Wow, as I anticipated, this is waaay out of my capabilities to really understand it. But I’m quite happy to just have spotted a mistake in an explanatory comment in section 4.5.2 “The icode Array”.

5 star reads of 2025 worth mentioning

#bookstodon 🧵

Someone has asked recently on a toot for others to share their ‘list of 2025 books’. Instead of pointing out to the list of what I’ve read, I’ll instead mention a few ‘5 star’ books I’ve read in 2025 that I think is worth pointing out towards.

By no particular order (well, the order in the photo, really…)

• AJ Pearce’s “Yours Cheerfully” and “Mrs Porter Calling”, books 2 and 3 of The Emmy Lake Chronicles. I’d already read the first book in the series and considered it a five stars read, and I plan to eventually read the fourth and last book in the series - the paperback edition is out next August. This isn’t a deep or profound book series - and doesn’t need to be in order to be a good one. It’s a series depicting the life of a young woman in war-time London. Each of these books made me cry and made me laugh, and I have found some comfort reading them in a time where, in many aspects, it feels like we’re living in a pre-war era…

André Pestana - redução da idade da reforma, reforma mínima de 1000€, acabar com os 5% da NATO

MVieira - Temos tanto ouro, podíamos financiar um projecto de um botão para cada cidadão, o botão resolver. O botão funciona com ciência e magia, inteligência artificial e estupidez natural.

HCorreia - crise climática vai ser o fim do mundo, precisamos de plantar muito muito.

Pergunta final para cada um:

LMM - comentário de que mais se arrepende - é difícil

GMelo - Já desobedecer por razões de consciência? - Nunca precisou

Ventura - um primo diz-me que se apaixonou com alguém do Bangladesh - achava mal, preferia uma portuguesa

Seguro - se não ganhar - a culpa é dele (acho que foi isso)

Cotrim - onde é que o liberalismo precisa de um travão? - não precisa, há um travão embutido

Martins - a causa fracturante mais importante hoje - ex. a xenofobia

A. Filipe - se já se aborreceu com a disciplina de voto - não

Jorge Pinto - já cedi ao voto útil? - não

Humberto Correia - injustiça vs. falta de respeito, qual pior? - a pobreza

Pestana - Alguma vez achou que uma Greve foi longe de mais? - não

Vieira - Coisa maia série que disse e q não foi levada a sério? Direito à felicidade na constituição

Considerações pessoais: quando os debates começaram tinha dúvidas, hoje tenho certezas.

8/8

Marques Mendes quer imigração regulada. Acha que agora as coisas estão muito melhor do que na altura do PS. Crescimento Económico tem de ser estratégico para um Presidente. Temos de ter no mínimo 3,5% de crescimento ao ano. Com mais liberalização e flexibilidade. Temos de aumentar as pensões.

Gouveia e Melo diz que temos é de falar de transparência e segurança, que isso é que são temas de presidenciais, em vez da economia que é um problema de governo. Mas diz isto para acusar LMM em ser facilitador e Seguro de ser fraco segundo Mário Soares.

LMM defende-se, dizendo que GeM tem feito uma campanha de insinuações e não apresenta um caso de facilitador.

AF - O aumento do salário mínimo é bom para os trabalhadores e economia, a descida do IRC é mau (diz e justifica). É preciso de cumprir a constituição, também na aceitação da entrada de imigrantes legalmente.

HC - A melhor integração a imigrantes é na escola

MV - a questão do território é que é o problema que temos de falar. A solução dele é criar Vieirópolis, no centro do país, uma cidade de ficção científica. Desta vez AV não esconde estar a rir, e é Cotrim a conter-se. Boa altura para ir para intervalo… no regresso será a vez do Pestana responder.

6/n

Vieira sobre a saúde quer proibir a doença. Ventura tapa a cara para não se rir do qie Vieira disse. Quer o direito à felicidade para todos os portugueses inscritos na constituição. O vinho canalizado é uma metáfora, admite. Resolvia o racismo pintando toda a gente.

3 - Crescimento Económico, imigração e legislação laboral:

Ventura diz que o problema da saúde e da habitação é culpa da geringonça porque aceitou imigrantes. Seguro está de trombas, e é acusado de ter deixado entrar criminosos em Portugal. Crescimento não é mais importante que parar a imigração.

Seguro quer disciplinar a imigração, a economia precisa de imigrantes, relembra a Ventura que isto não são as eleições legislativas.

Catarina Martins acha que é precisa integração. Quer uma economia de salários dignos, transição climática justa.

Cotrim é quem crescer mais que todos os outros, segundo ele próprio. Chama o jornalista de ingénuo quando os níveis de crescimento actuais são citados. Quer pensões mais altas(!), ah, mas é só quando tivemos a economia a crescer ainda mais, e a natalidade for maior, e a segurança social for “regenerada” (seja o que isso for).

Jorge Pinto começa por se virar a Ventura para dizer “fraude é o Senhor”. Diz que o Jorge Sampaio foi o melhor presidente e que quer ser como ele.

AV aproveita que o deixam falar para criticar também o AS por ser do PS que é quem foi causador do atraso desta nova lei (AS responde demarcando-se do PS). GM acha que “qualquer Português hoje quer comprar uma habitação minimamente decente tem de dispender perto de 1 milhão de euros”, e eu acho que assim é difícil levá-lo a sério.AV aproveita a crítica ao enriquecimento ilícito feita por GM para defender alterar a constituição - e em quatro jornalistas não há um que o confronte com o papel do PR.

Parece que saltaram um bloco de perguntas (porque as respostas estão a demorar mais do que estava previsto), e com isto CM não tem a oportunidade de ser a primeira a responder a nenhum tema.

1. recusou algum negócio ou reunião por conflito de interesses?: JP, AF, GM, CF - não; MM - negócios não, mas convites sim; AV - negócios não, mas no parlamento sim (relacionado com futebol), e está a ser investigado pelo MP; AS - sim, rejeitou um convite de uma empresa a ir ver a bola, já enquanto candidato; CM - já recusou reuniões com outros estados e embaixadas por motivos de posições sobre direitos humanos.
   

8/n

AV diz que isto é tudo “conversa fiada” (e começa a sua conversa de café), mas soluções não há, o que ele faria se fosse eleito não se sabe, e o que o seu partido tem feito ou fará também não se sabe nada. AF mete o dedo na ferida - queremos todos mais, melhor e mais rápida justiça, mas não temos recursos humanos e materiais, funcionários, etc. (mas mais uma vez, isto não é da competência do PR).

1. PR devia ter mandato único? - Temos limite de 2 mandatos de 5 anos, todos acham que está bem como está. AV aproveita para dizer que não gosta da constituição (ainda que esteja a concorrer para ser quem vai jurar cumpri-la), dizendo até que se é para ser assim nem vale a pena ter presidente (então para que se candidata?).
   

Começa o segundo bloco de perguntas, sobre “as ligações do poder político e os negócios”:

Steps to world domination:

1. “Invent” “AI” (by using other people’s data).
   
2. Get people hyped about it and ideally hooked on it.
   
3. Only provide it as a cloud service. But hey, if you want to, you can run it locally!
   
4. Buy all hardware available on the market, so that nobody but you can build more systems.
   
5. All PCs of consumers and competitors are too weak now and can’t be upgraded anymore.
   
6. Everybody depends on your cloud service! Win!
   

All of that is possible because corporations don’t have a “conscience” in capitalism. Nobody forces the RAM manufacturers to sell all their stuff to just one or two buyers, but since the only goal of that manufacturer is to make money, they do it.

Ler fichas técnicas de sondagens é um exercício interessante - e mostra como a matemática prova mas também pode ser usada para enganar.
