The U.S. invaded another country and potentially destabilized an entire continent (maybe up to three) to execute an arrest warrant based on U.S. laws that have no jurisdiction there.

I won't debate people on conforming with the moral standards set by the far right, because every time a moderate feels the need to condemn a statement that was “inciting violence”, the truth comes out that their so-called violence was a media framing oddly applied to them with a bad-faith reading of their words.

Little JavaScript tip:
You know you can comment out code to quickly disable it:
```js
/*

```
But did you know you can also use a labelled block with a break statement to do the same thing in a more flexible manner?

break disable
console.log(‘I wont’t run’)
}
```
Then, you can quickly the move the `break disable` to different lines to execute different bits of code wit…

Introduction to CSS if Statements and Conditional Logic
Conditional logic is a familiar concept to anyone who has written a programming language. Languages like JavaScript or Python use if/else statements to evaluate expressions and execute different blocks of code depending on whether the condition is true or false.

Trump’s endless web of lies
In 1993, I was sixteen and a brand new driver when I was pulled over for going six miles over the speed limit at the bottom of a steep hill. It was the first time I’d ever been stopped by a police officer. And I was so nervous I started to shake because I didn’t understand what was happening. I didn’t realize I had picked up that much speed. The officer was hostile and irritated by my shaking hands as I passed him my license and registration. So much so that he made me get out of the car …

AgentCgroup: Understanding and Controlling OS Resources of AI Agents

Abstract: AI agents are increasingly deployed in multi-tenant cloud environments, where they execute diverse tool calls within sandboxed containers, each call with distinct resource demands and rapid fluctuations. We present a systematic characterization of OS-level resource dynamics in sandboxed AI coding agents, analyzing 144 software engineering tasks from the SWE-rebench benchmark across two LLM models. Our measurements reveal that (1) OS-level execution (tool calls, container and agent initialization) accounts for 56-74% of end-to-end task latency; (2) memory, not CPU, is the concurrency bottleneck; (3) memory spikes are tool-call-driven with a up to 15.4x peak-to-average ratio; and (4) resource demands are highly unpredictable across tasks, runs, and models. Comparing these characteristics against serverless, microservice, and batch workloads, we identify three mismatches in existing resource controls: a granularity mismatch (container-level policies vs. tool-call-level dynamics), a responsiveness mismatch (user-space reaction vs. sub-second unpredictable bursts), and an adaptability mismatch (history-based prediction vs. non-deterministic stateful execution). We propose AgentCgroup , an eBPF-based resource controller that addresses these mismatches through hierarchical cgroup structures aligned with tool-call boundaries, in-kernel enforcement via sched_ext and memcg_bpf_ops, and runtime-adaptive policies driven by in-kernel monitoring. Preliminary evaluation demonstrates improved multi-tenant isolation and reduced resource waste.

Selling Privacy in Blockchain Transactions

Abstract: We study methods to enhance privacy in blockchain transactions from an economic angle. We consider mechanisms for privacy-aware users whose utility depends not only on the outcome of the mechanism but also negatively on the exposure of their economic preferences. Specifically, we study two auction-theoretic settings with privacy-aware users. First, we analyze an order flow auction, where a user auctions off to specialized agents, called searchers, the right to execute her transaction while maintaining a degree of privacy. We examine how the degree of privacy affects the revenue of the auction and, broadly, the net utility of the privacy-aware user. In this new setting, we describe the optimal auction, which is a sealed-bid auction. Subsequently, we analyze a variant of a Dutch auction in which the user gradually decreases the price and the degree of privacy until the transaction is sold. We compare the revenue of this auction to that of the optimal one as a function of the number of communication rounds. Then, we introduce a two-sided market - a privacy marketplace - with multiple users selling their transactions under their privacy preferences to multiple searchers. We propose a posted-price mechanism for the two-sided market that guarantees constant approximation of the optimal social welfare while maintaining incentive compatibility (from both sides of the market) and budget balance. This work builds on the emerging line of research that attempts to improve the performance of economic mechanisms by appending cryptographic primitives to them.

The Iranian government offered no explanation of the decision to shut its airspace amid the tensions with Washington over Tehran’s protest crackdown.
