As a software engineer raised on a traditional diet of C, Java, and Lisp, I’ve found myself downright baffled by R. I’m no stranger to mastering new programming languages, but learning R was something else: it felt like studying Finnish after a lifetime of speaking Romance languages. I’m not alone in this experience.

The long-promised deal to "save" TikTok remains elusive even as the US and China seem to be inching toward an agreement. On Friday, President Donald Trump did little to clarify where the deal currently stands following a call with Chinese President Xi Jinping. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said both that the two had "made progress" on "approval of the TikTok Deal" and that he "appreciate[s] the TikTok approval."

The situation with the fiscal year 2026 budget for the United States is, to put it politely, kind of a mess. The White House proposed a budget earlier this year with significant cuts for a number of agencies, including NASA. In the months since then, through the appropriations process, both the House and Senate have proposed their own budget templates. However, Congress has not passed a final budget, and the new fiscal year begins on October 1. As a result of political wrangling over whether t

Microsoft said on Friday that it will increase the recommended retail price of several Xbox consoles in the U.S. starting in October because of "changes in the macroeconomic environment." The company said it would not increase prices for accessories such as controllers and headsets, and that prices in other countries would stay the same.

But chatbots can lie in more human-like ways, “scheming” to hide their true goals and deceiving the humans who have given them instructions.
