Cheewwwwiieeeee!

Good for you! Work it through / out

a two panel meme panel 1 - geordi signalling 'no' with the text data centres and images of data centres Panel 2 - geordi signalling 'yes' with the text "data centaurs" and a crudely edited image of the character data from star trek pasted on top of a centaur

do you ever wake up at 3am and think "shit that's a good idea, I better write that down so I can share it later on"

Such a good read. Making my way through Aphyr’s “the future is lies, I guess” today - highly recommended also! aphyr.com/posts/411-th...

I've now seen several posts from Democratic US Senators and House Reps calling for Congress to return to DC, and my only reaction to seeing these is: Do it. Just get on a plane and go back to DC. The House is in Recess, not adjourned. There was a pro forma session today. Go. Lead by example.

Man, those things were bomb proof

OKAY, PEOPLE, PLACES!

WE ARE NOW ON A TIMER TO GET EVERY PERSON ON EARTH INTO APE COSTUMES FOR WHEN THEY GET BACK

Holy fuck. I’d not heard that one before 🤯👌

I feel like all the people telling me how smart Gavin Newsom is also told me how smart Elon Musk was ten years ago.

Kémy Adé was shocked by the immigration refusal letter she received. In rejecting her permanent residence application, the Immigration Department cited her current job duties, which included wiring and assembling control circuits, building control and robot panels, programming and troubleshooting. The department said these duties didn’t match the Canadian work experience she claimed. Well, no, they didn’t. Adé is a post-doctoral research fellow and guest teacher at McMaster University — and those skills are not part of her repertoire. Nor are they what she submitted in her immigration application a year ago. “I saw this language about this job description that has nothing to do with me,” said the health scientist from France, who has a PhD from Sorbonne University in the immunology of aging. “I was disoriented how this could happen.” But a disclaimer at the bottom of the refusal letter might provide a hint. It’s believed to be the first time that the department explicitly referred to the use of generative AI to support application processing in immigration refusals. The disclaimer also noted that all generated content was verified by an officer and that generative AI was not used to make or recommend a decision.

Today in AI:

Canada rejected the PR application of a McMaster postdoc from the Sorbonne who works in the immunology of aging because the generative AI being used to process applications (😱) entirely hallucinated her credentials.

Everyone involved should be fired.

I’m not sure you’re wrong on the capacity utilization fairy tale, but it seems like a big assumption that Nvidia’s US sourced revenue is going only to US buildouts, rather than US HQ’d cos buying their global capacity?

such a great piece --->>>

I asked AI to explain my mother to me. It translated her worldview A chatbot won’t fix your family drama, but it might help you hear what someone’s really trying to say

The most consistently accurate frame to understand the appearance of articles like this is knowing that The Guardian and OpenAI have a partnership.

​​​​Cost of Net Zero by 2050 less than a single fossil fuel price shock​ – CCC  - Climate Change Committee The independent, statutory body tested its cost and energy security conclusions against different scenarios. It found that the total additional cost of a single fossil fuel price spike of 2022 magnitu...

The additional cost of ONE fossil fuel price spike on the scale of 2022 = the ENTIRE COST of Net Zero by 2050. We get precisely nothing in return for the first cost, and a whole new, more secure and cheaper energy system from the second one.

Same here.

Atlassian. Near monopoly on software project tools.

Please, let us also hold off all discussion of Christian scripture today as the US also participated in the killing of the Iranian children. Are there any Buddhists, Hindi or Shinto serving in the deployed American forces? We should hold off all discussion of those religious texts as well. 🙄🤡

Peter on Citrini Research Multiple reasons. METR, a study from last summer, showed that at the time developers who were ~20% less productive with AI in the loop were reporting productivity gains of 20%. Even in terms of simpl...

Read the Certrini piece. The premise is a fundamental misunderstanding - Creating software is hard; writing software isn’t. I see no evidence that LLMs provide anything other than an evolutionary improvement in software creation. This comment spells it out: www.citriniresearch.com/p/2028gic/co...

A simple tariff scoreboard: Consumers pay when prices rise; owners pay when margins fall. If you've got a 401(k), then you're paying either way, and the only question is whether you're doing it at the store, or out of your retirement account.

This goes as hard as JD Vance in an IKEA.

Surprise! Iowa class wasn’t jingoistic enough, so the new trump class is actually going to be based on confederate iron sides. Projected cost of $10-15B per ship remains accurate.

Really looking forward to Minns and the Chief of Police explaining the context of this beat down

Well done Chris Moans

Ouch dude, really sorry you’re going through that. I have another debilitating health condition, and the research that’s gone into using psychological/neurological techniques to manage chronic pain has translated really well - somatic tracking and the like. I encourage you to check it out.

“Everyone is a 12 year old boy” applies to Trump more than anyone. He wants to “conquer” lands and resources because that’s what leaders in movies do, in fantasy worlds without diplomacy. After actually talking to EU leadership he realized blowing up all of our alliances might actually be pretty bad
