Virtually all of the most important parts of the U.S. government that were created to protect the U.S. from the greatest risks we face
are being shut down, gutted, or marginalized.
What is more, plans and statements of the president and his advisers suggest further cuts are contemplated
that increase the likelihood that one or more crises will catch us unawares
🔥and that when that happens, we will be much less equipped to handle it than we have been in decades.

We Better Pray That No Unexpected Crisis Hits While Trump Is President
It’s a world exploding with crises waiting to happen. Donald Trump has made us less prepared for every one of them.

Sonnet 113 - CXIII
Since I left you, mine eye is in my mind;
And that which governs me to go about
Doth part his function and is partly blind,
Seems seeing, but effectually is out;
For it no form delivers to the heart
Of bird, of flower, or shape which it doth latch:
Of his quick objects hath the mind no part,
Nor his own vision holds what it doth catch;
For if it see the rud'st or gentlest sight,
The most sweet favour or deform…

Neurotechnology that can read and interpret brain activity is rapidly entering the mainstream market with no regulatory oversight, writes Virginia Mahieu.

Do you subscribe to a podcast that has over 800 episodes out and publishes 3 episodes/week?
My first reaction is to feel this is too overwhelming.
No way will I try to catch up.
Even worse, I won’t be able to keep up with it at 3 episodes/week.
Even if I’m possibly interested, the above two reasons make me question if it’s worth trying.

Slept through it. Catch-up couldn't go beyond 2 AM (#WWDC25 was at 1 AM SGT) because reached the 800 limit on Mastodon 🤦‍♂️
Maybe Mastodon should limit it by time duration or something instead.

Quanta Magazine's Stephen Ornes describes a novel algorithm that can factor large numbers using only one qubit. The technique relies on quantum oscillation, and although it has a catch (the larger the number being factored the more energy the oscillators expend), the work points to new ways to perform quantum computing.
"New Quantum Algorithm Factors Numbers With One Qubit
-The catch: It would require the energy of a few medium-size stars."

I agree entirely with Rich.

Noninvasive ultrasound technique can spot bad batteries before they malfunction
A recent uptick in battery-related fires has drawn attention to the challenge of identifying defects that can cause these catastrophic malfunctions, but are rarely obvious to the naked eye. In hopes of preventing the dangerous glitches that can cause batteries to overheat and catch fire, researchers from Drexel University have developed a standard testing process to give manufacturers a better look at the internal workings of batteries.

#SGDQ2025 starts today!
For those who haven't heard of it, it's a charity marathon steam (plus in-person event for many of the runners) that raises money for Medicines Sans Frontiers (Doctors Without Borders). Some of the best runners in the world speedrun games for an entire week, and while there's sometimes cringey moments, it's overall an LBGTQ-inclusive space with a thoughtful core team, and there are always going to be a ton of epic and/or hilarious moments throughout the week.
Check out the schedule page to see if any games you love are on it, and you can always catch VODs on YouTube after the fact if you miss something good.
I was going to post some games I'm looking forward to, but it seems like the schedule & main page are down right now. Hope it's not a DDoS...

Fortunately, our train went first, so I could easily transfer at the main station.

There are now a multitude of AI-scribing solutions for healthcare promising the utilization of large language models for ambient documentation.
