We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

Congrats FIRST Robotics Competition #FRC Team 2702 on placing 3rd at the Ontario District University of Waterloo event last weekend and clinching a spot at the provincial championship in April. High school students and adult mentors design and build a robot and compete in a new challenge every year.

It's small potatoes in the face of everything else, but I hope every convention that can be international goes to locales other than the U.S. for the foreseeable future. I hate that it's this way. But it's simply unsafe for travelers.
It's difficult to recommend anyone visit the US these days.

This is exactly why Canadians are fed up with US media.
A segment on Canadians cancelling Vermont vacations. Mentions tariffs but not (1) who started the trade war or (2) that the US is constantly threatening to ANNEX our country!
This isn’t MAGA. It’s not FOX. It’s a random NBC affiliate.

America is over. There is no coming back from this.
If we're lucky maybe we claw back some small-l liberalism for our daily lives. But even that might be too much to hope for.
The rest of the world has to move on from us.
They now know that the American people can't be trusted.
They're right.
