  1. Hilo International PHTO → Ellison Onizuka Kona International PHKO

    While I'm still figuring out where my next multi-leg journey will take me, I thought: why not see if the Cessna 172 can fly over Mauna Kea? Its service ceiling is 14,000 ft, and Mauna Kea stands at 13,803 ft.

    So, I packed some oxygen and took off. After a wide circle around the volcano and the slowest climb of all time (100–200 ft/min), the altimeter maxed out at 15,000 ft, leaving me with a comfortable margin over the summit.

  6. I am a federally cleared programmer, turned #whistleblower

    I spoke against the #VA and #AccentureFederalServices and pointed out corruption and mismanagement of funds. I fight for the rights of #veterans

    I have been persecuted, and homeless since 2023.

    I am presently in #Japan , seeking political asylum.

    My whistleblower story is here:

    whistleblower.lovestoblog.com/

    I thought that I would be safe from persecution, once I got to Japan. This turned out to be wrong.

    I ran out of the funds I came here with, in February 2026, and have been #homeless here since.

    I turned to every refugee assistance I could find: #JAR, #AAR, #RHQ, #FRESC, #UNHCR , the #Shinagawa City Ward Office. They all denied me assistance.

    Second Harvest gave me 5 food packages, over two months, each of which lasts 2-3 days.

    The #Takanawa #Catholic #Church was feeding me 1 meal a day, though now they have stopped even that.

    When I reported to Mr. Takaii, a priest at #Meguro Catholic Church, that I had been abused by a Catholic Charity in #Kona , #Hawaii ( documented in the link above ), he suddenly told me he did not speak any English, though we had met a few times, and had several conversations, and he speaks English fluently.

    This is probably because I asked him to respond to my critique of #Christianity in general:

    rant.li/ashwin/why-i-am-also-n

    The #corruption at the heart of the Catholic church and Christianity could not be more profound.

    The #Pope has condemned #war and called for #peace , and scored cheap #poltical points against #Trump , though he has not called on all #Catholics to resign from the military, and stop participating in war. His apologia are crocodile tears.

    I am presently hungry, homeless, and need of medical care.

    The Japanese #Immigration Bureau keep asking me why I have "overstayed my visa". I keep responding that while my asylum application is pending, I am not overstaying in Japan. Japan is in violation of #International #Law ( 1951 & 1967 convention on the treatment of #refugees ). They can easily extend my visa, so I can get medical care and food. I have reported to them several times that I am in pain, and need food. They keep on harassing me.

    It seems to me that the #JapanPM has decided to make same mistake that Japan made in #WW2 - siding with #corruption

    Also please advise where I may turn for immediate help.

  19. Kona is an energy-based AI model that solves by constraint solving, not individual token commitment. This reduces the compute requirement by 2-3 orders of magnitude, making running AI much less energy intensive, less harmful to the environment (less power = less heat = less cooling needed), as well as much less expensive. Much greater accuracy is a bonus 😉.

    Since all situations requiring a solution can be defined by constraints, this is a promising avenue of AI research; one that might just make AI both useful and practical.

    *The Sudoku demo is a limited application, but the results show the vast gulf between energy-based systems and traditional LLMs.
