A dozen memes (in a thread) of the foreign policy moment: capitulation, surrender, losing the war.
🧵 1 of 3
#USpol #Iran #kegseth

A post by Molly Ploofkins titled "Understanding Trump's Surrender to Iran: A Quick Guide." The tweet contains a table comparing the Obama (JCPOA, 2015) and Trump (2026) agreements with Iran. The table has three columns: the first column lists categories such as Unfrozen Iranian assets, Iran's uranium stockpile, Iran's enrichment program, Iran sanctions, Hormuz Strait, American lives lost to get to deal, American injuries to get to deal, Direct costs to get to deal, Additional geopolitical risk,…
screenshot of a post by Oz Katerji @OzKaterji I also think it was obvious, basically everyone with sense said that Iran could win the war simply by outlasting US resolve, and they did precisely that. Trump basically thought the Iranians would fold like the Venezuelans did after Maduro, he was wrong. [quote post] Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom Unless you're an brain-wormed partisan, "Iran is an evil regime," "this preventive war was stupid and should never have been launched," and "this peace …
screenshot of a post by Michael McFaul @McFaul This agreement is far worse than I expected. To reopen the strait— a strait that was open before the war- we and our partners are transferring billions to the autocrats. We get nothing else— no elimination of enriched uranium, missiles, or terrorist support. And to add one final gift, we agree to not help the Iranian people pursue their democratic aspirations. Just incredible. [quote post] Farnaz Fassihi @farnazfassihi The full text of the …
screenshot of a post by Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly Donald Trump took us to war without a plan. Families have lost loved ones. Billions of dollars have been spent. For what? This "deal" he signed leaves Iran stronger and in control of the Strait, but does little to advance US interests. The "master deal maker" just made one of the worst deals in US history. This is a total capitulation! What's next, the Russians get Alaska? Jun 18, 2026 • 2:23 AM UTC

Still more reasons the AI boosters are full of as much shit as the AI itself.

I just wanted to update my resume. Instead, I accidentally proved how a multi-billion-dollar AI tool hallucinates a glass ceiling for women. I changed a single variable: My name. Here is what happened when "Jennifer" became "Jeff." I fed Gemini, Google's AI tool, my old resume, my current info, case studies, and the kinds of roles I wanted, and asked it to write me a new resume. Simple. Except it wasn’t. The first thing I noticed was the softening.

In just 7 months, Katalyst built the
400 kg LINK servicing spacecraft under a $30M NASA contract.
Its job: rendezvous with Swift, capture it with three robotic arms, and boost it to a higher, stable orbit.

In January, the New York Post first reported that the Labor Department's inspector general was looking into complaints that Chavez-DeRemer was having an affair with a subordinate, drinking alcohol on the job and using taxpayer-funded travel to visit with friends and family members.

"Dynamic electric vehicle charging incentives induce large shifts in both the timing and location of charging.
Incentives designed to shift charging toward peak solar generation periods result in a 34% increase in midday charging."

Two graphs show how the average charging demand decreases during the peak period (4pm–8pm) and how it increases during the sun soak period (10am–3pm), following the start of the incentive period

TIL that I've actually created a few "high impact" packages on NPM (with 1 million downloads per week)... Just got this email from them (see screenshot)
If each one of these would just pay me $0.001, I could actually comfortably dedicate myself full time to these projects (which has been my long, long dream job). But the system and social contract around open source is completely broken and so I've to balance my time and try to sustain myself and my family via other ways for periods o…

Guest author Peter Firmstone continues to explore and analyze the theme of #Security Baked Into the #JVM.
Today's focus in on the Safe Codebase #Audit

Security Baked Into the JVM: the Safe Codebase Audit Pipeline
In Part 1, the minimal deployment showed constraints traveling with the proxy: authentication, encryption, hardened deserialization, all declared in configuration and enforced at the call boundary. The proxy is a JAR. That JAR was downloaded and unmarshalled before any constraint ran. That step is the earlier problem. Distributed Java systems that load remote code are vulnerable to supply chain compromise: an attacker can replace a legitimate JAR with one containing malicious bytecode.

A woman named Lanna shared that she left the United States two-and-a-half years ago and is now living in Germany.
She recently got a job as a part-time barista to make some extra cash.
The experience, even before she has started the job, has “broken” her—but “in a good way.”
Per her residence permit, Lanna cannot work more than 20 hours per week.
Rather than a traditional interview, the employer had her come in for a “try-out day.”
At the end of it, she was surp…
