I see the problem - his signatures are from 2023.

A zoomed-in shot of the candidate's graphic shows a GenAI-generated image of him holding ballot petition papers. The date field for many of them indicates they were from 2023.

Don't do this.

An email with the subject "liked your work on zed"

Hey Aru,

I came across your work on zed and really liked it — thanks for shipping in public.

I'm Arjun. I built SuperCompress — similar to Headroom, but better on the benchmarks. Open source. Cuts LLM input cost by over ~65% while keeping more than ~98% of the critical information. There's a hosted API, plus MCP for coding agents (Cursor / Claude Code / etc.).

If you ever feel like poking at it — open a PR, file an issue, leave a star, whatever — I'd love that. Repo: github.com/Supercompress/Supercompress

No pressure either way.

Arjun

Oof, hugops to the Codeberg team. Unfortunately this is probably what pushes me over to sourcehut.

A message on the Codeberg statuspage reading:

"Power Outage

Since Sunday 00:18 CEST, Codeberg.org is offline. From our investigation, our primary location lost power in our racks, leaving the majority of our servers and some network switches offline. We're waiting for a fix from the datacenter operator."

From DC BOE's page on this: www.dcboe.org/rcv

For a general election contest for at-large members of the Council of the District of Columbia, where two winners are declared,

Each ballot counts as one vote for the highest-ranked candidate on that ballot.
Tabulation shall then proceed in rounds until there are two candidates remaining.
If there are more than two candidates with votes remaining, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated, and the votes from the eliminated candidate are transferred to the ballot's next-ranked remaining active candidate.
This process continues until two candidates remain, and they will be declared winners.

@wmata.com the RIA station only has signage for track work on the NW segment of the red line. However, it appears some Glenmont-bound trains are also scheduled to offload at NoMA (according to the website). Please find a way to convey this with in-station signage next time - it impacts planning.

RIA is my local station, so I didn't ride to the station, but I did walk. When we moved to DC many years ago, I preceded my wife by several months. When she officially moved, I welcomed her to town with a SmarTrip card. #TranspoBINGO
