Another null reference bug to add to CAR Hoare's tally.

lol was watching batman this morning and got hit with "ignore all previous instructions"

This is pretty good. I've seen some abysmal CSAT scores for enterprise SaaS.

Don't forget that if you renounce American citizenship you have to pay an exit tax.

Reminded me of the dark ages when we would pay for ringtones.

Unironically, stimulus checks.

Dear Valued ORCA Customer, You are receiving this message because your ORCA card was used to ride the Seattle Center Monorail this year, and we wanted you to be aware of an upcoming change on that service. Effective January 1, 2026, Monorail fares paid with ORCA E-purse will no longer receive a free 2-hour transfer credit. This means each Monorail ride will require full fare payment, even if it occurs within two hours of another ORCA ride. You can still use your ORCA card to pay for Monorail fares. There is no change for trips paid with a Monthly PugetPass or Regional Day Pass – these products will continue to be accepted as they are today.

This die hard ORCA e-purse user says: Booooooooooooo!

And we're back to 5 years ago when he also aced the test.

Some good news for a change. It's one step closer to breaking the tax prep oligopoly and, who knows, one day have pre-populated tax returns.

A red flag with white text: "We do this not because it is easy, but because we thought it would be easy"

Many such cases

I'd wait until we have third-party attested data before making any conclusions.

I know it won't happen but it would be hilarious if Hegseth ended up being the one recalled to active duty and court martialed for war crimes.

7/7 The report (p. 27): www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/publica...

6/7 Cesium-137 is a highly soluble salt—throwing it into the river would have instantly dissolved the radiation into the water supply. W.F. arrived literally seconds before first responders poisoned the entire city's water for generations.

5/7 From the IAEA report: "W.F. arrived just in time to dissuade the fire brigade from their initial intention of picking up the source and throwing it into a river."

4/7 In the chaos of discovery, authorities almost made a decision that would have turned a local tragedy into a regional environmental collapse. A physicist, identified as W.F., raced to the Sanitary Surveillance office with a Geiger counter that was already maxing out from blocks away.

3/7 The city had to be scrubbed. Houses were demolished, topsoil removed, and thousands of people screened for radiation. Buried in the dry, technical language of the official IAEA report is a detail that reveals how close this was to being an apocalypse.

2/7 They punctured the capsule, releasing 93 grams of glowing blue Cesium-137 chloride. Fascinated by the "supernatural" light, they took it home, rubbed it on their skin, and shared it with friends. The result was catastrophic: 4 deaths, 249 contaminated, and widespread panic.

A photograph of the radioactive source involved in the 1987 accident in Goiânia, Brazil. The cesium source was sold to a junkyard, whose owner cut open its protective steel and lead casing. Inside he was fascinated to discover the radioactive powder that glittered and glowed blue in the dark. The cesium chloride spread undetected for over two weeks. Some 250 people were contaminated and four died in the first month. The event focused international attention on the issue of safety standards for radioactive sources. Its lessons still shape national and global actions decades later. (Goiânia, Brazil, 6 October 2007) Photo Credit: IAEA, sourced from Wikimedia Commons.

This Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for the physicist Walter Mendes Ferreira:

1/7 The Goiânia accident (1987) is one of the world’s most terrifying radiological disasters. Scavengers in Brazil broke into an abandoned radiotherapy clinic and stole a source capsule, thinking the scrap metal was valuable.

USCIS post on X Nov 26, 2025: "Effective immediately, processing of all immigration requests relating to Afghan nationals is stopped indefinitely pending further review of security and vetting protocols. The protection and safety of our homeland and of the American people remains our singular focus and mission."

I don't see how this as a dunk. They are already capitalizing on it.

"Uses the same modalities as humans to interact with computers - no accessibility trees or separate parsing models required" This just in: blind, low vision, low mobility people are stripped from their humanity.

Screenshot of section of README. "What Makes Fara-7B Unique Unlike traditional chat models that generate text-based responses, Fara-7B leverages computer interfaces—mouse and keyboard—to perform multi-step tasks on behalf of users. The model: Operates visually by perceiving webpages and taking actions like scrolling, typing, and clicking on directly predicted coordinates Uses the same modalities as humans to interact with computers—no accessibility trees or separate parsing models required."

What a depressive state of affairs. I was hopeful of a surge in investments on accessibility to ensure that language models could interact with applications effectively but looks like I was wrong. github.com/microsoft/fara
