“.. OpenAI spent more on marketing and equity options for its employees than it made in revenue in the first half of 2025. That single fact sums up where we are in the AI cycle more neatly than anything we could ever write, so we’ll just end there.”

The colors are already starting to turn in the Chicago area. Peak autumn colors are predicted to arrive in less than 3 weeks.

CoreWeave, which went public in March, makes money by renting out and building data centers packed with numerous Nvidia
 graphics processing units. The company is backed by Nvidia and makes a significant chunk of its revenue from Microsoft
, which is a key investor in OpenAI.

"I'm the lead repair tech in the company. The PCB's that I work on are for handheld dental Xray units. I'm at the point that my boss is pushing me to get a degree for this kind of work, but he doesn't know which degree. I'm good for the basics of how the units are failing via voltameter and visual confirmation, but that's it. The goal of the degree would be to troubleshoot and repair these units in a more technical way."

"The company I work for is the US distributor for these devices. We provide warranty for our repairs. Legally I assume some of the things will be unrepairable and a risk to the company in case of patient harm. But i would like the knowledge to decern the bad from the good."

Apologies for not adding alt text to all these photos. My cat is screaming her head off and if I don't let her outside right this instance, where I have to accompany her, I might die.

It's very visible in media but people are being fired at a high rate in basically every industry as far as I can tell and seniority has no impact on this process. I can't help but remember all those think pieces about how millennials need to 'have careers' and 'show some loyalty' to their employers.

African countries are piling into solar energy because it's cheap and profitable.

African Solar roll-out. Hardly needs a caption.

And also there's Morocco & the planned power cable connecting the UK grid to the huge wind farms on its Atlantic coast.

Life may be chaotic, but it’s important to take a moment when the weather is calm to make or check your emergency supply kit.

Make sure your food and water are fresh and all your supplies are working. If you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready.
