- 1Can LeetCode keep critical thinking sharp in the AI era?●Ask HN: Can LeetCode (or similar) keep critical thinking sharp in the AI era?
A Hacker News discussion asks whether grinding algorithm puzzles like LeetCode can still keep programmers' critical thinking sharp now that AI tools write much of the code. Commenters are weighing whether deliberate problem-solving practice preserves reasoning skills or whether such drills have become detached from real engineering work in an era of AI assistance.
- 2Questions over Merz's citizen's allowance savings claims▼Wie viel wollte # Merz mit dem Bürgergeld einsparen? Ich meine 60 Milliarden war sein Höchstgebot. Und was kostet es nun
Discussion is mounting in Germany over how much Friedrich Merz and the CDU claimed they would save on the Bürgergeld, the country's citizen's allowance welfare benefit. Critics say Merz floated savings of up to 60 billion euros, and argue the real costs of the reforms have proven far higher than promised.

The post has drawn early attention from the Fediverse's free software community, where minimalist tooling projects often spark discussion about how much a static site generator really needs to do.

Analysis from a Jerusalem-based security think tank argues that Iran, weakened by recent setbacks, is leaning on two remaining levers of leverage: the Strait of Hormuz, through which much of the world's oil passes, and deliberate ambiguity about its nuclear programme. The piece suggests Tehran is signalling it can still disrupt global energy supplies and nuclear diplomacy despite reduced regional standing.
- 6Ken Paxton campaigns while skipping debates, analysts weigh in▼Ken Paxton hits campaign trail as political expert weighs in on strategy of avoiding debate
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is back on the campaign trail, but he is drawing attention as much for what he is not doing as for what he is. A political expert says Paxton's strategy of avoiding debates is a deliberate calculation: with strong name recognition and a loyal base, debates carry more risk than reward. The approach is fueling criticism from opponents who say he is dodging accountability.

A French-language quip doing the rounds online pokes fun at vague, meaningless phrasing: 'a tiny bit of not much at all really isn't much at all, as usual.' The line, tagged with humour and the French language, plays on the expression 'être de plus en plus' — being more and more — and is being shared as light linguistic satire, with readers amused by its deliberate emptiness.

A British science fiction comedy called The Time Diary is drawing attention with an outlandish premise: Paul McCartney accidentally helped invent time travel. The book, styled in the mould of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, pitches the idea as deliberately absurd, and early readers are sharing the sample with a mix of amusement and scepticism about the theory's logic.

The essay has drawn attention among technologists, with readers debating whether outsourcing thought to machines is progress or a loss of essential human skill.
