Great idea from Canada

So here I was (this morning) watching a vlog by the famous Canadian vlogger Johny Strides. This time he was vlogging about the Do West Fest festival and he showed it on the camera, so 19 minutes into that walk I saw something I had not seen before. It might make for a good setting for Australia, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia to name only three. I think this could be a massive hit with these three and I have no ever seen this. Not on any walkthrough. 

So consider the Formula one races in Abu Dhabi in December and Boulevard Riyadh City & Boulevard World in Riyadh. We can tell people to take of themselves, or we could set 2 of these trailers at the beginning and end of these locations. Each of these trailers have 10 bottle fillers (5 per side) and 10 taps for water (also 5 per side), the information can be found (at https://www.toronto.ca/services-payments/water-environment/tap-water-in-toronto/request-an-hto-to-go-water-trailer/) where we see that these are managed by the city of Toronto, with the following settings:

  • stainless steel troughs on each side
  • 10 drinking water taps (five on each side)
  • 10 taps to fill water bottles (five on each side)
  • step stools and cups, if needed
  • water bowls for pets
  • information booth featuring Toronto Water programs and services

Now, not all these items might have appeared for the intended city council, but the idea is great and I think that both the UAE and Saudi Arabia could set this up making their tourism more and more appealing. The idea that a person could find a rehydration point that is free (I know that Dubai has many all over the city) but to add 1-2 of these trailers at events, might be the ticket for more tourists for them and it might take another turn for the businesses that might want to show their appeal, without having to go several rounds of drink stands. I have nothing against those stands, but to offer another setting is always good. So, Johnny Strides video was (at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoNajkErOgc) which should be a nice look at a festival in Toronto and his videos are always a good view on Toronto.

No matter how you slice it, Toronto (I am assuming it was their idea) has something more to offer the world and I reckon that several nations might be interested in this. 

Have a great day. I am off to see the F1 races in Monaco, I can already here the roar of the engines. Yay to YouTube for this.

Danger zone

Yes, that is the setting and it is not some song by Kenny Loggins (1986) or Tom cruise playing rocket man with his F14 Tomcat (it wasn’t his, it was property of the US defense forces). The danger zone is real and Europe just opened it up. As I saw how EU countries are now rejecting Microsoft and Google on national scales, the setting changes. I get why you reject Microsoft and to some level grudgingly accept that Google will go that same way, the need for data sovereignty is almost crystal clear, especially in this US Administration. But the danger zone comes calling. You see, Google also owns Mandiant and as it is called a premier, technology-agnostic cybersecurity firm specializing in advanced threat intelligence, incident response, and managed defense with decades of experience, it was bought by Google in 2022, as such it will fall away from the nooks and crannies of office cyberspace. As such I wonder if anyone considered rereading their contracts and the danger zone they opened themselves up to. I have no idea what Microsoft has (and I kinda don’t care) but they will have something in place and when that all falls away, the EU and its settings is opening themselves up for a lot of cyber hassle. A massive redirection will be needed to avert the dangers they are opening themselves up to. I also reckon that every Tom, Dick, Harry and Seamus with more than 2 weeks of cyber knowledge will offer themselves as ‘cyber experts’ and that is likely going to increase the tensions and threat settings for corporations all over the EU. I reckon that (allegedly) Russian and Chinese cyber threats will be running rampant over the next 20 weeks, a cyber defense setting will become unavoidable. And if the EU doesn’t act fast, the costs will go into the millions per nation. 

So even as we want to think that Google is the big evil (it really isn’t) the consequences of the CLOUD Act is one expensive hobby the United States never considered. As Europe (and soon the Commonwealth too) is deciding that their digital sovereignty is the way to go, we can see a direct implosion of the AI bubble, because as I see it, the United States has well over 4000 data centers and that much is not required for the 349 million people it has and at that point, as these data centers fall away, I reckon that the United States will drop these data centers as bad mortgages, most of them falling away because a population of one, is not much of a population to cater to in any data centre. In addition, any corporation who wants to stay in business will have to create a European business, taking revenue away from the USA to a much larger extent. They wanted a ‘cloud’ act and in 2018 they got it “The CLOUD Act (Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act) is a 2018 U.S. federal law that dictates how technology companies respond to law enforcement requests for electronic data stored across international borders” and the bit of ‘electronic data stored across international borders’ will be costing them their heads soon enough and there is no turning back that clock, confidence in the United States is gone. So, whilst we are given “U.S. authorities can legally compel U.S.-based tech companies (like Google, Microsoft, or Meta) to hand over user data and communications, regardless of whether that data is stored in the U.S. or abroad” the danger is that this will also affect Amazon and optionally Oracle too. In case of Oracle there is doubt as it is a software vendor and they do not owe any data, but their cloud corporation will take a massive hit. To that I have no doubt. You see as a US corporation, Oracle’s global cloud environments can be legally compelled to hand over data to US authorities via mechanisms like the CLOUD Act. This puts European companies using standard global Oracle infrastructure at risk of violating local privacy laws, not to mention dangers to their data sovereignty. As expressions go, this means that the United States really pickled their jars. What is clear is that I looked into a Swedish completely isolated data centre 1-2 years ago and that firm is likely making massive revenue gains, because others called them nuts for doing what they did and I reckon they are close to the only vendor in town that is not hindered by US protocols. 

An interesting phase, but the danger for cyber security remains. And Microsoft? They are about to lose the bulk of 451 million customers, so their footing is about to get shaky and for the cyber settings, whomever (non American) comes with a decent package will make a killing in Europe. I wonder who will fill that option? 

What a nice setting to come to, so any gamer who wants to have his own No Man’s Sky universe with the data storage to keep a nation of gamers happy, it is likely that the USA will have some places for sale soon enough. Have a great day all.

Settings

Perhaps you saw the move, perhaps not, but the introduction towards the sequel of 300 gives us:

“Xerxes was reborn a god, Artemisia trusted no one. Under the cover of night the palace was cleansed of all Xerxes allies. And as the god king stood before his people, Artemisia watched her  flawless manipulation take shape and we hear “For glories sake, for vengeance sake…..WAR””

That was the feeling I had when I saw the World Socialist Web Site (at https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2026/06/05/ukra-j05.html) giving us ‘NATO and Ukraine escalate war against Russia’, they did not escalate anything, they merely responded to the aggression of Russia and there is serious doubt on what NATO has done. It merely relies itself for the larger danger it find itself in, because one of it ‘allies’ is mad as a hatter (as some say he is). So we are given “On Wednesday, Ukraine launched drone attacks in St. Petersburg, Russia’s second-largest city. Black clouds of smoke rose over the St. Petersburg Oil Terminal as the International Economic Forum opened in the city. According to reports, the Kronstadt naval base and other military targets were also attacked. The attack is part of a series of evermore and far-reaching Ukrainian drone and missile strikes on Russian energy facilities, airfields, arms factories, command centers and military infrastructure—some of them hundreds of kilometers behind the front. Ukraine is not carrying out these attacks alone. They are politically covered, militarily enabled, technologically supported and strategically coordinated by the NATO powers, particularly Germany.” We all saw the impact right in the middle of the economic forum happening. Russia got a Melvin, right in the middle of the presentation of how great they seemingly are. As for the setting of “particularly German”, what evidence is there? 

It is possible to use a truckload of wood and pack it so that you can hide a dozen drones and what is more ‘suspicious’ then a truckload of wood being shipped to Helsinki optionally on a boat, or one that closely goes there (like Stockholm). 

See here a simple smuggle option and up to two dozen ones will not get noticed in a 40” container and as such the Ukraine could single handedly stir up an economic forum and perhaps blow up oil reserves and perhaps even the Hermitage. And consider that messing up the Hermitage (the outside) would carry images into the larger USSR (aka Russia) to no delay, because that is global news. President Putin would be put on the spot in front of his own people. So, yes Russia is worried to a much larger degree than it ever was. So when we get “When Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was received with military honors in Berlin in mid-April, the two governments signed a “strategic partnership” that codifies a deepening of war cooperation.” What really happened was that on April 14th we were given “Germany and Ukraine will strengthen cooperation in the air defence field, jointly working to increase German and Ukrainian air defence system and missile manufacturing and development. In particular, we will focus efforts on accelerating the development of anti-ballistic missile air defence.” (Source: www.bundesregierung.de) as such it should not be seen as a “deepening of war cooperation”, but a larger cooperation towards stopping Russian aggression. So as this is a technological deal, a so called business deal. How is NATO involved in this? I am not saying that there are no NATO worries, but the article reads like a fictive assault from NATO, hence the 300: Rise of an Empire reference. But that is only the beginning. After years of launching attacks, Russia is now in a stage that it cannot hide the wrongs they did and the world is seeing that. I reckon that even the Russian population is sickened by their own children set upon a war they could have avoided and they still could have the 1,370,890 Russian citizens they currently no longer have. As well as a few other items

We can go on all day about this site, but it makes me noxious, the issue is that the Iranian setting is taking the light away from these clowns and whatever this (they call themself an independent socialist movement of the international working class), but here is the kicker. The international working class is not overly happy about the ordering of women, children, hospitals and churches. The total cost of reconstruction and recovery in Ukraine over the next decade will be U.S. $524 billion as I personally see it, Russia needs to surrender 95% of its oil winnings for the next decade to get it all fixed up again and when the 146 million Russians realise what they are in for, there will be an unusually large reshuffle in the Kremlin. It failed its citizens close to 100%, well perhaps only 99%, the remaining 1,370,890 are now no longer part of Russia. Personally I don’t care too much about politics. For the most they are windbags (especially in Chicago where that expression comes from) and most of them are in it for themselves. But I feel that it is important to attack these ‘relabel’ efforts, to make them see that it is not some game, people died (in case of Russia 1,370,890) and the clashes of ‘swords’ inclining that it is NATO and Ukrainian aggression, so as we were given on On December 9th 2021 President Putin said that “Russophobia is a first step towards genocide”, we need to realise tat President Putin started this genocide himself and created Russophobia. You could ask the 1,370,890 Russians, but they might no longer respond. So whilst Politico now gives us ‘NATO prepares a Baltic fortress to head off Putin’ new can only wonder how the WSWS will be labeling this as ‘NATO aggression’ we can only hope that there are enough people to reject what the WSWS is telling us all and there is a stage that w could all reject what socialism is, but that is equally wrong, in the end socialism is “Socialism is an economic and political philosophy encompassing diverse economic and social systems characterised by social ownership of the means of production, as opposed to private ownership. It describes the economic, political, and social theories and movements associated with the implementation of such systems.” It is not evil, the wielders hiding behind the relabeling sequence are basically delusional, that is merely my point of view and those socialists will be telling the world that I am the evil one. But I never objected socialism, or for a lack of a better term ‘clean socialism’ When people are seeking the need for relabelling to hide the murder of a nation, destroying what they freely stood for (even a president who played Paddington bear) these people have a problem and seeing that is the first step in avoiding these labels. It might be the wrong take on a situation, but I never claimed to be particularly wise, even clever people can be dumb at times. But it merely rubs me the wrong way the story that the WSWS is claiming to inform us about and it is time that we make sure that we are given the right data, the right settings and the larger fear within me is that these WSWS ‘clowns’ will hide behind fake AI (as all AI is fake AI) to utter the support from the stupid people, because they are too easily swayed, populism showed us that evidence for at least a decade.

Have a great day, of and I made some strides in yesterdays IP called Worship, more to come soon.

Kettle calling chopstick black

That is the setting and it is given to us by the BBC (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cq6peqrnzpro) where we see ‘MI5 warns Chinese spies using job websites to target government staff’, as I see it, it is time to go into Monty Python mode with ‘Howls of deriving laughter’. You see NSA, MI5, MI6, DGES and I suspect the BND have been doing the very same thing for over 30 years. They sugarcoated it through certain captains of industry to ‘offer’ interesting jobs and then after additional vetting, they gave these people a second income and until 2010 that was a safe trip, but as I see it President Trump put his oversized clown shoes in that setting messing things up. In addition the Western economy took a nose dive. So the previous settings do not hold water and the NSA is confronted with ICE, MAGA and Karen’, so their job is a little harder still. The article gives us “In a joint warning issued in a bulletin by the Five Eyes alliance, made up of UK, US, Australia, Canada and New Zealand agencies, it warned undercover operatives are using legitimate sites including LinkedIn, Indeed and Upwork to advertise fake analyst jobs. Applicants are then pressurised into revealing “non-public” information which can be used by the Chinese military intelligence service.” And there are two elements missing from all that. The first is that there is little need for pressurization, the second one is that places like LinkedIn seems to have cornered the stage where industrials have been for some time Ghosting job applicants, or putting fake jobs out there. So, in comes Huawei or Tencent offering optional jobs? These applicants are suddenly roaring with intent to do well. So I don’t think ‘pressure’ is needed. 

Then we get a few other settings. As I (optionally delusional) see it, Sergey the Oogly Googly Googler Brin with his two hundred and fifty thousand millions owes me $3M (post taxation) and yes, it is delusional, because as I see it, Google uses my written words to train its Fake AI called Gemini. And I am super pro Google, but as I see it all AI is fake. True AI doesn’t exist yet (not for at least a decade) and I gave several articles pointing that out. Someone said that (about two months ago) that per article this amounts to $1.5 million and over 5000 transgressions on my articles sets the ‘expected’ (and optionally delusional) stage that I am due at least $3,000,000 post taxation. I’m not claiming that I have any right to his fortune, merely to what might optionally be mine. Make of it what you will. And there is more. Australia housing is rubbing people the wrong way (not intentionally) there is housing crises and people cannot afford anything. Some are identified as refusing an allocated twice, whilst the second event was that they were in heart surgery. How is that fair? Then we get the stage where in Australia we hear about experience underpayment or are denied mandatory leave. So in this setting and I reckon the same setting is seen in the United Kingdom people are willing to listen to job offers from Tencent and Huawei (China), Aramco (Saudi Arabia) and ADNOC (UAE) and these people are seriously looking for talent and the latter part is mostly Australia and the United States, but after all the bad news people are seeing, China now has a real option to put pressure on the workforces in the west and there is need for these skills. So whilst we see that jobs are los to AI (which is utter bogus) the reality is that bosses keep friends and their friends employed because the budgets are dwindling and they need people to sit in that same place so that they are safe and that is how an entire workforce is valued out of a job and these people are often the true innovators. Not their bosses or the friends that they have. They are in it for themselves and it is seen all over the workforce in a near global setting. So there are more people willing to listen to the people who are actually talking to them. 

That is the reality of theater and it affects the work sphere of places like MI5. But GCHQ was on this workhorse for over 30 years, so turnabout is almost fair game (MI5 will not see it that way). This situation isn’t merely UK, it is the United States and the entire Commonwealth to a larger extent. I have no idea how it affects India, because they have the most skewed workforce on the planet, but I reckon they are in a similar spot, especially the learned DML workforce. But didn’t they see this coming? Especially the United States. 

So whilst the workforce in nations is seeing raw deals and unfair treatments, these workers are willing to listen to anyone giving them a fair shake. So whilst the BBC emphasizes on “UK will not tolerate Chinese spying, minister says after MI5 alert” we get that this is a truth, but the UK has been doing this for decades and now that the UK (others too) are vulnerable the danger is a lot more real than it was pre 2010. So whilst we see “Workers who could be targeted range from security clearance holders to academics and think tank employees, it warned.” The danger is a lot more real as the captains of industry have been sidelining their aging workforce as being too expensive and that is where the knowledge is and when these people are gone to other shores the brain-drain sets in in a most unexpected way. And these sidelines people are no longer to be the willing assistant of some young upstart who had the inside track because he had the diploma that sounded awesome. A diploma without experience is merely someone holding a printed piece of paper, not the knowhow that a company needs to make the revenue real. 

So that is my bit on the matter and would I, considering what Huawei, Aramco or ADNOC could offer me? Most definitely. When you realize that being valued is good for the soul, the soul will seek sunny shores. It always does. We have learned the hard way that companies no longer rewards loyalty, not for over a decade, so the older workforce is looking towards places that allows them to be valued for a little while longer. So whilst we see that the tea kettle is calling the chopsticks black, realise that the kettle started it all in the early 90s.

Have a great day today, optionally valued too.

The brain jostles

That happens, in my mind there is an eternal struggle for dominance (not in a bad way) but the back of the mind saw something and it is trying to work it out, whilst me, myself and I are also in need of that grey matter. The back of the mind saw a DARPA challenge of ‘Triage Challenge (DTC)’ with the subtext “Transforming how medical responders triage in mass casualty incidents by advancing scalable, timely, and accurate tools.” But the brain (mr Grey) saw that the bottlenecks is not a setting of operation, it is one of adherence. It doesn’t make sense. But consider that a nation has 15 million people and they all trusted Microsoft (there’s a thought) , but as they trusted AI (for whatever reason) and now we have 15 million unresponsive people. So, Mr Grey decided that the setting is not that you need to get to people, you need a solution that can be deployed at any place in that nation and from there the settings come calling. So Mr. Grey decided to employ a call centre and treat every person like it is part of a call centre. Confused? I thought you were, I was too. But consider that you have two stacks one with medical personnel and one not. The call centre setting makes every doctor important and that is the call. So whilst you have a doze doctors making calls and only a higher doctor can overrule a lower doctor, but then you get a new call centre where the pool comes from Nurses-Doctors-specialists and you refrain from bottlenecks you get a new kind of triage. So stop getting a dozen beds because you only have a dozen doctors, you get 60 beds because all the medical staff can determine casualties and disregard initial low calls, these low calls are not dismissed, but the pressure to get the important casualties are not restricted to these 12 beds. What does happen is that this call centre approach needs to work differently and that takes a logistical side, A new medical call centre approach so whilst we are given that there is a new consideration. So out of hand, consider that a hospital has a dozen forms, but instead of dispersing these forms, each doctor has all the forms, they are collecting an storing information and they print out a QCode, which has all the information and is attached to the person (like a Pandora chain on the wrist) and when there is more than one QCode charm, higher people look at this what might be required. And as this is all read on the spot, all whilst the tablets read and collect everything now, the equation changes. This allows for mass collection and triage abilities to move forward. It requires a great deal of discipline, but those in triage tend to have an abundance of those, but as I see it, triage tends to rot; l with the punch and the overlay of suddenly thousands of people needing access to triage makes for a weird situation, as such my brain works out in seconds that this requires a different approach, so whilst some need more nurses, we get the setting that 50 nurses record what needs to be and every doctor has its own nurse making judgement calls on people part of this was seen in Pearl Harbor (the movie) and they worked with what they had, but now we have and can deploy QCodes in seconds, so the track of the bottle neck changes and as these QCodes are deployed, people can be moved to a better site for treatment rather quickly. From there we get. New setting that power is less of an urgency and if these tablets have replaceable batteries, the downtime becomes very low and these batteries can be charged in a hospital and one box could contain 50 batteries, resetting the bulk of all tablets in seconds and DML allows for a much faster deployment of forms and most technology is already there to scan these forms and make them digital. No we merely need to traverse this setting to a QCode answer and the triage setting is near complete. You might have to add forms as one setting (like Pearl harbour) is not the same as another (Esso Chemical Rotterdam), they all have there own settings, but burn forms, respiratory forms and blood form have a near global setting, Doctors tend to have the same global talk and their writings all lead to a free ticket to a museum (small joke). So that was what Mr. Grey figured out in less then a minute. 

I was still in play mode and whilst I am not surprised that Sony tends to overwhelm any person who enjoys gaming, I still was blown away with what Sony produced in its state of play. You see I like racing of a kind and perhaps I was a little attached to the settings that Sony gave us with Grand Turismo (1-4) and Need for Speed underground (GameCube) or Project Gotham Racing (Xbox360), but today Sony blow the cover out of all of them with Stuntman Hollywood. A racing challenge with a difference. It looks good, but will it play awesome? Time will tell, but I didn’t see that one coming, so I got my wow factor. And as icing on the cake there was God of War Laufey, new character, new gameplay and new graphics. Everything a growing player needs for his or her diet. Still as I got the joules from my grey cells, mr Grey decided to consider a few more options in the situation he obviously is seeing as resolved. The QCodes go on a chain and the chain is also a data carrier and goes around the neck of the patient. The qcodes are added to that chain, but as I see it, the chain copies all the qcodes that are added and that chain might also collect physical setting, like an elongated smart ring. And it can all connect to the tablet of the doctor who is then getting additional knowledge and give the chain a code that gives it a colour. All setting a new conditional setting to triage and when triage is given in a remote location it merely enhances the information the doctor has access to. Where the qcode was added, where the person has been and from there we get a new kind of triage, because triage comes from the 1700s by Baron Dominique-Jean Larrey, the chief surgeon for Napoleon’s army. He started to sort the wounded, but we now have sort abilities that do not need a doctor, a nurse might do and even then there are some parts that need no medical staff, it merely needs to be recorded (hence the smart chain) and as the QCodes are added, the picture becomes more and more complete. Some need to get more tests, but if you consider that the goal is to reduce the severity of the wounded, we could walk a different path, a new path, not disregarding what we have, but what we can do. And battlefield triage is a lot dependent on what there is. So if we can find the category 1 people and reduce these to level 2, we are already winning. So consider we have:

Level 1: Resuscitation (Immediate)
Level 2: Emergency (<10 minutes)
Level 3: Urgent (<30 minutes)
Level 4: Semi-Urgent (<60 minutes)
Level 5: Non-Urgent (<120 minutes)

And from there we get to save them all (just like a Pokemon game), so the smart chain and the QCodes could enable that path, all whilst the doctors look at treating the level 2’s whilst looking for the level 1’s, a setting that comes through new logistics and automation (I refuse to call it AI), because DML will help here, will it be enough? That is for a doctor to decide. 

My ego is happy that I met another challenge by DARPA and one that is good for the medical sector, my ego is doing just fine. I wonder what my brain will mostly for tomorrow, time to get some steps in. Have a great day all.

Defeated by the timeline

That is how I saw it, but the is me. So I will introduce you to just that setting below.

10 hours ago: ‘Trump needs this war to end but Iran is not backing down’ (source: BBC, https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cedp3lee059o) where we see “The United States and Iran have both signalled that they would prefer not to go back to the war that has been on hold since the ceasefire was announced on 8 April. Neither side has allowed the steady drumbeat of military exchanges between them to end the talks being mediated by Pakistan, Qatar and others. The US still has powerful naval and air forces within striking distance of Iran. It is safe to assume that the Iranian regime will have kept its forces on high alert and will be using the ceasefire to re-organise and repair damage done by the US and Israel.” It comes with the additional “Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not worry if his renewed offensive in Lebanon makes an American deal with Iran harder to get. He didn’t want the ceasefire with the Tehran regime in the first place. As far as he’s concerned, any deal between America and Iran is a bad deal.”

6 hours ago: ‘Trump had no plan B for Iran. It shows’ (source The Guardian, https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jun/01/trump-iran-war-plan) They give us “Donald Trump claims to have mastered the Art of the Deal, but he has just given us a master class in negotiating incompetence. I would love to see an Iranian government that no longer represses its people, menaces its neighbors, or can build a nuclear weapon. Trump has set back all of these efforts. His cabinet of sycophants offered little resistance as he naively bombed first and faced reality later.” A bit harsh, but I can live with that text of a more personal nature. It is the outspoken right of Kenneth Roth to take that tone of voice. It comes with the additional “Trump’s repudiation of the JCPOA removed these limits. That enabled Iran to produce nearly half a tonne of highly enriched uranium at a purity of 60%. That is a short hop from the enrichment needed for a bomb. Trump is now back at square one. He is trying to persuade Iran again to limit its enrichment program and to export or dilute its enriched uranium – in other words, to do what it agreed to do with Obama. That was the subject of negotiations in February of this year, but Trump abruptly ended those talks in favor of war.” As such we are off to the races, merely two more sources to go through and then I’ll add my own stories. 

4 hours ago ‘Tehran suspends talks with U.S. over Israeli attacks in Lebanon, Iranian media reports’ (source NBC News, https://www.nbcnews.com/world/iran/iran-suspends-talks-us-israel-attacks-lebanon-rcna347865) this comes with the byline “Trump later posted that after discussions with Israel and representatives from Hezbollah about easing tensions, talks between the U.S. and Iran were back on “at a rapid pace.”” As well as “Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf told Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri on Monday that Iran might retaliate if Israeli attacks in Lebanon continue. “Over the past two days, we have seriously pursued efforts to stop Israel’s attacks. If these crimes continue, we will not only suspend the negotiation process, but we will also stand against the Zionist regime,” Ghalibaf said, according to the state-owned Islamic Republic News Agency. “If an agreement is reached to end the war between Iran and the United States, it will include a halt to attacks on all fronts, especially in Lebanon.”” Which is followed by ““I had a conversation with Bibi Netanyahu today, asking him not to go into a major raid of Beirut, Lebanon. He turned his Troops around. Thank you Bibi!” he wrote. “I also had a conversation with Representatives of the Leaders of Hezbollah, and they agreed to stop shooting at Israel, and its soldiers. Likewise, Israel agreed to stop shooting at them. Let’s see how long that lasts — Hopefully it will be for ETERNITY!” The Lebanese Embassy in Washington noted in a statement Wednesday afternoon that Hezbollah had accepted the terms of a U.S. proposal “for a mutual cessation of attacks.”” As well as “Ebrahim Azizi, the head of the Iranian Parliament’s national security commission, said on X that continued attacks in Lebanon could lead to a military response from Iran. “If the attacks against Lebanon do not stop completely, the consequences will be severe for the Zionist regime and U.S. forces in the region,” Azizi wrote. “They are fully aware that this is not an empty threat, and we are prepared for a military response.”” I would say, so far, so good. But that is not what is at stake, not when you see the timeline. Now we need to understand that these sources are on ‘tight’ deadlines, so they will report on what is the moment they get that and optionally there is a time slips. But that much? I fail to see how that could happen and let us assume that these sources speak their optional truths. If there is one source that requires doubt, it is for the lack of a better turn ‘yours truly’ who is blogging here, but that was the timelines as I saw it, so now the last one.

2 hours ago ‘Trump Says U.S., Iran Close to Deal’ (source: Arms Control Association, https://www.armscontrol.org/act/2026-06/news/trump-says-us-iran-close-deal) it starts with “U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the United States and Iran are close to reaching a peace agreement, but Iranian officials cautioned that a deal is not imminent. Even if an agreement is reached, Washington and Tehran said it will not address nuclear issues in detail and that more negotiations will be necessary.” Ehhh, isn’t that why they “we’re bombing Iran back to the stone age?” As well as “The previous week, Trump threatened to resume strikes but said he would hold off at the behest of states in the region. The leaders of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates asked the United States “to hold off on our planned Military attack” against Iran set for the next day because “serious negotiations are now taking place,” Trump wrote May 18 on Truth Social. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei concurred that progress was made, but disputed Trump’s assertion that a deal would be announced soon. “We have reached conclusions on a large portion of the issues, but no one can claim that the signing of an agreement is imminent,” he told Iranian state media May 25.” Which finally amount to “In a May 25 statement, Central Command spokesman Capt. Tim Hawkins said the United States acted with “restraint” and targeted “missile launch sites and Iranian boats attempting to emplace mines” that threatened U.S. forces. In a May 26 statement, Iran’s Foreign Ministry said that the United States “committed a grave violation of the ceasefire.” These “acts of aggression, coinciding with the ongoing diplomatic process mediated by Pakistan, once again exposes the ill intent and bad faith of the U.S. ruling establishment,” the statement said. “Iran will not leave any act of hostility unanswered.””

When you read through this timeline, you might get the following items (or you might not). 

This is one of the worst battle encounters the United States ever got themselves into and after Vietnam that is saying something.  Whether this is a lack of any plan B, C or D, or it is the impact of what some call a “A retreating tank attack, or a tactical withdrawal under fire” scenario against Iran is anyones call. The second stage is what tank commanders instigate, so perhaps I am using the wrong tactical phrase here. It is anyones guess which part and by what team is truthful, but as we all see it, Iran has no will and no reason to talk peace at this point. They have the united Stated by the short and hairy (as the expression goes) and I am personally thinking that it is about to become Iran’s play to introduce the one card they kept out of the field. The China card, when that is played now and China comes as the big release to the Gulf states, the United States is dangling by whatever they can dangle by and the are out of the game in the Gulf States. That is what I see and I might be entirely wrong. But as I see it, over the last 12 hours the United States has been playing the cards that Iran handed out and they have at least one move left to make, is it the China card or is more coming? 

So, now my cards, on March 10th I wrote ‘With Ice please’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/03/10/with-ice-please/) where I opted to largely destroy (make useless) the Iranian railway systems. It was based on a French setting in WW2 and I knew about it as The Train (1964) with Burt Lancaster is one of my favourite war movies. I gave it a 20th century ploy by creating IP that attacked the rails on its weak point, the rail clippings and a train running on a non attached rail gets dislodged rather quickly and a derailed oil train could set things back months. It also stops cargo getting from where it was to where it needed to be and it requires little to do this, perhaps a few million at best, not billions what the United States claimed it spend. It came 2 days after I gave them ‘Ones creative process’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/03/08/ones-creative-process/) which was based on a 2019 idea on stopping Iran. With blocked harbours Iran becomes the isolated party others needed it to be and I gave this IP to the UAE and to Saudi Arabia, as they faced the brunt of the unwanted attacks (the UAE a lot more than Saudi Arabia) but Saudi Arabia was under attack for some time through Houthi terrorists and I though it was only fair that they get to destroy Iranian infrastructure because of what Aramco faced through Iranian (stated to be Houthi forces) yet no one seemingly saw that Houthi forces did not have the skills or the equipment to attack Aramco 17 times with high precision and I thought it was only fair that people put their money where their mouths were and as such I handed that IP to the UAE and Saudi Arabia. 

So in the last 15 hours I have shown more tactical insight than the Pentagon had and optionally more innovation than DARPA showed to have (the last might be my delusion of my own). But as I see it, the United States has now been defeated by its own timeline. And after the statement that President Donald Trump first stated that Iran had been defeated on March 7th, 2026 the timeline is almost essential to show that this is a optional war (the United States never claimed to have made war) that the United States has seemingly lost. I reckon that the next step (after China is introduced) that Iran will file for reparations with the international courts of Justice. I don’t think that this will go anywhere but this is the first setting where the Iranian top brass can keep its head seemingly high into The Hague. Whether that comes is anyones guess and it is highly dependent on whether proxy war sources can be pulled into court, because that is what the opponents of Iran need to do, especially Israel. They have the bad setting that they might have actually killed all the Hamas and Hezbollah sources they now need to depend on to show the malice of Iran in all this. And I have no doubt that Iran has shown nothing but Malice in all this, but that is not what matters in court. It is what you can prove and that is up for debate at this point. 

Have a great day.

The new short is coming

Saw there articles today, which gives me the willies. The people are that dumb to believe this? But to give you the goods, lets strata the beginning. The first one was CNBC giving us (at https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/28/anthropic-open-ai-startup-value.html) where we see ‘Anthropic tops OpenAI as most valuable AI startup, nears $1 trillion valuation in latest round’ it is here that we are given “The newest round was led by Altimeter Capital, Dragoneer, Greenoaks and Sequoia Capital, and almost triples Anthropic’s valuation from February, when it was worth $380 billion. The financing also includes $15 billion of previously committed investments, including $5 billion from Amazon, the company said. Anthropic’s biggest competitor OpenAI was valued at $852 billion in late March after closing a record-breaking $122 billion funding round.” But these people need to give us the why, so we are given ““Claude is increasingly indispensable to our growing global community of customers, and we work tirelessly to make tools like Claude Code and Cowork more helpful, more powerful, and more adaptable to their needs,” Anthropic Chief Financial Officer Krishna Rao said in Thursday’s press release. “This funding will help us serve the historic demand we are experiencing, stay at the research frontier, and bring Claude to more of the places where work happens.” Anthropic’s latest round comes as the leading AI model makers prepare to go public.” So, after this introduction into this blatant presentation, it is time for TechTalk to give us (at https://www.techtimes.com/articles/317467/20260531/samsung-hbm4e-ships-first-record-756-profit-surge-triggers-analyst-upgrades-ai-memory-lead.htm) where we are headed off with ‘Samsung HBM4E Ships First: Record 756% Profit Surge Triggers Analyst Upgrades on AI Memory Lead’, so all this fake AI has been going around for some time and I reckon that there is a misrepresentation with the 756% profit surge. So if my feelings are right, we need to look at the story and it is here that we are given “Samsung Electronics began shipping the world’s first 12-layer high-bandwidth memory 4 Extended (HBM4E) samples to major global customers on Friday, May 29, 2026 — putting the South Korean chipmaker at least six months ahead of rivals SK Hynix and Micron in the race to supply next-generation AI accelerators, and triggering a wave of analyst upgrades that pushed Samsung’s market capitalization past 2,000 trillion won for the first time in history. The milestone arrived just three months after Samsung began mass-producing its predecessor chip, HBM4, and came on the same day Samsung shares surged 5.84% to close at 317,000 won.” And here my gut feeling is satisfied. So can anyone give me how a 756% profit surge validates a mere 5.84%? Something does not add up. It doesn’t matter that Samsung is bigger than this, a 756% profit surge should validate more than an almost 6% surge. Some people are playing with your senses. 

So before I get to the third article. A little lesson. It is not the lesson you like and it isn’t even the lesson you will appreciate, but here goes. All AI is fake. There I not exception to this no matter what dance mr Oldman gives on stage, his ChatGPT was surpassed by Gemini and Anthropic some time ago and there is no guarantee that this will go his way. Google Gemini (and I love Google) is just as bit as fake as the others. Then we get all the others, all fake. Why? The stage is that all these are driven by DML/LLM and they are strong and good engine, they just aren’t AI. AI requires a few more components, some are ready but still in their early stages (like Quantum computing) then there is the need for Shallow circuits and I only know that IBM has come far in this field and they are working on this 10 years ago, are they ready? I guess not, because the media would be full of that if it were, but the are advancing and then there is the Epsilon chip. We have seen the theory, we have seen the evidence (some have seen this), but it does not yet exist in a chip, not yet and I have no idea when that will happen. So then we get the Trinary operating system, that is the last part. I particle think that IBM and Oracle are quietly working on this, but that is a gut feeling, all these parts combined are still 15 years away (my speculative feel). Oh, and in none of this Microsoft turns up, because it might take longer then. So this is what I know through the settings of decades of IT work and a decade of writing. But it matters, because now we get MSN with Larry Fink giving us (at https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/savingandinvesting/larry-fink-says-pensions-will-help-fund-10t-ai-buildout/ss-AA24sE6Z?ocid=finance-verthp-feeds) that ‘Larry Fink says pensions will help fund $10T AI buildout’, so whilst all your retirements are set into this bubble, this fictive bubble, better be rare that this last story was “Curated by AI” a mere 20 hours ago. I reckon that no one at MSN wants to put his or her name under this setting. We are given “Fink estimates $10 trillion will be needed for AI infrastructure by 2036, with $7 trillion for data centers alone.” And in addition we are given “Index fund-heavy retirement accounts are increasingly concentrated in AI-focused tech giants leading the spending.” And it comes with the warning that “Experts warn that overexposure to one sector could threaten retirement security if AI growth stalls.” In short, we are being set up. As I see it, over exposure would lead to the end of our pensions when the bubble of fake AI comes calling and even this late, at 64 when you see your pensions being squandered by hot headed job chasers claiming AI is this, or is that and we do not see a clear ROI, you know somethings up. This feels like the movie the Big Short, a 2015 American biographical comedy drama film directed by Adam McKay from a screenplay by McKay and Charles Randolph. Based on the 2010 book by Michael Lewis, it depicts how the 2008 financial crisis was triggered by the United States housing bubble. This is how it went everyone comes with the setting ‘you have to be in it to win’ and they are all gambling like it is some Texas holder game whilst they all have a version of a beer hand (7-2 offsuit) and they want to continue their rounds of gambling, hoping that the other players will fold, but they are all in it to over their necks, so they are all desperate. This is how I see it and when you get the numbers, especially on proven ROI, you will see that filling this 10 trillion gap with pensions is folly. I intend to call my pension that AI investments are off limits. I would rather put it in ADNOC or IHC. Three stories that make my blood grow thick in fear, they are now pushing the safety boundaries for millions of people and I am worried that no one is speaking up, it is that kind of a day and still there are no options for me, so I am beyond caring. 

Try to have a great day and try to keep your pension safe.

Lectionem disponens

Yes, that was the setting I gave you yesterday and in good standing I used the absolute worst application of latin you see here. (Planking the read), which roughly (really roughly) translate to a ‘reading plank’. I know I have a seriously warped sense of humor. You see it was important to do this in latin, because other languages have 10 of thousands of words. In Latin the idea is a little far fetched, but still applicable. 

So as such I got these 20 words to start of with:

Aqua (water) Asini (donkey) Aquilla (eagle) Pratus (meadow)
Triticum (wheat) Equos (horse) Columba (pigeon) Virgo (maiden)
Solum (soil) Currus (chariot) Cervus (stag) Sarcedos (priest)
Germana (sister) Via (road) Serpens (snake) Templum (temple)
Germanus (brother) Fluvius (river) Aper (boar) Vinum (wine)

So from there I started to think, these reading planks are static, the internet is not, so the idea came to me to upgrade the plank to the next level. When you get 100% on these words the plank will ‘upgrade’ to the next level, but it will not happen too soon. You see, the plank is also a gateway to lessons. A lesson on family (brother/sister) a lesson on animals (donkey/horse) a lesson on priest and temples and so on, only when you passed them all you get the next level of a reading plank. There will be a lesson on the hunt (boar/stag), lessons on transportation (horses/chariots) and this is another way to learn language, but as I see it, the approach will translate to Italian, Spanish, French and German in almost the same way, as I see it, the setting is almost transferable, not completely though, because the scenery will be different and the changes will be seen almost all over. The idea to have the plank and stick the work (which are on parchment) on this. As I see it, there are two ways to get into the Latin game and both are open. The first is a ‘poor’ serf who becomes a serf serving a priest in Rome (AC Brotherhood) 

As you see, it is only part of the map, it includes the Vatican and part of Rome. As a Papal guard you can enter the Vatican and you get a dwelling on Vatican island. As a serf you get a room in the church of the priest you serve and over time you will be allowed and required to enter Vatican island. Both will introduce you to etiquette and interactions with people both are different in the interactions whilst the priests will interact with the guards, as a serf you can only do the bidding of the priest and the jobs given. You can still interact with the people in Rome. As I see it a rather large linguistic challenge awaits you and the setting is almost the same for Italian, although you are nearly always housed in Rome, but as you gain experience and become adequate in Italian, you could meet and interact with people on Vatican Island, but the priests and cardinals there will only address you in Latin (unless you are given a job to do something in the Vatican).You think this is shallow, but etiquette mattered in those days and don’t think you can throw your weight around. The papal guards are not the nicest people to be rude to and at that moment you get a time out from the game and you are given clear instructions (in your dwelling) and you get to practice there for about an hour to get you more proficient in Italian and manners. 

This is merely your the beginning of what comes the way of the linguistically student. You see, it is not enough to merely learn the language, you will be pushed to get a feel for the language, something you could never get being the Apfelkorn jerk in Cortina d’Ampezzo. But as I see it, this is the way that could also be used to teach English and that too has two versions (and you would get both versions) the ‘proper’ way from AC Syndicate giving you class lessons and well (Whitechapel, The Strand, The Thames, The City of London and Westminster) and you get to learn the language skills and the etiquette as was custom in Victorian England. Modern day England is in Watchdogs Legion around Big Ben. French is in Paris (AC Unity) and Arabic/Farsi is in AC Mirage and Japanese/Portuguese is in AC Shadows. The materials are largely done (by Ubisoft) they merely need to reset the maps to the language areas and add the vocal part, the games and the tutelage parts. As I said, Ubisoft starts with a 75% program, 

I wonder which languages AC Hexe adds to the equation, I think it was German. Whatever you might think is valid but I wonder if Ubisoft had any idea what more was possible on products they had already finished. And that is before you consider how engaging the language becomes when this is paired with a meta quest visor.

Have a great day

The setting of the engineer

That is where I am at present. I have been knowing my brain around on designing games that can be used for reaching linguistic skills, but with a difference. As such I have been focusing on Latin, which was one of the languages that this solution would traverse, then from these we get to Italian and considering that people like Gaius Marius created the Italian army. There is a thought to create a few games (heavily based on MB games) to aid in the setting of this. So here I was (here I still am) converting the 1975 Tank Battle into a game with Chariots, the game play is almost the same and whilst they have no flags on the tanks they could gain a archer when they get tot he end. And the game is played by instructing (in latin) to move a chariot and as such you get linguistic training. Then we get to ‘Conquest of the Empire’ which is now called ‘securing the empire’ where we get to play a tactical game. These additions put the gamer in a linguistic mode, they will breath late in no time and no matter how limited this is and there were more games, Dice games were massively popular, so introducing them would aid this. Then there was a Dutch invention called ‘Leesplankje’ a Dutch 19th century invention that could aid here (and in other language models)

And the setting would be to use Latin phrases to aid in pronouncing certain Latin words. The idea is that these games would also be used to propel French, English, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Arabic and a few other languages. So even as the setting is based on other stages, the games could be introduced simultaneously, So here I am considering what games to add to that setting. So there is no need to add certain games, but several might be used in a different way. 

Legality
Legality is on the forefront of my mind because this is based on IP that is not mine. I feel decently secure that a game like Tank Battle has its IP protection shedded as they are unlikely to continue the legal protections, there is however the foundational protection a game designer has and the question becomes how much do you need to change a game for it to no longer to have certain levels and it might not be seen as illegal. Making a 10 by 10 field into a 15 by 15 field and making tanks Chariots might be enough, but I am not certain. Also it is a game within a game/simulation. I reckon the law was not ready for that, because there is no physical version (yet) but that is a worry for another day and for now I say ‘currum unum promove’ and ‘Da huic currui sagittarium’ and worry about tomorrow things tomorrow, because first the idea is to advance certain settings and create the elements to give this beast mass and power, because that is what makes great IP in the end. The idea is nice and essential, but when it remains and idea that is the foundation of it, when we add substance to the idea it means we seemingly worked out certain settings and it pays me too, because my mind can concoct all the things in the universe, but I have seen time and time again that I can move at speeds that most quantum computers see as madness (caressing my ego here). Still the setting when completed will be decent and the idea is not to replace language teachers, but it is to offer these services to millions of people that are out of reach of such teachers and there is a rather nice stage that these teachers will embrace that setting to educate more students in languages than currently is possible and quite soon is no longer possible, because that is also the impact of global recessions. So whilst we get sources like ABC News claiming that “The global economy is currently avoiding a worldwide recession”, but the thought has become “is it though?” Because there are too many elements in play and something has to give and education is the usual first victim in an economical war and it will be trivialized through “We are keeping our finger on the pulse and there is going to be an adjustment soon” but they are talking in styles that is leaving at least one generation partially uneducated on a near global stage. And I saw this at least 2-3 years ago, because this setting of languages was seen be me at least that long ago and I saw the business sense that a player like Ubisoft could employ, they had at least 75% ready before they ever started and that is a nice setting for a software solution maker, because that is what this will become. I think I have worked on this from 2025 onwards, but the idea to advance certain matters to all languages is decently new. 

Anyway, as we are told (13 minutes ago by the Guardian) that ‘Trump claims to be on verge of approving peace deal with major Iranian concessions’ I wonder how this was possible whilst we heard on March 15th 2026 that “Militarily, “we’ve essentially defeated Iran,” though he stopped just short of an official final victory declaration because he maintained the U.S. was still involved in delicate diplomatic talks”, yes, tell me another one. But all this is hitting the United States economically and even though it is only impacting 70 million students, the fact that the US debt surpasses their GDP is setting a strong need for a software solution and optionally not claiming a fake AI field and this is the benefit that Ubisoft could wield because there is a certain amount of certainty that the business branch of the world might not see an uneducated workforce as beneficial to them and for others to see a solution that takes away a workforce pressure in teachers that aren’t to be found gives a certain solace to the soul of these captains of industry. 

So you tell me how exactly  “the global economy is currently avoiding a worldwide recession” and I will show you where they are failing you because education and infrastructure are the first victims in a recession. 

So you all have a great day, it Saturday here now and whilst Toronto is enjoying its Friday happy feelings, I can tell them that this is overrated, because I have already seen that.

As ideas go

Just before I started writing yesterdays blog, I saw a walkthrough on Monaco. I watch them every now and then. Monaco, Toronto, Abu Dhabi, Dubai all the places I cannot afford to see myself, others make sure that this becomes an option. I reckon that the first Covid shutdown gave people ideas. Anyway, why I was watching the Monaco walkthrough, I suddenly realised around when the camera came to the Elle Style clothing store that something was missing. An adaptation of 5G and wearables. Consider the you pass a billboard, it gives a great style and you are a tourist there, so how to find this? Well, that is where this IP becomes a solution. You are on the Avenue de la Costa and you want to get to that store. So you need to find a map, a direction and if you are shabby in French you will face a few more issues. So here comes Lawrence (aka Garfield, aka Lawlordtobe, aka yours truly), and voila: 

So here we see the  the model, and that billboard at that point also gives the ‘willing recipient’ (the active instigator) the map tag, an optional Lightbox advertisement, the advertisement itself to be stored (if so set in your mobile) and in seconds you are ready to visit this place. A setting that the tourist, or local traveller can use to get to where they need to be. And it goes further, consider malls in Dubai, London, Toronto, they all get to have this added feature. Some will reject this, but most see the stage that this as added visibility  

So where we had nothing, we now have a solution that could be globally rolled out, I mention the famous places, but there is not a mall that cannot benefit from this and that is merely for starters. Government settings of advertising their events and event places become eager new customers, so consider that at any given year 16 million routine events are taking place, and now they get another channel to give visibility, millions of sport events and hundred of thousands of fair events. As I see it all optionally customers to the setting offered here and that is before you need to find the Apple Store in Monaco (hint: there isn’t one) but a new day is dawning (Google is here and me too) to make it all a little easier for the traveler and local stumped person trying to find out where Monaco is holding its Fête de la Mer (June 20th) or perhaps the Live Jazz at La Note Bleue in Lavrotto beach. All places that could benefit from visibility and that was merely one place. Now consider what shows Harrods is giving, a setting more tourists miss, so when these 300,000 daily shoppers get to see what is going on, I reckon that there will be loads more visibility and that is merely two location all whilst the USA has over 135,000 malls. So what are they doing? Well, optionally Google seemingly has your back and even outside the malls and places, there can be added visibility. That market is about to fuel itself to a much larger degree.

So whilst some will put this idea down (some always do) consider that as I see it, no one had this idea as no one moved in this direction and now there is an option for visibility that does not rely on taking notes. It is all downloaded to your mobile at the press of a button and streamed to your smartwatch so you can see where you have to walk to. And is there an exception? Yes, the Formula is making such a ruckus you can hear it in every part of Monaco, but that might be the only event in that monarchy that doesn’t need the advertisement. 

Have a great day all.
