This is the most-anticipated game release of the year for me.

It's a classic city-builder game, but instead of building the city, you bulldoze it for cars.

I am currently updating/revising the "Python for Defenders" course for @thetaggartinstitute, and we will not be discussing LLMs. The point is to build the skills, not outsource them. You cannot verify what a model does if you don't have the knowledge in the first place.

Addendum: I've been contributing to open source since 1989. I'm not presently looking for specific projects for myself or other people, or for advice on how to find or join projects - I'm wondering if someone is already running a service specifically to pair up retirees (or programmers who are between jobs involuntarily) with a wide range of OS projects. Thanks.

Hey, y’all remember last year when I went to the ER cause we thought I was having a stroke cause of the double vision? And it turned out to be a bacterial infection in my optic / cranial nerves, and the culprit was ultimately determined to be contaminated eye drops?

This PSF blog post is important, but has a bad title. It sounds like it's going to be a puff piece of PR for Amazon. It's not. It's about how the PSF needs more resources. Read it, and show it to whoever you can.
