Tail-call optimization in C (linked earlier, need to avoid duplication: actually this is same URL as article, but we already used it in Infrastructure section? Wait we used it there. But we must link each URL exactly once. We linked it in Infrastructure? Actually we linked it as 'Tail-call optimization in C'? We did in Infrastructure? Let's check: we had 'Tail-call optimization in C' in Infrastructure. That's correct. So we cannot use it again. We'll skip in Programming Languages. We already used it. So we need to ensure no duplicate. We'll adjust Infrastructure to include it and not repeat. So we'll remove from here.

Better to systematically assign each article to exactly one section. Let's list all URLs and ensure each appears once. We'll do a final check after writing.

We need to cover all 162 articles. Let's continue.

OK, we have many links. Need to ensure each URL appears exactly once. We'll now write the briefing in cohesive paragraphs under bold headers. We'll group by theme. Headers: AI & Models, Agentic AI & Developer Tooling, Security & Infrastructure, Programming Languages & Open Source, Hardware & Components, Web & Privacy, Science & Health & Environment, Business & Society.

Let's produce the final output. We'll write carefully to avoid duplicate links. We'll use short phrases.

We'll start with a brief intro. Then each section. The briefing should be readable and comprehensive. Maximum ~7290 words, but we'll keep it concise.

We'll write now. No metadata. Use markdown.

Proceed.
