NEW: breach of Discord age verification data.

Including some users passports & DLs

Age verification is a badly implemented data grab wrapped in a moral panic.

Mark my words, as age verification mandates expand, we'll end up more surveilled and less secure. 1/

Here’s the thing: Mets games are fun to watch because the team is good, but they’re also fun to watch because they look good and are fun to listen to. It’s incredible overall entertainment in a way that other baseball teams just aren’t doing.

Animated demo. Starts with a 3D 9x9 grass plain, I then start adding blocks to it in rock and wood and glass and rotating it to see it from different angles.

My notes on how it works here. It uses radio boxes for state, paused animations for controlling the viewport simonwillison.net/2025/May/26/...

If you read @byroot.bsky.social 's "What's the deal with Ractors?", and were bummed at how poorly they handled JSON parsing, then @jhawthorn.com has brightened your day!

Frozen interned strings are now stored in a lock-free hash, making the Ractor example 2x faster than the single-threaded example!

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

I had a front row seat to watch 18F get started a dozen years ago by some of the smartest and most dedicated public servants I’ve ever met. Their work saved countless lives, and yes, hundreds of millions, probably billions, of dollars. But just as significantly: it made government more responsive.

The real issue here is embedded in the "AGI" stuff, that continues to hang over the space.

Having watched this in the AV space, here's the deal: if you can't define the value of your technological product in quantifiable terms, you can't charge a premium for it and it becomes a race to the bottom.

My favorite fact about the NYC subway is that there are way more daily riders (about 4 million) than the number of people who fly in the US out of all airports every day (~2.5 million). The scale is hard to get a grasp on.

DHS has terminated the memberships of everyone on its advisory committees.

This includes several cyber committees, like CISA's advisory panel and the Cyber Safety Review Board, which was investigating Salt Typhoon.

That review is "dead," person familiar says.
