Volgens de rechter was B. onder meer betrokken bij het voorbereiden van de moord op Derk Wiersum. Zijn groep zou verkenningen hebben uitgevoerd rondom de woning en het kantoor van de strafrechtadvocaat. Ook regelde de groep auto’s voor de schutters.

Across four days Manchester United have lost the 199th derby to Manchester City, were told by JJ Gabriel he wants to leave, and have now been knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Brighton.
Capitulating after being 2-0 up may be the pick of these dizzying blows, and when Marcus Rashford skated in with the chance to take the tie to 3-3 late on, there was no surprise he hit Jason Steele rather than the net.

Ronaldo had called for lifetime bans for those supporters
The Saudi Pro League club Al-Taawoun have been fined nearly £20,000 and given a two-game stadium ban after fans chanted about the late Liverpool and Portugal forward Diogo Jota.
The Al-Hilal midfielder Rúben Neves, who played with Jota for Wolves and Portugal, was shown gesturing to the sky after audible chants of “Jota” from Al-Taawoun fans could be heard during Saturday’s league game.

It is rarely a good idea to dismiss Xhaka but reaching that showpiece in Frankfurt will necessitate considerably more efficient finishing on his team’s part than proved evident on a highly evocative night on Wearside.

‘No one is more hurt than me, no one wanted it more’
Thomas Tuchel stands by his heavily criticised defensive substitutions in the World Cup semi-final defeat against Argentina this summer, but the England head coach accepts he made them too early.
Tuchel said England were “waiting for death”, unable to cope with the attacking tactics adopted by Argentina in Atlanta as they chased the game after Anthony Gordon’s opener on the hour. He said fatigue and the success of defending with a back five in knockout games against Mexico and Norway also influenced his decisions to sit on the lead.
Continue reading...For Aston Villa, an overdue drama-free outing as Unai Emery’s side cruised into the Carabao Cup fourth round courtesy of a Tammy Abraham double and a Ross Barkley header.
Unfortunately for Coventry, it was a sorry case of more of the same. Frank Lampard’s side have lost five of their six matches in all competitions and continue to leak soft goals. It was hard to know whether Abraham’s tap-in or Barkley’s free header, both from corners, was worse from a Coventry perspective. The sight of Lampard hunched in the dugout, hands clasped, has become a familiar sight.

The House of Representatives voted on Wednesday to hold billionaire investor Leon Black in contempt of Congress over his refusal to comply with subpoenas issued to him by the House oversight committee as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
The action came a day after the committee voted unanimously to recommend that the House hold Black in contempt. Wednesday’s House vote passed under unanimous consent, meaning there was not a formal roll call, but no member objected to the contempt resolution.

The timing could hardly be better. After a week when the discourse around women’s sport has been dominated by the actor Sydney Sweeney posing naked – and the intense backlash and counter-backlash – London will stage a major all-female track‑and‑field event on Friday.
A sell-out crowd at the Athlos meeting at the StoneX Stadium in Hendon will feature Britain’s Keely Hodgkinson, along with the American stars Gabby Thomas and Tara Davis-Woodhall, competing for a prize fund of $1m (£750,000). There will be a red-carpet parade, celebrities galore and a celebration of the best of female sport.

Knock loud, I’m home - Dimitri Bourriau
The circus is back in town, Emily Thompson
@D9ping True point, I don't think there is a distro that includes lnav by default (same with `rg` «ripgrep» instead of grep) but on my machines I install them. With customers it's back to tail (or the ELK stack if we run containers)
The last year i switched from `tail -f` and `journalctl -f` to `lnav`. It's a modern logfile navigator which helps you find what you are looking for. Today I had a nagging little problem because some logs end in journald and some just as file. When you want to follow sources from both, the solution might not be so obvious.

The gang from Craighill explains the origins and uses of three seemingly small design details that show up everywhere: pips, nubs, and the very useful union of pips and nubs. You’ve seen pips on dice and dominos, nubs are used for Braille text, and the pips/nubs combo is used for locks or stops that can be released under pressure. Craighill even has a pips + nubs category in their online store. (thx, rion)
If you rely on the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s weekly vulnerability bulletin to keep you up to date on the latest threats, we have bad news. It’s being discontinued at the end of September. CISA announced on Wednesday that its weekly vulnerability bulletin would stop going out on Monday, September 28, saying the move was part of its shift from managing vulnerabilities based on severity to “a modern, risk-based approach.” That approach, as CISA explains, is detailed in a June Binding Operational Directive (BOD) that explains how covered federal civilian agencies should prioritize security updates based on real-world risk rather than treating all vulnerabilities and systems equally. “This Directive evolves upon CISA’s known exploited vulnerabilities catalog and increases mission readiness across the federal government by efficiently prioritizing high-risk vulnerabilities for timely action, while deferring action against low-risk vulnerabilities,” the agency explained in June. Evidence of exposure and exploitation, degree of control granted by exploitation, and whether exploitation of the vulnerability can be automated are all part of what goes into determining severity, according to a remediation table included in the June announcement. The June BOD, in a sense, moves covered federal civilian agencies away from relying on static CVSS scores alone when prioritizing vulnerabilities, which helps explain why CISA might want to eliminate the weekly bulletin. The agency didn’t explain, however, why it chose to scrap the bulletin rather than adapt it to the BOD's new standards. One possibility could be that the list of new vulnerabilities is simply getting too big to fit into a weekly email. Patches are addressing rapidly growing numbers of vulnerabilities every time they roll out thanks to AI-assisted security research, while the National Vulnerability Database is still facing a massive backlog and the broader CVE ecosystem is increasingly having to sift through bogus AI-generated reports to identify genuine vulnerabilities. CISA doesn’t want security professionals to abandon CVEs altogether, however. The announcement mentions that those who need to stay up to date on vulnerability information should instead rely on CISA’s known exploited vulnerabilities catalog, its cybersecurity alerts and advisories, and the CVE catalog itself. That means anyone who currently receives and relies on the weekly bulletin needs to log into the GovDelivery or Granicus account and ensure the KEV Catalog and Cybersecurity Advisories subscriptions are enabled. Critical notices could be missed if not, and CISA clearly isn’t too concerned about the potential hiccups this might cause. “CISA remains committed to strengthening national cyber defense and helping organizations prioritize remediation based on real-world risk,” the agency said. Clearly, it doesn’t believe cutting off a regular method of notifying users of critically ranked vulnerabilities falls inside that new risk paradigm, even if the scores are static. ®
Dear Reader,
The New York Times recently asked dozens of 10-year-olds what the world will be like in 2050. Some are hopeful: a woman will finally be president of the U.S., people will be more kind, and everyone will have a pet fox. Others, though, feel as if they’ve been plucked straight from a dystopian hellscape: world wars, monarchic rule supplanting voting, embedded brain sensors that send your thoughts straight to an app, and the end of human civilization entirely. Whether optimistic or not, these children mention A.I. again and again. In their futures, it’s an inextricable fixture of life.
A.I.’s exponential growth has accelerated fears about its power, prompting numerous executives and technologists to warn that it’s time to slow such rapid expansions. Whatever your feelings, it’s clear that we’re collectively witnessing a moment that will shape our world for generations.
For artists, illustrators, designers, and writers like me, A.I. is not only a threat to our livelihoods but to the very substance of our humanity. The question is not whether a bot could create a technically proficient painting or describe a sculpture with more insight than I could, but rather about what we lose from outsourcing the singular technology that is ours. Art is uniquely human and one of the greatest drivers of empathy and connection with one another. As I’ve come to understand, it’s also a true act of faith in a world that can make hope feel impossible.
For the past seven years, I’ve spoken with thousands of curious and creative people striving each day to draw attention to the misunderstood, the overlooked, and the unimaginable. Artists are uniquely primed to envision alternative ways of being, and in their profound acts of generosity, they share their hopes for the great and small with us. Their faith, in turn, becomes something we can all take part in.
Colossal operates on generosity, too, propelled not by an algorithm or an A.I. model but by a devoted team of just four people. We strive to ensure that the widest array of readers, from students and educators to fellow creatives and art appreciators, have the opportunity to engage with artists’ work they might not otherwise encounter. We also prioritize a deeply human process. Every facet of the magazine, from selecting images to writing headlines to compiling our daily newsletter, is done with our hands.
Although we certainly could be more efficient if we automated and outsourced our efforts, we know that would be the end of what makes Colossal what it is. We understand that in embracing friction, we’re supporting the artists, illustrators, designers, and more who have so generously shared themselves and their dreams with us. We’re also actively creating the world we want to live in.
But we can’t do this alone. An intentional and people-powered process like ours requires real resources, and less than 0.5% of our weekly readership financially contributes to Colossal. Increasing that support to 1% would mean cementing our long-term survival and ensuring we can continue to celebrate the unbridled human creativity that has come to characterize the magazine for the last 16 years.
Becoming a Colossal Member is both an act of generosity and a direct line to the work that matters. Colossal Members believe in the power of creativity and have faith that it can help usher in a better tomorrow. When there’s a rapid shift to sleek, frictionless life, they champion the nuanced, messy, and idiosyncratic, and the art that can only be made by humans, for humans.
Yours in hope,
Grace Ebert

NEW YORK (ANP) - De aandelenbeurzen in New York zijn woensdag met overwegend rode cijfers gesloten. De aandacht van beleggers op Wall Street ging vooral uit naar het rentebesluit van de Federal Reserve. Zoals verwacht verhoogde de Amerikaanse centrale bank de rente voor het eerst in meer dan drie jaar om de hoge inflatie te bestrijden.
De Fed verhoogt de rente met een kwart procentpunt, wat een unaniem besluit was van de beleidsmakers bij de centrale bank. De Fed voorziet later dit jaar nog een verhoging van de leenkosten in 's werelds grootste economie. Met de verhoging gaat de Fed wel in tegen de vurige wens van president Donald Trump voor een lage rente. Trump vindt dat de Amerikaanse rente de laagste ter wereld moet zijn.
De Dow-Jonesindex eindigde 1,2 procent lager op 51.461,90 punten. De brede S&P 500 daalde 0,5 procent tot 7551,81 punten en de technologiegraadmeter Nasdaq was vrijwel onveranderd op 25.978,43 punten.
"Anthropic's CEO took the stage at a conference in San Francisco on Tuesday to reiterate his call for a slowdown of AI development," reports the Guardian, " while Nvidia's CEO argued against slowing its development. "Run as fast as you can."
Amodei is calling for three courses of action: embedding third-party evaluators inside AI companies; coordinating safety standards among Democratic countries; and, eventually, larger global coordination. At Dreamforce, Amodei said Anthropic has committed to independent evaluators and was "going to have a dialogue with the rest of the industry" on the other two steps. Amodei, xAI's Elon Musk and OpenAI's Sam Altman have recently called for a slowdown in the pace of AI development. ["Dario is right," Musk posted on X.com]
Huang, who also made an appearance at Dreamforce on Tuesday, said companies should not slow down AI development. He argued that new regulations were not necessary, advising AI companies to simply wait to release products until they know they are safe rather than begging the US government to intervene... One day prior at the All-In summit in Los Angeles, Donald Trump called Huang while the CEO was on stage. Huang put the president on speakerphone as Trump called the growing concern about AI a "hoax" and asserted again that a slowdown would only benefit China...
[OpenAI's] Altman said AI models had advanced so quickly that monitoring and security need to be treated with a "new level of rigor", calling an incident in which OpenAI agents hacked into another company a "wake-up call" for the industry. He also said the public was very "right to be afraid" of AI because of the potential loss of control, and the possibility of a small group of powerful AI companies exerting their views on the world.
The cofounder of Google DeepMind posted on X that "Dario's essay points towards the right path forward." And in an internal memo, Microsoft's Satya Nadella endorsed broader third-party testing and warned that companies must take time to make the technology safe, Business Insider reports. Monday Microsoft also published a 37-page training manual "for how we develop our AI, and how we intend it to function during deployment," requesting public feedback.
But Michael Burry "is not buying it," reports The Street. The investor made famous in The Big Short "dismissed the united front as 'self-serving' and laid out four numbered objections..."
He argued that large language models are not artificial general intelligence, so there is nothing meaningful left to slow down. Fast competition benefits incumbents, he said, and danger warnings work as hype ahead of IPOs. The whole exercise, he added, could mask growth that is already slowing as those IPOs get pushed back.
Former Meta AI chief Yann LeCun is also skeptical, posting on X.com that Anthropic's Dario Amodei "was already claiming that GPT2 was too dangerous to open source back in 2019. I made fun of them then. Everyone should make fun of them now."
Timnit Gebru, the co-lead of Google's AI ethics team who was fired in 2020, even thinks the AI companies are stoking fears of extinction "to avoid discussing actual harms, like autonomous weapons," according to Wired.
But others still remain concerned. "I've been in rooms with the hyperscalers, and the Trump administration officials, and none of them know what to do," CNN commentator Van Jones said in a recent panel discussion. "So I do want to say: nobody's flying the plane on this... I think that the ethicists that work for them — when they are quitting, and they are running out, and they're pointing back at the building and they're waving their arms, and saying 'I'm seeing stuff that's scaring me' — we should take that very seriously."
