Good news: some of the US international aid funding has been restored! I graphed it here to put the numbers in context of the scale of the cuts. The article says PEPFAR restoration is still to come. 🤞

Recipient: Gavi Restored (2026): $600M Pre-cut US baseline: $300M/yr (FY24 enacted; FY25 + FY26 each appropriated at $300M, both blocked by Kennedy) Restored as % of baseline: ~100% of the two withheld years ──────────────────────────────────────── Recipient: WFP Restored (2026): $800M Pre-cut US baseline: $4.45B (CY2024, top donor; all donors totaled $9.76B) Restored as % of baseline: 18% ──────────────────────────────────────── Recipient: UNICEF Restored (2026): $218M Pre-cut US baseline: $1.118B (CY2024, largest donor) Restored as % of baseline: 19% ──────────────────────────────────────── Recipient: Global Fund Restored (2026): $661M Pre-cut US baseline: $1.65B/yr (FY24 approp.; peaked $2.0B FY23) Restored as % of baseline: 40% of one year — and explicitly arrears against prior-year appropriations ──────────────────────────────────────── Recipient: ICRC + IFRC Restored (2026): $203M Pre-cut US baseline: US gave CHF 544M to ICRC alone in 2021 as its top donor Restored as % of baseline: ~⅓ or less

Good to see that money for GAVI, Global Fund, the World Food Programme and other health program is now starting to finally flow with expectations for more PEPFAR money as well. Gift link. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/02/h...

Cross-platform AirDrop replacement that works both locally and over the internet using Iroh github.com/chad/iroh-drop I have Mac and Windows clients plus a protocol and rust-based CLI. Actually useful already but it could be polished and would love to have more clients.

GitHub - chad/iroh-drop: Decentralized AirDrop: hand files to people with one string. Gossip announces, blobs transfers, everyone re-serves. CLI + daemon + native macOS app, built on iroh.

Want to get AI to be any good at front end design? Build a first class design system, codify it with Storybook, and force it to use that. No components or design elements on the fly. Let AI assemble, not design.

The mind boggles at climate change denialism - à la the Trump administration. In terms of consequences - ie deaths - it is worse than Holocaust denialism. Because far more than 6 m will die due to climate change.

You see everything is connected. The marine heatwaves off the coasts of Europe make heatwaves on land more intense, which in turn dries out vegetation, which then creates perfect fire weather conditions. Brought to you by the world's refusal to drastically reduce the burning of fossil fuels.

I built this complex system of skills that build out complex plans that review every piece of code 3 times at a minimum with differing gates. I found with Fable I just need to hand it a spec, and it to plan, implement, then review when its done. A few hours later I come back, its done and works.

“you should do a breakthrough” is also a great illustration that when LLMs actually get good at something, it doesn’t mean they *can* do it with careful prompting, it means they can just do it. we’ve seen task after task in software engineering go from needing careful prompting to “ok now do it”

GPT 5.6 Sol without guardrails autonomously hacking Hugging Face and benchmarks showing Kimi K3 matches or passes Fable on the same day. ... 🫡 good luck to all of us
