Thanks to the wonder of capitalism roughly 3.5 million people die from lack of clean water, 1.5 million people die from vaccinable diseases, and 9 million people die from hunger each and every year. That's over a 140 million deaths every decade.

✨🇨🇳A Chinese company has launched a vehicle-mounted photovoltaic system that automatically tracks sunlight. It provides shade for the car while generating electricity.

The elite media absolutely never talks about how the Mexican left utterly crushed the corrupt narco-establishment in Mexico and instituted a wildly popular democratic socialist government that’s still going strong after eight years because they wouldn’t want to give you any ideas

I burned a shitload of compute so you don't have to. Releasing the Harness Leaderboard.
Which harness should you run your open model in? I ran 28,849 trials to find out.
The leaderboard compares nine coding-agent harnesses on open models. In each comparison only the harness changes: the model, provider and reasoning effort stay fixed, and every task gets three attempts.
The trials ran GLM-5.3-Flash, DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash and Flint on Terminal-Bench 2.1 and DeepSWE, for $4,746 of inference.
Averaged over the three models, mini-swe-agent (@KLieret), a bash-only agent, solves 51.4% of tasks and @openclaw 27.3%. Four others are statistically tied with mini-swe-agent.
One of them is Pi (@pidotdev), at 49.4% for $0.29 per solved task, about 45% less than mini-swe-agent's $0.53.
The best harness depends on the model: mini-swe-agent on GLM-5.3-Flash, Hermes Agent (@NousResearch) on DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash and Kimi Code (@Kimi_Moonshot) on Flint.
@opencode costs $3.35 per solved task, 11.7 times as much as Pi.
See Harness Hub's Harness Lens for what the nine harnesses do differently. It documents the prompts, tools and compaction of 34 coding-agent harnesses and links every claim to its source.

🚨CHINA ACABA DE PRESENTAR UNA PIZARRA CON IA QUE CONVIERTE DIBUJOS EN MODELOS 3D EN TIEMPO REAL
Ya está funcionando en 60.000 escuelas con 160 millones de estudiantes.
Dibujas un cubo en la pizarra.
La IA lo convierte en un modelo 3D que gira, marca los ángulos y las áreas sola, y te explica cada paso en vivo.
Lo mostraron en plena conferencia mundial de IA en Shanghai.
Esto no es un prototipo. Ya está en las aulas.

Unions under socialism: the dialectics of Chinese labour
China’s trade union federation has grown faster than any union federation in history – from 134 million to around 300 million members in two decades, with union density of around 75 percent, compared with around 20 percent in Britain and 10 percent in the US. Yet in the West, including on much of the left, Chinese unions are routinely dismissed as fake or as tools of an authoritarian state.
In this contribution to a @CTW_ATC panel on @immanuelness new book on the dialectics of Chinese labour, I try to explain why.
Trade unions work differently under socialism: workers are not struggling against the state as an agent of capital, but with the state against capital. And China is still a developing country, where modernisation is essential to escaping dependence on the imperialist core.
Seeing only the “sweatshop” snapshot, I argue, is a fundamentally undialectical way of looking at Chinese labour, and it misses the whole trajectory and the class dynamics.

By the way, in China, you can get pdfs printed in paperback format and delivered to your door for almost nothing. Got all of these for less than 40 bucks

China is building the kind of transit hub most countries only draw in pitch decks.
Shanghai is stitching its airport and high-speed rail into one building — step off a plane, step onto a bullet train, same roof. Billed as the country's first "air-rail" hub.
The West is still debating whether HSR is even "worth it." China just merged the airport into it.

✨🇨🇳In a market in Nanning, Guangxi, China, there are over 50 unattended vegetable stalls.
No vendor is present. Customers select fresh vegetables, weigh them themselves, and scan a QR code to pay.
This simple, trusting system works smoothly, showing the honesty and civility of local people.😯

China’s Fifth Plenum decision is out.
Beijing wants the Party to have more influence in private tech firms.
“Strengthen Party-building efforts in platform companies, technology-innovation enterprises, and other such firms; establish a mechanism for dynamically adjusting the elevation of Party organizations within internet companies to higher administrative levels of management; and ensure that responsibilities for Party-building are fulfilled.”

See ad.nl/binnenland/paniek-in-o… for an example of what's ongoing in the Netherlands to scare people away from using open source privacy projects. It's also ongoing in Germany at the same time with similar talking points. This largely started in Spain and has been worst in France.

The bourgeois mystification of suffering begins when historically produced misery is transformed into an eternal human condition, and its abolition is replaced by the individual’s search for meaning within it

‼️ WARNING: Updating the poisoned Claude Code extension won't remove its backdoor, Kevin Beaumont says.
Cursor, which served the bad build to up to 5,000 users, warns that even uninstalling it may not be enough.
The backdoor never lived only in the extension. On loading, it planted the attacker's SSH key and its own startup scripts, which keep trying to open a tunnel to the attacker every 60 seconds or so.
An update swaps the extension's files but leaves the key and the scripts in place.
