Former President Donald Trump accused Democrats of being 'the party of hate, evil, and Satan' in a late-night Truth Social post amid a government shutdown. The shutdown resulted from a failed funding bill that Democrats opposed without an extension of Covid-era healthcare premium subsidies for Obamacare. Trump's post included an image of Democratic leaders with the inflammatory caption and declared the Democratic Party 'dead.'
Key Points:
Trump posted on Truth Social calling Democrats 'the party of hate, evil, and Satan'
The government shutdown occurred after a funding bill failed in the Senate
Democrats refused to support the bill without extending Affordable Care Act subsidies
The expired subsidies could cause health insurance premiums to more than double for millions
Approximately 750,000 federal employees are going unpaid during the shutdown
"President Donald Trump has accused Democrats of being 'the party of hate, evil, and Satan' on Truth Social in his latest broadside in response to the U.S. government shutdown."

Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, a former staunch Trump ally, is publicly breaking with the President and the GOP over the government shutdown. She blames her own party for the political impasse and demands they use procedural rules to pass a funding bill. This rift extends beyond the shutdown to include disagreements over the release of the 'Epstein files' and U.S. military support for Israel.
Key Points:
Marjorie Taylor Greene is publicly criticizing President Trump and the GOP over the government shutdown.
She blames the Republican-controlled Senate for the impasse and urges them to use the 'nuclear option' to pass a funding bill.
Greene argues that vulnerable Americans, like single mothers and unpaid government workers, should not 'pay the price because of politics.'
This marks a significant rift with Trump, also fueled by his administration's refusal to declassify the 'Epstein files'.
She has also broken with the White House over its continued military support for Israel.
""I don’t think that these vulnerable Americans should pay the price because of politics in Washington, D.C. I believe that soon, the Republican senators need to actually grow some courage and a spine.""

In a pre-dawn raid in Chicago's South Shore area on September 30, 2025, federal immigration agents arrested 37 individuals, with the DHS claiming the operation targeted a building tied to the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. Neighbors reported witnessing agents forcibly dragging unclothed children from their homes and separating them from their mothers. The raid was part of the broader Operation Midway Blitz, which has led to over 800 arrests in the Chicago area.
Key Points:
ICE, Border Patrol, FBI, and ATF conducted a large-scale raid in Chicago targeting a building allegedly tied to gang activity.
Neighbors reported witnessing federal agents dragging naked children from the building and separating them from their mothers.
The Department of Homeland Security stated 37 people were arrested for alleged drug trafficking, weapons offenses, or immigration violations.
The operation was part of 'Operation Midway Blitz,' a broader federal enforcement initiative in Chicago.
Critics have characterized such raids as aggressive and raised concerns about due process and the treatment of migrants.
""It was heartbreaking to watch," Watson told the news station. "Even if you’re not a mother, seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.""
Distracting software engineers is way more harmful than most managers think

The article argues that distractions, particularly from an increasing number of meetings, are severely detrimental to software engineers' productivity by preventing deep work. It explains that deep work is essential for achieving a state of flow and producing high-quality results, a need that has been exacerbated, not alleviated, by the rise of remote work and AI coding tools. The author concludes that a poor meeting culture creates a vicious cycle of shallow work and more meetings.
Key Points:
Meetings are disastrous for engineers on a 'maker's schedule' as they fragment time needed for complex tasks.
Deep work is critical for achieving flow, reducing errors, improving skills, and supporting work-life balance.
The increase in remote meetings has led to multitasking, forcing deep work like code reviews to become shallow work.
It can take engineers 15-45 minutes to reach a peak flow state, and every distraction resets this progress.
Managers mistakenly believe AI coding tools reduce the need for focus, but this leads to lower-quality work and more iterations.
"It takes 15 minutes just to get going and only by the 45-minute mark (!) you will hit your peak, when you are fully immersed in the problem. Every time you’re distracted, that clock resets thanks to context switching."

This pull request introduces a persistent attention kernel rewrite for the Triton language, which improves performance at low context lengths but shows some performance trade-offs with fp16 at large contexts due to PTX assembly instruction scheduling issues. The implementation demonstrates significant performance gains with fp8 precision across various context lengths and configurations.
Key Points:
Rewrote attention kernel to use persistent approach for better performance
Improved performance at low-context lengths
FP16 performance suffers at large contexts due to PTX instruction scheduling issue in softmax partition
FP8 shows approximately 100 TFLOPS faster performance when kernel name contains 'cutlass'
Performance benchmarks provided for multiple configurations (causal/not causal, different context lengths)
"Rewrite the attention kernel to be persistent. This gives better performance at low-contexts. However, fp16 at large context has suffered a bit due to a ptxas instruction scheduling issue in the softmax partition."

This article provides a guide to the top open-source authentication (AuthN) and authorization (AuthZ) tools for enterprises in 2025. It explains the critical distinction between AuthN (verifying identity) and AuthZ (determining permissions) and analyzes 13 different tools, highlighting their key features and trade-offs.
Key Points:
Clearly distinguishes Authentication (AuthN) as verifying 'who' a user is from Authorization (AuthZ) as determining 'what' they can do.
Lists and analyzes 13 open-source auth tools, including Authelia, Keycloak, and Cerbos, noting they cover different parts of the identity stack.
Highlights that tools vary in scope, from full identity providers to lightweight services and specialized authorization engines.
Notes that many tools are self-hosted and provides a framework for evaluating them based on features and security.
Emphasizes that both AuthN and AuthZ are required for a secure and scalable identity and access management system.
"Get authentication wrong and unverified users (or AI agents) slip in. Get authorization wrong and even trusted users can reach data or actions they should never touch or see."

Vacant homes in Baltimore are a major drain on the city's economy and public health, disproportionately affecting majority-Black neighborhoods due to a legacy of redlining and disinvestment. The problem is perpetuated by a tax system that underassesses vacant lots, making it cheap for speculators to hold land without developing it. The article proposes solutions including market-based property valuations and tax reforms to incentivize development and break the cycle of blight.
Key Points:
Vacant properties lead to high crime rates, worse public health outcomes, and diminished neighborhood stability.
Baltimore has about 12,382 vacant structures, concentrated in majority-Black neighborhoods, exacerbating inequities.
The tax system underassesses vacant lots, creating low holding costs that encourage land banking and speculation.
Corporate entities own over a quarter of vacant properties, often speculating from afar.
Proposed solutions include market-based valuations, better data practices, and exploring a land value tax shift to incentivize development.
"Vacant land owners can land bank indefinitely with low holding costs, contributing to blight and artificial scarcity. Many vacant lots are located in prime spots that could house families or businesses. Instead, the tax burden shifts to productive homeowners and entrepreneurs, hindering equitable growth."
