AI. I’m not a die-hard fan, and I’m not against it either. My feeling is that, used wisely, it can bring real benefits. For example, I use Day One for journaling. I am finding that the AI creator in there is very useful as I can talk or write to it as I go along through the day, and I miss less.

The entire Trump administration’s motto mirrors Mark Zuckerberg’s adage to
“move fast, break things,”
in this case literally.
Hegseth’s aggression, recklessness and blatant disregard for expertise is nothing new.
When he served as a 1st Lieutenant in Iraq in 2005-2006, …

Move fast, break things

As Trump fans the flames of a world on fire, can diplomacy take back control?
Amid the chaos, havoc and war caused by a capricious and amoral US president, countries are waking up to the dangers of being excluded and abused by America

I proposed a new feature for the next release of OpenAPI (which will be 3.3, in case you aren't following our every move): externalLinks is like externalDocs but you can have more than one link to an external resource.
