1. Not the kind of lottery winner you are looking for. “According to court records, Farthing strangled a girlfriend; sold cocaine to an undercover police informant; escaped from a prison work detail; bribed a corrections officer to deliver Xanax and Oxycodone into a state facility; possessed stolen firearms; and even involved his mother in a marijuana smuggling plot for which they were both indicted.”
4. Someone tries to defend mass tourism. It is good for most of those who do it! Yet there is a better way.
5. LLMs in evolutionary game theory. “Google’s Gemini models proved strategically ruthless, exploiting cooperative opponents and retaliating against defectors, while OpenAI’s models remained highly cooperative, a trait that proved catastrophic in hostile environments. Anthropic’s Claude emerged as the most forgiving reciprocator, showing remarkable willingness to restore cooperation even after being exploited or successfully defecting.”
6. Poland and Germany and the border.
7. Ross D. on BBB (NYT).
8. Fairfax County a center for immigration arrests (NYT). Boo, we are one of the last places that need this.
