"Talented professionals will now understand that if they insist on enforcing the law, fighting corruption, and challenging poor governance, they are unlikely to remain in office for long," writes Olena Tregub, the founder of the Independent Anti-Corruption Commission, in her op-ed.
More than a reshuffle — What Ukraine's new government reveals about power
The Ukrainian government's resignation last week has become something of an annual ritual. Each iteration is presented as a fresh start, yet together they point to a far more significant problem — a p...

When a company, eg Ikea, doesn't answer phone anymore but lets you only chat with an inept IA, it's effectively closing its after-sales service, which makes money in the short term but loses customers. This is a weird choice.
In today’s Vatnik Soup, we introduce Jean-Luc Mélenchon, a French far-left politician. He’s best known for founding the party La France Insoumise (LFI, “Unsubmissive France”), demanding submission from his own movement, and advocating worldwide submission to authoritarian dictatorships. 1/23

Ok, I finally managed to build my own FPV ground drone from a Pico W, an arducam, and Lego parts. Everything is wireless and powered by 9 AA batteries! As usual, I'll write an article and publish the whole code (both embedded and backend are 100% #rust).
La devise de Marc Bloch, tout le monde l'a vue, était "Dilexit veritatem". La devise de son fils Louis, résistant lui aussi et qui n'a appris qu'à la libération l'engagement et la mort de son père, était "In vino veritas". Il l'avait fait imprimer sur ses signets. Je viens juste de faire le lien.
Technically, they’re Remains now.

People laughed when Trump said the war would only end with unconditional surrender but he's a man of his word and he has now surrendered unconditionally

I just blocked on GitHub a user making PRs (not just on my repo) adding a FUNDING.yml file or modifying it to add themselves. The most ridiculous piece here is that if they successfully hack themselves in a thousand projects they'll still make like 10 dollars per year...

There's a fun bug in the #gemini chat. It sometimes ends its answers with what looks like leaking HTML, eg `</K,></K,>`. I just understood that the chat is "closing" what it interprets as opening tags, in Rust code which goes like `HashMap<K, V>`.

Funny thing: your Rust team probably uses #bacon, #broot, #dysk, or #lazy_regex daily. I'm their author — freelance, available, based in Lyon (remote-friendly). If your company hires #Rust developers and you value open-source, let's talk. Or just boost this. 🦀 dystroy.org

#LLM companies, especially #Anthropic, are playing a dangerous game with adaptative thinking. If they become stupid when the question looks simple, their value drops. Reliability beats medium quality. Here, Claude Sonnet 4.6 thinks 20 < 69 < 54.
The face of someone who’s devoted their life to service, science and space exploration needing to listen to some draft-dodging, out-of-shape bozo brag that he easily could’ve been an astronaut.
