There’s a “Post Web Order” coming into view. So, this weekend a progress check on three fronts of keen interest for subscribers.
First is system readiness in order to be able to “keep up with class” as we are publicly building a MoneyMachine in Python to test machine-assisted trade planning. The second installment will be along in our upcoming Wednesday report.
The second feature today is a 20_ page Futuring paper which outlines very specifically the migration path forming for AI to replace the web.
OK that may not sound like a biggy – except it absolutely IS because this could kill social media as you know it. Would that really be a bad thing?
And then we get down to the rubber meets the road with a progress check on everything from 25H2 to the Atlas browser. If you’re not tracking, you’re sliding into the obo (obsolete) column quickly.
But don’t feel bad – we have some news headlines to pass along plus 30-odd pages of market ChartPack plus more on our “order within chaos” work.
You won’t just want coffee for today’s subscriber report. You’ll want time to think through the implications of where this is all leading us.

Fetterman appears to have recovered from his stroke:

I think Fetterman has learned some life lessons on real tolerance, and real statesmanship, surrounded by hate mongering extremist thugs. He is deserving of bi-partisan support at home.

Here’s your AI – also explains why it is so consistently wrong
“A whopping $56 a month, on average.”
So, old people with little meaning left in life, who collect SS, could spend just PART of one month’s SS increase next January, say $40, to enroll in urbansurvival, and receive all the benefits of this fabulous website?
What a wonderful world!
Trump said before he can MAGA folks will need to endure a “little suffering”.
Around these parts news is telling us the impact of the Fed Shutdown will extend into grocery store earnings, especially the mom & pop shops, because the foodie freebie trains are gonna stop – Bridge/EBT/SNAP cards are going dry.
Food riots? More ICE/National Guard to quell the then hungry Trump haters? Big Food will own the rest of the supply-chain to our tummies.
“Intermind ”
Musky’s brain chips will likely be the next jump. I’ve been talking to a babe who believes in past life regression. The point here might be perhaps we are in a simulation and past life regression is real. Perhaps our minds have a Python-like programming language – think Disk Drill – and can write routines to access/recover previous life data.
Her Intermind may know how to access the internal programming language while other minds don’t, so scoff. I might investigate further by inviting her over to experience my crystal balls becasue she might know/figure out how to work them.
Theoretically we could be in an “infinity mirror” like state with endless tunnels of Intermind reflections. This could explain certain seers. To springboard from the infinite monkey theorem the seers may have had the ability to use/write in the Intermind programming language but not necessarily understood what there were doing/using.
I have very grave reservations about trusting an AI integrated with a browser to summarize the world. Personally, I often read articles, look up the references or inferences, validity check, and then draw my own conclusions. Most people won’t do that, and I really don’t want a profile derived from my queries being stored in an AI browser! There’s enough siloing of knowledge and curated responses to search engine queries already. Even youtube curates and suggests based on your habits. Yes, this has a benefit – sometimes, but it’s a slippery slope. Few keep burrowing under the covers for truth, and media is already refracted by those who serve it. This is yet another derivative beyond what media we already have.
The benefit is a broad brush summarizing of the world. The drawback is that it can’t be trusted.
While I do partly agree, you can train your own ai to reflect a lot of you, your values, and so forth. Besides, do you trust four crooked networks beholding to ad agencies and foreign governments to summarize the world for you?
re: PN Grand Slam Brunch
Folks,
“There’s a fog upon LA, and my friends have lost their way…” George Harrison told us in “Blue Jay Way” as the Summer of Love drew to a close in 1967. Riding down a curving road with Google Maps towards the former Fab 4 rented residence on Blue Jay Way in Hollywood Hills is all 2025 blue skies and sunshine. Approaching destination, a rescue truck belonging to a “Doctor of Plumbing” practitioner is parked roadside while the house itself is hidden behind “google mist”. Proceeding forward the timeline shifts to 2024 and fog envelops a darkened streetscape. Sunshine returns again a few doors after as one reaches 2019.
It would appear that the psychedelic “Blue Jay Way” clip in “Magical Mystery Tour” was filmed in a hangar at the now-closed RAF West Malling airbase. According to “Wikipedia”, the area has reverted to its original name of King Hill, and the control tower has apparently been repurposed as a coffeeshop.
I am starting my semi-annual battery charging fest. I need to get my Linux laptop up and running as well.
I am making another power station purchase. The new one can be used as a back-up to my main inverter in the garage, but unlike that one, which is dependent on external batteries, the new one has a good bit of on-board batteries. And it will be fully compatible with the batteries and cables on the older inverter. It has better than 5 times the battery life of the little power station I am currently using for my comm UPS, which the new power supply will replace. In a significant outage, the new power station will keep my microwave link and wi-fi up for 3 days, instead of half a day. I will also be able to plug the laptop into it. Hopefully either the microwave link or cell service will be working.` In the event that my main inverter goes down, I will now have a plug-and-play replacement, with an extension cord to the comm equipment. I need some more extension cords in stock.
In that legendary Texas freeze of a few years back, when all the wind generators went offline, I only lost power for half an hour, but I lost comms for several days. I’ve noticed since that when the power goes down, the comms seem to stay up. My guess is the local utility has reprioritized their load shedding. Comms and gas distribution should come first. I’m on the same feeder as a medical facility, so I’ll root for them too.
This will satisfy the two-is-one rule, and will not require immediate resupply to implement. This is being partially funded by a good Halloween sale. I have about gotten the power back-ups to the point where going any further will require real money and labor. I will make a decision on that next year. Everything I have bought so far can be ported without major demolition, though it would be a pain in the back.
I play the Power Game like Vegas. A few bucks on one number (grid), more on another (solar), a third number is propane for the genset – gas after that. And the fourth bet is two 2 24V 500 wind machines laid back for bad times.
Been a while since Vegas, for you?
A roulette bet that covers four numbers is called a corner bet — also known as a square bet or quarter bet. You place it by putting your chip on the intersection point (the shared corner) of the four numbers on the layout.
For example, placing a chip on the corner shared by 17, 18, 20, and 21 covers all four numbers. Payout: 8 to 1.
I would think hot coffee, cold freezer, and an at least warm shower while the world freeze would be a higher payout, but we just play ’em, – we don’t set the line.
Electrics make life a lot easier, but I can get by without, for a while. I have some fuel on hand for the short term, but I’m not betting on fuel deliveries. I don’t have everything set up for longer term scenarios, but I have the parts and pieces. After about two weeks, things will change, and I will have to start implementing contingency measures, which would involve 12hr/day brutal manual labor, which I am not eager to reintroduce myself to.
Sitting here writing this, I remind myself of common items I should have, but don’t…
“If you’re not tracking, you’re sliding into the obo (obsolete) column quickly.”
– At times, GU, being an old man, sitting at the end of the dock, quietly fishing and ignoring the world – with a battered green metal thermos of spiked coffee and the occasional comment to the sleepy dog – seems like a really good place to be.
– At times, I tire of the advance and become weary of the change. Must it always be so?
About once a week, generally on Sunday, I ask myselfg the same thing. Why are good men so damn driven. Then I make coffee – old thermos from the sailboat days holds over to Monday morning. Cup and a half later? I remember Pappy’s warning: Plenty of time to rest in the grave or in the Realms. Practice creating every chance you get because it will all run out one day. For now? You’re stocking durable wealth – the kind between the ears.
A quiet morning at anchor on the backside of Blake Island at tide change? Your hot thermos and attentive dog? At least more fungible than, oh, Bitcoin, for example. You’re onto the kind of wealth that travels to hospital beds, and even whatever’s after.
I know a lot of people who’ve collacted millions in paper, only to be paupers at the last heartbeat. If it ain’t in your heart, it ain’t real wealth.
Pour, savor, and pat the dog for us.
After the bump in the road last night, My Dodgers will come back strong. The cream does, eventually rise to the top. I don’t know, or really care, how it effects the market or Bitcoin, since I’m not knowledgeable enough to have invested in either one. At 81, with a home & no debt, I expect my modest nest egg will probably last longer than this adventure will take me.
(SomeONE not READ his Peoplenomics>? My bet on the Jays because..well…you read it!_
Crew arrives in an hour. All that waits now is the right weather and a few minutes to visit customs and ‘clear’ out. Then two weeks or so of Starlinkless life with nothing but the moment of constant attention.
From how it looks now we should have a few days to get everything in best order and be relaxed and ready to go.
This morning it’s glassy and so quiet.
Good thinking time.
Stiks
If it’s calm enough enroute, email us a mid-ocean pic! gure@centurylink.net
I understand starlink is way better than other birds when comes to pitch and yaw
I’m curious about how the cats are doing. Has your cat herd decreased? Fewer repairs in your mesh? Do you have more/less mice/rats/birds/squirrels/snakes than before? I have been thinking about feeding stray cats to reduce vermin entering the house. Not sure if I will be feeding the critters I want to eliminate.
I will cover it on STS tomorrow – thanks for the reminder Eleanor…

Speaking of those CPI numbers
i have listened to buffets lecture on the end of gold . i have given my comments else where . we all have choices wazza . very strange talk . either put up to it or very worried about everything . id say the latter . anyway not gunna bag him we all got choices and opinions . but most of his lecture was a paradox of his entire investment ideas for decades . anyway thats wazza !!!
