I don’t think city planners and architects understand cities at all if they can illustrate this type of graphic without asking the question of why that space isn’t used? Freeways are loud, unpleasant gashes in cities and the only way to create this level of vibrancy is to remove them

Cannot be emphasised enough that Trump II will plausibly cause the kind of death count we associate with the worst dictatorships of the last century. Unspeakably bad that he came to be president of the world's most powerful nation.

🎁Lol. This stuff is pretty creative. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/t...

“The agents attempted to use many different methods to solve that problem. In one, they used website screenshots and shortened links to cobble data together in chunks that combined to operate as a computer program. Here’s how it worked:

• The agents could ask a public screenshot service to load a specially crafted internet address. That address, or URL, would load computer code.

• URLs can be only so long. So the agents split their computer code into many smaller chunks. They used link-shortening services to store the URLs.

• The screenshot service loaded one shortened link, which fetched the first chunk of code. The program could fetch the next link, and then the next. That process repeated until the full program was loaded and run by the screenshot service.

• Finally, the program created a visual code similar to a QR code or bar code to transmit the data the agents needed back from the screenshot service.”

We are building a Seattle where stability is not the ceiling of our ambition, but the ground beneath it. I am transmitting a budget to City Council with ambitious funding for shelter and community to create safety, stability, and affordability. Oh, and — no structural deficit through 2030.

This quote by Dwight Dively, who spent nearly two decades at King County doing budget work but is now back at the City of Seattle, is really quite damning and I'm afraid it will get buried in today's news cycle.

"I left a city government that ran well," said City Finance Director Dwight Dively, who served as the City's Finance Director for more than a decade before returning to the role this year after sixteen years away. "Coming back, I was struck by how much had changed, and not for the better. There is real work to do here, and I am glad to be part of doing it. Seattle residents trust us with their money and their services. Being a responsible steward of that trust is the job."

If they did use the chat logs… then my take is very different about the ethics here.

It is one of the top ten biggest current math problems. It would be huge news in the mathematics world so I’m sure rumors were flying. Sebastian definitely seems like an ass, but I’m having a hard time getting upset about an arms race to solve hard math and science problems that benefit everyone.

Jake Friedman @spaceisfun.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Assuming they in fact did not use anything from the researchers’ chat logs, the accusation that they “heard a competitor might have solved a complicated math problem, immediately tried to solve it themselves to upstage them, accomplished that, and published a proof of such” doesn’t seem bad at all?

I don't think you can come down hard enough on any athletes or brands who partner with these parasitic companies. LeBron is asking his fans to engage in a product that's overwhelmingly likely to just rob them of their money. It's so gross.
