Comments: Two Capitol rioters have had run-ins with the police, one fatal, within a week of being pardoned. January 6 participant Matthew Huttle was fatally shot by an officer after allegedly resisting arrest at a traffic stop in Indiana. According to local police, Huttle "was in possession of a firearm," during the stop, but it is unclear whether he attempted to use it during the arrest. The second Capitol rioter to be rearrested is Daniel Ball, who was taken into custody for a federal gun charge from 2023 shortly after his release from prison. Despite being pardoned over his actions on January 6—where Ball allegedly threw an explosive into the Capitol causing hearing loss among police officers which lasted for months—Ball still has a criminal record for domestic violence battery by strangulation in 2017 and resisting law enforcement with violence and battery in 2021, meaning his possession of a .22 caliber rifle and ammunition put him in violation of federal gun laws. A third Capitol rioter is currently on the run from Texas police due to a preexisting arrest warrant from 2016. Andrew Taake is wanted on charges of online solicitation of a minor. Despite the Harris County district attorney asking the federal prison Taake was being held in to keep him there so that he could be rearrested by state police following his pardon, the facility released him.
Comments: Trump wants to send undocumented immigrants to Guantanamo Bay Detention Center and Palestinians to other Arab countries. Iran suggested, “why not send Israelis to Greenland?”
Comments: TEHRAN: Iran is ready to discuss its nuclear programme if Western countries show they are "serious", the foreign ministry spokesperson was quoted as saying in an interview published on Thursday. "We have said several times that we are ready for discussions, but only if the other side is serious about this," Esmaeil Baqaei said.
Comments: Here it comes: Following yesterday’s message with updates about the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) memorandum, there have been numerous communications, some conflicting, regarding the temporary pause on federal funding programs and the subsequent administrative stay blocking the pause. Foundation has received updated communications this afternoon from various funding agencies, including NASA and CDC, placing an immediate cease work on all DEIA activities on awards including “DEIA plan requirements, training, workshops, reporting, considerations for staffing, or any other direct or indirect grant activity related to DEIA.” What This Means
As of this writing, we understand that OMB’s January 27 memorandum announcing a temporary pause on federal assistance disbursement has been rescinded by a January 29 clarification memorandum. While the OMB memorandum pausing the disbursement of federal funds under open awards was rescinded, the Executive Orders implementing changes in federal policy regarding research funding, including, but not limited to, “financial assistance for foreign aid, nongovernmental organizations, DEI, woke gender ideology, and the green new deal” as referenced in the OMB directive, are still in effect.

Comments: Numbers don’t lie, he spent in excess of $140,000 at the time using our money and some borrowed from Brits. The new shah turned out to be a classic British lackey. He stamped out Soviet influence and built the Trans-Iranian Railway connecting the Caspian Sea to the Persian Gulf. Built at ruinous cost to the Iranian taxpayer, this allowed British troops to deploy faster to counter the Soviets. Most importantly, the shah increased oil concessions to the British. The British increased their oil production in Persia from around 5 million tons (37 million barrels, equivalent) in 1932 to 10 million tons (over 74 million barrels, equivalent) in 1938. Note that very little of this old money trickled down to the Persian treasury and oil revenue comprised merely 10% of the budget.
Comments: "So you have been properly duped too. He’s gains were self serving even if it benefited the nation. Look at his so called biggest accomplishment, ie the trans railroad in Iran. Study its purpose, why it was built. It wasn’t to serve Iranians interests but deliver British goods to its allies." This statement is incorrect. The Iranian rail road was started, built, and completed way before WW2 starts. Even German companies were involved in building it. Before the project started, Iran reached out to many countries (including British) for investment but got rejected. Hence, he used taxes on internal goods to pay for it.

Comments: It’s neither true nor anything of consequence. It’s a made up story with very little context or drama
Comments: Complete nonsense
Comments: Have the day off. :) Just watched the seed of the sacred fig. Very disappointed
Comments: DeepSeek claims to have pre-trained its V3 model on only 2,048 Nvidia H800 GPUs over a two-month period, with each chip costing about US$2 per hour to run. The total training cost for the V3 model was US$5.5 million, with 2.8 million GPU hours, far less than rival models. Meanwhile, its open-source reasoning model, R1, released earlier this month, has demonstrated capabilities comparable to those of more advanced models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, but with significantly lower training costs.
Comments: If even everything they say is true, then it’s a race. Competition is always good for the consumers
Comments: I haven’t read their papers yet. But it seems DeepSeek's inference models are more compact and faster (requiring less computational power) - only time will tell.
Comments: That pic is actually hilarious ![[biggrin]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif "Big Grin - :D")
