Open-source framework enables addition of AI to software without prompt engineering
Developers can now integrate large language models directly into their existing software using a single line of code, with no manual prompt engineering required. The open-source framework, known as byLLM, automatically generates context-aware prompts based on the meaning and structure of the program, helping developers avoid hand-crafting detailed prompts, according to a conference paper presented at the SPLASH conference in Singapore in October 2025 and published in the Proceedings of the ACM on Programming Languages.

How Marjorie Taylor Greene can impact post-Trump American populism Added: Dec 4, 2025
Why Marjorie Taylor Greene is more dangerous than ever
Site: The Hill
Marjorie Taylor Greene will leave Congress, but she will still be a powerful force in the MAGA movement, using her influence to shape the future of American populism.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is leaving Congress, but she isn’t leaving the stage. People forget that in American politics — and especially in MAGA politics — formal office isn’t the only source of power. Influence doesn’t begin or end at a desk in Washington. It comes from the ability to move a crowd, shape a news cycle or spark a national argument simply by speaking. By that measure, Greene is only getting started. Her exit from Congress is being framed as a fall, a humiliation, a fracture too deep to mend. But that’s the wrong way to read the moment. Greene didn’t lose her influence; she shed the dead weight of congressional procedure — committee meetings, whipping votes, pretending to enjoy fundraisers with people she can’t stand. She traded a seat for a platform. And in this era, a platform is worth more than a hundred votes on the House floor. She’s now free to do what she has always done best: agitate, galvanize, provoke, and force the MAGA world to reckon with its own contradictions. In fact, she may be more dangerous outside Congress than she ever was inside it. These are peculiar times. President Trump was, until recently, the North Star of the movement. But that light is dimming. He’s aging, agitated, and veering into stranger behavior by the week. MAGA is becoming an ecosystem rather than a person. It needs storytellers, disrupters, curators of anger, and guardians of the original flame. Greene can be all of those without ever touching another ballot. And she knows it. Look at how she handled the Jeffrey Epstein files fight. She didn’t merely scold bureaucrats; she called out Trump directly. That alone tells you where her head is and where she intends to go. She’s also one of the few Republicans with a real connection to the bruised heart of the MAGA base. She knows how to speak to people who feel betrayed, ignored or openly despised by the political class. That’s not a skill you lose when you resign. If anything, it’s a skill you monetize, weaponize and amplify. Greene can shape MAGA’s future in at least three powerful ways, none of which require a title. First: she can become the movement’s independent megaphone. The conservative landscape is full of pundits who want influence without the risk of leadership. Greene is the opposite. She’s a fighter by instinct. Give her a camera, a microphone, and the freedom to speak without a party whip breathing down her neck, and she becomes a one-woman media ecosystem. Tucker Carlson built an empire without running for office. Greene can do the same, except with more credibility and more willingness to confront people on her own side. Second: she can act as the movement’s enforcer. Every rising populist movement has someone who polices the boundaries of the tribe, calling out impostors, careerists and empty suits. Greene has already shown she’s comfortable naming names. In a post-Trump world, someone needs to scare the donors, rattle the consultants, and tell the next crop of Republican hopefuls that “America First” is not a bumper sticker but a vow. She can be the one who separates genuine believers from opportunists. Thirdly, she can build her own base — bigger, broader, and far more loyal than anything she managed inside Congress. People forget she has something almost no national politician possesses anymore: actual authenticity, or at least the closest approximation that Washington ever sees. Even her critics admit they always know exactly what she thinks. That’s rare. She speaks the way her voters speak. She doesn’t rehearse. She doesn’t recite talking points. She doesn’t submit to “message discipline.” In an age where half the political class sounds like ChatGPT on Xanax, that alone is a superpower. She can build a movement without filing a single FEC form. She can shape the post-Trump landscape from Georgia, from a podcast studio, from a rally stage, or from the passenger seat of a pickup truck livestreaming to 3 million people. And if she ever wants back in, she can run again the moment Trump exits the scene. Greene unleashed is Greene unfiltered, and unfiltered is where she’s most potent. There’s also the strange advantage of the moment itself. The country is economically strained, culturally fractured and politically exhausted. People are hungry for voices that aren’t phony, cautious or frightened. Whether you love her or hate her, Greene is no phony. That gives her room to become something far more influential than a former congresswoman: a cultural force capable of shaping the next iteration of American populism. She can also speak to the working-class grievances that many Republicans are terrified to address. Inflation. Declining birth rates. Broken health care. Small towns suffering from a lack of opportunity and even less hope. A digital economy that benefits tech giants and crushes ordinary families. She talks about these issues with a rawness that few elected Republicans can match. And people listen. Not because she’s measured, but because she’s unmistakably herself. That’s her lane now — not a foot soldier of Trumpism, but one of the figures who will determine what comes after him. Her critics think her resignation marks the end of something. They’re wrong. It marks the beginning of a different kind of influence — one unconstrained by the tedious rituals of Washington. She’s free now, and for someone built like Greene, freedom is fuel. Politics will move on, but the movement won’t. And Greene, whether Trump likes it or not, now has the opportunity to become one of the loudest voices shaping what MAGA becomes when its founder is no longer on the ballot. Some people fade the moment they leave office. Greene looks like she’s gathering force. John Mac Ghlionn is a writer and researcher who explores culture, society and the impact of technology on daily life.

MetaComputing AI PC with Framework Laptop 13 features CIX P1 12-core Arm processor with up to 45 TOPS - CNX Software
Added: Dec 4, 2025MetaComputing AI PC with Framework Laptop 13 features CIX P1 12-core Arm processor with up to 45 TOPS - CNX Software
Site: CNX Software - Embedded Systems News
MetaComputing, a Switzerland-based company founded in 2024, has announced the "MetaComputing AI PC with Framework Laptop 13" featuring the same CIX P1
MetaComputing, a Switzerland-based company founded in 2024, has announced the "MetaComputing AI PC with Framework Laptop 13" featuring the same CIX P1 12-core Cortex-A720/A520 SoC with 45 TOPS found in SBCs like the Orion O6 and Orange Pi 6 Plus, or the MINISFORUM MS-R1 mini PC.
As far as I know, it's the first laptop based on CIX P1. It features 16GB or 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD and ships with the Framework Laptop 13 chassis (Pro model). There's also a "Standard" model with a co-branded Framework and Cooler Master Case.
MetaComputing AI PC specifications (preliminary):
SoC – CIX P1 (CP8180)
12-core DynamIQ processor
4x Cortex‑A720 big cores @ up to 2.6 GHz 4x Cortex‑A720 medium cores 4x Cortex‑A520 LITTLE cores
Cache – 12MB shared L3 cache GPU – Arm Immortalis G720 MC10 with hardware ray-tracing support, graphics APIs: Vulkan 1.3, OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 3.0 VPU
Video Decoder – Up to 8Kp60 AV1, H.265, H.264, VP9, VP8, H.263, MPEG‑4, MPEG‑2 Video Encoder – Up to 8Kp30 H.265, H.264, VP9, VP8
AI accelerator – Up to 28.8 TOPS Neural Processing Unit (NPU) with support for INT4/INT8/INT16, FP16/BF16, and TF32; up to 45 TOPS with CPU+CPU+NPU Manufacturing Process – TSMC 6nm TDP – 28 Watts
Memory – 16GB or 32GB RAM Storage - 1TB NVMe SSD Display (Pro model only) - 13.5-inch display with 2256×1504 resolution, 60Hz refresh rate, 400nit brightness, and 100% sRGB color gamut Video Output (Standard model only) - HDMI expansion card Camera (Pro model only) - 1080p60 webcam Wireless – Intel Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 AX210 module USB
Standard model - USB-C expansion card Pro model - 2x USB-C expansion cards
User input (Pro model only) – QWERTY keyboard and touchpad Misc – Fingerprint reader (Pro model only) Power Supply - Via USB-C port Battery – 55Wh (Pro model only) Dimensions & Weight
Standard model - TBD Pro model - 296.63 x 228.98 x 15.85mm | 1.3kg
The specs are preliminary since the company provided limited details, and I used these, plus information from the Framework Laptop 13 and previous CIX P1 boards, to derive the specifications.
[caption id="attachment_161161" align="aligncenter" width="720"] MetaComputing AI PC with COOLER MASTER case[/caption]
The system comes preinstalled with Ubuntu 25.04, and the company claims that it provides "a stable and developer-friendly environment optimized for Arm and AI workloads" and that "users can easily run AI frameworks, development tools, and edge applications out of the box".
If the case feels familiar, it's because it's the same design as used in the DeepComputing DC-ROMA mainboard based on a StarFive JH7110 RISC-V Soc. DeepComputing and MetaComputing sound similar. A quick search shows both were founded by Yuning Liang, but they are separate entities, with the former established in Hong Kong, while the latter is newer and headquartered in Switzerland.
[caption id="attachment_161162" align="aligncenter" width="720"] The Framework Laptop 13 has a modular design[/caption]
It looks great on paper, but I have several concerns about the solution. First, as noted above, the technical specifications are rather light on details, and I could not see any demo of the laptop or mini AI PC. So I'm not even sure whether the hardware is ready or under development. I also have serious concerns about using the CIX P1 on a battery-powered laptop, as we've measured high idle power consumption on the Radxa Orion O6 (16-17W), and this was further confirmed by people who reviewed the MINISFORUM MS-R1 mini PC.
DeepComputing devices are often richly priced, and the MetaComputing AI PC with Framework Laptop 13 is also fairly expensive at $999 (16GB RAM) and $1,099 (32GB RAM). The "Standard" mini PC goes for $549/$649 in the same RAM configurations.

George Orwell's Six Rules for Writing Clear and Tight Prose | Open Culture Added: Dec 4, 2025
George Orwell’s Six Rules for Writing Clear and Tight Prose
Site: Open Culture
Image via Wikimedia Commons Most everyone who knows the work of George Orwell knows his 1946 essay “Politics and the English Language” (published here), in which he rails against careless, confusing, and unclear prose. “Our civilization is decadent,” he argues, “and our language… must inevitably share in the general collapse.” The examples Orwell quotes are all guilty in various ways of “staleness of imagery” and “lack of precision.”
Ultimately, Orwell claims, bad writing results from corrupt thinking, and often attempts to make palatable corrupt acts: “Political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible.” His examples of colonialism, forced deportations, and bombing campaigns find ready analogues in our own time.

DOGE Isn’t Dead. Here’s What Its Operatives Are Doing Now | WIRED Added: Dec 4, 2025
DOGE Isn’t Dead. Here’s What Its Operatives Are Doing Now
Site: WIRED
Contrary to popular reports, DOGE has “burrowed into the agencies like ticks,” government sources tell WIRED.
On Instagram, Choi described his work as ongoing, announcing that he was returning to the underground Pennsylvania mine where federal retirement claims are processed. “Like Jigga [Jay-Z] I showed them the blueprint back in April, now going back in the Mine to lead the pilots next week,” wrote Choi, who previously worked as an engineer at AirBnb and has referred to Canada as home in other Instagram posts. Choi did not respond to a request for comment. It’s not just Choi. Many of the original young and inexperienced DOGE technologists whose identities were first reported by WIRED appear to still be enmeshed in federal agencies. Edward “Big Balls” Coristine, Gavin Kliger, Marko Elez, Akash Bobba, and Ethan Shaotran all still claim to be affiliated with DOGE or the US government. So do other tech workers from Silicon Valley and Musk companies like xAI and SpaceX. Coristine, Kliger, Elez, Bobba, and Shaotran did not respond to requests for comment. The DOGE ethos—characterized by cutting contracts and government workers, consolidating data across agencies, and importing private sector practices—remains fully in force. While several media reports have suggested that DOGE has all but fizzled out, DOGE affiliates are scattered across the federal government working as developers, designers, and even leading agencies in powerful roles. “That’s absolutely false,” one USDA source says of reporting that DOGE has disbanded. “They are in fact burrowed into the agencies like ticks.” DOGE has “just transformed,” an IRS employee tells WIRED. While DOGE is no longer moving across the government in a move-fast-and-break-things blitz, DOGE affiliates appear to be digging in for the long haul—and Silicon Valley–shaped fingerprints remain all over the way agencies continue to be run. Over the last few weeks, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has rolled out coding tests to its hundreds of technical staff, quizzing them over their “technical proficiency.” The decision to roll out these tests came from Sam Corcos, a DOGE operative and chief information officer of the Treasury, according to a source familiar with the situation. Corcos is seeking to overhaul the IRS’s 8,500-person IT department, the source says. This is part of a larger ongoing “modernization” process at the US Treasury. The tests, administered through a tool called HackerRank, have been used by private-sector tech companies like Airbnb, LinkedIn, and PayPal to quiz a potential hire’s technical skill. One source at X, the social media company owned by Musk, tells WIRED that X uses “HackerRank’s tool to do coding screen-sharing for tech screens and remote interviews,” but confirmed that existing employees are not assessed with the tool. “They want to see IRS as like a tech company, that’s the feeling I get,” says an IRS employee who spoke to WIRED on the condition of anonymity, as they were not authorized to speak to the press. While coding tests are expected for candidates applying for technical roles, testing existing agency employees is highly unusual, four IRS sources tell WIRED. Early in DOGE’s tenure, staffers at the Technology Transformation Services (TTS) were forced to defend their projects on video calls with DOGE members. Government employees were also asked to send weekly emails detailing their work and achievements, which were later reviewed by artificial intelligence. (These emails and project reviews closely resemble the playbook Musk used when he took over X, formerly Twitter, in 2022.) Despite an all-hands meeting two weeks ago, employees say they still don’t feel like they have answers. “They’re keeping us in the dark,” says the IRS employee. “They won’t tell managers why [they’re issuing the tests] or how the results will be used.” Corcos and the IRS did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Other DOGE operatives are still working to slash regulations across government as well. Scott Langmack, a DOGE operative at the Department of Housing and Urban Development until July, is now serving as the executive director of “deregulation AI” at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). In this role, which Langmack took on in August, he is leading the development of “custom AI applications to accelerate the elimination of the excess regulation constraining American business,” according to his LinkedIn profile. Langmack and OMB did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Sam Beyda, who has reportedly been linked to DOGE, is now deputy chief of staff for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), after serving as a policy advisor to deputy secretary of Health and Human Services Jim O’Neill. He does not appear to have any public health experience. Prior to joining the federal government, Beyda, who graduated Columbia in 2023, worked at a company that helped manufacture cannabinoids. That company’s parent organization is headed by Beyda’s father-in-law. Since president Donald Trump’s inauguration, the CDC has lost more than a quarter of its staff, including employees specializing in topics like lead poisoning and HIV. In August, the CDC’s director left her post, later telling a Senate committee that she was fired. Her lawyers alleged that she had been “targeted” for refusing to fire CDC staff and “rubber stamp unscientific, reckless directives.” Beyda referred WIRED to the HHS press office, and a spokesperson said Beyda has “never worked for DOGE or DOGE-affiliated parts of the federal government.” The CDC did not respond to a request for comment. Over the last few months, a handful of DOGE operatives have migrated to a new White House office. In August, Airbnb cofounder Joe Gebbia, who was previously DOGE’s lead overhauling the federal retirement system, was appointed as US chief design officer. His new role was established through an executive order that would oversee a new group called the National Design Studio (NDS). According to the order, NDS is tasked with redesigning government web pages and digital services. Gebbia, the White House, and the Executive Office of the President (EOP) did not respond to requests for comment. NDS is housed within the EOP, just like the US DOGE Service (USDS). In August, WIRED reported that DOGE personnel who had been assigned to the General Services Administration (GSA) would transfer over to NDS. Several of the original DOGE operatives have joined the studio as well, including Coristine, who identifies as a member of the group in the bio of his X account as of last week. Choi cites both DOGE and NDS on his Instagram profile. Since NDS was created, the office has produced a handful of websites describing White House efforts on issues like health care, immigration, and public safety. The sites, which look more like something from a tech company than the federal government, host information related to programs like the Trump Gold Card and links to apply for law enforcement jobs like the Trump administration’s DC task force. Last week, Coristine and other NDS workers posted on X about their roles in the launch of the Trump administration’s “Genesis” AI mission, an Energy Department initiative to build an AI platform for scientific research. “The video, website, and branding were all made in-house by a group of 3 in a couple weeks,” Coristine posted to X last week. “Apply to have this level of ownership and scale.” Still, reports of DOGE’s collapse continue. Late last month, Reuters reported that DOGE had “disbanded,” citing statements from OPM that the group was no longer a centralized government entity. “The truth is: DOGE may not have centralized leadership under @USDS [United States DOGE Service]. But, the principles of DOGE remain alive and well: de-regulation; eliminating fraud, waste, and abuse; re-shaping the federal workforce; making efficiency a first-class citizen; etc. DOGE catalyzed these changes; the agencies along with @USOPM and @WHOMB will institutionalize them,” Scott Kupor, director of the Office of Personnel Management and former managing partner at the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, said in a statement posted to X late last month. The X account for DOGE, which regularly posts about contracts the group has cut, posted as well: “As usual, this is fake news from @Reuters. President Trump was given a mandate by the American people to modernize the federal government and reduce waste, fraud and abuse. Just last week, DOGE terminated 78 wasteful contracts and saved taxpayers $335M.” While some DOGE affiliates have remained in government, others have indeed left for new roles in the private sector, including at Musk-owned and -led companies. In August, Anthony Armstrong, a former investment banker at Morgan Stanley, left DOGE and his post in government at OPM and EOP to join Musk’s xAI as its chief financial officer, according to his LinkedIn profile. John Solly, who was part of the DOGE team at the Social Security Administration, now works for Leidos, a major government contractor with projects across several government agencies. Solly and Armstrong did not respond to requests for comment. In an appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast in October, Musk confirmed DOGE’s continuity himself. “DOGE is still happening, by the way,” Musk told Rogan. “DOGE is still underway, there is still waste and fraud being cut by the DOGE team.” “They don’t have like a clear person to attack anymore. They applied immense pressure to me to just stop it, so then I’m like, the best thing for me is to just cut out of this,” added Musk. “Now that I’m not in DC, they don’t really have a person to attack anymore.” Despite the apparent confusion over DOGE’s continual work and existence in government, DOGE affiliates are proceeding as usual. In his photo dump on Instagram about his work with DOGE and the government, Choi posted a banner with the phrase: "We do this not because it is easy, but because we thought it would be easy.” On the banner is a blue handwritten sticky note that reads “and we STILL think its [sic] easy!”
