So @… announced an upgrade for #ActionText with "No #Trix".

Jorge Manrubia
A huge editor upgrade is in the works for Action Text. No Trix, no House, no Tiptap, no ProseMirror. A drop-in replacement that will take rich text editing to the next level in Rails, and lay a foundation far better than anything we ever had with Trix. We will start using it internally in the new product this week. We’ll test, we’ll polish, and we’ll ship. (Yes, I’m shamelessly teasing here. And yes, I am VERY excited about this one)

Towards Provable (In)Secure Model Weight Release Schemes
Recent secure weight release schemes claim to enable open-source model distribution while protecting model ownership and preventing misuse. However, these approaches lack rigorous security foundations and provide only informal security guarantees. Inspired by established works in cryptography, we formalize the security of weight release schemes by introducing several concrete security definitions. We then demonstrate our definition's utility through a case study of TaylorMLP, a prominent secure…

Extracting Interpretable Models from Tree Ensembles: Computational and Statistical Perspectives
Tree ensembles are non-parametric methods widely recognized for their accuracy and ability to capture complex interactions. While these models excel at prediction, they are difficult to interpret and may fail to uncover useful relationships in the data. We propose an estimator to extract compact sets of decision rules from tree ensembles. The extracted models are accurate and can be manually examined to reveal relationships between the predictors and the response. A key novelty of our estimator…

Trump was struggling Wednesday to contain the fallout from his administration’s decision not to release the Epstein files,
as a House subcommittee for the first time voted to subpoena the administration for the files
and a Florida court declined to release grand jury testimony from the case.

Three House Republicans supported a measure introduced by Rep. Summer Lee (D-Pennsylvania) to demand the Justice Department release the files.
Under House rules, the full commi…

Trump struggles to contain furor over Epstein as House lawmakers seek subpoenas
Republicans struggled to contain the fallout over the Epstein files, as House Democrats sought to take advantage of the issue while they head home on recess.

Anysphere launches Bugbot, an AI-powered tool that integrates with GitHub to detect coding errors introduced by humans or AI agents, for $40 per month per user (Lauren Goode/Wired)

Cursor’s New Bugbot Is Designed to Save Vibe Coders From Themselves
One of the most popular platforms for AI-assisted programming says the next era of vibe coding is all about supercharging error detection.

Om Malik writes: “I have been talking about this for a very long time, but the establishment media is always the last to realize their own existential threats. Just as they were slow to recognize the emergence of blogs, social media, and how Facebook was a chimera, they have been slow to realize that the old “destination internet” as a behavioral construct is over.”
In my opinion, these threats are ignored or kicked down the road due to management pressure (“we can’t invest into ...”) combined with peer pressure (“… while everyone else is doing X”).
The result is usually:
