This is actually pretty amazing news. In Malaysia, one does not simply change the government.

Mahathir is back! And it’s good news for Malaysia!
Pollsters gave the Malaysian opposition a 15% chance of winning this election but they got it wrong again. 61 years of one party’s rule has come to an end in Malaysia.
I didn’t think I would ever welcome back Mahathir Mohamad as Malaysian Prime Minister, but I do now because it means the cleptocracy of Najib Razak has come to an end. At 92, Mahathir becomes the oldest world leader. What an achievement!
My Malaysian friends and family will be overjoyed at this result. I hope Mahathir lives up to his promise, pardons Anwar Ibrahim and stands aside so that Anwar can take over as Prime Minister.
Definitely good enough to book a table at Cafe Turing.

Google’s AI Can Now Make Bookings by Phone.
Google’s new ‘Duplex’ AI has just been demoed at Google’s developer conference. It can book a table or a haircut over the phone and pass as a human complete with natural sounding ums and ahs. Some audio of bookings is in the link below. The AI sounds clearer and, strangely, more natural than any of the real people on the other end of the line!
When the feature rolls out the software will tell the person on the other end he or she is talking to a digital assistant.

Prepack is yet another tool that aims to compile JavaScript to equivalent JavaScript code.
Prepack is yet another tool that aims to compile JavaScript to equivalent JavaScript code. But unlike Babel or Uglify, Prepack isn’t focused on new features or code size.
Instead, Prepack lets you write normal JavaScript code, and outputs equivalent JavaScript code that runs faster.
Seriously.

We did call her Bloody Gina.
We did call her Bloody Gina. Gina was always very quick and very willing to use force. Gina and people like Gina did it, I think, because they enjoyed doing it. They tortured just for the sake of torture, not for the sake of gathering information.
…unless Congress awakens to confront this nightmare and deny Gina Haspel’s nomination as director of the CIA, torture will have transformed us and so it will consume us. Gina Haspel is a torturer. We are torturers. It is as if Nuremberg never happened.
Nuremberg has already no longer happened.
