"Interpreter?...from the embassy?"

Trumps envoy, Witkoff, used a Russian agent as his interpreter thinking she was from the US Embbassy.

They're so painfully dumb.

Russia is a Terrorist State.

No country should normalize relations with them until justice has been served.

I followed an efficient research paper workflow during my PhD. I'd start with a strategic pre-read: abstract, introduction, and conclusions first, then figures and captions, and finally section headings to grasp the structure. If the paper still seemed relevant, I'd read it in full.Often the pre-read was sufficient to determine it wasn't worth my time.

I now apply this same approach to video content, using AI to summarize Youtube video transcripts before watching. This not only saves hours but makes any subsequent viewing more focused and comprehensible

The @1password SSH Agent is half baked, and really annoying. Constant nags from VS Code, because I don't want to "Approve for all applications" which strikes me as insecure.

Also poorly handles 2 SSH keys for a service like having a work and personal key for Github.

For some reason Telegram is *still* big in Ukraine 🤷‍♂️
