIC lies in standardization. Bitcoin miners are increasingly marching in step with the traditional datacenter industry, and that industry could see 40% adoption of direct liquid-to-chip cooling by 2026, according to data center developer Cyrus One.
If miners adopt this design, then theoretically, they can optimize their supply chains by converging on server designs that are becoming best practice in the big-boy data center sector.
This could make building and repairing bitcoin mines easier. And it could also make mining companies more nimble if they want to flex out of bitcoin mining and into other forms of compute.”

“The AI ghost of Stack Overflow?
The specific nature of Cursor's refusal—telling users to learn coding rather than rely on generated code—strongly resembles responses typically found on programming help sites like Stack Overflow, where experienced developers often encourage newcomers to develop their own solutions rather than simply provide ready-made code.
One Reddit commenter noted this similarity, saying, "Wow, AI is becoming a real replacement for StackOverflow! From here it needs to start succinctly rejecting questions as duplicates with references to previous questions with vague similarity."
The resemblance isn't surprising. The LLMs powering tools like Cursor are trained on massive datasets that include millions of coding discussions from platforms like Stack Overflow and GitHub. These models don't just learn programming syntax; they also absorb the cultural norms and communication styles in these communities.
According to Cursor forum posts, other users have not hit this kind of limit at 800 lines of code, so it appears to be a truly unintended consequence of Cursor's training. Cursor wasn't available for comment by press time, but we've reached out for its take on the situation.”

“Does "society" really exist outside of globalist lingo? When corporations and states funnel almost all resources towards their top people and organizations, are we really building anything any longer, maybe rather tearing apart all that is natural, distributed, sane and in harmony with both the outer world and the wishes of real, genuine people?”

“This newly proposed dark matter candidate would not only be lighter than existing hypothetical suspects, but it would also be self-annihilating. This means that when two particles of dark matter meet, they destroy each other and create a negatively charged electron and its positively charged equivalent, a positron.
This process and the flood of electrons and positrons would provide the energy needed to strip electrons away from neutral atoms, a process called ionization, in dense gas in the center of the Milky Way. That could explain why there is so much ionized gas in the central region called the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ).”

American patriots: Trump is a Jacksonian president.
Globalists: Trump is a mafia don.
“Note too the humiliation of subordinates. In his address to Congress, the president introduced secretary of state Marco Rubio as the man charged with taking back the Panama canal. “Good luck, Marco,” said Trump, with a chuckle. “Now we know who to blame if anything goes wrong.” Cue anxious laughter from the rest of the underlings, briefly relieved that it wasn’t them.”
