Laura Loomer and the limits of posting everything

theverge.com Tina Nguyen 2026-02-04 14:36:49

For all the power she wields with the White House’s affairs, Laura Loomer does not have the traditional tools that her rivals in the MAGA influencer industrial complex have — the highest follower count, the most political power, the most internet platforms, etc. But the fact remains that she’s the influencer responsible for getting Donald Trump to fire over a dozen members of his administration (and counting) for the hazily-defined crime of being disloyal to MAGA.

Advertisement The US$600 million agreement for the Saab JAS 39 Gripens was first announced in June as part of a long-term plan to modernise the air force’s combat capabilities. During five days of clashes with Cambodia that left more than 40 people dead, Thailand used its fleet of F-16s to strike military targets across the border. It was the deadliest border fighting between the two countries in decades. The purchase of four Swedish-built Gripen jets is part of a long-term plan to modernise

news.ycombinator.com Vanessa Bates Ramirez 2026-02-01 06:08:33

From Cape Town to Tehran to Lima to Phoenix, dozens of cities across the globe have experienced water shortages recently. And in the next five years the world’s demand for fresh water could significantly outpace supply, according to a United Nations forecast. Now several companies are turning to an unexpected source for a solution: the bottom of the ocean. Called subsea desalination, the idea is to remove the salt from water in the deep sea.

Best Practices for Building Agentic AI Systems

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-05 05:39:34

I’ve been experimenting with adding AI agents to UserJot, our feedback, roadmap, and changelog platform. Not the simple “one prompt, one response” stuff. Real agent systems where multiple specialized agents communicate, delegate tasks, and somehow don’t crash into each other. The goal was to analyze customer feedback at scale. Find patterns across hundreds of posts. Auto-generate changelog entries. Things that were basically impossible to do manually. I spent weeks reverse engineering tools lik

Even if imperfect, such systems were a few years ago science fiction.

Looney Tunes‘ search for a streaming home has reached a happy ending—and some consolation after being prominently featured on HBO Max initially and then being wiped from the platform. The series has settled on Tubi, where fans can now find over 700 episodes. After being removed from the HBO Max media library back in March, the majority of the classic Looney Tunes cartoons were in limbo, but thankfully, Tubi swept in to save them.

The future of large files in Git is Git

If Git had a nemesis, it’d be large files. Large files bloat Git’s storage, slow down git clone , and wreak havoc on Git forges. In 2015, GitHub released Git LFS—a Git extension that hacked around problems with large files. But Git LFS added new complications and storage costs. Meanwhile, the Git project has been quietly working on large files. And while LFS ain’t dead yet, the latest Git release shows the path towards a future where LFS is, finally, obsolete.
