📰 AI Helped Uncover A "50-80x Improvement" For Linux's IO_uring
Linux block maintainer and IO_uring lead developer Jens Axboe recently was debugging some slowdowns in the AHCI/SCSI code with IO_uring usage. When turning to Claude AI to help in sorting through the issue, patches were devised that can deliver up to a "literally yield a 50-80x improvement on the io_uring side for idle systems."

🇺🇸 Texas residents were left stunned when a world-renowned chef who once catered events for George W. Bush was deported for crossing the border illegally in 1989. 😳
Sergio Garcia — a beloved figure in Waco known for his wildly popular Mexican food truck — was originally arrested in March over a two-decade-old deportation order.
The chef was loading Sergio’s Food Truck when he was approached by a man in plainclothes, while another man wearing a vest marked POLICE stood nearby, reports The Waco Bridge. 🚓🌮
“They asked me if I'm Sergio, and I said, ‘Yeah, I'm Sergio.’ Then they said, ‘You gotta come with us,’” Garcia recounted.

📰 Conservatives Who Once Railed Against Federal Agents Now Applaud Them
For decades, right-wing populists have excoriated federal law enforcement, citing tragedies like Ruby Ridge and Waco as proof of government overreach. Now, under President Donald Trump, many of those same conservatives are cheering on federal agents as they crack down on immigration and unrest in cities like Minneapolis. The shift highlights how political allegiance shapes attitudes toward federal power—applauding crackdowns on adversaries while condemning them when they target allies.
From Enemies to Enforcers
Trump’s deployment of ICE, the Border Patrol, and the National Guard has transformed federal agents from bogeymen to heroes in the eyes of many conservatives. Critics say this reflects “motivated reasoning”—support for police action depends on who’s being targeted. When federal agents confront immigrants or minorities, conservative voices are often silent or supportive, but when they target anti-government activists, the outrage returns.
The Legacy of Ruby Ridge and Waco
Ruby Ridge and Waco became rallying cries for anti-government movements, fueling distrust of federal law enforcement. But today, with Trump in power, many right-wing activists have embraced federal agents as tools of law and order. The shift underscores how political power can reshape perceptions of authority.
Who’s the Enemy Now?
As federal agents raid homes and neighborhoods, the question is: Who decides when police action is justified? The answer seems to depend less on the law than on who’s in charge—and who’s being targeted.
