The joy of a young Yemeni upon learning that they have entered the war..

Iran bombed the Neot Havov industrial zone in Israel. There are 19 chemical factories there, including one belonging to Teva Pharmaceuticals, a major producer of HRT drugs and puberty blockers. There are reports of secondary explosions and hazardous chemical leaks.

Prompt Engineering is a SCAM. Please take it off your resume. The biggest lie on Tech Twitter right now is that you need to be an "AI Whisperer" to build software in 2026. Here is the reality check: If you need a 600-word prompt with 14 bullet points just to generate a stable React component... the AI isn't the problem. Your architecture is garbage. We spent the last few years teaching people to type "Act as a senior 10x developer and..." Modern models are now smart enough to ignore the fluff. They don't need magic words. They need Constraints. What actually separates a Senior Engineer from a "Prompt Bro" today: 1System Boundaries: Knowing exactly where your Next.js frontend stops and your backend microservice begins. 2Data Contracts: Defining strict schemas and types before you let the AI write a single loop. 3State Management: The one thing autonomous agents still hallucinate on a daily basis. Stop trying to trick the machine with psychological hacks. Start feeding it clean, modular system architecture. If your only technical moat is "writing really good prompts," someone who actually understands database indexing is going to take your job by Q3. Good engineering fixes bad prompting. Good prompting cannot fix bad engineering.

The funniest thing about TurboQuant is that not only is none of it new, every part of what we've implemented is very old. We are just rediscovering tricks video game developers had to use in the 90s. FWHT decorrelation → DCT in JPEG/MPEG decorrelation Lloyd-Max 16-centroid codebook → 256-color palette (VQ codebook) Norm + quantized unit vector → Quake's norm vector table 128-elm blocks with 4-bit indices → S3 texture compression ADC lookup table (VecInfer) → Dot-product LUTs for lighting Per-block scale factor → ADPCM audio (scale per block + quantized residuals)

Iran’s coup de grace against USAF electronic warfare I want to correct my report about 2 AWACS planes being destroyed. It was actually 1 AWACS E-3, but the picture actually gets worse for the US. In addition to the E-3, two EC-130Hs were damaged beyond repair. These jets are top tier SEAD assets, vital to suppressing air defenses through jamming and monitoring. They were going to be used in the invasion of an Iranian island. The idea was these planes in addition to Growlers would target and suppress AD while the 82nd flew in with helicopters. Iran preempted this move and destroyed the asset. These planes are RARE, and only 3 remained in service before this attack. Now it’s just 1. These are even more painful than AWACS losses and the equipment onboard is extremely sensitive so it’s likely a total loss even if the surface damage seems less than the AWACS. The Iranians have just murdered the United States’s ability to combat China and Russia at the same time. The US built 14 of these but it’s unlikely the decommissioned planes can still fulfil this role because the electronics within them are constantly upgraded.
