1. The thing about science that these jokers don't understand is that science cannot be vibe-coded.
Whatever its flaws, the point with vibe coding is that you're trying to quickly make something that sorta works, where you can immediately sorta see if it sorta works and then sorta use it.

AI leading to spamming of every public repository of human knowledge you can think of is a huge problem and so far I've seen zero good solutions
This is even starting to happen to open source projects and Karpathy just predicted it's going to happen to GitHub itself

We’re getting so many journal submissions from people who think ‘it kinda works’ is the standard to aim for.

Had my annual physical today. Doctor said I was fine but to be aware that Mercury was in Uranus. I told him I didn’t believe in astrology. He said neither did he, but he'd had an accident with his thermometer.

Experts who reviewed these rules told me the little changes mattered.
"Anywhere they have changed 'prohibited' or 'must' to 'should be' or 'can be' — that is a loosening of regulation. That's a big change in words, in meaning," Emily Caffrey told me.

The rewrite was done to speed up the construction of a new generation of nuclear reactors. Critics warn it could compromise safety and public trust.

If any of Alex Pretti's colleagues at the VA speak out in support of him, they could be fired by Trump. Gov employees cant criticize the government even when they are being murdered by the government. Hundreds of thousands of health care professionals are being silenced for fear of losing their job.

75 years ago today, the United States conducted the first of 100 aboveground nuclear tests in Nevada, leading to the blanketing of most of the continental United States (and parts of Canada and Mexico) with significant radioactive fallout over the next 11 years.

This is happening! An NH friend of mine lives just across the river from Maine and works over there sometimes. He said the locals are already picking out ICE agents at restaurants and bars, on the streets and at stores to berate them and run them off. Mariners will just say people are "from away"
Hey, let’s go to Maine in the dead of winter, a time of year that certainly won’t make us more recognizable to a populace that has the ability to spot an out-of-stater from 500 yards away.

And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.
ICE Says Critical Evidence In Abuse Case Was Lost In 'System Crash' a Day After It Was Sued
The government also said "we don't have resources" to retain all footage and that plaintiffs could supply "endless hard drives that we could save things to."
