After Watergate, Congress exposed how the F.B.I. had surveilled, blackmailed and intimidated activists, celebrities and politicians. To prevent such abuse, President Gerald Ford’s administration prohibited the agency from opening investigations without reasonable suspicion of a crime. In 2008, Attorney General Michael Mukasey and his Justice Department worked around that reform by creating a new category of F.B.I. investigations called “assessments.” Under the new policy, agents could use physical surveillance and interview acquaintances, as well as informants, to gather information, even in the absence of a demonstrably high level of suspicion.

TanStack Router gave us a useful precedent around the same time because it had its own state graph, its own adapters, and the same need to run well across React, Solid, and Vue. Its work on a store factory and native Solid primitives showed that the core could depend on a small shared shape while each adapter supplied the implementation that made sense for its framework.

Thank you for the additional clarification and for the considerable expenditure of explanatory effort represented by the preceding response. Before proceeding further with the underlying technical question, it may be useful to establish a more explicit shared understanding concerning the relationship between the quantity of information supplied, the extent to which that information is necessary for the immediate decision being made, and the finite amount of maintainer attention available for converting the supplied information into an actionable conclusion. For the avoidance of doubt, the concern being raised here is not that factual accuracy, reproducibility, technical precision, correction of earlier assertions, or sufficient evidentiary support are undesirable. Each of those properties is useful and may, under the appropriate circumstances, be necessary. The difficulty arises when the information required to establish the relevant fact is accompanied by additional explanation whose presence, although potentially interesting and perhaps even technically correct, does not materially alter the fact itself, the confidence with which that fact can be evaluated, or the action that follows from accepting it. Every response imposes what might be described as a comprehension obligation upon its recipients. That obligation consists not merely of reading the words presented, but also of determining which statements constitute factual claims, which function as evidence, which are qualifications, which are conjectures, which supersede earlier statements, which merely restate conclusions already established elsewhere, and which are included primarily to explain the circumstances under which some other statement came to be made. The cost of satisfying this obligation tends to increase with the length, density, and structural complexity of the response, even where the amount of information capable of changing the maintainer’s eventual decision remains constant. This consideration is particularly significant in the context of open-source maintenance, where the time required to read, classify, verify, and contextualize one response cannot simultaneously be used to reproduce another issue, review a pull request, investigate a regression, prepare a release, answer another contributor, evaluate a dependency update, improve documentation, or perform any of the numerous other activities competing for the same limited pool of attention. Consequently, verbosity is not entirely without cost merely because the information is supplied voluntarily, constructively, and with the intention of preventing misunderstanding. Its cost is transferred to each recipient who must determine which portions are operationally necessary and which portions can be disregarded without compromising the validity of the resulting conclusion. We would therefore ask that future responses be prepared according to something approximating a principle of minimum sufficient communication, by which a response contains the smallest collection of independently useful facts required to answer the question currently being asked or to establish the behavior currently under discussion. Information should not be included solely because it is adjacent to the subject, because it records the path by which a conclusion was reached, because it anticipates questions that have not yet been asked, because it exhaustively delineates the boundaries of claims whose ordinary interpretation is already sufficiently narrow, or because omitting it might leave some peripheral aspect of the subject less than comprehensively characterized. The use of the word “smallest” in this context should not be interpreted as a request for artificial abbreviation, unexplained assertions, incomplete reproduction instructions, or the omission of facts required to distinguish the reported behavior from another superficially similar behavior. It means, instead, that each sentence should justify the attention required to process it by contributing something without which a maintainer would be materially less able to verify the report or determine the appropriate next action. Where the removal of a sentence would leave the actionable meaning unchanged, that sentence should generally be presumed removable. Where several paragraphs can be replaced by a single concrete observation without sacrificing reproducibility, the concrete observation should be preferred. Where a mechanism can be demonstrated through a minimal configuration change and an immediately observable result, that demonstration should ordinarily take precedence over a comprehensive narrative describing the mechanism’s provenance, implications, surrounding implementation details, and hypothetical manifestations in configurations not yet tested. Qualifications should similarly be restricted to those that alter the reasonable interpretation of the principal claim. It is generally unnecessary to enumerate every proposition that is not being asserted, every environment that has not been tested, every alternative explanation that was considered and rejected, every inference that a sufficiently careful reader might otherwise draw, or every reason the author has for believing that an untested configuration may behave similarly. Where uncertainty is relevant, it is usually sufficient to identify the precise boundary of verification rather than narrating the broader epistemological status of all related propositions. One potentially useful standard for deciding whether information warrants inclusion is to ask whether the behavior that actually occurs, the smallest reliable procedure that causes it to occur, and any qualification without which those statements would become materially misleading remain understandable and reproducible after the information is removed. If they do, the removed material was probably not necessary for the immediate response. Background already available elsewhere in the issue, detailed explanations of standard language or bundler behavior, speculative generalizations beyond the verified reproducer, extended discussion of why an earlier reproducer was inadequate, descriptions of investigative paths that did not produce the final result, and multiple reformulations of the same conclusion at successively different levels of abstraction should normally be retained by the author unless and until a maintainer requests them. This request is not intended as a judgment concerning the effort, competence, thoroughness, or good faith involved in preparing the response. It concerns the format in which the result of that effort is presented. A technically correct response may nevertheless be disproportionately expensive to consume, in much the same way that a comprehensive diagnostic log may contain the relevant error while simultaneously making that error more difficult to locate. The objective is not to minimize the amount of investigation performed by the reporter, but to minimize the portion of that investigation which every subsequent reader must reconstruct before reaching the actionable result. We recognize that determining what is essential requires judgment and that contributors cannot invariably know in advance which detail a maintainer will consider relevant. In such circumstances, the preferred strategy is progressive disclosure, under which the shortest adequately supported factual answer is provided initially and further supporting detail is supplied only when a maintainer identifies a concrete need for it. It is substantially easier for a maintainer to request one missing fact than it is for multiple maintainers to independently identify and disregard several pages of facts that do not affect the decision being made. The appropriate optimization target is therefore not maximum completeness at the time of the first response, but minimum aggregate effort across all participants required to reach a sufficiently supported conclusion. A concise response that results in one targeted follow-up question may satisfy that target more effectively than an exhaustive response which attempts to preempt every conceivable follow-up but requires substantially greater processing time from every reader, including readers for whom most of the anticipated questions would never have arisen. Facts directly necessary to establish the reported behavior should be included. Evidence directly necessary to verify those facts should be included only to the extent that verification would otherwise be impractical or ambiguous. Context that may be interesting but does not change the facts, their verification, or the resulting action should be omitted unless specifically requested. Where several formulations communicate materially identical information, the shortest formulation should be selected. Where a direct statement is available, it should take precedence over a narrative account of how the statement was discovered. Where one verified claim is sufficient, it should not be surrounded by multiple hypothetical extensions. Where the answer to a question can be expressed as a concrete condition and an observable consequence, the response should ordinarily contain that condition and consequence without attempting to supply a general theory of every adjacent failure mode. It is also important to clarify that this does not mean providing a concise summary followed by the same extended explanation that the summary was intended to replace. The continued presence of the explanation preserves most of the reading, classification, and triage cost. A summary is not a substitute for removing unnecessary material when the unnecessary material remains directly beneath it. Supporting details can remain available to the author and can be supplied in a subsequent response if a maintainer determines that the initial facts are insufficient. Nor is it generally necessary to surround relevant facts with introductory courtesies, repeated apologies, rhetorical transitions, anticipatory defenses, summaries of prior misunderstandings, explanations of why the current answer differs from a previous answer, assurances about claims that are not being made, or concluding restatements of conclusions already expressed. Courtesy is appreciated, but its communicative footprint need not substantially exceed that of the technical substance. A correction is most useful when it makes the corrected claim immediately identifiable and permits the obsolete claim to be discarded without requiring the reader to reconstruct the entire history of the correction. Applied to the present exchange, the information that appears most capable of affecting maintainer action is that disabling HMR removes the React refresh preamble, that the resulting client bootstrap no longer causes the relevant environment initialization to occur before createClientRpc is evaluated, and that server-function construction consequently encounters a ReferenceError because process is unavailable. The precise import-order mechanics, the contrast with the initial theory concerning a relative URL, the implications for other plugins whose preambles may differ, the explanation of why the originally linked example does not exhibit the behavior under its default configuration, and the broader characterization of the problem as a dependency on an incidental ordering guarantee may become relevant during implementation, but they need not all be transmitted before maintainers have had an opportunity to evaluate the narrower verified condition and its immediate consequence. In consideration of the asymmetry between the effort required for an author to preserve additional material and the cumulative effort required for every recipient to inspect and classify that material, and with due regard for the limited and nonrenewable character of volunteer maintainer attention as it relates to the substantially renewable supply of potentially relevant contextual exposition, future participation would be most effective if each response were reduced, before submission, to only those empirically established statements whose omission would prevent reproduction, materially distort the reported behavior, or leave the specific question under consideration unanswered, with all supplementary narrative, speculative extension, duplicative reformulation, historical reconstruction, rhetorical cushioning, and otherwise nonessential elaboration withheld pending an explicit indication that its disclosure is required.

It is an exciting time to be a robot. They are becoming promptable, not programmed. They are stepping onto factory floors, into warehouses, restaurants, and homes. For sixty years, the answer to keeping us safe around robots was a cage: bolt the machine down, fence it off, keep people out. It worked because the robot was blind and repetitive. The cage kept the risk contained. Dangerous inside, safe outside. Today's robots can see, plan, and work on their own, alongside people. The prize is the largest market on earth: labor itself. But what replaces the cage? Every dangerous machine in the past, from the steam boiler to the elevator to the car, won its place the same way. Its risk became legible: measurable, comparable, priceable. Robot risk today is not legible. But a robot among people today must be compliant and insured from day one. Legibility takes instrumentation to measure, standards to compare, and insurance priced on evidence, turning as one circuit: evidence prices insurance, insurance feeds the standard, and the standard writes the next round of evidence. We call it the Evidence Loop. As a system, it has not started. What follows is our answer: the 17 things robot makers, deployers, insurers, and policymakers can do by 2030 to start the loop that replaces the cage. It is published open for review: we invite you to shape it and join its reviewers.

The purse on Erasmus’s lap may be included in order to illustrate his generosity. Erasmus and Gillis made a point of informing More that they had split the cost of this gift because they wanted it to be a present from them both.

The books on the shelf behind the scholar have inscriptions relating to his recently published works: Novum Testament[um] and Hieronymus refer to Erasmus’s editions of the New Testament and St Jerome; Lovkianos refers to Erasmus’s and More’s collaboration in translating Lucian’s Dialogues; and Hor, which originally read Mor and must have been altered during an early restoration, spells the first letters of the Englishman’s name and refers to the ‘Praise of Folly’ (Encomium Moriae), a satirical essay written whilst Erasmus stayed with More in Bucklersbury in London in 1509. The words on the paper are a paraphrase of St Paul’s Epistle to the Romans, the handwriting is a close imitation of Erasmus’s own hand, and the reed pen was Erasmus’s favourite writing tool.

Lipson says policymakers must ask whether we’re dealing with a skills problem, a matching problem, a true lack of demand with too few entry-level jobs, or a price problem where young workers cost too much relative to expected productivity.

The aims of this study were to: (i) explore health professional views of the enablers and barriers to delivering evidence-based patient falls prevention education programs in hospitals; and (ii) understand health professional perceptions of appropriate educational delivery for hospitalised patients.

Since nursing and allied health professionals are the main providers of falls prevention education in hospitals, it is imperative for them to deliver patient education effectively, with consideration to evidence-based approaches.

By ByteBot Share TanStack Start hit Release Candidate status in early 2026 as a full-stack React framework that challenges Next.js’s dominance with a radically different philosophy: client-first, not server-first. Built on TanStack Router, Vite, and Nitro, it delivers server-side rendering, streaming, and server functions without forcing developers into the server-centric mental model that’s become React’s default. If Next.js’s opinionated approach or React Server Components feel heavy-handed, TanStack Start offers breathing room.

Berkeley’s subject catalogue is already gone. Though it was more or less frozen in the nineteen-eighties, it was nonetheless very efficient for some kinds of searches: if the primary sources in your field were published in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, you don’t want your retrievals spread among the thousands of irrelevant records that a mechanical database subject haul brings up. Any drawer of an out-of-date paper catalogue represents the equivalent of a filtered computer search, a Boolean date-limited search, of a very sophisticated sort—in fact, one drawer represents the outcome of a kind of search that most on-line catalogues can’t and won’t ever be able to perform, since it offers clues to what books were in the library during different eras. If in seventy years a historian of science (say) wants to know whether some Nobel-laureate physics professor could possibly have seen and been influenced by a certain out-of-the-way Dutch mathematical monograph from the thirties which bears important similarities to his work—whether, that is, it was part of the library’s collection during the period when the professor was developing his ideas or was acquired only after the professor’s papers were published (perhaps acquired by the library as a gift from the professor’s estate, in fact, because the professor was sent the monograph by the Dutchman himself, anxious to establish primacy)—the historian of science will have little chance of finding an answer to his question now, because the computer record will bear the (to him) meaningless date of the retrospective conversion of the card, i.e., sometime in the late eighties or early nineties, which has no relation to the time that the card was originally produced (and the book placed on the shelf), whereas the original card, even if it bore no direct date of creation, would have exhibited distinct features (typewriter style, format, cataloguing conventions) that might have enabled a cataloguecard paleographer to place it within a five-year Period.

In 1848, Antonio Panizzi, Keeper of Printed Books for the British Museum, had a similar notion:By an alphabetical catalogue it is understood that the titles be entered in it under some “headings” alphabetically arranged. Now, inasmuch as in a large. library no one can know beforehand the j uxtaposition of these headings, and it would beimpossible to arrange them in the requisite order, if they cannot be easily shifted, each title is therefore written on separate “slips” of paper . . . which are frequently changed from one place to another as required. It is selfevident that if these “slips . . . be not uniform, both in size or substance, their arrangement will cause mechanical difficulties which take time and trouble to overcome.

N-LINE catalogues are wonderful things in principle—things of efficacy, and even, occasionally (as in the case of O.C.L.C.’s Online Union Catalog), of grandeur. As a result of the publicly financed expansion of higher education in the sixties, and the boom in academic publishing that followed it, the holdings of the typical university library have doubled over the last twenty years. Without on-line catalogues, and the circulation and acquisition modules of software with which on-line catalogues are linked, libraries would simply not have been able to process all the books and journals that were arriving on their loading docks. By the early seventies, there was an ominous arrearage of uncatalogued material waiting on herds of rolling carts near the overtaxed cataloguing departments of most large libraries. Cataloguing had reached a state of crisis similar to the one that forced the financial markets to close early during some of the high-volume weeks of 1969, when Wall Street’s paper-based methods of order processing couldn’t keep up with each day’s orders to buy and sell stock. Computerized stock-execution saved Wall Street (and made program trading and Brack Monday possible, too), and computerized cataloguing procedures saved libraries.

It is true that they seldom have formal training in the intricacies of the cataloguer’s art: they are not necessarily up on the elaborate Anglo-American cataloguing rules, nor are they current concerning the periodic “Rrs, or Rule Interpretations, issued by the Library of Congress, which—like hermeneutical dispatches from the I.R.S. or the Financial Accounting Standards perplexing cases in classification as they emerge. Most operators have had no library-school courses in the Dewey Decimal system (still thriving, by the way, and very big in Europe), or the “Sears List of Subject Headings,” or Cutter numbers, or the abbreviational niceties of the International Standard Bibliographic Description (I.S.B.D.) format—but they do apparently pick up a great deal as they go.

Timothy Kohler and Michael Smith’s edited volume Ten Thousand Years of Inequality (2018), calculating Gini coefficients for multiple ancient societies, perhaps appeared too late for Graeber and Wengrow to take it into account, but the broad patterns that are emerging seem to owe little to prehistoric peoples’ will to imagine different possibilities.

How would we know whether the cases that Graeber and Wengrow explore are sufficient to falsify the evolutionists’ claims?

Monuments Without AgricultureIt used to be a truism among archaeologists that farmers build monuments, mobilizing huge amounts of labor, but foragers do not. This, we now know, is overstated. The most famous exception is Göbekli Tepe, an extraordinary cluster of sunken chambers with massive, carved stone pillars near the Turko-Syrian border. Construction began here by 9500 BCE, just as experiments with domestication were beginning not far to the south, but all the evidence suggests that the builders were hunters and gatherers.16 Stonehenge, the most famous prehistoric monument of all, was built between roughly 3000 and 2600 BCE by herders rather than farmers,17 but as early as 8000 BCE, foragers had set up a series of monumental posts (perhaps totem poles) at the site. At Locqmariaquer in Brittany, fishermen dragged a 20-meter-tall, 350-ton stone stele for 5 kilometers around 4500 BCE and then erected it over a communal tomb. In coastal Peru, other fishermen started building mounds at Aspero, Caral, and Sechin Bajo before 3700 BCE. Foragers in Louisiana heaped up giant earthworks at Watson Brake around 3400 BCE and even bigger ones, using a standardized unit of measurement, at Poverty Point around 1600 BCE.18

Across the last 20 years, evolutionists have adopted more sophisticated frameworks (such as niche construction theory) to accommodate the new findings, and Stephen Shennan’s superb book First Farmers of Europe provides a thorough and convincing evolutionary account of the origins and expansion of agriculture.15

Since the 2000s, archaeologists and paleobotanists have moved away from three older theories about the origins of agriculture—first, that population growth after the end of the Ice Age (around 9650 BCE) drove experiments with gardening and herding that led to the domestication of plants and animals in the Near East; second, that domestication happened in a few core regions of the Near East and then spread steadily outward; and third, that farming inexorably drove processes of sedentism, rising labor inputs, and increasing inequality. Instead, most experts now suggest that the relationship between population and domestication was complicated and variable; that experiments with cultivating plants went on in multiple locations, particularly wetlands; that domesticated plants caught on extremely slowly, needing 3,000 years (ca. 9500–6500 BCE) to go from under 20% of assemblages to over 80%; that the drift toward domesticated resources was regularly reversed; that rather than causing sedentism, domestication was often its consequence; that sedentism and experiments with plant cultivation began as early as 21,000 BCE, at the coldest point in the last Ice Age; and that there is little sign of institutionalized inequality in the Near East before about 5500 BCE.14

Allen Johnson and Timothy Earle’s widely read book The Evolution of Human Societies, which uses the Great Basin Shoshone of a century ago as one of its key case studies. Like the Cheyenne, the Shoshone spent most of the year in unranked, family-sized groups, but some of them periodically granted “rabbit bosses” and “antelope shamans” far-reaching powers to coordinate large-scale hunting and trapping.

In what follows, I take evolutionists to be scholars who see some conceptual continuity between human history and biological evolution, who consider sociocultural evolution to be governed by identifiable mechanisms functioning somewhat like natural selection, who see these mechanisms as involving adaptation to the environment, who believe that the mechanisms operate on all societies regardless of time and space, and—usually, but not always—who recognize stages of social and cultural evolution, from egalitarian foraging bands through hierarchical agricultural empires and pastoral tribes, to modern fossil-fuel-based nation-states.

whether Graeber and Wengrow commit so many howlers that their central thesis is invalidated.

Where Harari and Diamond offered evolutionist accounts of history,3 Graeber and Wengrow are explicitly anti-evolutionist. Dawn deserves admiration for being the most extended and detailed rebuttal to evolutionism this century—and it provokes exasperation for precisely the same reason.

This model gives both learners and employers clarity and confidence around competencies without having to interpret them from college transcripts or job descriptions.

It enables states to document whether programs are producing graduates with the skills and competencies that regional economies need. Better than the first-job earnings metrics in place today, a quality assurance model can confirm whether credentials are truly delivering verified skills that matter and are producing measurable mobility for learners, employers, and communities.

these programs lead to credentials that deliver value because skills and learning outcomes are transparent, credible, and comparable.

We should applaud the new federal “do no harm” standards and other accountability measures that raise the bar. But our nation’s colleges and universities must aim higher by seeking to do good throughout the lives of their learners.

Exxon started giving money for climate research to Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in the late 1970s. Then in 1991, the company funded the launch of the Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, according to the program’s former co-director, Henry Jacoby. Chevron, Shell and BP also later supported the program, which developed influential climate-related models.

It will be decided by who builds the best worlds for models to learn in, the best guardrails for them to operate within, and the best games to discover what they can actually do.

Premise 2: Content is small. A 500-word blog post renders fine in Markdown. A 3,000-word agent-generated implementation plan with architecture decisions, trade-off tables, and code samples does not. Past about 100 lines, Markdown becomes a wall of text. No navigation, no collapsible sections, no way to jump to the part you care about. Thariq’s observation is blunt: “Nobody really reads a Markdown file longer than 100 lines.”

For decades, code contributions have been how open source projects learned who to trust. People would show up, do the work, take responsibility for their changes, and stick around. Over time, trust emerged from the work itself. AI tools have changed the economics of this very quickly. We use them ourselves every day, but a pull request no longer tells us as much as it used to about the person submitting it. A substantial patch used to imply substantial effort, and that effort was a reasonable proxy for good faith. That assumption no longer holds. For a browser, this matters. A browser runs untrusted input from the entire internet on the user’s machine, and one well-disguised vulnerability is all an attacker needs. We have already seen patient, well-resourced campaigns in open source to earn maintainer trust and abuse it. What has changed is how much faster and cheaper it has become to produce work that looks like a serious contribution.
