Reform MP seeks to heap pressure on Tory leader amid confusion around details of meeting with Giorgia Meloni

Robert Jenrick has accused Kemi Badenoch of telling “a pack of lies” about her meeting with the Italian prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, as he launched a deeply personal attack on his former boss.

The Reform UK MP sought to heap pressure on the Conservative leader amid confusion about whether Meloni urged Badenoch at a meeting in Rome to “be her own woman” and resist doing a deal with his party.

From heartbreaking spoken word to wry takes on the double standards women face, here are some of the late country singer’s lesser known gems

• Alexis Petridis on Dolly Parton’s peerless career

• Dolly Parton – a life in pictures

• Share your tributes and memories of Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton was one of the most gifted narrative lyricists ever – particularly when it came to telling the stories of women’s experiences. This is one of her more harrowing stories about a young woman (see also: The Bridge). Some will recognise this as a track on Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood’s album Nancy and Lee (where the backing singing is replaced with sweeping orchestra). But the clarity of Parton’s voice on the original, taken from her fifth album, 1970’s The Fairest of Them All, is staggering.

‘This is a profoundly flawed decision that endangers our children and is an affront to Texas values,’ Ken Paxton says

A federal judge has, for a second time, struck down a Texas state law banning drag performances in settings where children may be present.

In a ruling issued on Tuesday, US district judge David Hittner said Texas cannot enforce its drag show ban. He said that the measure improperly restricts speech and violates the first amendment of the US constitution.

И так, что мы имеем и для чего же собственно эта статья? Когда человеку ставят задачу в духе «Придумай пароль» — он берет и генерирует самостоятельно некую псевдослучайную последовательность, что в будущем именуется паролем (или с помощью генераторов паролей, которые встроены во все популярные браузеры, или с помощью установленных утилит). Казалось бы, можно и так понять, что самые часто используемые слова в духе «мама», «папа», «пароль» и другие — вполне объяснимы. Это то, что нас в большинстве своем объединяет, а потому может намного чаще встречаться в паролях. Не все люди хотят заморачиваться и отказываться от простых и понятных аналогиях. На примере старшего поколения моей семьи (бабуле) могу хоть сколько раз подтвердить, что ее излюбленный пароль был именем дочери и годом ее рождения.

А ведь в таких псевдо случайных генерациях можно встретить «проблему раскладки» (то, что проанализировано было в русском сегменте только в 2025 году следующими лицами: Леа Мюллер, Аушриус Юозапавичюс, Владимир Охримчук, Стефан Зюттерлин в работе «Поиск в словаре с использованием преобразованных русских слов на клавиатуре QWERTY», P. S. я мог допустить ошибки в переводе информации, за что прошу прощения). Если кратко, то это создает некую «маску», зная которую можно облегчить взлом. Подобные словари встречаются в открытом доступе, и еще чаще встречаются в недоброжелательном сообществе за разные суммы денег.

Bird eggs intercepted in homemade incubators at Johannesburg airport as officials try to halt wildlife trafficking

South African police have arrested two Thai nationals in separate incidents for allegedly attempting to smuggle endangered parrot eggs out of the country as authorities try to stem the tide of wildlife trafficking.

A 50-year-old Thai national was arrested at OR Tambo international airport in Johannesburg on 20 August, carrying 50 bird eggs in a homemade incubator in a hand-luggage bag, South Africa’s environment ministry said in a statement.

The cookbook author and owner of Melbourne’s Beatrix Bakes shares a her ‘100% reliable’ formula for freeing bundts from tins

When all the layer cakes are baked and iced, I will always love a slice of pretty patterned bundt. Especially one that is lightened with the perfect amount of baking powder (overly dense bundts are stodgy sadness) and brightened with limes and yoghurt.

Cake goop – a mix of flour, oil and butter – is a gift of guaranteed cake release that I found on the internet, and it means no more stuck bundts. Bless the baker who invented it! Goop has it all – release, plus enough sticking power to hold the batter as it rises and cools, without slumping. Additionally, mixing the flour with oil means you don’t get that fine, white, dusty crust on the outside of the cooked cake. Goop is 100% reliable with a 100% untarnished release record in my kitchen.

The day before Anthony Albanese secured agreement with states and territories to develop national datacentre standards, a small council in Tasmania was grappling with the existing regulations in the face of strong community opposition to a new AI factory planned for its town.

The George Town council voted 6-1 to approve the plans of Australian developer Firmus to build a 288 megawatt (MW) datacentre at Long Reach, north of Launceston, but said it did so reluctantly.

Research finds just 0.1-0.4% of the total insured population will ditch insurance, while the government will save as much as $940m a year

Removing the higher private health insurance rebate for people aged 65 and over is good policy that is unlikely to place additional pressure on public hospitals, according to health economists.

The proposed changes, set to take effect in April 2027, will mean the private health insurance rebate will depend only on how much money a person earns – matching the rules for people aged under 65.

Привет, Хабр! Одним из моих направлений работ является создание базы знаний по обучающим курсам, которые включают текст и видеоматериалы. И некоторое время назад у меня возник вопрос: какое решение для меня будет оптимальным для распознавания текста на кадрах. В частности, что лучше мне подойдет — VLM или связка OCR + LLM, облачное решение или локальная установка.

Более того, я углубился в тематику OCR: посмотрел ряд типичных задач для OCR и материал на Хабр, провел ряд экспериментов. Надеюсь, данная обзорная статья и мои примеры на GitHub помогут вам быстрее попробовать различные варианты и подобрать оптимальный для своих задач.

We are very happy to announce the Rust Project's first round of Maintainers in Residence: Gen Li (@rami3l), Chris Denton (@ChrisDenton), Alejandra González (@blyxyas), León Liehr (@fmease), and Maintainer Grant recipients: Jason Newcomb (@Jarcho) and Jonas Böttiger (@joboet). These contributors will be funded for their rust-lang maintenance activities for (at least) the following 12 months!

The funding of the Maintainer in Residence (MiR) and Maintainer Grantee roles is possible thanks to generous donations to the Rust Foundation Maintainers Fund (RFMF) from Google, AWS, OpenAI, the Rust Project Leadership Council and also individual sponsors. We also want to thank the people who advocated for maintainer funding within their companies; Tyler Mandry from Google, Niko Matsakis and Jess Izen from AWS and Predrag Gruevski from OpenAI, and also the whole Rust Leadership Council and our funding advisors. If you would like to help us support even more Rust contributors, consider donating to RFMF.

The Rust Foundation has published a press release and a blog post, where you can learn more about the sponsors and the supported contributors.

Read more below to learn about the MiR program, how we chose the funded contributors, and of course who they are!

Background

The Maintainer in Residence program, established in RFC 3931, is designed to provide stable financial support for Rust contributors, so that they can truly focus on crucial maintenance activities. Currently, there are three categories of support that we offer:

• Full-time MiR: funded for 5 days/week of Rust Project work
• Half-time MiR: funded for ~2.5 days/week of Rust Project work
• Maintainer Grant: funded for ~1 day/week of Rust Project work

Funding for this program comes from the Rust Foundation Maintainers Fund, which was launched recently, and the whole program is managed by the Rust Funding team.

When deciding who to fund, we took a systematic approach. First, we looked at Rust teams to understand their maintenance baseline (the smallest number of maintainers they need to ensure a healthy long-term status of the given project or repository), and how far they currently are from that baseline. From there, we identified and prioritized Rust teams who were both critically underfunded, and have a high impact on the language and its users. These teams (in no particular order) were rustdoc, rustup, cargo, compiler, libs, clippy, rustfmt, rust analyzer and mods.

The next step was pairing these teams with maintainers looking for funding. And it turns out that finding such maintainers for some teams turned out to be much more difficult than we originally assumed! For example, some maintainers are already employed, some do not want to be funded, and while we did our best to promote our funding efforts, not everyone looking for funding actually asked us for it. We also realized that some teams on our list have essentially no active members, which makes it tricky to onboard new contributors, even if they would like to help out.

In the end, we decided to start by supporting six contributors, who will help maintain several critical Rust projects and teams and who could start immediately. However, we are not stopping there. Our funding efforts are ongoing, so stay tuned for more MiR announcements in the near future! If you would like to learn more about our process, check out our recent post.

And now, without further ado, let's meet our newly funded maintainers!

Gen Li (@rami3l)

Gen Li (@rami3l) is a full-time MiR focusing on Rustup.

He has been a Rustup team member since 2023 and its lead since 2025. He deeply cares about the facets of Rust that many might have taken for granted, and embodies all attributes we were looking for in a MiR: he wants to take on complex issues, continue mentoring, and work on important Rustup features, among many other things.

Turning volunteering into an actual job has really been an empowering experience so far! I finally have the bandwidth to take a careful look at my inbox and can actually read each message without the fear of missing crucial details while rushing prompt replies, which has really helped me retain the essential compassion as a maintainer. I also get to interact with regular contributors a lot more often. Finally, I can't wait to see what I can come up with in terms of Project Goals :)

Chris Denton (@ChrisDenton)

Chris Denton (@ChrisDenton) is a half-time MiR focusing on the standard library, compiler, Rustup and anything Windows-related.

For the past five years Chris has been bringing his deep knowledge of Windows to help Rust sustain and improve its great cross-platform support. He will be unblocking other contributors in various Windows use cases, performing refactoring and code reviews and implementing new features across several areas of the Project.

Even though it is still early days, I'm feeling pretty optimistic about the health of the Rust Project going forward, thanks to the recent funding efforts.

Alejandra González (@blyxyas)

Alejandra González (@blyxyas) is a half-time MiR focusing on Clippy.

She is a Clippy team member always keen on improving performance and helping new contributors. She will focus on making Clippy faster and also reviewing its pull requests, to help get the ~300 pull request backlog down. Additionally, she is excited to mentor people from the Rust for Linux project to work on Clippy, and fine tune the open peer review system that Clippy started using earlier this year.

Funding is the system that helps me pour my heart into a project without worrying about making ends meet. Having those needs met is a game-changer and boosts my productivity. One of the areas where I want to focus my efforts is mentoring new contributors. If new people coming is the lifeblood of a project, I want to be the cardiologist!

León Liehr (@fmease)

León Liehr (@fmease) is a half-time MiR focusing on rustdoc and the compiler.

He is a member of the rustdoc and compiler teams, who is usually working on the Rust type system or issues related to parsing. He will continue working on complex features that he started a few years ago, and also focus on general maintenance, code reviews, refactoring and mentoring.

Being funded to work on Rust means I can sustainably focus my time and energy on a project I call a passion of mine.

Jonas Böttiger (@joboet)

Jonas Böttiger (@joboet) is a maintainer grantee focusing on the standard library.

He is a musicology student from Germany. When he is not playing the Cello or reading about Fanny Hensel, he applies his research skills to ensure that programs written in Rust run quickly and soundly on all platforms, no matter how quirky the operating system may be. He loves helping contributors write excellent code that they can be proud of; and considers it to be just as much fun as writing it himself.

Getting funding for my work is a dream come true. It will allow me to continue doing the thing I love instead of worrying about whether I should rather invest all that time in a money-earning job with much less positive impact on the world around me.

Jason Newcomb (@Jarcho)

Jason Newcomb (@Jarcho) is a maintainer grantee focusing on Clippy.

He is primarily working on fixing bugs and making it easier to develop and contribute to Clippy. He is also focusing on making the review process as smooth as possible.

Being funded allows me to work on something I care about and want to work on instead of what will get me paid. I'm looking forward to seeing how this will impact Clippy and the Rust project in general.

Conclusion

The contributors presented above will be funded for the next 12 months, though of course we hope that we will be able to extend their support going further, as this program is designed to be for long-term stable maintenance funding. We are very excited about them; each one of them has been with the Project for years, and we are very glad that we can support their maintenance work! All of them have already signed their contracts, so they are already being funded as we speak.

While there are many other Rust contributors who are doing awesome work, and who would also deserve to get proper funding for it, we think that this is a great start. We hope that the awesome work done by the funded maintainers will allow us to promote this program, so that we can fund even more Rust contributors!

We would like to once again sincerely thank everyone who made this possible, especially our sponsors. If you would like to help us fund more maintainers, consider donating to RFMF. You can also sponsor individual Rust contributors directly.

В августе 2026 года появились новые подробности о первом устройстве OpenAI и Джони Айва. По данным СМИ, компания работает над небольшим портативным гаджетом без экрана примерно размером с хоккейную шайбу, с микрофонами, камерами и другими сенсорами. Из‑за формы его уже успели сравнить с пончиком. Сам OpenAI устройство пока официально не представлял. После заявлений Сэма Альтмана о то что компания создают новое революционное устройство, это выглядит довольно скромно. Умные колонки появились уже больше десяти лет назад.

Но, возможно, стоит уделить внимание не самому устройству, а тому к чему движется индустрия. OpenAI ещё в 2025 году, когда команда io Products вошла в компанию, говорил не об одном гаджете, а о создании семейства AI‑продуктов. А руководство OpenAI (включая Сэма Альтмана и финансового директора Сару Фриар) сформулировали на их взгляд другую фундаментальную проблему: компьютеры (гаджеты) уже научились видеть, понимать и рассуждать, но пользовательские интерфейсы всё ещё во многом принадлежат предыдущей технологической эпохе.

Думаю, что именно отсюда стоит обратить внимание и посмотреть, что сейчас происходит с AI‑очками, наушниками, колонками и другими экспериментальными устройствами. На рынке начинается борьба за новое направление — персональный ИИ компаньон, постоянно присутствующий слой между человеком, его устройствами и цифровым миром. А сегодняшние AI‑гаджеты, возможно, лишь первые интерфейсы к этой системе.

Ocean Conservancy says last year’s cleanup collected 13.9m pieces of rubbish from beaches and rivers worldwide

More than 1.3m plastic bottles were collected from beaches, rivers and waterways last year during the world’s largest single-day volunteer ocean cleanup.

About 630,000 people took part in the International Coastal Cleanup in 2025, removing almost 13.9m pieces of rubbish from more than 15,000 miles of coastline and waterways.

• Promoter says negotiations are subject to a time limit

• ‘They won’t let it go past the end of next week’

Frank Warren believes that the tortuous negotiations surrounding the proposed fight between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are subject to a time limit which will run out by the end of next week. Conceding that he is unsure if the much-delayed bout will happen, Warren also said the decision now depends solely on Joshua and that Fury, whom he promotes, is already in training in the US and ready to fight an alternative opponent in November.

“Nothing’s been signed off as yet,” Warren said in regard to a revised contract for Fury and Joshua to fight in New York. “Everybody’s talking and talking rather than getting on with the business and getting it done. I think it will happen and if it doesn’t, and I think there’s a time limit on it, by the way, it will be one of those fights that slipped by.

When Celtic opened the scoring against Lask courtesy of a low Callum McGregor shot after 21 minutes on Tuesday night, the Scottish champions looked to have exorcised their Bigger Cup demons from 12 months ago. Four goals ahead of their Austrian hosts on aggregate, it seemed utterly inconceivable that Martin O’Neill’s side could emulate, let alone eclipse, their humiliation at the hands of Kairat Almaty last August and the match commentator intoned as much. “And with that moment, this tie surely moves beyond the grasp of Lask,” soothed Bill Leslie, as the Celtic skipper’s deflected daisy-cutter fizzed past the home goalkeeper and rippled the Austrian champions’ net. While one could argue Bill has commentated on enough fitba over the years to know better than to count unhatched chickens, not even the combined forces of Mystic Meg and Nostradamus could have foreseen the calamitous capitulation that was about to unfold. From a position of apparent indomitability, Celtic proceeded to ship five goals without reply to endure what is arguably the Grand Old Team To Play For’s greatest European embarrassment yet.

I gave up trying to understand football finances long ago, but even so I’m staggered by how many clubs have been able to get shot of underperforming recruits recently, for a price way more than they paid for the (now unwanted) player in the first place. Oh, and while I’m here, anyone interested in buying a second hand telly? The sound doesn’t work and I’ve lost the remote; I paid £50 for it but I’ll take £100” – Phil Taverner.

Noble Francis’s letter about Chelsea’s game-winning arithmetic tactics (yesterday’s Football Daily letters) is so reminiscent of Kevin Keegan’s Newcastle. Who cares if the other side score nine, we’ll score 10, seemed to be the mindset. As for Chelsea against the rest of the Premier League, for the sake of my fantasy team, I’ll love it if they beat them” – Ken Muir.

Sophie Lainault, who worked for Air France, wins legal case linking illness to more than 12,600 hours on flights

A flight attendant in France has succeeded in having her breast cancer recognised as an occupational disease, a first for the country’s aviation industry, her lawyer and a trade union said.

The ruling, which recognised that Sophie Lainault, a former flight attendant for Air France, had frequently worked at night and been exposed to passive smoking, could pave the way for similar claims, the lawyer and the CFDT union said.

Sentiment in hospitality and brewing sectors more positive since business rates action, trade bodies’ survey finds

Pubs, bars and hotels have reported a “Burnham bounce” in optimism as a result of the prime minister’s overtures to the sector, polling suggests, but they warn that the goodwill could evaporate without further tax relief.

Andy Burnham has positioned himself as a staunch ally of the UK’s hospitality industry both before and since his arrival at No 10, announcing last month a discount on business rates for pubs, clubs and live music venues.

The climate crisis means “we’re going to have to change everything – the way we live, the way we produce, the way we trade,” France’s veteran radical-left firebrand, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, told the summer congress of his France Insoumise party last weekend.

The term “climate change”, said Mélenchon – the most likely rival to Marine Le Pen in next year’s presidential run-off, according to one poll this week – may sound “almost reassuring”, but its actual impact will feel like “landing on another planet whenever we leave home”.
