I get that OAuth is not supported natively over ssh, but IDEs should find a way to work it out when it works perfectly fine with local files. I currently have two Zed windows open because I don’t want to use an API key when I have a paid plan with Codex. It’s needless friction.

The article in that rag about Jewish parents complaining that their kids have a moral backbone is hilarious. One of life’s great joys is seeing just how out of touch and incompetent these ghouls are.

Google’s lead in LLMs is not because they know how to design or innovate on a product, but mostly because they’re an aggregator. Using their APIs makes that patently obvious.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

2/The continuing treatment of Summers as some sort of Peer of the Realm (to use a phrase I take from Sam Haselby) is unacceptable by the economics profession if it serious about addressing the problems documented at the time Casselman wrote. These problems continue today of course.

![Al Jazeera Arabic’s “What’s Hidden is Greater” documentary investigation says it has identified the Israeli soldiers and officers directly involved in the killing of 6-year-old Hind Rajab, her family, and the ambulance crew who tried to save her.
➤ The report names officers from Israel’s 401st Armored Brigade, including battalion commander Lt. Col. Daniel Ela and field officer Maj. Sean Glass, who allegedly ordered tank fire on the family car in Gaza City’s Tel al-Hawa district.
➤ The soldiers belonged to a unit calling itself “Vampire Empire,” described as partly made up of foreign and dual-national troops. One member, Itay Shukirkov, is an Argentine-Israeli now facing a legal complaint in Argentina.
➤ Evidence analyzed by Forensic Architecture and satellite imagery located the tank within roughly 400 meters of the car and ruled out any cross-fire.
➤ The Brussels-based Hind Rajab Foundation has filed war-crimes cases at the International Criminal Court and in several national courts, calling the findings “proof of command responsibility in a civilian massacre.”
