I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if AI can't improve productivity of coding, then all other claims about productivity improvements are essentially horseshit. Coding was the one thing everyone was like "well yeah of course it will be able to do that faster"

1. Let's not say goodbye to Eric Schmitt just yet. His story is about more than a power-mad senator falling on his face. It's part of a larger story about the Republicans defending the leader of an insurrection against the United States.

Inside Albanese’s factional dominance: ‘They’ve all been executed, except one’
Through brutal calculation, Anthony Albanese has achieved complete control over Labor’s faction system – a fact reflected in the party’s cautious approach to policy.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese used his recent United Nations address to make a pitch for a seat at the Security Council. He highlighted how the world was spinning into conflict, but refused to name the one nation that has been most responsible for this. johnmenadue.com/post/2026/09...

England is a made up thing. It has no basis in the ineluctable laws of nature. Its extent is defined by Edward II getting his arse handed to him. Athelstan conquering York. The Welsh of Cumbria were incorporated, the Welsh of Gwynedd were not. It is a political idea, an aspiration - not taxonomy.
