Quote of the Day by Leo Tolstoy: "Real wisdom is not the knowledge of everything, but the knowledge of..." - The Times of India Added: Mar 4, 2026
Quote of the Day by Leo Tolstoy: "Real wisdom is not the knowledge of everything, but the knowledge of..." - The Times of India

Leo Tolstoy was one of the most popular English novelists. He was born in Russia in 1828. He is known for lengthy novels like War and Peace and Anna Karenina. He lived a long life full of personal problems, military service, and deep spiritual changes. He died in 1910.Tolstoy was born at Yasnaya Polyana, his family's estate south of Moscow in Russia. His mother died when he was two years old, and his father died when he was nine. He and his siblings were then taken care of by relatives. He was very close to his aunt Tatyana Yergolskaya when he was a child. He said they were a time of innocence, even though he lost people around him. He went to Kazan University but dropped out in 1847 because he was having trouble with his classes and started drinking and gambling. From 1853 to 1856, Tolstoy fought in the Crimean War. He was in Sevastopol during terrible sieges. He became famous for writing Sevastopol Sketches about the harsh realities of war, which showed how well he could see things. After the war, he traveled around Europe. In Paris, he saw a public execution that scared him and made him question authority and violence. He married Sophia Behrs when he was 34 years old and she was 18 years old. They had 13 kids, but only eight of them lived to be adults. Sophia took care of the house and copied his manuscripts by hand while he wrote.War and Peace and Anna KareninaIt was War and Peace which takes inspiration from real events from Napoleon's invasion of Russia that really made him an iconic international name. It has more than 500 characters and is about love, war, and fate. Anna Karenina (1875–1877) was another book that became extremely popular. It is about a woman's affair and downfall and a landowner's search for meaning. The famous line is 'All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.'Tolstoy wrote in a realistic way, using simple, clear language that sounded like real life. He made scenes come to life and seem real by using a lot of details about everyday things like nature, clothes, and thoughts. He blended history, philosophy, and stories in a way that was natural, like in War and Peace, where big wars and family dramas come together. People who don't like his work say it feels real, not like artifice. Virginia Woolf called him the best novelist.Later life and philosophyAround 1877, Tolstoy had a hard time with his faith. He doubted the meaning of life, didn't believe in church dogma, and followed Jesus' simple teachings, like not fighting back against evil. This led to books like The Kingdom of God Is Within You (1894), which had an effect on Gandhi's ideas about nonviolence. He became a pacifist, vegetarian, and critic of the state, property, and church. In 1901, the Orthodox Church kicked him out. He gave away his rights, lived simply, and opened schools for poor people. His extreme views destroyed his marriage. He left home in secret in 1910, got pneumonia on a train, and died at Astapovo station on November 20.Quote of the dayThis quote from Tolstoy's writings, which are often linked to his thoughts after reading Jean-Jacques Rousseau, says, 'Real wisdom is not the knowledge of everything, but the knowledge of which things in life are necessary, which are less necessary, and which are completely unnecessary to know.' Tolstoy belonged to a time that witnessed massive changes. It saw wars, the end of serfdom, and a boom in science. Through these lines, he wants to express that it is not necessary that one should know about everything under the sun. One may not be a scholar who has studied everything but a man with practical wisdom who knows the solution to everyday issues that could make his life simple and easy. More than vast knowledge, the right kind of knowledge is important. In the end, the quote tells us to be careful. Life is short, so go after what makes you better, like relationships and morals, not facts that never end. Tolstoy lived it, flaws and all, showing that wisdom is better than theory.

How a Music Streaming CEO Built an Open-Source Global Threat Map in His Spare Time | WIRED Added: Mar 5, 2026
How a Music Streaming CEO Built an Open-Source Global Threat Map in His Spare Time
Site: WIRED
Frustrated by fragmented war news, Anghami’s Elie Habib built World Monitor, a platform that fuses global data, like aircraft signals and satellite detections, to track conflicts as they unfold.
The engineer turned executive built the system, called World Monitor, to make sense of chaotic geopolitical news. Instead, it went viral. Habib’s day job revolves around licensing deals and streaming metrics. But during a stretch of increasingly chaotic geopolitical news, he started building a tool to make sense of it. “I’m an engineer by training, and I hold myself to a discipline of continuously learning new technologies regardless of my CEO title,” Habib tells WIRED. The idea emerged as headlines began colliding in ways that felt impossible to follow. “The news became genuinely hard to parse,” he says. “Iran, Trump’s decisions, financial markets, critical minerals, tensions compounding from every direction simultaneously.” Traditional media wasn’t solving the problem he had in mind. “I didn’t need a news aggregator,” he says. “I needed something that showed me how these events connect to each other in real time. The existing OSINT tools that did this cost governments and large enterprises tens of thousands of dollars annually.” Treating the massive gap in the market as a weekend challenge, Habib started coding. “I built World Monitor in a single day as a learning exercise,” he says. “The platform you see now reflects maybe five or six total days of development plus community contributions.” Signals From Everywhere The platform processes a messy stream of global data, bypassing social media noise to pull facts directly from the source. “The system ingests 100-plus data streams simultaneously,” Habib notes. The result is a constantly updating map of global tensions: conflict zones with escalation scores, military aircraft broadcasting positions through ADS-B transponders, ship movements tracked through AIS signals, nuclear installations, submarine cables, internet outages and satellite fire detections. “Everything is normalized, geolocated and rendered on a WebGL globe capable of displaying thousands of markers without frame drops,” Habib says. The underlying architecture wasn’t built from scratch. Much of it draws on the same principles used to process massive volumes of streaming data. Handling millions of music streams taught Habib how to build systems that ingest and process information at scale. “I built Anghami and OSN+ data systems and I took a lot of inspiration from the learnings while building this tool,” he says. “It’s obviously very different in nature, but the systems remain the same.” (OSN+ is a Middle Eastern video streaming platform majority-owned by Anghami.) The real surprise came from the dashboard’s audience. Music-streaming platforms tend to have predictable user patterns. A live geopolitical map attracts something very different: a global—and often obsessive—crowd of watchers. “Building for such a varied audience is hard,” Habib says. Traffic data shows how widely the platform has spread. The US alone accounts for about 10 percent of users, according to him. While Europe collectively represents roughly 20 percent of traffic, the Middle East and North Africa, he says, contribute 18%. Asia accounts for about 35 percent. “These are surprise numbers,” he says. “ Hence dealing with the users’ queries is going to be very different.” When the War Hit Before the missiles started flying, people used the map for very specific reasons. Traders tracked cargo ships to monitor supply chains, while engineers watched power grids and infrastructure networks. “One sports bar runs it on their TVs when there are no games,” Habib says. But when joint US-Israeli military strikes hit Iran in late February—disrupting maritime logistics and forcing commercial airspace to clear—the platform’s role changed almost overnight. What had been a curiosity for analysts and hobbyists became a live threat monitor. Casual observers began watching active escalations unfold in real time. Between early February and the morning the strikes began, the project had recorded just over 1 million unique visitors. By the evening of March 3, that number had passed 2 million. “Every day has been the biggest day since the strikes started,” Habib says. At one point, the system handled more than 216,000 unique visitors in a single day. But Habib wasn’t just monitoring traffic. He was still writing code. “During the Iran strikes I had to build fast additions,” he says. “New map layers, Telegram intel retrieval, Hebrew-to-English siren alerts, GPS-jamming detection, airport cancellation feeds, embassy risk advisories.” Those features were deployed almost immediately, Habib says. “The architecture had to scale in ways I never originally planned for.” How the Map Verifies Reality Processing hundreds of live data streams during a military conflict raises a question: How do you verify information fast enough to keep the system moving? Habib’s answer was to remove human editors entirely. “Zero editorializing,” he says. “No human editor makes a call.” Instead, Habib says the platform relies on a strict source hierarchy. Wire services and official channels such as Reuters, AP, the Pentagon and the UN sit at the top tier. Major broadcasters including the BBC and Al Jazeera follow, along with specialist investigative outlets such as Bellingcat. In total, he says the system processes about 190 sources, assigning higher confidence scores to more reliable ones. Software then scans incoming reports for major events and emerging patterns. If multiple credible sources report the same development within minutes, the system flags it as a breaking alert. But headlines alone are not enough. Because online claims can be unreliable, the platform also looks for physical signals on the ground. It tracks disruptions such as internet blackouts, diverted military flights, halted cargo ships and satellite-detected fires. “A convergence algorithm then checks how many distinct signal types activate in the same geography simultaneously,” Habib says. “One signal is noise. Three or four converging in the same location is the signal worth surfacing,” Habib says. If an internet outage coincides with diverted aircraft and a satellite heat signature in the same area, the map flags a potential escalation. Habib acknowledges that removing humans from the loop carries risks. “The multi-tier source-credibility system and convergence algorithm [are a] substitute for editorial judgment,” he says. “Whether that creates blind spots in genuinely novel scenarios, an event with no historical baseline, is a real architectural question the system doesn’t fully resolve.” Beyond the Map Habib does not plan for the platform to become a business. “World Monitor started as a personal learning project,” he says. But the experiment quickly grew beyond that. Developers from around the world began contributing code and ideas, helping expand the system’s capabilities. Now the project is shifting toward a broader goal. “The direction shifts from pure conflict tracking toward broader world signal understanding and acting on these signals,” Habib says. Instead of simply mapping events after they happen, the platform is increasingly designed to detect patterns before they become headlines, Habib says. “The architecture is moving toward predicting where signals converge before events become news.” This story originally appeared on WIRED Middle East.

Intelligence emerges when the whole brain works as one
Site: ScienceDaily
For decades, scientists have mapped attention, memory, language, and reasoning to separate brain networks — yet one big mystery remained: why does the mind feel like a single, unified system? Researchers at the University of Notre Dame now suggest that intelligence doesn’t live in one “smart” region of the brain at all. Instead, it emerges from how efficiently and flexibly the brain’s many networks communicate and coordinate with each other.
