> Its as easy as letting the agent choose it's way of doing things - let it choose its own project framework be it Astro, using bun, using handlebars even.

I would be very surprised if the tool that agents use most effectively is also the one they recommend. There's no clear reason why they'd be the same, until articles like this, neither they nor we know which is most efficient. They're recommending based on their model of normal best practice and patterns (what does everybody else do for a project like this) not "I have analyzed handlebar syntax and I think I will iterate more quickly with this".

Seems intentionally misleading. While I agree exposure to US surveillance in non-US providers likely isn't zero, it's significantly harder for the US to do this internationally for legal, practical & political reasons. AWS is not a neutral voice on their competitor's limitations.

I've seen this on many many other sites as well, most notably Twitter, and lots of common modern captcha pages too. Very annoying!

The election is a re-election vote triggered by the MP already in the very safe seat, as a distraction from "where did all this money come from" investigations around him (which are also conveniently paused by this byelection).

He's arguing that if he gets reelected then the investigation doesn't matter. The other parties are arguing it's a stunt, and so are fielding no candidates.

Binface's candidacy accurately represents the absurdity of the whole thing.

Europe is the obvious answer. As others have posted, your numbers here are way off. And on the flip side, there's now some major programs actively encouraging this with special grants, support, relocation bonuses: e.g. ATRAE in Spain, EURAXESS, "Choose Europe For Science", Max Planck Transatlantic Programme.

How could it possibly hurt?

For trusted publishing, it's not a band-aid, it's a significant improvement that kills an entire class of CI takeover publish attacks. I'm sure attackers will find another way but it's a big gap this is closing up.

Are they disabling local mode? There's no mention of that here - the post by Bambú actually specifically promotes it.

> But it's still not at the point where it's cleaner per capita than the US and it's still quite far from that.

China has significantly lower co2 emitted per capita than the US already. Per kWh no, but that's a different thing. AFAICT China's renewable growth is now outpacing demand growth significantly though, so that per-capita gap will widen, and the per kWh is steadily improving as well, and faster than the US.

For some concrete numbers: China added 400GW of renewables in 2025 vs 78 GW of coal generation. Reduced CO2 intensity of power grid by 5% vs US 3% drop. In 2025 US total power emissions went up 5% (for many reasons, but arguably high gas prices and lots of data centres) while China total power emissions dropped 1.5%

All the details make China's path look much cleaner than the US's.

> Now this dumb announcement comes out that a 3rd party has (apparently legally) established interop with a Meta property with (I am guessing) a completely proprietary, undocumented, secret protocol underneath.

Resd the article - this isn't a proprietary secret API, it's the official intended interop API the EU now obliges them to provide. Not exactly 100% what you're asking for (I too would prefer common standards) but forcing interop access is a very good start.

Wireguard is _really_ simple in that sense though. If you're not doing anything complicated it's very easy to set up & maintain, and basically just works.

You can also buy quite a few routers now that have it built in, so you literally just tick a checkbox, then scan a QR code/copy a file to each client device, done.
