• s_dalbiac: It’s none of JD Vance’s fucking business
• Scaryclouds: “No 10” = number 10 downing st, the street address of the British prime minister’s office. This is the functional UK equivalent of saying “The White House does X”.

Leak Reveals Microsoft Wants Its AI To Be ‘Addictive’ (r/technology)

• EconomyDoctor3287: Maybe start making it useful first? And finish one product at a time? Wtf are there 80 different versions of microslop copilot?
• lppedd: Microslop can’t build anything really useful so Satya Slopella has to create artificial drugs.
• equality4everyonenow: Microsoft’s whole business model is to bundle barely passable software into their other offerings to fill a need that you have… terribly.. And the best you can hope for is that over time they fix the bugs and add the features that makes it slightly less annoying to work with. Does anyone really love any Microsoft product that isn’t DirectX?

Let us filter AI slop, you cowards - Online platforms could prove whether AI labels work by giving us a filter option, but then they’d have to face reality. (r/technology)

• dhirajsharma1173: If a platforms AI detection is not accurate enough for filtering then its also not accurate enough for labeling
• Just-Grocery-2229: Imagine logging in and only seeing stuff made by actual humans, that would be WILD!!!
• PuzzleMeDo: I feel like all that would do is prove that filtering doesn’t work because people won’t label their content as AI if it might get filtered out.

A younger surface on an older moon

The moon looks like a fixed relic, but the article presents it as an archive whose first pages may have been partly rewritten. Scientists have long had two competing clocks for the moon’s birth. Lunar rock samples suggest that the moon-forming impact happened about 4.35 billion years ago. Planet-formation models and zircon fragments from the lunar surface, however, point to an older origin, at least 4.51 billion years ago. That gap of roughly 150 million years is not a small bookkeeping error. It changes the story of how Earth, the moon and the early solar system settled into their present forms.

Techmeme surfaced this June 5, 2026 story in its Google-SpaceX compute cluster, and the direct source used here is Sean O’Kane’s TechCrunch article, Google will pay SpaceX \$920M per month for compute, alongside SpaceX’s SEC free-writing prospectus.

The remarkable part is not only the size of the number. SpaceX says Google agreed to pay \$920 million per month from October 2026 through June 2029 for access to about 110,000 NVIDIA GPUs plus associated CPUs, memory, and other components. That is a huge infrastructure lease by any normal cloud standard. But the sharper signal is that the buyer is Google, one of the companies assumed to have the deepest AI infrastructure bench in the world.

This summary covers The Economist’s May 30th, 2026 Leaders article on military technology and the changing logic of war, published under the headline Smarter tech is making war a dumber choice and listed in the contents as The future of war.

The article argues that modern military technology has changed the bargain behind wars of choice. Leaders still imagine short, decisive campaigns in which superior forces impose their will. But recent wars suggest the opposite: sensors, drones, precision weapons and artificial intelligence are making battlefields more transparent, offensives harder and weaker defenders more dangerous. The result is not a clean replacement of old warfare with a new formula. It is a harsher environment in which attacking states can destroy more targets than ever while still failing to achieve their political goals.

Phoenix police fire sergeant who brought gun to ICE protest, refused to obey chief’s order (r/news)

• Alwayssunnyinarizona: I am genuinely surprised our new chief of police did the right thing here. Sure, the fired officer will get a job in Chandler or Ahwatukee or wherever, but at least the PHX PD did something right for once.
• mastermidget23: Reading the article, this pos was basically saying “if I can’t carry a weapon at these kinds of events while off duty, I will just go against your policy and claim I quit so I can’t be fired”. Fucking psychopaths shouldn’t be given guns and authority.
• Iribumkiak: He is just going to get another police job in another jurisdiction.

Earworm Kars4Kids jingle yanked from California radios (r/news)

• ap83: I change the station anytime this comes on
• IndigoRanger: One of the greatest deadpan bits in recent memory was Paul F. Tompkins complaining about how that jingle is so manipulative, because “just think of all the money they save getting kids to sing it instead of adults.”
• Macdaddy357: Sham charities are a giant problem, we need a defined standard of how much money can be wasted on paid directors and advertising.

TIL a supermarket suddenly closed in 1999 and the store was abandoned with all its products and equipment inside still in place. Since the store was sealed up everything remained preserved. (r/todayilearned)

• TGAILA: No one took full responsibility. The owners defaulted on their loans, the bank seized the building and sold the lease, and the new owner just let the contents sit until the landlord finally got a judgement to take back the premises. Abandonment by committee.
• LouSputhole94: Having read through the wiki, it honestly seems like a pretty stupid business decision. The inventory or assets they left behind could have offset the debt burden a bit. Or at the very least, had they notified the various companies they had renting floor space, those companies could have collected some things. Seems like they just went “fuck it, let the bank deal with it.”
• slice_of_pi: This is one of those things that apocalypse stories or zombie tales rarely talk about. The actual story of this supermarket is horrifying.

What’s something attractive at 18 but embarrassing at 30? (r/AskReddit)

Why does New York seem so dirty compared to other world-class cities? (r/NoStupidQuestions)

• TheSweetestChicx: A big part is the visible garbage. NYC has older infrastructure and limited alley space, so trash often sits on sidewalks before pickup. That alone makes streets feel dirtier, even if many other major cities handle waste very differently.
• WorldTallestEngineer: Most megacities (over 10 million people) have a lot of back alleys with dumpsters. New York has almost no back alleys, and no place to put dumpsters. So trash bags are piled on the street.
• WarderWannabe: Should’ve seen it in the 70’s. It’s Disney world now by comparison.

The biggest data center ever is becoming a huge problem in Utah (r/technology)

• r3d0c3ht: Why does this feel as hoax to me, “We’re building a \$4bn datacenter the ludicrous humongous datacenter to rule all datacenters but it will take us forever to build it, anyway, give ca\$h now!”
• Bupod: We will PRETEND to build the mother of all data centers, and the Mormons will pay for it! And when the bubble pops, we simply ride off in to the sunset!
• Standard-Square-7699: It is a hoax. The gpus alone would cost 10s of trillions. Some reditor broke it down a day or 2 ago.

Quick facts

• Difficulty: MEDIUM
• Problem: Count Good Numbers
• Topics: Math, Recursion

Problem gist

The problem asks for the number of length-n digit strings that satisfy two position rules:

• Digits at even indices can be one of 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.
• Digits at odd indices can be one of 2, 3, 5, or 7.

Indices are zero-based, so index 0 is even. The string can start with 0; this is a digit string, not a normal integer representation. Because the answer can be enormous, return it modulo 1_000_000_007.

What happened

NVIDIA’s official Technical Blog published NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra Powers Faster, More Efficient Reasoning for Long-Running Agents, a June 4, 2026 post about an open reasoning model designed around the operational shape of agentic systems rather than single-turn chat.

The post starts from a practical systems problem. Long-running agents do not just answer a prompt. They plan, call tools, read tool outputs, delegate to sub-agents, revise plans, validate work, and carry a growing execution history through many turns. That creates a compounding cost problem: the agent may spend most of its tokens on coordination, context, and recovery rather than on the final answer. It also creates a reliability problem because more turns mean more chances for the model to lose the goal, follow stale context, or over-spend on reasoning that did not need a frontier model.

The sun did not travel alone

The article frames the sun as a migrant. Its current position, in a relatively quiet part of the Milky Way, is probably not where it began. Astronomers have long inferred from the sun’s age and chemistry that it formed closer to the galaxy’s crowded center, where earlier generations of stars enriched the gas with heavier elements more quickly than in the outer disk. Over 4.6 billion years, the sun appears to have moved roughly 10,000 light-years outward.
