one real issue I have with various agents now is "where is this code going to run" - does it need access to my local filesystem - can I fire it off from my phone and if so does it run on the cloud or needs my Mac mini fired up / synced? The current UX metaphors around this seem to need work.

No one wants to be the person who blows up France ahead of an election. A budget will get cobbled together to kick the can past the vote. The real issue is that the US can weather higher interest payments. The UK at 0.4 to 0.5% growth, the Eurozone, and France cannot. Debt servicing hits hard.

I don’t usually spread rumors but: 1) This is from someone with inside knowledge & is plausible 2) Is a real issue of policy we need to think about: if the norms of sharing become strained, will the labs start hoarding knowledge to avoid PR issues? Here

after a week of intensively fuzzing random apps; i’m starting to believe that no software is without bugs and it’s a little white lie the software industry tells itself to sleep well at night. the real issue is the class and type of bug vs impact of the bug.

China Daily Editorial: The hype around China's "overcapacity" and the "crisis" it is supposed to breed is a manifestation of the anxiety in certain Western countries in response to China's industrial upgrading. The real issue is the failure of some economies to adjust to the changes in the new technology revolution. #ChinaDailyEditorial#

A project I’ve been trying to do the last few days has been really hard: Reduce AI Costs for complex workflows It’s obviously very do-able and the job for your eng + prod teams these days But what’s been hard: - Evals IRL aren’t that simple. In the real world, they don’t predict enough actual quality of output to fully rely on. - Some models are just too slow for certain workflows in practice, no matter how fast first tokens are rendered. You have to be as fast or faster than Sonnet to work for this use case at least. - A cheaper model that fails more often can -> massive cost overruns if keeps trying to solve a workflow. Solvable of course but a real issue. This is the job today. But simply turning on OpenRouter (an elegant a product) … is just the very, very start.

THERE IT IS 🚨 The FDA is admitting they have no idea what’s being used in our food The FDA admits they have no idea about 10,000+ chemicals allowed into our foods introduced WITH NO SAFETY STUDIES because they were self approved by Big Food “The real issue here is that the FDA commissioner, as we sit here today, does not know what's in our food. Most Americans, most moms would assume that the ingredients in our food have been subjected to safety studies. That is not true. For the past 40 years, the food industry's taken advantage of a loophole where they can ‘Generally recognize a food as safe GRAS.’ And 95 % of food ingredients now in our food supply have been self-identified as safe with no safety studies. Once you designate that loophole, you do not have to submit the ingredient or safety studies to the FDA and that loophole use has led to the FDA not knowing what's in our food. It could be 2,000 ingredients, it could be 10,000. We don't know. There is no safety study on food” READ THAT AGAIN The FDA is finally announcing GRAS Reform, “Generally recognized as safe.” The Trump Admin is finally closing this loophole, this is a massive deal This loophole has been exploited so bad that 98.7% of all food chemicals that entered the marketplace since 2000 were only reviewed and tested by the food and chemical companies that created them No FDA studies, no safety studies. Just straight into our food

This Labor government oversaw the biggest migration blowout in Australia's history. Now, instead of stopping international students and graduates from bringing their family members over, Labor is cracking down on... backpackers? Australians are sick of government dodging the real issue. Only One Nation can be trusted on migration.
