Hot take: the iPhone Air is the phone for Apple executives. And basically no one else. The colors give it away.
Reporters, I beg you, please stop using headlines with the form “Trump does X” when X is something the president clearly lacks any legal authority to do.

Btw. about 6 months ago the Anthropic CEO said that by now 50% of all code would be written by LLMs.

How does that prediction relate to the reality we all live in and what does that say about his ability to make predictions about the future?

(https://www.businessinsider.com/anthropic-ceo-ai-90-percent-code-3-to-6-months-2025-3)

Anthropic's CEO says that in 3 to 6 months, AI will be writing 90% of the code software developers were in charge of

"And then in 12 months, we may be in a world where AI is writing essentially all of the code," Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said.

this captures the logical and legal incoherence of the Brendan Carr FCC. It claims all the legal authority in the world to bully companies who aren't racist or feckless enough, yet somehow no authority to police things that actually matter to real people, like broadband affordability

Analysis of broadband affordability deemed “extraneous” by FCC chair.

ICE is offering a $132K to $185K per year for supervisory roles & $306K per year to concentration camp managers. Both jobs have ZERO education requirement.

Meanwhile the average starting salary is $46,526 for teachers and $68,485 for nurses. Both jobs require a Bachelors degree & often a graduate degree.

It's a lie that we can't pay teachers & nurses. An uneducated and sick populace is easier to control, creates higher crime rates, and feeds the prison industrial complex. This is by design.

Fuck CBS, Paramount, Ellison. This is no "financial decision." It is Trump taking over American media. This is Hungary. This is disgusting.

Edward Teller is mainly famous as the "father of the hydrogen bomb". But he wasn't dumb. He was invited to speak in 1959 at a big party in New York for the 100th birthday of the oil industry - a party put on by the American Petroleum Institute. Over 300 government officials, economists, historians, scientists, and industry executives were there.

And this is what he said:

‘”Whenever you burn conventional fuel, you create carbon dioxide.... The carbon dioxide is invisible, it is transparent, you can’t smell it, it is not dangerous to health, so why should one worry about it?"

“Carbon dioxide has a strange property. It transmits visible light but it absorbs the infrared radiation which is emitted from the earth. Its presence in the atmosphere causes a greenhouse effect …. a temperature rise …. sufficient to melt the icecaps and submerge New York. All the coastal cities would be covered, and since a considerable percentage of the human race lives in coastal regions, I think that this chemical contamination is more serious than most people tend to believe.”

On its 100th birthday in 1959, Edward Teller warned the oil industry about global warming

Benjamin Franta: Somebody cut the cake – new documents reveal that American oil writ large was warned of global warming at its 100th birthday party.

Billionaires used to try to hide the fact that they were buying elections, now they write thousand word essays proudly announcing it on social media. Reminder: Nothing that ever helped the working class started with a billionaire buying an election.
Lol. One of Cuomo's biggest donors... ranked Lander first and more or less admits he donated to Cuomo as a bribe because he thought Cuomo would win and wanted to be inside the tent.

CISA is changing the way they publizice alerts, including the KEV (known exploited vulnerabilities). These will no longer be shown on the "Alerts" overview, but must be subscribed to via GovAlert (or just scrape the JSON...).

The first vulnerability that is *not* being published as an alert is...drumroll... CVE-2025-47729. "The TeleMessage archiving backend through 2025-05-05 holds cleartext copies of messages from TM SGNL app users"

Isn't that a funny coincidence?
