Israeli soldiers were filmed discarding items from Palestinian homes in Qusra, West Bank, amid ongoing settler encirclement; the Israeli military said it is checking the incidents

Just had a thought that Bitter Lesson applies to so much more than AI and compute and all that. It's about discarding old thinking and cruft when something better comes along. It's a general progressive ethos thing, if you think about it. Think about old lawmakers, or principal engineers, or others who have lifetimes of experience and know what should and should not be done. And the first thing they do when new ideas come along is they say no. That's not how it's been done. I know better. I have the experience. In this metaphor, compounding progress and overall human advancement is the AI. It's the new wisdom that could be discovered by progress and new ideas. If we gave it a chance. That doesn't mean every new idea, or every thing proposed by AI, will be better than what we were doing before. But it does mean that the policy of rejecting newer, freer ways of doing things, just because "the experts" say it would be a bad idea....is a bad idea. The Bitter Lesson, generalized, in other words, is the idea that when "the experts" become gatekeepers to progress, that's generally (but not always) a bad thing.

European supermarkets have become the center of another cyberattack, with hackers remotely heating fridges and spoiling food. The attack caused temperatures in fridges and freezers to rise sharply, with at least one store reporting temperatures of up to 50°C (122°F) and other retailers discarding food. It’s sparked concerns across the retail industry. Read more:

🔸 November 2 - Saint Gabriel the Fool for Christ 🔥🔸 Today, we commemorate Saint Gabriel the Fool for Christ. He was a wonderworking Georgian monk during the era of Soviet persecution. St Gabriel was born in Tbilisi in 1929 with the name Goderdzi. When his father Vasili was murdered, the 2 year old Goderdzi was renamed Vasiko in his honour. Vasiko first heard the name of God at age 7 when he overheard his neighbours arguing, and one shouted, “You have crucified me like Christ”. The curious boy asked the men Whom Christ was, and they told him to read the story of His life. The boy rushed to the book market and purchased a copy of the New Testament which soon illuminated his soul. His heart aflame with a love of Christ, Vasiko would build small churches from pebbles in the yard. While many Georgians were discarding their icons for fear of persecution from the Communists, Vasiko went door to door collecting these icons which he cherished. Concerned over her child’s obsessions with God, Vasiko’s mother threw away his New Testament. At this point, the boy left home and took shelter in many monasteries including the Samtavro monastery. While completing his mandatory service in the Soviet army, Vasiko would often secretly attend liturgies. His comrades alerted the authorities, and they sent him to a medical commission where they declared him mentally insane. Discharged from the military, Vasiko committed himself to monasticism. He attended services at the Sioni Cathedral in Tbilisi, and formed a close spiritual bond with Patriarch Melchizedek III who tonsured him a monk in 1954 with the name Gabriel. In 1965, thousands gathered in Tbilisi for the annual Soviet celebration of international workers day. St Gabriel was so disturbed by this communist cult that he set fire to the giant portrait of Lenin for which he was beaten and arrested. Banned from the priesthood by the Soviets, St Gabriel later constructed a hermitage behind his family home where he spent many years living in asceticism. He was later restored to the priesthood in his beloved monastery of Samtavro where he reposed in 1995, a smile still etched on his face.

Long-running AI agents all hit the same wall eventually, context rot, and LangChain just laid out five concrete techniques to deal with it. Title: Context Engineering with Deep Agents: How To Remember Without Keeping Everything In Context URL: 🧩 The problem As agents accumulate instructions, tool results, and files, they eventually exceed the model's context window, degrading reasoning quality, much like how humans lose track of earlier details under information overload. 💡 Five techniques Offloading (moving large results to the filesystem), summarization (compressing older messages while writing them to file), skills (progressively loading full instructions only when relevant), subagents (isolating noisy work in separate context windows), and long-term memory (persisting learnings across sessions as markdown files) work together to manage context without discarding information. 🔧 Technical highlights All five are implemented as middleware hooked into the agent loop, automatically offloading results over roughly 20,000 tokens and user messages over 50,000 tokens to the filesystem. Because memory lives as plain files in storage you control, learned behaviors survive even when you switch model providers. 📊 Use case A market-research agent analyzing five competitors shows this in action: raw data exports, search results, and draft iterations pile up during the task, and context engineering keeps those intermediate artifacts from degrading reasoning quality in the final report. #AIAgents# #ContextEngineering#

Before Dishonored was made, Arkane Studios was reportedly working on ideas for a new Thief game and a Blade Runner adaptation under Bethesda. According to Dishonored creators Raphaël Colantonio and Harvey Smith, both projects were cancelled after the rights could not be secured. Bethesda told Arkane to turn those ideas into a new original game instead of discarding the work. That game became Dishonored. The final product still shows the influence: stealth and level design inspired by Thief, and a dark industrial world with clear Blade Runner vibes. In the end, the cancelled projects helped Arkane create one of the most loved immersive sims of its generation.
