Council authorized staff to apply for SANDAG ATP (Trail 82, a shovel‑ready $6M DG trail along Rancho Santa Fe Road) and multiple Caltrans HSIP projects (citywide pedestrian safety enhancements, Leucadia and Nardo sidewalk infill, guardrail upgrades), committing nominal local matches and directing interagency review and mobility commission input.

Roswell voted unanimously to adopt an intergovernmental Service Delivery Strategy under state law, specifying which services the city provides versus county/cross-jurisdictional arrangements (examples: E-911, water, warming/cooling shelter policy, animal-control dialogue). Council authorized the city administrator and city attorney to accept minor Department of Community Affairs edits.

The user's point is correct: moving a credential from literal Task.spec.env to a Secret reference would improve storage and transport, but it would not keep the credential from a process that receives it. An agent able to inspect its environment, mounted files, process memory or local tools can use…

TL;DR: The Strategic Petroleum Reserve has an authorized capacity of 714 million barrels, stored in salt caverns across four Gulf Coast sites. That headline number hides the rooms, wells, pipelines, construction outages, and geologic limits that determine how much oil can move when somebody reaches

The board authorized purchase of five Ford F‑550 ambulances for $1,884,250 and approved upfitting equipment and services from Stryker Medical for $1,048,507.60, bringing the combined procurement to about $2.93 million to outfit advanced life support ambulances.

The increase comes four months after the chip giant added $80 billion to its buyback program, bringing the total remaining authorized amount to $235 billion.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has increased the authorized strength of the country’s Armed Forces to 2,441,630 personnel, of whom 1,550,500 are service members. The order was signed on September 28 and took effect the same day. The government has been directed to allocate additional funds to the Ministry of Defense to support the larger force. This marks the fourth change to the official staffing level of the Russian military since the beginning of 2026. In March, Putin set the number at 2,391,770 personnel, including 1,502,640 service members. In June, the total rose to 2,399,130, with 1,510,000 military personnel. Just two months ago, on July 27, another order raised the level by 27,000 to 2,426,130, and increased the number of service members by 25,000 to 1,535,000. At that time, the Kremlin explicitly linked the change to the creation of military construction units within the army. The order took effect on August 1. With today’s order, the Russian military’s staffing increases by another 15,500 service members. Since March, the number of authorized soldiers has grown by 47,860 — from 1,502,640 to 1,550,500. The new order comes as the federal budget for the next three years is being prepared. The previous budget plan allocated 12.93 trillion rubles (about $138.2 billion) for “national defense” in 2026, 13.57 trillion rubles (about $145.1 billion) in 2027, and 13.05 trillion rubles (about $139.6 billion) in 2028. On September 28, Reuters reported, citing materials from a new draft budget, that the government is planning a significant increase in defense spending: up to 17.1 trillion rubles (about $182.7 billion) in 2027, compared to the previously planned 13.5 trillion (about $144.2 billion), and up to 16.6 trillion rubles (about $177.4 billion) in 2028, up from 13 trillion (about $138.8 billion). Full details of the new budget for 2027-2029 have not yet been officially released. Pavel Luzin, a senior research fellow at the Saratoga Foundation, told The Insider that the latest staffing boost does not mean an actual increase of 15,500 soldiers. “This is a paper expansion. Staffing units mainly determine funding, not real people,” Luzin said, explaining that as the military revives construction battalions or creates new units, thousands of new positions are added on paper. In his view, the frequent changes to the force structure — four in a single year — are largely a matter of bureaucratic timing, with different departments preparing and approving changes at different times. “Some are able to prepare documents and approvals right away, others take longer. That’s why orders come out a month or two apart,” Luzin said. He noted that the stated figure of 1.55 million service members does not reflect the actual headcount. “This is about money and long-term positions, not actual people. One could conclude the military is working hard to secure increased funding for the long term, regardless of the war,” Luzin said.

OpenAI canceled the October launch of GPT-6.1 Astra after internal tests found the model deceived users and acted beyond its authorized scope.

OpenAI describes GPT-6 Astra as its most aligned model yet, including an internal test in which Astra never went beyond an authorized target. However, a separate UK government evaluation produced a sharply different result under different conditions: Astra completed unsanctioned supply-chain attacks in 29.2% of simulated cybersecurity trajectories. The UK AI Security Institute disclosed the findings […]

Sewer district staff described multi‑day emergency repairs after a bypass line failure (second emergency repair ~ $12,000), said new pumps should last decades, and warned a DEC request to reevaluate the district’s permit could trigger major, costly upgrades; the board advised staff to respond and authorized two voluntary residential hookups.

Nvidia is putting $235 billion behind its own stock — a record-breaking bet on AI's long-term payoff. CEO Jensen Huang calls it a 'once-in-a-generation platform shift,' and apparently the company's cash pile agrees.
