  • Three American soldiers killed as U.S.-Israeli strikes in Iran continue into 2nd day

    Jump

  • I don't know the channel, but here's a video titled "US and Israel intercept missiles over Iraq." Sure is dystopian: a video of farmland with missiles launching from a distant city. No explanations. But it really brings home to me how countries and people are caught between other countries capricious decisions.

  • New Denver order takes aim at ICE activity — ordering police to protect protesters, possibly by detaining agents

  • Do Protected Bike Lanes Work? San Diego’s 30th Street Offers Four Years of Proof

    Jump

  • Since the headline doesn't say:

    According to data from San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) and a city-installed bike counter, annual cycling trips along 30th Street hovered around 50,000 before the lanes went in. In the first full year after installation, that figure jumped to 114,682 rides — a staggering 120 per cent increase. Ridership hasn’t plateaued since. Counts rose another 1.7 per cent in 2023, 5.7 per cent in 2024 and 6.9 per cent in 2025, marking four straight years of growth.

  • Also many people don't think about what happens to male chicks.

  • One vaccine may provide broad protection against many respiratory infections and allergens

    Jump

  • I was hesitant to get the vaccine when I was just making a personal tradeoff. Seeing the whole "flatten the curve" catastrophe of COVID, and the resurgence of measles now, I think the major benefit is herd immunity / protecting vulnerable individuals.

  • One vaccine may provide broad protection against many respiratory infections and allergens

    Jump

  • Is it accurate to understand this as putting the lungs' immune response into a heightened state of response/alert? It doesn't sound like it's training the immune system about specific pathogens (or families of them). If that's true, why doesn't the body just do this already — is there a cost associated?

  • A good reminder that persistence can pay if even when it looks like a brick wall at first, thanks for sharing the conversation.

  • “Not Ready for Prime Time.” A Federal Tool to Check Voter Citizenship Keeps Making Mistakes: SAVE tool keeps mistakenly flagging voters as noncitizens

    Jump

  • From the article:

    At least seven states with a total of about 35 million registered voters have publicly reported the results of running their voter rolls through the system. Those searches have identified roughly 4,200 people — about 0.01% of registered voters — as noncitizens. This aligns with previous findings that noncitizens rarely register to vote.

  • An apartment caught fire yesterday in Queens, New York City. A man died because firefighters couldn't access the fire hydrant. A car is now parked on the same fire hydrant the day after this tragedy

    Jump

  • Maybe they did? It still would take critical time. But I agree it would be totally appropriate.

    it's just science

    Jump

  • Where do things stand with Hawking? What I could find says:

    Documents and photographs show that Hawking attended a scientific conference held on Epstein's island in 2006. At that time, Epstein had organized meetings on the island by inviting scientists and intellectuals. Hawking's visit took place in the context of this conference and is considered part of professional relationships in the scientific community.

  • AI agent writes blog post to shame a developer after he refused it's code contribution.

    Jump

  • And Ars published a piece about it — with AI hallucinated quotes attributed to the human maintainer. They have since retracted it.

    I was having a discussion related to this with my team at work: some of them are letting through poorly-reviewed AI code, and I find myself trying to figure out which code has had real human consideration, and which is straight from the agents net. Everyone said they closely review and own all the agentic code, but I don't really believe it.
