The European Union’s carbon market was designed to make pollution expensive without prescribing exactly how firms should cut it. That elegant idea is now colliding with industrial politics. As carbon permits become scarcer and costlier, governments fear that the policy meant to clean up European production will instead push factories, jobs and investment elsewhere.

Multiple USS Abraham Lincoln sailors have tried to go overboard amid extended deployment, families say (r/news)

• traceyh415: My father was deployed for six months with no port of call during the Cuban missile crisis. It changed him as a person. He would NEVER wait in lines, did not like confined spaces, did not really like to be around people that much. My understanding is that it was like doing a jail sentence especially the way they were isolated from outside communication.
• AstralElement: As someone who was stationed on this very ship 23 years ago on a year long deployment, I really feel for these sailors. Deployment sucks, extended deployment really sucks. Your whole life is on pause. You can’t be with your family, you often have few friends, the food is often not great and really bad watch rotations if you’re early in your Naval career. The only saving grace for me with videogames and reading. People talk about how big they are, but it gets really small really fast. You don’t really have internet, maybe some email… that’s it.
• Whatdoesthibattahndo: We’ve never had a carrier from this era deployed for this long. Things are going to break in ways we didn’t even know they could break. Normal schedule is 6 months deployed, 6 months work-up, 6 months qualification and preparation for the next deployment. USS Lincoln is probably going to need longer and some maintenance might have to be pulled forward due to increased wear without proper work.

AP Exclusive: ICE plans to give officers gloves that can deliver painful electric shocks (r/news)

• One-Environment-1444: These are good to repel people. You shock them and they want to get away. But people are already trying to get away from ICE not attack them. So these will mostly be used for holding someone down and shocking them while they are already in custody. I bet there is no way to determine when they have been used also. You watch.
• HallucinogenicFish: [The manufacturer warns the device should not be used as punishment, against people merely exhibiting “verbal defiance or belligerence” or on high-risk populations such as children, pregnant women or elderly or disabled people.

ICE agents will use this list like a bingo card.](https://www.reddit.com/r/news/comments/1vlxppb/comment/p3555l8/)

Scheherazade survives in One Thousand and One Nights by keeping a king absorbed in one unfinished tale after another. The fable gives storytelling life-or-death power. Ron Shachar’s research asks a quieter version of the same question: does being able to shape events into a compelling narrative change how people understand their own lives?

Techmeme surfaced Google DeepMind’s August 12 release, “Putting sign language AI into users’ hands.” Its sign-language-to-text model, SL2T 1.0, is launching in Gboard and Live Transcribe on the Pixel 11, where it translates American Sign Language into English text. That makes the release more consequential than another benchmark announcement: a long-neglected language interface is moving from research into a consumer product.

The Strait of Hormuz is both a weapon and a trap. Iran can threaten one of the world’s most important oil routes, while America can punish Iran for doing so. Yet neither side can achieve its real goal through force: Washington cannot bomb the waterway open, and Tehran cannot earn money from a passage that ships are too frightened to use.

Lauren Boebert’s son arrested on sexual exploitation of a child charges (r/news)

• sortasolar: [She’s a hypocrite.

The hypocrisy isn’t that Lauren Boebert has a messy family. Everybody has a messy family.

The hypocrisy is that she built a whole political brand around turning other people’s worst facts into permanent public identities: registries, panic, public shaming, “protect the children” theater (pun intended), etc.

Meta’s BIG comeback?? Thoughts on Muse Glimmer? (Blind)

• 6666661 (Netflix): [Are you an infant? Do you lack object permanence? Do you forget everything you learn about meta mere seconds after you are exposed?

For fucks sake stop paying attention to this trash company. They participated in a genocide in Myanmar, they have stolen data, they have not had a single innovative idea since ranking the hotness of women at Harvard. They have had more layoffs than they have had successful products.

A real-time clinical conversation forces an AI system to solve three problems on incompatible clocks. It must answer quickly enough to sustain rapport, reason carefully enough to update a differential diagnosis, and continuously notice visual or auditory evidence that may change the case. Asking one model loop to do all three invites a bad compromise: either the conversation stalls while the model thinks, or the reasoning and perception become shallow enough to keep latency tolerable.

Quick facts

• Difficulty: MEDIUM
• Problem: Count Primes
• Topics: Array, Math, Enumeration, Number Theory

Problem gist

Given an integer n, the task is to count how many prime numbers are strictly smaller than n. A prime is an integer greater than one whose only positive divisors are one and itself. The word strictly matters: if n is prime, n is not included in the answer.
