That’s the New York Times, CNN, CNBC, NBC, and the Guardian all confidently telling their readers that Trump can magically override state sovereignty with a memo. These aren’t fringe blogs—these are supposedly serious news organizations with actual editors who apparently skipped the day they taught how the federal government works. They have failed the most simple journalistic test of “don’t print lies in the newspaper.”

Executive orders aren’t laws. They’re memos. Fancy, official memos that tell federal employees how to do their jobs, but memos nonetheless. You want to change what states can and can’t do? You need this little thing called “Congress” to pass this other little thing called “legislation.” Trump can’t just declare state laws invalid any more than he can declare himself emperor of Mars.

But here’s where this gets kinda funny (in a stupid way): that “interstate commerce” language could backfire spectacularly. Almost all state laws trying to regulate the internet—from child safety laws to age verification to the various attempts at content moderation laws—might run afoul of the dormant commerce clause by attempting to regulate interstate commerce if what the admin here claims is true (it’s not really true, but if the Supreme Court buys it…). Courts had been hesitant to use this nuclear option because it would essentially wipe out the entire patchwork of state internet regulation that’s been building for years, and a few decades of work in other areas that hasn’t really been challenged. Also, because they’ve mostly been able to invalidate those laws using the simple and straightforward First Amendment.

The real story here isn’t that Trump signed some groundbreaking AI policy—it’s that the entire mainstream media apparatus completely failed to understand the most basic principles of American government. Executive orders aren’t magic spells that override federalism. They’re memos.

Saturday's attack happened on the Palestinian-controlled side of the so-called Yellow Line which has divided Gaza since an unstable US-led ceasefire came into effect on 10 October.

Whalebrew creates aliases for Docker images so you can run them as if they were native commands. It's like Homebrew, but with Docker images.

The measles, mumps and rubella vaccine is safe and provides 97% protection against the disease after two doses. Most children in the U.S. are required to get the shot to attend school. But vaccination rates have declined as more parents waive the shots or have fallen behind on recommended vaccination schedules.

Starting today, self-service access to Reddit’s public data API will be closed. Anyone looking to build with Reddit data, whether you’re a developer, researcher, or moderator, will need to request approval before gaining access.

WTF?

Sphinx is cray cray:

Inside Python object description directives, reStructuredText field lists with these fields are recognized and formatted nicely:

param, parameter, arg, argument, key, keyword: Description of a parameter.

type: Type of a parameter. Creates a link if possible.

raises, raise, except, exception: That (and when) a specific exception is raised.

var, ivar, cvar: Description of a variable.

vartype: Type of a variable. Creates a link if possible.

returns, return: Description of the return value.

rtype: Return type. Creates a link if possible.

meta: Add metadata to description of the python object. The metadata will not be shown on output document. For example, :meta private: indicates the python object is private member. It is used in sphinx.ext.autodoc for filtering members.

Trump said at the roundtable, adding "this money would not be possible without tariffs."

Another way to spend the money that’s already been spent many times over.

MLPerf Client is a benchmark developed collaboratively at MLCommons to evaluate the performance of large language models (LLMs) and other AI workloads on personal computers–from laptops and desktops to workstations. By simulating real-world AI tasks it provides clear metrics for understanding how well systems handle generative AI workloads. The MLPerf Client working group intends for this benchmark to drive innovation and foster competition, ensuring that PCs can meet the challenges of the AI-powered future.

Common Expression Language (CEL) is an expression language that’s fast, portable, and safe to execute in performance-critical applications. CEL is designed to be embedded in an application, with application-specific extensions, and is ideal for extending declarative configurations that your applications might already use.

We introduce the Berkeley Function Calling Leaderboard (BFCL), the first comprehensive and executable function call evaluation dedicated to assessing Large Language Models' (LLMs) ability to invoke functions. Unlike previous evaluations, BFCL accounts for various forms of function calls, diverse scenarios, and executability.

In 2024, SWE-bench & SWE-agent helped kickstart the coding agent revolution.

We now ask: What if SWE-agent was 100x smaller, and still worked nearly as well?

mini is for

Researchers who want to benchmark, fine-tune or RL without assumptions, bloat, or surprises
Developers who like their tools like their scripts: short, sharp, and readable
Engineers who want something trivial to sandbox & to deploy anywhere

Here's some details:

Minimal: Just 100 lines of python (+100 total for env, model, script) — no fancy dependencies!
Powerful: Resolves >74% of GitHub issues in the SWE-bench verified benchmark (leaderboard).
Convenient: Comes with UIs that turn this into your daily dev swiss army knife!
Deployable: In addition to local envs, you can use docker, podman, singularity, apptainer, and more
Tested: Codecov
Cutting edge: Built by the Princeton & Stanford team behind SWE-bench and SWE-agent.

Rnj-1 is an 8B model that roughly follows the open-source Gemma 3 architecture. We employ global self-attention and YaRN to extend the context to 32k. The Rnj-1 Base and Instruct models compare favorably against similarly sized open weight models.

Rnj-1 Instruct dominates the pack on Agentic coding, one of our target abilities. SWE bench performance is indicative of the model's ability to tackle everyday software engineering tasks. We are an order of magnitude stronger than comparably sized models on SWE-bench and approach the capabilities available in much larger models (leaderboard: SWE-bench-Verified bash-only).

Today, the Commission has issued a fine of €120 million to X for breaching its transparency obligations under the Digital Services Act (DSA). The breaches include the deceptive design of its ‘blue checkmark', the lack of transparency of its advertising repository, and the failure to provide access to public data for researchers.

It is beyond belief that this is happening and tolerated in this country. 😭

The National Park Service will offer free admission to U.S. residents on President Donald Trump’s birthday next year — which also happens to be Flag Day — but is eliminating the benefit for Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth.
