The text and images are AI (as you will probably notice), but the plot, the characters, the twists and the turns are mine.

What’s the best tool for “regular” business users to use AI for analytics. Claude Code does really solid analysis but it’s not really right for totally non-technical users. So what is?

Zipf’s law drives anyone who thinks too much about it into gibbering madness

The US is now building more data centers than office buildings for the first time

Spending on data centers hit a record high of nearly $47B/yr in data released today, up 31% over the last year, as office construction keeps falling

Also, I'm aware this graph looks like Kentucky

Kyle Fish on the most bizarre findings from 5 AI welfare experiments | 80,000 Hours

Bluesky’s logo, a trusted verifier’s scalloped checkmark, and a standard verified blue check mark.

We’re introducing a new layer of verification on Bluesky — a user-friendly, easily recognizable blue check.

In addition to account verification issued by Bluesky, we're also introducing Trusted Verifiers. Select independent organizations can verify accounts directly.

Huge opportunity for someone.

Spacy is also a Python library. Added some negative keywords to remove the post mentioned. Thanks for bringing this up!

Done. Thanks for pointing this out.

So much talk about AI coding tools, vibe coding, AI agents

So many complaints of these tools “breaking down” above some complexity / context length

So little - basically no - talk about software architecture that makes for code devs can easily maintain/evolve. Or AI tools!

US storage up 33% in 2024 Residential installations hit another record in the year’s fourth quarter.

Energy storage is booming in the US. Bigly.

We 💙 links!

Starting this week, we've made it even easier for newsrooms and more to track how much traffic Bluesky is sending to their sites.

For those setting up analytics, Bluesky's referrer is go.bsky.app.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Excluded “via the Python sdk” last time. Now excluding “from Python sdk”. Let me know if you came across still more.

Excluding them starting now. Thanks for bringing this up. If you see anything else that doesn’t belong, please let me know.

Tranquil Tabs - Chrome Web Store Quickly close all tabs except the leftmost one and those on allowed domains. Also, allow the current tab’s domain with one click.
