Guardian ·1h

The Trump administration is temporarily pausing deportations to the Democratic Republic of Congo as an Ebola outbreak spirals, but experts warn the move is legally motivated and won't stop disease spread. At least one woman, Adriana Zapata, remains stranded in Kinshasa after a judge ordered her return to the U.S.; officials now cite the travel ban to refuse her re-entry.

The Department of Justice has removed from its website thousands of news releases documenting Jan. 6 prosecutions, calling the records 'partisan propaganda.' The purge is the latest step in the administration's effort to rewrite the Capitol assault's history, coming just after it created a $1.776 billion fund to compensate allies who claim they were unjustly investigated.

Guardian ·2h

An 18,000-acre wildfire on Santa Rosa Island has burned nearly one-third of the island, threatening six plant species found nowhere else on Earth, including a unique subspecies of Torrey pine.

Patching these vulnerabilities will make us safer. But the software industry will need to adapt to the volume of vulnerabilities that models like Claude Mythos Preview will be able to find.

kitty litter uses the codex harness so there is a non-0 probability that at least 10% of the codex traffic comes from the kitty app 😉

i noticed in a kitty litter fork someone's trying to get Nyxian in, which would technically allow us to build iphone apps directly on the iphone, without xcode or any external service

Not really begging for a reset, I don't need one :) But from a customer experience, if a customer downgrades, and OAI charges a payment source, it's a poor look to have the user still limited by their weekly limit. imo if OAI charges someone money, the weekly limit should restart from that point in time... or they should make sure the weekly limit cadence stays in sync with billing Don't charge users money, and then leave them in an unable to work state. I would fix that before doing twitter/x good will resets of everyone, it just makes sense that a user paying more money, should be able to work in a fresh weekly limit based on their subscription level
