Today’s web development tools are undeniably more powerful, but they’ve also introduced significant complexity:
JetZero has daunting tasks ahead to successfully bring its BWB, called the Z4, to the market. It needs $7bn to $10bn (it has, publicly, less than $300m). JetZero plans to make a site selection announcement any day now, before the air show. An entirely new production plant is required. It needs to build the plant, production tooling and the final assembly line
Following his visit May 1-2, Phelan ordered Marines and sailors be moved out of the Air Force-owned barracks within 10 days and that new housing aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Blaz be opened about a month ahead of schedule in response to the squalid conditions, according to POGO and confirmed by the Navy. “I actually thought the buildings were condemned,” Phelan told POGO in an interview. “When we pulled up to them and saw what shape they’re in, I was shocked.”
Since 2010, Illinois has increased taxes and fees 70 times at a cost of $110 billions with 49 of the tax and fee hikes coming under Pritzker.
Similar to Mike Posner’s mindset: Instead of trying to figure out what your audience likes, just create what you like. That’ll help sustain motivation when your audience doesn’t really exist. You’ll be more likely to push through plateaus, and you’ll enjoy the process. You’ll also just produce better work.
this was a Techbuilt, which was a prefab home manufacturer started by a group of Harvard architecture professors and based in Cambridge, MA
Shortly after New Hampshire Democrat Jeanne Shaheen spoke with the Transportation Security Administration about her husband, William Shaheen, TSA officials removed him from a list of people subjected to additional scrutiny under TSA’s “Quiet Skies” domestic surveillance program.
“Here you don’t second-guess,” a friend of Winters says. “In London if someone is not drinking, you think they have an alcohol problem. Here it is either that, or they’re Mormon or have other religious reasons, or because they look at health.”
Then there’s the newfound ability of non-technical people in the humanities to write their own code. This is a bigger deal than many in my field seem to recognize. I suspect this will change soon. The emerging generation of historians will simply take it for granted that they can create their own custom research and teaching tools and deploy them at will, more or less for free.
Based on intelligence files, field investigations, and dozens of interviews, it lays out a stark diagnosis: The Muslim Brotherhood has built an extensive ideological infrastructure in France—not through violence, but through schools, charities, mosques, and soft power. It states: “The Brotherhood’s strategy is to install a form of ideological hegemony by infiltrating civil society under the guise of religious and educational activities.”. The report is the most detailed government study to date of the Brotherhood’s presence in Europe. Written by two civil servants, it draws on months of fieldwork and analysis conducted in France and abroad, with input from diplomats, intelligence officials, academics, and religious figures. Its conclusion is blunt: The Brotherhood operates as a political project. Its goal is not sudden revolution, but gradual transformation. Its targets are hearts and minds. Its strength lies not in secrecy, but in strategic ambiguity. And it is not coming just for France. It is coming for all of the West.
Hovde Properties plans to start the renovation of the Churchill Building this fall and open the hotel about a year later, Schwenker said, though he noted that the opening date is tentative. “We’re going to take our time and do it right,” he said. The renovation will begin with a meticulous interior demolition, informed by an extensive documentation and planning process, he said.
The statement comes some 40 hours after the Postupdated its initial story without an editor’s note or correction notice. One of the authors, former Al Jazeera correspondent Louisa Loveluck, was part of the Post team named as a Pulitzer Prize finalist for international reporting on Gaza. She celebrated the affair with a speech to the Post newsroom that condemned the “level of suffering” in Gaza but did not mention Hamas or the Israeli hostages. Loveluck also has a history of receiving editor’s notes on Israel-related coverage.
“This is America’s, and the world’s, Achilles’ heel, which China continuously exploits,” said Nazak Nikakhtar, who was the assistant secretary of commerce overseeing export controls during Mr. Trump’s first term.
The essay isn’t just poorly argued: It has policy implications. Samson both insults and threatens allied governments, implying there will be some kind of US punishment if European states do not change their policies on free speech, election administration, and (for some reason) migration.
A person still has to stare at the results and discriminate if they are good. This is my major criticism of LLM coding in that they casually spit out way too much code per query at arbitrary complexity, pretending there is no stage 2. Getting that much code is bad and scary. Instead, the LLM has to actively work with you to break down problems into little incremental steps, each more easily verifiable. It has to anticipate the computational work of (2) and reduce it as much as possible. It has to really care. and that means knowing the topic well enough to correct the AI
“The agency is doing a lot of littles, a lot of things that other agencies, departments, companies are capable of doing,” Isaacman said. “That’s not why the taxpayers fund NASA. NASA’s funded to do the near impossible that no one else can do.”
These depth maps, along with other imagery, are stored in High Efficiency Image File Format (HEIF) container files. These files can contain multiple images and vast amounts of metadata. This format was originally designed between 2013 and 2015 and Apple adopted its HEIC variant in 2017.
The tell-tale element is neatly hidden at the back: a church tower like no other in Berlin today. The only original baroque church tower, in fact. It belongs to Sophienkirche – built in 1712-1713 and, as if by a miracle, not hit by massive bombs in the WW2 air-raids or pulverised during the battle for Berlin in April-May 1945.
Went into Chicago yesterday. Some sticker shock. Uber wanted $38 for a 1.7 mi ride from the train station to the Sheraton hotel (it was raining otherwise would have walked). A regular cab was $8. Our breakfast companion said the hotel wanted $500/nite. Ridiculous.
2a. If they have expired, what is the legal basis you think the family has to stay? Particularly in light of the fact that their illegally here father is an antisemite accused of some pretty heinous crimes. (see 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(3)(B))
county officials told her it would be “quite a while before any real estate transactions would take place.” Baron said she reached out to politicians and county officials but came away with the impression no one knew how long rebuilding the system would take.
“Fighting drones isn’t so different from fighting malware: both are a cat-and-mouse game,” Hypponen said. “We try to detect threats that don’t want to be seen. Our adversaries study our methods and adapt, and we update our defenses in response. I’m bringing decades of expertise to this area, tackling a fight that matters now more than ever.”
BREAKING: I have obtained the internal memo outlining reasons behind Microsoft Build’s(@Microsoft) exit from Seattle. This is an absolute indictment on Mayor Bruce Harrell’s(@MayorofSeattle) administration and shows his failure to get the homeless drug crisis under control. ??
As part of the transaction, the new ownership group did two things:
1?? Sold the land to Prudential for $29M and entered into a 114 ground lease (with rent payments going down over time, this is important) 2?? Raised $33 million from over 3,000 shareholders in Empire State Building Associates.
I told him I had to finish my PhD, a required credential for researching brains and consciousness. But Jef would not take “No” for an answer, and sent me roundtrip airplane tickets with a note: “Just visit for a weekend, no strings attached.” My dad lived in nearby Los Gatos so I decided to visit.
If you want even more understanding, you can go further and test the tap water that comes out of your faucet. Doing so is not cheap — but it is much more affordable and far less of a hassle than a lifetime of maintaining a filtration system that you may not have needed in the first place. (Because about 15% of the US populace, or 43 million people, uses water from unregulated private wells, we include both utility and well-water test kits in our guide.)
BREAKING: Apple just proved AI “reasoning” models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don’t actually reason at all. They just memorize patterns really well.
Furthermore, look at the libertarian & green parties. They have been working for years & still don’t have complete ballot access.
