98% of US lawmakers receive campaign donations from the arms industry, with dozens having investments in weapons companies. Hind Hassan asked senators Tim Kaine and Susan Collins about that apparent conflict of interest.

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.
