S&P Considers Forcing Millions To Buy SpaceX Stock
They're considering allowing SpaceX to join after 6 months instead of 12 like every other company, and not bothering to calculate the number of shares available to trade before allowing it in.
This would force index funds to buy tons of shares to keep up with the index. Most people with 401(k)s have a fair amount of money in index funds.

Lessons Learned about Technology and Reform
"But if you believe, as I do, that teaching is anchored in a relationship between an adult and a student then relationships cannot be replaced by even the most well designed software, efficient device (including ChatbotGPT) or virtual reality."
Teaching, perhaps. *Education* is about getting a passing grade to move on to high school, or college, or a good paying job. Fixing this would truly be transformative.

The World Keeps Asking Iran the Wrong Question
"Washington and Tel Aviv entered the 2026 war wanting something contained—pressure on the nuclear program, the missiles, the regional network. Iran expanded the frame. When military pressure reached a threshold, Tehran closed Hormuz, converting the confrontation into a global economic crisis. Every time Washington sets the rules of the game, Tehran changes the playing field."

Run a Windows task on system unlock
You can't do it through any of the normal scheduler commands. But if you write an XML block that includes a SessionStateChangeTrigger, like
<SessionStateChangeTrigger>
<StateChange>SessionUnlock</StateChange>
</SessionStateChangeTrigger>Then you can pass the whole XML block to Register-ScheduledTask:
Register-ScheduledTask -Xml $xml -Force

Unmesh Joshi: Code has always served two distinct but intertwined purposes.
"First, code is a set of instructions to a machine...Second, code is a conceptual model of the problem domain."
I've always found the conceptual model idea to be less important than Conway's Law, though. Agentic programming will probably be subject to it as well - but there had better be someone who understands the organizational structure!
-
The obvious next step is a programming language designed specifically for LLM's to output. I wonder what that might look like?

Dogs Walk of Fame
In a tribute to famous dogs, the Royal Kennel Club placed six plaques on park benches in Battersea Park.
Some of the honored dogs included Lassie, Toto from The Wizard of Oz, Bullseye from Oliver!, and Fang from the Harry Potter film series.
As far as I can tell no one ever followed up to add more plaques though.

Deep below London, HS2’s twin tunnels advance towards Euston station
"According to HS2, both TBMs are currently progressing at speeds of up to 150 metres per week as they carve their way through the London clay and head towards passing under residential neighbourhoods. As of a couple of days ago, TBM Madeline was starting to pass under the Grand Union Canal near Scrubbs Lane, with TBM Karen is about 100 metres behind."

This futuristic-looking electric ferry just proved boats beat bridges in cities
"Norwegian company Hyke has just wrapped up a 14-month real-world test of its F-15 electric passenger ferry in the city of Fredrikstad, and the results suggest that small, efficient electric ferries could play a much bigger role in urban transportation than we’ve seen so far."

Campaign to curb cars in Berlin sparks uproar ahead of election
"While cities such as Paris and London have pedestrianised major arteries and reduced parking space, Berlin’s ruling coalition of the CDU and the Social Democrats has shifted towards a more car-friendly approach since taking office in 2023. It has cut funding for bicycle lanes and softened plans to reduce parking. Speed limits in some areas have been raised to 50kph from 30kph"

Santa Monica Council Sends Back Boulevard Safety Plan, Demands Stronger Protections
This is great: "The City Council unanimously sent back a proposed safety plan for Santa Monica Boulevard on Tuesday, directing staff to return within 60 days with revisions that prioritize pedestrian and cyclist safety over vehicle throughput."
Wow, go Santa Monica Council! Set the carbrain traffic engineers back on their heels a bit.

@nicholdav @astrojuanlu I think maybe the most important law of software architecture is Conway's Law - the structure of the program will tend to reflect the structure of the organization. Most scientific apps will probably reflect the very simple structure of the lab that supports them.

The amount of money local governments spend on putting in and ripping out infrastructure boggles my mind.
"The council said the proposed changes would “introduce expanded capacity for vehicles travelling towards the town centre” and “pave the way” for an already-approved new bus lane on London Road"
We need a sexier way to say "Induced Demand". Something like, "People use what they're given".
