The Trump administration launched a partnership in October to build at least $80 billion worth of new, large-scale nuclear reactors. The money will support the construction of a type of pressurized water reactor developed by Westinghouse that can generate about 1,110 megawatts of electric power. The partnership includes profit-sharing mechanisms that will give the US government some of the upside if the initiative succeeds.
China reportedly has a prototype EUV chipmaking machine. While it has not yet produced a working chip, it is apparently creating EUV light. The machine is expected to produce its first chip in 2028. The Dutch company ASML had previously been the sole producer of EUV machines.

Efficiency becoming a metric will create pressure and cause exploration to look wasteful. High-token sessions will start to look sloppy. Over time, AI will turn into another optimization target, and eventually into something that people virtue signal about rather than something that reflects real impact. Some of the most valuable work exists in the messy, high-token exploratory phase that resists easy measurement.
Design is about finding the right problem, the right intent, and the right vision. The features you design and build today should be considered a step toward that vision. Without the right context and goal, you could be iterating toward a direction that wasn't chosen intentionally. The industry is not very patient, but that doesn't mean you should devalue the why behind your designs in favor of output.
Lawyers for David Ellison sent a letter to Warner Bros. Discovery on the night of December 3 expressing serious concerns about the fairness and adequacy of the company's sale process. This surprised Warner Bros., as the company believed it had run a fair process. Ellison's inner circle tried to retract the statement, claiming some partners didn't even know the letter was going out, but it was too late. In response, Warner Bros. decided to sell to Netflix.
Software quality startup Graphite has been acquired by code generation startup Cursor. Graphite started out as Screenplay, which couldn't find product-market fit right away. The conversations around Graphite started right before the pandemic lockdowns. The team started working in person together as soon as it was advisable, allowing them to knit a culture early and build trust. The three founders took three distinct roles, and they all remain vital to the company.

Warner has urged shareholders to reject Paramount's hostile takeover bid due to concerns about the financing. Paramount is using an Ellison family trust to backstop the deal - Warner wants Larry Ellison to give a stronger personal guarantee that he is fully committed to the bid.

This article tells the inside story of the landing, starting with the disintegration of a Falcon 9 rocket in June 2015, the first time a Falcon 9 had been lost in flight.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order outlining NASA's policy objectives for the next three years a couple of hours after a judge formally swore Jared Isaacman as the agency's administrator. The executive order states that the country must pursue a space policy that will extend the reach of human discovery, secure the nation's vital economic and security interests, unleash commercial development, and lay the foundation for a new space age. There are no concrete plans to send humans to Mars in the document. There's also a lack of reference to space science. An overview of the contents of the executive order is available in the article.

GPT‑5.2-Codex is a version of GPT‑5.2 optimized for agentic coding. It features improvements in long-horizon work through context compaction, stronger performance on large code changes, improved performance in Windows environments, and significantly stronger cybersecurity capabilities. The model is now available in all Codex surfaces for paid ChatGPT users. OpenAI is working towards safely enabling the model for API users in the coming weeks.
Cloudflare's most recent outage was caused by a seemingly innocent but global configuration change. The incident shows why the largest systems in the world will have to implement safer ways to roll out configs. Implementing gradual rollouts for all configuration files is a lot of work, so it doesn't make sense unless the stability of systems is more important than fast iteration. Smaller companies and products probably won't need to implement staged configuration rollouts because the infrastructure work slows down product development.
One of the recurring ideological themes of the last few decades has been the idea of creating entirely new communities, cultures, cities, and even countries. In this world of a thousand nations, people would be able to choose the communities that best fit their values. These ideas inspired Vitalik Buterin to create Zuzalu, an experimental pop-up city in Montenegro, in 2023. This post provides an updated picture of the space, detailing what Buterin has learned since 2023, and sketches out a world that the movement could be driving towards.

Sebastian Seung, a neuroscience and computer science professor at Princeton University, was one of the researchers who helped create the first complete wiring diagram of a fly's brain. He has created a startup called Memazing to create the technology needed to reverse engineer the fly brain (and eventually more complex organisms) and create full recreations of the brain in software. The company's goal is to use an existing map of how nature has produced intelligence to create a new form of artificial intelligence. The startup is still in a very early stage and is in the process of raising funds, but the team has already begun work on the fly brain emulation and has started connecting a model to a simple robotics system.
Jared Isaacman, at 42 years old, is the youngest person to lead NASA. The agency has faced an extraordinarily difficult year. About 20% of the agency employees took buyouts or early retirements thanks to the Department of Government Efficiency. NASA is locked into a high-stakes race with China to return humans to the Moon, but the agency has to deal with an administration that sought to cut its budget by 24%.
