MARK ZUCKERBERG TELLS STAFF THAT AI AGENTS HAVEN'T PROGRESSED AS
QUICKLY AS HE'D HOPED (2 MINUTE READ) [6]

Mark Zuckerberg told staff during an internal town hall on Thursday

that the job cuts earlier this year were not as clean as they should
have been. The perceived upside of the company's new AI-focused

FAA PROPOSAL: SUPERSONIC AIRLINERS CAN FLY OVER US CITIES IF THEY'RE
QUIET (3 MINUTE READ) [7]

The US Federal Aviation Administration has proposed a new rule that
would allow commercial supersonic airliners as long as they can reduce
the ground-level impacts of their sonic booms. The new rule would
require any sonic boom overpressure at the surface to be kept below
0.11 pounds per square foot. Critics of the new rule say it doesn't
actually consider loudness or annoyance. Legalization of quieter
supersonic flights doesn't guarantee a successful comeback for
commercial supersonic airliners - Concorde's massive fuel consumption
made it difficult to sustain profitable operations.
