Folarin Balogun is an American
and what Mike Johnson continues to make clear is that
he despises Americans.

Mike Johnson suggest birthright citizens like US Men's National Team leading scorer Folarin Balogun are trying to "transplant Sharia Law" into the country

This is just me venting.
I hate that if I want to lug a slightly smaller screen than my Surface Go to gaming, the iPad Mini behaves more like a tiny phone than my actual phone. With no way to tell DnD Beyond that there is plenty of real estate and to please use it.
I blame Apple / Safari here.

At this small scale, the attribution to #OpenStreetMap is unnecessary. But because people often omit the credit, it’s actually refreshing to see this proper use of OSM data by #DWNews (via #MapTiler).

CNN Blames 'Technical Issues' Channel Outage
CNN's channels went dark on Monday across multiple distribution points, a problem the news network attributed to a "technical issue" at parent company Warner Bros. Discovery.

EOLE Evento europeo sul diritto all'open source e al software libero. Workshop di apertura online domani 25 giugno 2026 (dalle 15:00 alle 17:30 CEST)
L'Europa ha riscoperto la "sovranitŠ" attraverso un'ondata di nuove regolamentazioni - Legge sulla resilienza informatica, Legge sull'IA, gare d'appalto per la sovranitŠ del cloud. EOLE 2026 adotta un punto di partenza opposto: il Software Libero, l'Open Source e l'IA aperta perseguono l'autonomia…

The thing about the "Iran hacks UK power station" story is that the details are sparse and the public attribution seemingly weak.
It's not like we haven't gone through years of UK hacks being blamed on nation states and then later revealed to have been a teenager in Cardiff or whatever.

Which Model Is Actually Serving You? IRIS: Budgeted Black-Box Auditing of Model Substitution and Routing Dilution in LLM Gateways

Abstract: Commercial LLM gateways mediate access to hosted models, but the served backend may not match the advertised one: it may substitute a cheaper model on every request or route only a fraction $\epsilon$ of requests to it. Prior black-box auditors often need a privileged signal (log-probabilities, token ranks, or reference samples) or a target-specific probe, fix the query budget in advance, and return a yes/no verdict. We present $\mathrm{IRIS}$, an audit that needs only the returned text: it asks endpoints to generate random numbers or strings, fingerprints the backend, and is the first to combine, in one text-only audit, detection of whole-stream substitution and fractional dilution, attribution of the served backend, routing-fraction ($\epsilon$) estimation, and a query budget it sizes itself. A cheap pilot fits the exponential query-error decay and freezes that budget before any suspect query is issued. On an intra-family Qwen3 ladder $\mathrm{IRIS}$ verifies the backend at $0.99$ AUROC and sharpens attribution as queries accumulate; across a commercial OpenRouter library it catches $\epsilon{=}0.3$ dilution on margin-qualified pairs at $0.85$ mean power ($0.017$ false-positive rate) and recovers $\epsilon$ to within $0.04$ for enrolled diluents; and a live cross-provider audit flags $14$ of $15$ same-model provider pairs by genuine quantization and kernel deviations, corroborated on third-party MET traces. Against comparable black-box auditors, $\mathrm{IRIS}$ matches or beats detection on shared tasks, and adaptive allocation lifts the matched-budget target-hit rate from $73$% to $87$%. Further experiments cover adversarial gateways, knob identifiability, unseen diluents, and false-positive control.
