Canada’s measles setback is a symptom of deeper sickness
It's a policy failure. But it can still be reversed.

Small thing, but I like that European electrical codes aren’t so prescriptive about where outlets are placed. In this bedroom in the US, you’d need one duplex outlet per wall, inevitably placing one (and only one) on the wall of the bed, but behind the bed frame rather than next to it

It's too easy to be distracted by the economic story of the day. The more important story is of our system fraying: The rule of law is decaying, Bribery spreading, crony capitalism normalized. It won’t show up in next quarter’s data, but when our kids try to build their lives.

Breaking WSJ:

Fannie Mae watchdogs who were removed from their jobs had been probing if Trump appointee Bill Pulte had improperly obtained mortgage records of key Democratic officials, including New York Attorney General Letitia James, according to people familiar with the matter.

As AIs get smarter & more useful, our benchmarks become less useful. Measuring general knowledge or coding ability gives us only a glimpse into what an AI model can do.

Anyone who wants to use AI seriously for real work will need to assess it themselves. www.oneusefulthing.org/p/giving-you...

It's Tuesday. It's November. And it's been awhile. So lets tell the story about the eel, the scheming wife who ate it, and the talking magpie that ratted her out!

That's right! It's time for the eel tale from the 1370s blockbuster hit, "The Book of the Knight of the Tower." 1/5
