i admit it's a more interesting problem.

The Trump administration has declined to extend the U.S.-Canada-Mexico Agreement (USCMA) that President Trump hailed as "historic" when he signed it in his first term. But that doesn't mean the deal is dead — it's still valid until 2036, unless one country withdraws, and they need to give six months' notice for that. @cbcnews explains what happens next.

An excellent thread here. So much of what I see people pointing to as LLM's benefits for coding relates to long-standing problems in software engineering that the field just hasn't addressed. And LLMs don't solve these problems, at best the just paper them over and make dealing with them less tedious -- while reinforcing the problematic dynamics.
So yes it's great that people with no programming skills can create software to solve their prolems. But if we had collectively spent a chunk of the literally billions of dollars that are going to "AI" building on the early approaches to this from 25+ years ago (Hyperscript, Logo) that don't have the same downsides, we'd be in a much better place today.

I don't think Apple believes in AR/VR enough to create new product categories on belief alone. I think they made the Vision Pro and the new glasses just to keep Meta from dominating any hardware space.
I hope this new CEO is a Meta-hater as much as Tim Cook.

Any previous president would have been quickly impeached and convicted, by both parties.

Remember, we want public officials who revere & speak the truth not only because the electorate needs the truth to make decisions, but because anyone who has shown they are willing to ignore the truth, to act in bad faith, is telling us not only who they are but who they may become.
Those capable of lying about crowd size on day one are telling us they won't have a problem lying about the evidence in a criminal trial, whether or not those around them are corrupt, or even if we're at war.

#Trump backed organizer of America’s 250th birthday events may have duped donors, report from House Democrats alleges
Donors who intended to support a bipartisan nonprofit that’s organizing celebrations for America’s 250th anniversary were allegedly redirected — without their knowledge — to a separate nonprofit behind events being promoted by Trump, according to a report from a group of House Democrats, citing confidential, unnamed sources.

The best write-up on the technology issues is, by far, from @sophieschmieg - https://keymaterial.net/2025/11/27/ml-kem-mythbusting/ - since it has a lot of math, I was thinking someone should write a story-oriented narrative, and the GoT scriptwriters have definitely shown the right skillset.
I decided against a link to the mailing-list archive, life is too short.

At the moment I am writing this, bad internet bills are being proposed across the US, Canada, Europe, and the UK. They're using the usual tactics: they claim they're fighting for kids or fighting security risks, but in general, that's what surveillance and censorship bills have always claimed.
