How Rust Views Tradeoffs
Stephen Klabnik takes a look at some tradeoffs in the design of Rust, and how that makes it more suitable for some kinds of projects than others.

Has there ever been a scene of witches flying around on brooms in a movie that has realistic acceleration physics etc?
I'm picturing a pair of witches in tight formation at high altitude making a steep dive to pick up speed, then pull out at treetop height, a high G turn to line up for a low pass over a bunch of trick-or-treaters, then maybe getting a ping on their RWR when some grownups come into view.

Incentive-Aligned Multi-Source LLM Summaries
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used in modern search and answer systems to synthesize multiple, sometimes conflicting, texts into a single response, yet current pipelines offer weak incentives for sources to be accurate and are vulnerable to adversarial content. We introduce Truthful Text Summarization (TTS), an incentive-aligned framework that improves factual robustness without ground-truth labels. TTS (i) decomposes a draft synthesis into atomic claims, (ii) elicits each sourc…

When Simple is Enough, Binary Models Capture Social Complexity in Coupled Human-Environment Systems
Models of coupled human-environment systems often face a tradeoff between realism and tractability. Spectrum opinion models, where social preferences vary continuously, offer descriptive richness but are computationally demanding and parameter-heavy. Binary formulations, in contrast, are analytically simpler but raise concerns about whether they can capture key socio-ecological feedbacks. Here we systematically compare binary and spectrum social models across four benchmark settings: (i) replic…

Mid-IR Light Modulators Enabled by Dynamically Tunable Ultra High-Q Silicon Membrane Metasurfaces
Metasurfaces have emerged as a powerful platform to control free-space light at the subwavelength scale, enabling applications in sensing, lasing, nonlinear optics, and quantum photonics. However, their practical deployment is hindered by two key limitations: a tradeoff between low-Q resonances and weak amplitude contrast, and their predominantly static nature allowing only passive functionalities. These challenges are further aggravated in the application-relevant mid-infrared (mid-IR) range, …

Respect. (Updated with statement)
Guilbeault isn't perfect and had to go along with a lot of things, like TMX under Trudeau. But it is clear there were tradeoffs... I am willing to bet a northern pipeline and tanker ban was one of those tradeoffs for agreeing to buy TMX.
He should join the NDP or Greens.
