The British Science Association announced today the discovery of about 200 standing stones (called Superhenge) just under two miles (3km) away from the Stonehenge.
"The overlying bank surrounding the Superhenge is aligned with the winter solstice, but the buried monument seems to be on a different alignment."

Professor Vince Gaffney

Recent scanning of the area with remote sensing and image technology has already unveiled 4.5 meters tall standing stones expected to be about 4500 years old. The Superhenge, called Durrington Walls, has been lost to archeology up until now and could be the largest intact prehistoric monument in Great Britain. In an interview to the BBC world news, Professor Vince Gaffney of the University of Bradford said that the overlying bank surrounding the Superhenge alignment with the winter solstice, but the buried monument seems to be on a different alignment. The original purpose of the Stonehenge is still a mystery that maybe the 15 times bigger Superhenge discovery could help to unveil.

AI Boom Hits a Fork: Slowdown Calls Clash with Capex Confidence as Markets Get Nervous
Dario Amodei's repeated calls for a global slowdown in frontier AI development, echoed by Microsoft's new humanist AI code of conduct and FTC antitrust caution, are being publicly rejected by Nvidia and Meta leadership even as hyperscaler spending draws fresh skeptical scrutiny (Wachter's analysis, Burry-style overbuilding worries) and weak guidance from Adobe and a post-slowdown-comment selloff in GE Vernova signal investor jitters. Meanwhile wealth and security effects of the AI race keep compounding — Zhang Yiming's fortune surging on AI-driven ByteDance value, a Chinese hacking firm weaponizing AI against stolen government secrets, and low-quality AI-generated products (an AI sitcom, a spam-flooding agent platform) fueling backlash even as adoption races ahead.

Both facts report Berkshire Hathaway's cash position on 2026-01-01 with identical observation timestamps, but claim vastly different values: 380 billion USD vs 400 USD. These cannot both be true for the same entity at the same point in time. The magnitude of the discrepancy (a factor of ~10^9) rules out rounding, unit conversion, or methodological differences.
