you must understand that your country is basically a uniparty that allows vigorous debate in a very zone of ideas (to paraphrase Chomsky), e.g Biden allowed the genocide to continue for as long as he was in office. Your country is basically subservient to Capital and the Israeli lobby.

The lesson to draw from Gaza is that if you become inconvenient to "the people in power" tomorrow, you would meet the exact same fate.

from a cursory (heh) reading of the cursor forum, it is clear that the participants in the chat are treating ai like the adeptus mechanicus treats the omnissiah.... the machine spirits aren't cooperating with them though.

New comment by alwahi in "Two Paths to Memory Safety: CHERI and OMA"

alwahi — Mon, 13 Oct 2025 16:13:09 +0000

" Rather than extending paged memory, OMA implements object-based memory management directly in hardware. Every allocation becomes a first-class hardware object with its own identity, bounds, and metadata maintained by the processor itself."

what is this supposed to mean? like a whole new isa + kernel + userland?
