Please talk to qualified medical professionals when you have questions about vaccinations.

The outside of a CDC building overlayed in blue gradient. Text reads, "November 21, 2025. The CDC rewrote their website on November 19 suggesting a link between vaccination and autism. The statements on the CDC’s webpage are now false. They rely upon data that has been revoked by medical journals and debunked by a large body of high-quality research. There is no one single cause of autism. Research exploring factors that may be associated with autism is already underway. But we know definitively that vaccines do not cause autism. Numerous studies have demonstrated that vaccines are not associated with an increased risk of autism."

Vaccination is the safest, most effective tool that we have to prevent severe disease, hospitalization, and death from infectious diseases. Globally, vaccines have saved more than 150 million lives in the last 50 years, mostly infants. Under our current federal administration, the CDC is no longer a reliable and trustworthy source of information regarding vaccination. The statements on the CDC’s website now undermine decades of work done to increase vaccination rates in the US. At the Boston Public Health Commission, we believe in scientific evidence.

Great to see model providers put out quality data on how model-as-a-service providers are using their APIs.

More AI Labs should do this.

Moonshot AI's Kimi Infra team dropped K2 Vendor Verifier where you can visually see the difference in tool call accuracy across providers on OpenRouter. TogetherAI looks really bad.

20 years ago this motley crew (minus some kids) deployed to Iraq along with the rest of TOW / Machine Gun Platoon. It was great catching up with everyone and we plan to get more of the platoon out for the Marine Corps birthday in November.

I like this take by @kentbeck.com on how AI-assisted programming changes the balance of which skills are most important

From this interview with @gergely.pragmaticengineer.com newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/tdd-ai-age...
So you can think really big thoughts and the leverage of having those big thoughts has just suddenly expanded enormously. I had this tweet two years ago where I said "90% of my skills just went to zero dollars and 10% of my skills just went up 1000x". And this is exactly what I'm talking about - having a vision, being able to set milestones towards that vision, keeping track of a design to maintain or control the levels of complexity as you go forward. Those are hugely leveraged skills now compared to knowing where to put the amperands and the stars and the brackets in Rust. — Kent Beck, interview with Gergely Orosz

Imagine putting on all this tactical gear and latching onto a military assault vehicle so you can storm a minimall on Sepulveda and apprehend a line cook at family restaurant.
