Ukraine-Russia talks in Istanbul end, Moscow demands Kyiv withdraw from 4 regions, no ceasefire agreement. Some of Russia’s demands include the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from their own territory as a condition for a ceasefire, an unnamed Ukrainian source told Sky News.
Ukraine, Russia agree to hold follow-up meeting after Istanbul peace talks. “Parties have agreed in principle to come together again,” Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said.
‘Time to increase the pressure‘ — Zelensky, European leaders speak with Trump following Istanbul peace talks. The conversation took place shortly after the conclusion of the Russia-Ukraine peace talks in Istanbul, which ended with little progress beyond an agreement on prisoner exchange.
Russia, Ukraine agree on 1,000-for-1,000 POW exchange in Istanbul, Umerov says. “We know the date, but we’re not going to say it yet,” Defense Minister Rustem Umerov said.

Trump says he’s returning to US, expects to meet Putin ‘as soon as we can set it up.’ “I think it’s time for us to just do it,” U.S. Presidnet Donald Trump said in Abu Dhabi, adding that the meeting between the two would happen “as soon as we can set it up.”
Up to 640,000 Russian troops fighting against Ukraine, Syrskyi says. Vadym Skibitskyi, the deputy head of Ukraine’s military intelligence agency (HUR), reported in March that Russia had deployed 620,000 soldiers to fight in Ukraine, a rise from his previous estimate of nearly 580,000 in November 2024.
Putin appoints general who led Mariupol assault as new Russian Ground Forces Commander. Under Andrey Mordvichev’s command, Russian troops carried out the destruction of civilian infrastructure and committed atrocities against both civilians and the Ukrainian military, Ukraine has said.
Explosions rock occupied Crimea as drone attack reportedly sets Russian ammo depot on fire. A fire broke out at an ammunition depot in the village of Perevalne in Russian-occupied Crimea following a series of explosions during a drone attack on the morning of May 16, the Crimean Wind Telegram channel reported, citing local residents.

Ukraine war latest: Moscow demands Kyiv withdraw from 4 regions following the talks, no ceasefire agreement
Ukrainian and Russian delegations concluded their talks in Istanbul on May 16 after speaking for less than two hours, with no agreement reached on a full, 30-day ceasefire, and Moscow demanding Kyiv withdraw completely from Ukraine’s four oblasts that President Vladimir Putin claims to have annexed.

‘Putin is laughing at Trump’ — Ukraine in disbelief as Russia makes a mockery of US-led ceasefire attempts
Russian President Vladimir Putin had rebuffed President Volodymyr Zelensky, his European allies, and the U.S., and in response, Donald Trump simply went along with it, excusing his Russian counterpart for not attending the peace talks in Istanbul that Putin himself proposed.

‘It’s all a farce’ — Ukrainian soldiers on Russia’s ‘smokescreen’ peace talks in Istanbul
Ukraine continues to insist on a ceasefire, supported by the U.S. and Europe, saying that a halt to active warfare must come before any real peace talks are possible. Russia has so far rejected a truce four times — on March 11, March 25, May 11 and the most recent one on May 16 in Istanbul.

Who is Vladimir Medinsky? The Putin aide leading Russia’s delegation at Ukraine peace talks
Despite an invitation from Volodymyr Zelensky to meet in Istanbul, Vladimir Putin was a no-show in Turkey, sending instead an aide, Vladimir Medinsky, to head the Russian delegation in peace talks. Medinsky headed the only other direct talks between the two sides in March–April 2022.

International response
‘This is turkey time’ — Trump vows sanctions on Moscow if peace talks fail, says Putin is ‘tired’ of war. “Honestly, I will (impose sanctions), if we’re not gonna make a deal,” Trump told Fox News’ Bret Baier in an interview published on May 16. “This would be crushing for Russia because they’re having a hard time now with the economy.”
‘We have to increase the pressure‘ — Von der Leyen vows new Russia sanctions after Putin skips peace talks. Ursula von der Leyen announced that the European Commission is preparing a new sanctions package, which would include sanctions on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, additional listings of vessels from Russia’s shadow fleet, a lower oil price cap, and sanctions on Russia’s financial sector.
As Russia sticks to hardline demands during peace talks, Europe frustrated with Trump’s swerves, Bloomberg reports. European officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said they remain unsure of U.S. President Donald Trump’s next move and fear that his unpredictable stance could undercut momentum toward a unified Western response.
‘It was my duty to step down‘ — Former US Ambassador to Ukraine confirms resignation over Trump’s policy. Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink, who held the role since 2022, accused the Trump administration of prioritizing pressure on Ukraine, the victim of Russia’s full-scale invasion, rather than confronting the Kremlin.

This article is great in the sense that it describes most of what I'm doing nowadays as a technical writer. I even put different LLMs reviewing each other's drafts, which is a lot of fun. That's why, personally, I can't be so pessimistic as others are currently being. LLMs are just a new technology that you need to incorporate in your workflows. Of course, there are some skills that will probably become atrofied. At the same time, a new set of skills is emerging. If you don't see that. you will be completely left behind. You just need to use these tools by making use of critical thinking.
"After deliberation for a few months, I reached a conclusion about what I wanted to say: the model that’s emerging is a cyborg model of technical writing, a humans + AI combination. This is in contrast to the many articles, which now seem to come at an even faster pace, saying that AI will replace human labor. I realize there’s a lot of opinion on this debate, but my argument for why the humans + AI (cyborgs) model is the winning one, rather than replacement, is because of this observation: almost no tech writers at my work have automated complex processes using AI. And in my own use of AI over the past few years, the model that’s emerged is a close intertwining of machine and human interaction to produce content. I’m talking with AI all day. It’s not doing much on its own without my constant steering, direction, and feedback."

Just in case I’m the only one for this dead obvious thing: #QR payments are amazing, but as a user I would like them to be treated as a bill rather than command.
If I scan the code (again) I want to know whether it has been paid? By whom? When? Has the payment been returned? Can I get a link to the payment in case it has been done by me? Etc…
This would prevent me in so many cases panicking and digging through atrocious #UX of my banks to find what has happened. -

I was rewarded by being able to see NUDITY (Olympia WA) doing a synth-driven/guitarless cover of #Discharge’s “State Violence/State Control”.
Again, I think I was the only person that rode a bike there. Admittedly, the weather was #AtrociousMadness. I must #Disclose I was #DBeat when I got home.

Oberlin #Luddites Reject "Year of #AI Exploration" Adopted by School
September 19, 2025
To President Carmen Twillie Ambar and Oberlin Community:
We are drafting this letter to you on a typewriter that is over 70 years old; this is a machine that we know well. With it, we ditch the crutches of spell-check and generative AI, and we think intently about every phrase we pound out. As we force ourselves, for once, to slow down, we engage in an inner dialogue.
Most of us did not enroll at Oberlin in search of superficial perfection, nor of lazy convenience. Rather, we chose it for its quirky individualism and a tangible education — the challenging of our young minds’ potential, not the chasing of institutional “gold-star” approval.
This college, which was built on a legacy of learning and labor, now risks straying from these principles. With ChatGPT at the helm, our emails, essays, and discussion posts will be generated for us. Not by us. And let’s not fool ourselves. This is precisely what these platforms will be used for.
You claim that this year will be one of “experimentation,” not adoption. But even one semester of accepted (even encouraged) chat-bot use will jettison our student body down a lazy, irredeemable tunnel of intellectual destruction.
We see this fetish for efficiency in other ways at this college: in the takeover of our beloved library cafe by a “bookstore” with no books in stock and an app replacing customer service — through automated instead of hand-pulled coffee.
Who gains from this if not the students? Sam Altman of ChatGPT and Sundar Pichai of Gemini may be plying their wares to colleges at low or no cost, but it’s no secret that every engagement with these platforms is an effort in surveillance in which our data is extracted and monetized. President Ambar, as you embark on your year of AI, we’ll embark on our own year of self-actualization — of realizing the fruits of our labor, and of embracing human imperfection and raw inquiry. We reject information technologies operating out of data centers that guzzle water and precious energy sources (and that contradict our campus’ carbon-neutral policy). We will not stand by and witness the further atrophying of our liberal arts education. Rather than strengthening Silicon Valley, we build our own skills and generative sweat. We urge all members of the Oberlin community who feel similarly to join us and sign our “AI-Opt-Out Letter.”
As for you, President Ambar, we ask that you terminate the College’s contract with Google Gemini and OpenAI. Our position may risk disapproval, perceived backwardness, and the outward appearance of naiveté. But let us not ask what the Silicon Valley oligarchs can do for Oberlin students, but what Oberlin students can do for ourselves while we still have the brain capacity to do so.

Pourquoi je n’utilise pas l’IA.
L’IA me gonfle. Profondément.
- Une catastrophe pour le climat
- Un entraînement aux relents coloniaux
- Un entraînement aux deux poids, deux mesures
- Du capitalisme, du capitalisme, du capitalisme !
- L’atrophie cognitive
- On t’en fout là où t’en veux pas… et où c’est pas nécessaire
- Un appauvrissement de la culture
- Ça raconte de la merde
- Où est le déterminisme ?
- Ça reproduit les préjugés
- En vrac
- Les contre-arguments
- Conclusion...https://fiat-tux.fr/2026/04/02/pourquoi-je-nutilise-pas-lia/

#Toronto '#Bikelanes & sidewalks still have a tendency to become makeshift #parking spaces for entitled #drivers. Bollards & other dividers separating #bike lanes from the #street regularly disappear. In too many places, the #curbs still haven’t been properly cut to create smooth ramps for people using #wheelchairs or pushing #strollers.
And #driver behaviour is atrocious, with almost no regular enforcement.'
