My senator told me Iranian missiles keep draining the Gulf’s interceptor stockpiles so I asked how many interceptors we have left and he said we just order more from Raytheon afterwards so I said it sounds like we’re just trading $4m interceptors for $100k missiles and then Taiwan started crying.

So I guess Chinese AI labs having access to high end NVIDIA hardware was always an open secret? If you’re an NVIDIA compute wholesaler do you have onerous reporting requirements or is this convenient arbitrage?

Who are you favorite interchangeable movie stars? Tobey Maguire : Jake Gyllenhaal Daniel Radcliffe : Elijah Wood Alden Ehrenreich : Peter Sarsgaard I’m sure there are more…

Does anybody else remember the Polaroid Cube? Has anyone since made a video camera that small? It seems like something GoPro should offer but they don’t.

So Talarico has them scared? Is that what I’m hearing?

This is the way. A DGX Spark in every hackerspace. It would take more than that but you need to start somewhere.

The last two solar eclipses I’ve seen were total eclipses so watching a partial one — even 90% — feels so much less impressive. I think I need to seriously consider traveling for the one next summer (southern Spain, North Africa)

Spent the last week driving a lot in Germany and I have to say: not a big fan of the no limit portions of the Autobahn. When there are only two lanes you often find yourself needing to pass slower traffic but contending with passing lane cars going 40-60kmh faster. Really stressful

Found a much better illustration than the OAI-sourced graphs

I think I just figured out why I hate reading Claude output so much: it’s usually Claude having a conversation with itself and rarely contains any of the user’s voice. Been reading whole documents like this for the past month and it sucks. I want to hear my coworker’s voice instead.

This is going much better than I feared. I hope Hadjar can keep it up.

Maybe gerontocracy wouldn’t be a problem in the US if they were more pragmatic about who has access to air conditioning.

Good to see that ChatGPT isn’t shy about public figures in pictures. Other models can be more skittish. (obviously fake. Xi would never)

LOL. LMAO.

This man’s empire needs to be burned with an intensity that would make William Tecumseh Sherman uneasy.

This is beautiful

Reading the results here give me a bit more hope than I’ve had lately. I think the developers are going to be alright.

you...don't have a psychosexual hydration agent?

I don’t want to kink shame but this is straight up masochism: > Make your answers as long and detailed as you possibly can.

Finally hit the four hour usage limit in Claude Code. Got more done than I expected.

This is long but it’s got some great points. I suppose I’m just a sucker for anything that draws from Brooks’s Mythical Man Month.

Trump inadvertently crushing Bitcoin is a funny outcome.

Hey @cascoinfoundation.org I found some legit 兰州牛肉面 in Cambridge UK

I like “accountability sink” as a concise way to describe this behavior.

After qualifying I thought the race today would be a lot more boring than it turned out. It was still roughly the result I expected but the middle parts were plenty entertaining. The Red Bull second seat is still as cursed as ever.

I think we might be getting somewhere here

The Swiss have an opportunity to do the funniest thing this week.

I think most people wearing this hat look dumb. But today I realized that expression on their face is just smug cozy warmness and they don’t care if anyone is jealous.

Did Jesse Watters model his appearance after Caesar Flickerman [movie version], or was it just a happy accident?

IMO this is also a driver of adoption in many businesses.
