For all its naysayers Gutenberg is a game changer for digital news apps. Its a force multiplier for your team. We've spent the last 3 years going "all in" on block development. Here's a little thread of what's possible with the right investment into Gutenberg

New in Cursor design mode: Annotate. Give agents visual prompts: edit elements, draw on the page, and review your designs at different screen sizes.

Sigh, more LARPING from a lame rich guy that is ostensibly only rich because of our tax dollars. It's tiring.

Breaking News: The Trump administration is set to relax rules restricting the emission of methane, a gas considered to be a “super pollutant.” nyti.ms/3WP2qaG

E.P.A. to Loosen Methane Rules for Oil Firms

The Biden administration had sought to crack down on methane leaks, a big driver of climate change. Those rules are now being scaled back.

CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME: A routine dental cleaning and exam costs $250. My dental insurance premium is $45 a month, which is $540 a year. The catch? The plan has a $100 deductible and only covers 80% of routine cleanings. So for a $250 visit, insurance pays $120, and I still owe $130 out of pocket. Add my annual premiums and I'm paying $670 a year for a service that costs $500 without insurance. I am literally paying an extra $170 a year for the privilege of using a discount card that pretends to be health coverage.

All these car apps getting proper Duo support but Excel still sitting there un-updated. In the year 2026, the beginning of the Opus Epoch, there is 0 reason to not have your UI ready on day 1, 0 reason. Microsoft is about to lay off thousands - maybe instead it should ask what's preventing them from competence with the current staff load that they have?

President Trump's planned 250-foot-tall arch would cast shadows on many graves and monuments in nearby Arlington National Cemetery, the @washingtonpost's 3-D analysis found. On some days, Trump's arch would even shade the grave and eternal flame of JFK.

"University researchers built a satellite that tracks people from low Earth orbit and dispatches a 5 kg payload to within .1 meter of their position, traveling at Mach 25 to anywhere on Earth in under 5 minutes. They suggest it could be used to deliver greeting cards."

Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks. By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time. Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.

Insane value. They keep updating the polishing cloth to be forward and backward compatible. I immediately regret upgrading to the Duo instead of waiting for the iPad Mini.
