It's kind of odd to think about how for Euclid, Pythagoras was kind of a folk story. A guy with a possibly math themed mystery cult. He lived 270 years before Euclid. Kind of like a George Washington? With stories about chopping down cherry trees that might not be true.

The theorem that's named for Pythagoras is even older. A *lot* older. Even to Pythagoras and Euclid Egypt was "ancient" and that's why there is a story that Pythagoras went there to study 'the ancient mysteries.'

@nunomaduro I agreed with you on SortDirection, but I voted in favor so we can add it now to enable use of it in built-in functions and extensions later.

Imagine something like:

scandir(string $directory, SortDirection $sorting_order, …): array|false;

I suspect we'll see a few other enums added to the core to support these places.

@mpm @enot Neat!

It looks like there's not much activity in my part of GA, but that's not surprising with the mountains.

I'll whip up a couple of meshcore repeaters up this weekend and install them on our roofs, and we'll see what that gets us.

Trump is bankrupting the US Navy because he can't just take the L over Iran and honestly, it sucks for the sailors, but the less capacity the US military has to do harm around the world, the better.

there should be a term for the specific psychosis that kicks in once a tech founder's net worth hits ten figures and he starts talking about AMH levels

> Documentation files on more than 100 websites are referencing potentially dangerous executable content that gets installed automatically when visited by many AI agents. A few dozen companies, some of them Fortune 500s, are among those that executed proof-of-concept code. At least one misconfigured site is directing visitors, human or AI, to live malware.

> The potentially dangerous content is in llms.txt and llms-full.txt files, an emerging convention websites employ to provide machine-readable summaries of the site’s content and its high-level structure. These files are the AI equivalent of the robots.txt standard that instructs search engines how to index the site’s content. Google Lighthouse, a tool for helping web developers, has more here. Correctly configured llms.txt and llms-full.txt files for Cloudflare are here and here.

Techbros losing their minds after talking to ChatGPT/Cluade is a sight to behold.

Dear producers, if you don't want to be too "ripped from the headlines," make a movie about this guy instead. We'll all get the parallel, I promise

The administration has terminated or moved to terminate TPS for more than a million of the 1.3 million people who held it. Six countries still have a designation, two only because a court said so.
