Health authorities in France reported the first-ever recorded human infection and death associated with the Shamonda virus.
The patient passed away in a hospice in Lyon and was reportedly already suffering from a serious underlying illness.

An article on the Fall of Scientific American.
Scientific publishers should be independent. But:
"Springer Nature felt that Scientific American’s criticism of Trump was threatening their broader business—selling subscriptions to their scientific journals. The federal government was a major client."

I’m a fan (given many other terrible efforts). Especially the row grouping.

Sortable Tables with Progressive Enhancement
My table-sortable web component adds accessible, customizable sorting to ordinary HTML tables while keeping their core structure and semantics intact.

CorridorKey 2.0 was released. (local ML model for chromakey greenscreen removal.)
this time a friendly machine learning expert helped train the model with a bunch of useful video ML lore, giving the model some semantic, spatial, and temporal info per pixel. training was apparently on local hardware? maybe some cloud model was used in coding assistance, unclear.
