These f**king plugs with USB adapters in that screetch at you all night long with no way to turn them off. 👎

And there were THREE in the room!

I usually make hotels work as best I can, but this was one thing too much after a long (long) day.

Microsoft has officially admitted that core Windows 11 features are broken. This confirms user complaints, highlighting a quality control crisis as Microsoft prioritizes flashy AI over OS stability. A fix is promised, but without a timeline. Furthermore, Microsoft repeatedly expressed surprise on Twitter that users dislike integrated AI in the OS and Office apps, while requesting users to tone down aggression against employees on Twitter 😅

Microsoft finally admits almost all major Windows 11 core features are broken

Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 11 Shell and every associated core feature and element are actually broken, and have been like this for many months.

Do you ever just walk around chanting to yourself whispered under your breath "Do it now. Do it now. Shake us out of the heavy deep sleep. Do it. Now"

TiDAR: Think in Diffusion, Talk in Autoregression

TiDAR: Think in Diffusion, Talk in Autoregression

Diffusion language models hold the promise of fast parallel generation, while autoregressive (AR) models typically excel in quality due to their causal structure aligning naturally with language modeling. This raises a fundamental question: can we achieve a synergy with high throughput, higher GPU utilization, and AR level quality? Existing methods fail to effectively balance these two aspects, either prioritizing AR using a weaker model for sequential drafting (speculative decoding), leading to lower drafting efficiency, or using some form of left-to-right (AR-like) decoding logic for diffusion, which still suffers from quality degradation and forfeits its potential parallelizability. We introduce TiDAR, a sequence-level hybrid architecture that drafts tokens (Thinking) in Diffusion and samples final outputs (Talking) AutoRegressively - all within a single forward pass using specially designed structured attention masks. This design exploits the free GPU compute density, achieving a strong balance between drafting and verification capacity. Moreover, TiDAR is designed to be serving-friendly (low overhead) as a standalone model. We extensively evaluate TiDAR against AR models, speculative decoding, and diffusion variants across generative and likelihood tasks at 1.5B and 8B scales. Thanks to the parallel drafting and sampling as well as exact KV cache support, TiDAR outperforms speculative decoding in measured throughput and surpasses diffusion models like Dream and Llada in both efficiency and quality. Most notably, TiDAR is the first architecture to close the quality gap with AR models while delivering 4.71x to 5.91x more tokens per second.

ブラジル・ボルソナロ前大統領を警察が拘束　GPS装置破壊で逃亡の恐れ - 日本経済新聞

【サンパウロ=水口二季】ブラジル連邦警察は22日、自宅軟禁下にあったボルソナロ前大統領の身柄を拘束した。最高裁が9月に、クーデターを企てた罪などで禁錮27年3月の判決を言い渡しており、収監を控えて逃亡の恐れがあると判断した。ボルソナロ氏は、2022年の大統領選で勝利したルラ現大統領の就任を阻もうとしたクーデター計画への関与をめぐり、5つの罪で有罪判決を受けた。最高裁の命令に従わなかったとして8
