MORE: The combined force conducted nearly 900 strikes on Iranian targets in the first 12 hours of its campaign, according to an unspecified US official speaking to Fox News. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated that it struck 500 Iranian targets. isw.pub/IranUpdate02...

I kinda feel bad for people who thought LLM inference wasn't just another compute commodity like cores.

Openclaw is part of this disruption because it makes using OSS models like GLM-5 and Kimi K.2.5, which are 20% of the cost for 80% of the performance, trivial.

I really thought Apple would be the one to create a local OS level agent, and presumed they'd silo it to an Apple subscription of some kind. That an FOSS solution beat them to it to disrupt everything is a surprise to me. But man am I here for it.

Anthropic and now Google are terrified of OpenClaw because it breaks their silo. They've worked hard, and have been subsidizing costs deeply just to lock you into their single silo.

A local agent like OpenClaw that seamlessly carries context between providers is a nightmare.

Should have named it CalmSkies...

You’re a tech company that spent millions on superad…. Bad look.

Family of Alex Pretti, who was shot dead in Minneapolis today, releases statement:

"The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs."

Eric Trump cheers falling fentanyl deaths? That chart proves Biden's success: 10.6% drop in 2024 from naloxone expansion. Trump's first term? 191% death surge, per CDC.

Stealing credit for policies they gut while hiding their own catastrophic failure—that's the real "Trump effect."

California counties must jump through new hoops to get homelessness funds

Gov. Gavin Newsom has threatened many times to withhold state homelessness funds from cities and counties that aren’t doing enough to get people off the streets.

This year, those threats seem more real than ever. bit.ly/4sIHVIx

Trump: "You’re supposed to listen to law enforcement."
Trump Supporters:

It looks to me like the driver had clearly turned her wheels hard right to go around the agent, not into him. Even morons should see this wasn't threatening behavior, it was fleeing behavior.

@karaswisher.bsky.social @profgalloway.com the insider trading on polymarlet is getting some coverage, but is nothing compared to what happened on the bluntly obvious insider trading on the stock markets Friday. $SLB $CVC and others… Trump boasted he told them ahead of time, where is the SEC

Whatever one thinks of the attack on Venezuela, you have to admire the skill and strategic precision of the military forces that stormed Madura's fortress and so effectively removed the Epstein Files from the headlines.

It's not my fault my socks have holes in them… and I'm not mad either.

HBD!

Apparently Trump thinks Israeli hostages are “heros” but American military POWs are losers and suckers…

A little more than a year after the historic removal of four dams on the Klamath River — a key milestone of @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom’s Salmon Strategy for a Hotter, Drier Future — CADFW scientists are now seeing salmon reoccupying nearly every corner of their historic habitat!

Won't it be hilarious if CA's redistricting goes ahead but TX's doesn't...

I don’t often do “sheet pan meals” but this is a favorite.

Tax Day Is Met With Tea Parties (Published 2009)

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement.

Check out how tiny the crowds were:

Philly: 200
DC: "several hundred"
Boston: 500
Austin: 1,000
Houston: 2,000

You're looking at it backward... we just need to speed up humans so they can get out of the way faster.
