Cursor seems like a major safety issue to me. Particularly around hot-reloaded code. It will edit things without your permission, save them to disk and only then ask you if you want to undo the changes it already made. Your entire system could crash before you can hit the undo. Or worse.

Cases of migrants caught in new military zones on the U.S.-Mexico border have been stalled over legal confusion, and lawyers and a U.S. senator on Wednesday raised concerns over whether people actually know when they are entering the zones.

There is an odd lack of analysis around this story. Trump paid Bukele to hold these people. Is Bukele stabbing Trump in the back or was this part of the plan between them all along? The latter seems unlikely since it'd probably enable many to return to the US.
