The BBC is seeking to subpoena Donald Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr.,

Lawyers for the BBC say the Trump family members “without question have personal knowledge” about Trump’s intentions in delivering the speech at the heart of the case:

Security Vulnerability Patterns in AI-Generated Code: A Cross-Model Comparative Study
Shanna M. Kahn, John D. Hastings
https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.20713 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2607.20713 https://arxiv.org/html/2607.20713
arXiv:2607.20713v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: LLM-based coding tools enable non-expert users to generate routine automation scripts that may enter enterprise workflows without meaningful security review. This study examines that risk directly. Code was collected from ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Google Gemini using identical prompts across three automation domains. Claude Code performed a standardized vulnerability review. Each identified vulnerability was scored using CVSS v3.1 and mapped to the OWASP Top 10:2021 and the MITRE ATT&CK frameworks. Every script contained exploitable vulnerabilities. Nine of the 17 identified vulnerability classes appeared in code from all three models, while 14 of the 17 vulnerability classes appeared in at least two models. The weighted CVSS scores across platforms differed by less than 10%. The risk is not tied to any particular model but rather to the task category. Organizations should therefore ask not which tool to trust, but instead whether LLM-generated automation code should be deployed without review.

“The closures were the result of months of analysis and a careful review by ‌Capital One’s AML team in accordance with bank policies and regulatory guidance.”

Making a Game in Janet, Part 3: The problem with macros
So we’re supposed to be writing a game, right? But in order to make progress, we have to fix a bug. And in order to fix the bug, we have to write a test. And in order to write a test, we have to write a test framework. And in order to write a test framework, we have to understand a thing or two about macros. Okay. So, caveat: I am not a lisp person.
