@cdarwin@c.imIn Nevada, Republicans are seeking to flip a southern Clark County district that covers part of Las Vegas.
Democratic Rep. Susie Lee,
who won reelection in 2024 as Trump carried the district,
faces Republican Marty O’Donnell,
who won Trump’s backing.
The race is rated as competitive by Cook, with a “lean Democratic” rating that very slightly favors Lee;
Republicans hope strong turnout in support of Nevada GOP Gov. Joe Lombardo,

Apple has issued another complaint asking the country's independent judicial body to intervene.
In 2024, the UK reworked its laws to give it the authority to not only legally, but also secretly, demand Apple help it spy on iPhone users around the world.
Following US complaints, the UK backed down, only to try again in October 2025.

@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.ioToday I found a open source thing for doing _exactly what I needed_ but then it didn't work and I inspected the source code and found that it uses services that are no longer online.
Turns out it was all vibe-coded and the LLM referenced services that are long dead presumably because the training data ends with 2024 or so and it just assumed the services are still up.
The person doing the vibe coding didn't bother to check. Now the code is up on Github and you get recommend to use it by search engines. Great stuff.
@iam_jfnklstrm@social.linux.pizzaHur otippat, från SCB "Ojämställda inkomster för sysselsatta kvinnor och män med funktionsnedsättning
Kvinnor och män med funktionsnedsättning utgör drygt en av tio i arbetande ålder och ungefär hälften var sysselsatta under 2024. De som var sysselsatta hade lägre nettoinkomst jämfört med sysselsatta personer i övriga befolkningen. Kvinnor med funktionsnedsättning hade allra lägst nettoinkomst bland de som var sysselsatta. "

@toxi@mastodon.thi.ngLess than two measly years ago, OpenAI and Microsoft agreed on a "novel" definition of AGI:
"The two companies reportedly signed an agreement last year stating OpenAI has only achieved AGI when it develops AI systems that can generate at least $100 billion in profits. That’s far from the rigorous technical and philosophical definition of AGI many expect."

@cdarwin@c.imSince China offered a truce in the trade war last October following its threat to deprive the United States of rare-earth magnets,
the Trump administration has been happy to stop escalating.
After all, imports from China have been falling, down by 40% in the year to June, compared with the same period in 2024.
Best to declare victory and call it a day.
But the US hasn’t won this battle
