Google has news on what you will need to do for still being able to sideload apps:

* enable developer options
* confirm that you are not tricked
* restart phone and re-authenticate
* wait one day
* confirm with biometrics that you know what you are doing
* decide if you only want unrestricted installs for 1 week or forever
* confirm that you accept the risks
* enjoy the few apps that still have developers motivated to develop for a user-base willing to put up with this

I tasked an AI agent with the implementation of an algorithm from a research paper. 15 minutes later: clean code, green tests, plausible visualizations. Hours later: I'm still not sure if it's correct.

What happens when AI generates code faster than you can understand the domain?

Boom! Another Trump appointee is out:

NCC director Joe Kent resigns immediately, writing

"Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel […] I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives."

The EU parliament tells Viktor Orbán what he is made of. 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

When to automate a repetitive task:

NO-BRAINER: "This is obviously going to be faster to automate than to do it by hand _even once_. Let's automate it right now, and not do it by hand at all."

FORESIGHTED: "Doing it once by hand is faster than automating it, but I'm going to have to do it a lot of times, so it still saves time to automate it first."

NEED A RUN-UP: "I don't yet understand this task well enough to automate it, so I'll do it a few times by hand first to get the idea."

RAN OFF THE RUNWAY: "Great, now I've done this by hand a few times, I think I can automate it reliably! Oh, oops, turned out I only had one more case of it left to do."

TERRIFIED OF RUNNING OFF THE RUNWAY: "This is a one-off, so it would be a waste of time to automate it, I'll just do it manually."
[next day] "Oh, oops, I made a mistake and have to do it again. But it should be fine this time."
[a month later] "Even though I've had to redo it 25 times already, surely _this_ is the last time? So it would still be a waste of time to automate it."

Countries around the globe are rejecting Trump's "demand" in helping to resolve the crisis he fabricated in the Strait in Hormuz. Whether it is Europe, Asia, Australia or elsewhere, the rejection is almost unanimous.

However, there was one country which not only offered help right from the beginning, but also actually has sent help. It has been Ukraine. And this is how Trump responded:

"The last person we need help from is Zelenskyy!"
