Elon Musk and company’s apparent desire to suck up as much personal information as they can about Americans has hit another snag. U.S. District Judge Ellen Hollander issued a preliminary injunction that will at least temporarily prevent staffers from the Department of Government Efficiency from accessing sensitive data on millions of Americans while working within the Social Security Administration. The ruling, which comes in response to a lawsuit filed by several unions and groups of retirees

It’s April, and the US is experiencing a self-inflicted trade war and a constitutional crisis over immigration. It’s a lot. It’s even enough to make you forget about Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency for a while. You shouldn’t. To state the obvious: DOGE is still out there, chipping away at the foundations of government infrastructure. Slightly less obvious, maybe, is that the DOGE project has recently entered a new phase.

Before there was high-speed internet in Santo Domingo Pueblo, a tribal community about 40 miles from Albuquerque, New Mexico, leaders would pass around a Verizon hotspot to help run their tribal programs. It was inconvenient, and only a limited amount of high-speed data was available. But without broadband access, there was no other choice. It wasn't until 2017 that the local library got high-speed internet, thanks to a tribally built and owned fiber-optic network paid for by community funds an

Up to this point, we’ve been talking about Turing machines — specifically, the longest-known 5- and 6-state machines that eventually halt. We ran the 5-state champion to completion and built visualizations to explore its behavior. But the discovery that it’s the longest halting machine with 5 states — and the identification of the 6-state contender — came from extensive research and formal proofs, not from running them step-by-step.
