As the debate over the BBB moves to the Senate, the immediate imperative is to
expose the damage the bill does to millions of Trump’s voters
to benefit his Mar-a-Lago and crypto-wealthy friends.
But it’s also an occasion to shatter the illusion that Trump is some sort of policy innovator.
Extremism and authoritarianism are not new ideas, and his legislative program would be familiar to Calvin Coolidge. 

A New Working-Class GOP? If “Working-Class” Means $4.3 Million a Year!
Last year, Trump won praise for building a new GOP. But the Big, Beautiful Bill utterly shatters the illusion that he is some sort of brilliant policy innovator.

1984 on steroids.
"Needless to say, putting American data in the hands of a company whose CEO boasts about his company’s capacity to kill and intimidate doesn’t inspire confidence that the data will be handled responsibly."

A False Discovery Rate Control Method Using a Fully Connected Hidden Markov Random Field for Neuroimaging Data
False discovery rate (FDR) control methods are essential for voxel-wise multiple testing in neuroimaging data analysis, where hundreds of thousands or even millions of tests are conducted to detect brain regions associated with disease-related changes. Classical FDR control methods (e.g., BH, q-value, and LocalFDR) assume independence among tests and often lead to high false non-discovery rates (FNR). Although various spatial FDR control methods have been developed to improve power, they still …

Self-driving technologies need the help of the public: A narrative review of the evidence
If public trust is lot in a new technology early in its life cycle it can take much more time for the benefits of that technology to be realised. Eventually tens-of-millions of people will collectively have the power to determine self-driving technology success of failure driven by their perception of risk, data handling, safety, governance, accountability, benefits to their life and more. This paper reviews the evidence on safety critical technology covering trust, engagement, and acceptance. …

DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Code Base in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse
Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.
