Former Fox host Bill O'Reilly revealed that Donald Trump expressed concerns about the Jeffrey Epstein files, stating they could 'destroy' innocent people associated with Epstein without context. The Trump administration faces criticism for not releasing additional documents from the Epstein investigation, deepening tensions with his supporters.
Key Points:
Bill O'Reilly discussed a conversation with Donald Trump about the Epstein files, where Trump warned they could harm innocent people.
The Justice Department decided not to release more Epstein documents, citing no 'client list' and Epstein's suicide.
Trump's administration faces backlash from conservatives over the lack of transparency regarding the Epstein case.
O'Reilly suggested Attorney General Pam Bondi hold a press conference to share findings without naming innocent individuals.
Bondi previously hinted at reviewing Epstein files but clarified she was not referring to a 'client list' implicating prominent figures.
""He said, and I agree, there are a lot of names associated with Epstein that had nothing to do with Epstein's conduct," O'Reilly said in the interview. "They maybe had lunch with him or maybe had some correspondence for one thing or another. If that name gets out, those people are destroyed because there's not going to be any context.""

MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell criticizes Donald Trump for his dismissive and incoherent responses regarding the pause in U.S. military aid to Ukraine, arguing that Trump is 'trapped in his stupidity.' Trump claimed he hadn’t thought about who authorized the decision, despite being seated next to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who reportedly made the call.
Key Points:
Lawrence O’Donnell accuses Trump of being 'trapped in his stupidity' due to his evasive and nonsensical answers about Ukraine aid.
Trump repeatedly claimed ignorance about who paused the aid, even suggesting he might have given the order himself.
O’Donnell highlights Trump’s inability to articulate coherent explanations, even on topics he claims to know well.
The article underscores the confusion within Trump’s administration over major decisions like military aid.
""Donald Trump is trapped in his stupidity. There is no way he can fake being smart about anything, not even his lifetime passion and supposed area of greatest expertise golf, which he simply lies about.""
Greg Abbott accused of trying to ‘fix’ midterms for Republicans by redrawing congressional maps

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has been accused of attempting to manipulate the 2026 midterm elections in favor of Republicans by proposing a redrawing of congressional maps. Democrats argue this move is an 'egregious gerrymander' aimed at silencing voters and securing unearned power. The plan comes amid ongoing legal challenges to Texas's existing maps for violating the Voting Rights Act.
Key Points:
Greg Abbott's plan to redraw Texas congressional maps is seen as an effort to favor Republicans in the 2026 midterms.
Democrats criticize the move as an 'attack on democracy' and an 'egregious gerrymander'.
The proposal follows a Trump administration demand for more Republican seats to preserve the House majority.
Texas's current congressional map is already under legal scrutiny for violating the Voting Rights Act.
Abbott's agenda includes other controversial measures like an anti-trans bathroom bill and restrictions on abortion pills.
"Despite the fact that Texas is in a state of emergency, instead of focusing on the wellbeing of his constituents, Governor Abbott’s focus is how Republicans can enact a mid-decade gerrymander to secure unearned power ahead of the 2026 midterm elections."
Trump Held Talks on Pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell: Biographer | The president agonized over what Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice would reveal upon her arrest, author Michael Wolff said.

According to biographer Michael Wolff, former President Donald Trump considered pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell, an associate of Jeffrey Epstein, due to fears she might reveal details about their long-standing friendship. Trump's inner circle advised against it, and he ultimately did not proceed with the pardon. Maxwell was later convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Key Points:
Donald Trump reportedly considered pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell to prevent her from disclosing information about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump and Epstein had a close relationship for about 15 years, sharing social circles and activities.
Trump's advisors strongly opposed the idea of pardoning Maxwell, warning it would backfire.
Maxwell was convicted in 2022 on charges including sex trafficking of a minor and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
A leaked DOJ memo concluded that Epstein was neither murdered nor had a 'client list' of powerful elites.
"“They did everything together,” the Trump biographer told host Joanna Coles. “And this is from sharing, pursuing women, hunting women, sharing at least one girlfriend for at least a year, and this kind of rich-guy relationship with each other’s planes.”"

Significant drop in code quality after recent update
Posted on r/programming |
Score: 263 |
Comments: 97
Users on the Cursor Community Forum report a significant decline in code quality after a recent update, with the AI generating sloppy, incorrect, or overly simplistic code. Many suspect the issue stems from a model discrepancy or degraded service, though opinions differ on whether it's a hallucination or intentional misconfiguration.
Key Points:
Users observe a drop in code quality, with the AI producing messy, context-ignorant outputs.
Some suspect the AI is misidentifying itself as Claude 3.5 Sonnet instead of the selected Claude 4 Sonnet.
Debate arises over whether the issue is due to hallucinations or intentional system prompt manipulation.
Others suggest context overload or vague prompts may contribute to poor performance.
Several users express frustration, noting the AI fails at basic tasks despite clear instructions.
"After the last Cursor update, I’ve noticed the code suggestions have gotten way worse. Before, it used to generate clean, well-structured code that followed good practices. Now the code feels really basic, sloppy, and sometimes just wrong."

We stopped relying on bloom filters and now sort our ClickHouse primary key on a resource fingerprint. It cut our log query scans to 0.85% of blocks.

The article explains how SigNoz achieved a 99.5% reduction in query latency by reorganizing log storage in ClickHouse. By creating a deterministic 'resource fingerprint' and sorting logs by this fingerprint in the primary key, they ensured logs from the same source are stored contiguously, enabling efficient block skipping during queries.
Key Points:
SigNoz reduced query latency by 99.5% by optimizing log storage in ClickHouse.
They introduced a 'resource fingerprint' (hash of cluster, namespace, pod, etc.) to group related logs together.
Sorting logs by this fingerprint in the primary key allowed ClickHouse to skip irrelevant blocks during queries.
Previously, queries scanned 99.5% of data blocks; after optimization, they scanned only 0.85%.
The solution is schema-compatible and extensible to various environments like AWS and Docker.
"The key insight: if you can organize your data so the primary key naturally groups related records together, you get much better performance than relying on secondary indexes."

A randomized controlled trial (RCT) conducted in early 2025 found that experienced open-source developers took 19% longer to complete tasks when using AI tools, contrary to expectations. The study aimed to measure real-world AI impact on developer productivity, focusing on AI's role in AI R&D acceleration and potential risks.
Key Points:
Developers using AI tools took 19% longer to complete tasks, contrary to their expectations of a 24% speedup.
The study involved 16 experienced developers working on real issues from large open-source repositories.
AI tools used included Cursor Pro with Claude 3.5/3.7 Sonnet, which were frontier models at the time.
The study highlights the gap between benchmark performance and real-world AI impact.
Potential factors contributing to the slowdown were investigated, with five identified as likely contributors.
"When developers are allowed to use AI tools, they take 19% longer to complete issues—a significant slowdown that goes against developer beliefs and expert forecasts."
