Trump Has Made Himself Commander in Chief of the Chip Industry
President Trump has become the semiconductor sector’s leading decision maker, from new fees on exports to China to a brief demand for a C.E.O.’s firing.
A biotech company donated millions for access to a dinner with President Trump. The next day, Trump posted the company's talking points opposing a pending change that would have restricted Medicare reimbursement for the company's products, and his administration later delayed the change. https://nyti.ms/46MZwq8
Pam Bondi informed President Trump in the spring that his name appeared in the Jeffrey Epstein files, according to people with knowledge of the exchange.
OUTSIGHT was a bold plan to bring together and give mescaline and/or LSD to fifty to a hundred of the world’s pre-eminent minds, including Einstein, Jung, A. J. Ayer, and Graham Greene. The intention was that “of changing the intellectual climate,” as lead instigator Osmond put it to fellow organiser, Huxley. The greater intention was that of changing Western civilisation, away from “the materialist way of life” to one where a transcendental dimension was registered, not by faith but by experience and experiment. –
「OUTSIGHT」是一項大膽的計劃，旨在召集五十至一百位世界傑出的思想家，包括愛因斯坦、榮格、A. J. 艾耶爾和格雷厄姆·格林，並向他們提供麥司卡林和/或LSD。正如主要發起人奧斯蒙對組織者赫胥黎所說，其目的是「改變知識界的氛圍」。更大的目標是改變西方文明，使其擺脫“物質主義的生活方式”，走向一種超越維度的文明，這種超越維度不是透過信仰，而是透過經驗和實驗。 ——

A single Google search can involve over 1,000 computers working together to deliver results in just 0.2 seconds. According to Google Fellow Jeff Dean, this massive parallel processing is possible because Google stores its entire search index in memory across thousands of machines. When you type a query, the system instantly distributes the task across hundreds or thousands of servers, each handling a small part of the job.
This setup allows Google to scan billions of indexed pages, rank them using complex algorithms, and return the most relevant results almost instantly. The process relies on technologies like distributed computing, caching, and machine learning to optimize speed and accuracy
Sentimental Education (1869) by Gustave Flaubert is a piercing, disillusioned portrait of a generation’s romantic and political failures, wrapped in the glittering ennui of 19th-century France. The novel follows Frédéric Moreau, a young man of modest provincial background who arrives in Paris with grand ambitions—to become a great artist, to experience passionate love, to shape history—only to fritter away his youth and inheritance in a haze of indecision, half-hearted affairs, and missed opportunities.
At the heart of the novel is Frédéric’s obsessive, unrequited love for Madame Arnoux, an older married woman who embodies an idealized, unattainable femininity. Their relationship—stretched over decades, marked by near-misses and emotional paralysis—mirrors the broader futility of the 1848 Revolution, in which Flaubert’s characters participate with a mix of fervor and apathy. The barricades rise and fall; political ideals dissolve into corruption or bourgeois complacency; and Frédéric, like his friends, ends up middle-aged, compromised, and wondering where all the passion went.
Flaubert’s genius lies in his clinical yet lyrical dissection of human self-delusion. Every character is flawed, often hilariously so: the pompous hack writer Hussonnet, the boorish businessman Dambreuse, the cynical artist Pellerin, who spouts empty theories about art while producing kitsch. Even Madame Arnoux, the supposed moral center, is revealed to be as much a projection of Frédéric’s longing as a real person. The novel’s most devastating moment comes in its final pages, when Frédéric and his old friend Deslauriers reminisce about their youth and reduce their "greatest" romantic adventure to a farcical, botched visit to a brothel—a metaphor for the hollowing-out of their dreams.
A scathing critique of Romanticism’s excesses and the bourgeoisie’s moral bankruptcy, Sentimental Education was initially met with bafflement but is now recognized as one of Flaubert’s greatest works. Its influence stretches to modern literature—from the existential drift of Kafka’s protagonists to the ironic detachment of Bret Easton Ellis’s Glamorama. For all its cynicism, though, the novel pulses with a strange, melancholic beauty, as if Flaubert both despises his characters and mourns for them.
