Deciding that for the new year I’ll start a reading list (books, but also other things) First book of the year :

And people hate my deflation idea

It remains deeply funny to me that the most uniting figure in Canada in generations is a middle-aged central banker who can crack a joke.

"Rockstar should have printed and distributed a two-disc standard edition of GTA 6 in this economy with these shipping costs with an MSRP of $60" Statements dreamed up by those with no experience in supply chain management

Making it so some replies show up with the ‘pinned’ tag in my feed has been the best decision I made for it It makes it so only the reply is shown and not the parent and root. Allowing replies that stand on their own to not take more space than they need to on screen.

i don’t know why this is the example people keep pointing at (there are others you could use instead like uber) accenture is not saying “you cannot spend more than 29 dollars a month on ai” (preposterous to believe this) but rather that the token spend must be paid for by a project or team

this is correct

What's hilarious about the Mbappé affair in Chinese media is it's universally condemned, featured in 3 out of Weibo's top 11 trending topics, but nowhere can you find out what he said. all that's allowed to say is "inappropriate comments", "hurt Chinese feelings".

Had to reinstall Ubuntu :/ It got corrupted too badly, but at least I got a backup. Things will probably be back up and running this evening at worse tmr, but I’m glad it’s not my memory dying or whatever

PSPP 1) n'a pas participé à une réunion « historique » entre des Premières Nations et des premiers ministres hier 2) boudera le Sommet Canada-Union européenne qui a lieu à Montréal cette semaine 3) ira voir Macron en France, président unanimement honni à qui il reste moins de 6 mois Pourtant... 1/2

It holds my custom search engine MCP, my outline, my RSS app, my Bluesky MCP and a custom feed.

Nothing better than one of my servers dying at midnight 😕 Hopefully it’s nothing and I can fix it tmr. At least I have a backup from today. But gosh I hate this.

Much of the money involved in housing construction goes into litigation, which is the economic equivalent of lighting millions of dollars on fire. What this means it is economically unfeasible to build housing despite all material and labor inputs being less than its market value.

we are literally seeing anthropic baking sabotage into the model operation if you are doing the 'wrong' kind of engineering Right Now

the idea a lot hold that chinese models would have backdoors and american models by contrast are clean and pure is so funny

We get similar emails at Bellingcat, usually from peolle who have been scammed and have asked ChatGPT for help.

Because there’s so much demand that supply literally cannot catch up. Your infra is used at near 100% all of the time. Bringing prices down doesn’t help you here.

NEW: The iPhone Duo screen-cracking issue is real. Apple hasn’t given stores or customer service representatives guidance but the company is investigating it. Several have personally sent me their images and stories of their new $2000 device breaking within hours. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

It's wrong in a more basic way: if you're encountering "so many" Americans who have a strong interest in the Brazilian election, it's a reminder your personal social media feed is a highly unrepresentative niche of people with at least a 95th percentile level of interest in politics generally.

🏎️ I've never seen MoE models for embedding & search this small: 1.5M, 27M & 115M parameters! VAGO Solutions' MoEdernColBERT models take on much larger dense retrievers, with 115M near or ahead of Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B in their overview at 8× the encoding throughput. Details 🧵

one of zitron's lines about ARR was that it doesn't tell you anything because they could be churning all their revenue

Deepseek is as well so its inclined to believe that part. Selling tokens really is just printing money right now.

A reminder that when Lula defeated Bolsonaro Sr in 2022, Biden and Austin had to threaten the generals to head off a coup on his behalf. Happily Lula is actually in the government now, but it's a dangerous time.

sorry, but it's very hard to take your warnings of existential risk seriously when you are simultaneously throwing up to $120 billion at Elon Musk

Anthropic cumulative operating loss since inception is only $12 billion and at their current run rate operating margin they will completely recoup that loss by Q1 27 even if revenue is flat. So much for “these companies will never make money” lmao
