I don't understand what this is for. It looks misaligned and it doesn't say anything that isn't already said by the number of replies below. I suspect it started showing up by accident ...

mayor bowser please look at these numbers and fix the billion dollar hole in DC's budget republicans created in the coolest way possible
Some stats from 100 days in on congestion pricing:
- Complaints about car-honking are down 70%
- The Holland Tunnel has 65% fewer delays at rush hour; time to get thru it is down 48%
- 6 million fewer cars
- Half as many traffic-related injuries
- 1.5 million more visitors to BIDs year over year
How Well Is Congestion Pricing Doing? Very.
One hundred days in, honking is down; bus speeds are up.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but
2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but
3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So
4. Now the LLM code points to malware.
LLMs hallucinating nonexistent software packages with plausible names leads to a new malware vulnerability: "slopsquatting."
LLMs can't stop making up software dependencies and sabotaging everything
: Hallucinated package names fuel 'slopsquatting'

Listening to @emilyliu.me doing an amazing job describing the benefits of an open protocol to a room full of non-technical journalists. It’s such a hard thing to do - but real examples and relatable stories go a long way. #atprotocol #bluesky
Really really great to see the open social web in the big hall at #ijf25.

The future is a web of branching paths, and each choice opens up new possibilities as it closes others. This is as true for a civilization as it is for an individual. The more our collective intelligence can inform each choice, the better our chances of finding paths through to a beautiful future.
