WASHINGTON, D.C. (August 1, 2025) – The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) announced today that it will begin an orderly wind-down of its operations following the passage of a federal rescissions package and the release of the Senate Appropriations Committee’s FY 2026 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies (Labor-H) appropriations bill, which excludes funding for CPB for the first time in more than five decades.

Gary White, the #Buffalo custom hatter who made hats for Indiana Jones, The Untouchables, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and other films (and two for me), has died:

Hats Off to Gary White, who Outfitted the stars with Custom Hats for Upwards of 50 Years - Buffalo Rising
Buffalo’s legendary custom hatter, Gary White, has passed away. White, who made hats for upwards of 50 years, was widely known for creating spec hats for the film industry, including notable films such as Dick Tracy, The Untouchables, Tombstone, and Indiana Jones. In a world where the art of making custom hats is becoming more and more obscure, Buffalo was certainly lucky to have Gary and his business – The Custom Hatter – around for so long. For decades, Gary

Four in five developers use AI tools in their workflow in 2025
—a portion that has been rapidly growing in recent years.
That said, "trust in the accuracy of AI has fallen from 40 percent in previous years to just 29 percent this year."
The disparity between those two metrics illustrates the evolving and complex impact of AI tools like GitHub Copilot or Cursor on the profession.
There's relatively little debate among developers that the tools are or oug…

Developer survey shows trust in AI coding tools is falling as usage rises
“AI solutions that are almost right, but not quite” lead to more debugging work.

> Two years ago, the Flemish Roads Agency (AWV) announced the introduction of the new system: via an app on your smartphone, you can get a traffic light to turn green more quickly.

200,000 Flemish drivers can turn traffic lights green, but Waze and Google Maps are holding matters up | VRT NWS: news
Over the past 2 years, 230 intersections in Flanders were equipped with “intelligent traffic lights”, lights that take into account how busy roads are. Today 200,000 motorists and other road users possess an app that can control such lights. But because the most popular traffic apps like Google Maps and Waze are not participating in the project, the system only reaches a small proportion of drivers and cyclists.

(Did you know that in the original stage version of The Sound of Music, the thing that finally breaks Captain von Trapp’s engagement to the baroness isn’t the vague, wishy-washy “noble unstated feelings” scene that’s in the movie (and which never worked in my view, despite the actors giving it their all); it’s that the baroness tries to convince him to go along with the Nazis because there’s nothing he can do, and he decides he can’t marry a woman with no convictions. They cut the song from the film: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Way_t)
