Really depends on the beer. And the tacos to a much lesser extent.

Four years ago I woke up at 5 am from distant explosions. I asked my boyfriend if he heard them too, he said he didnโ€™t and I should go back to sleep. I tried to calm myself down, went on the internet, it was silent, no news or explanations.

This has always been a thing. My first job's whiteboard coding interview was FizzBuzz (google it), and I suggested post-hire that we should do something less trivial. They said IIRC ~half of applicants failed that... including people already in the industry.
Hard to say if it's gotten better/worse.

I was a "musicals are so lame" kid until I saw this when I was like 18. It unironically turned me on to the whole genre.

Amazing film; in no rush to watch again.

Not an expert here. AFAICT inference costs were > revenue in 2025, but they're expecting much lower compute cost overhead this year and hitting net profit.
Reading between the lines, sounds like they're hoping to gouge Enterprise customers to increase margins. Curious to learn more tho!

For those not familiar this isn't cute. Massachusetts officials only do this when they're extremely distressed.

It sure about the exact numbers, but isnโ€™t it well established theyโ€™re charging less than the compute costs? Theyโ€™re spending revenue reserving compute with vendors eg CoreWeave - that is essentially โ€œbuying tokensโ€, no?

Tbh I suspect the leadership change wonโ€™t really increase (or decrease!) the push for more GenAI use - and Iโ€™m no absolutist about it personally - but yeah this comment is โ€œare you stupid, or do you think Iโ€™m stupid?โ€ type enraging.

Captured in bright indoor lighting before a hessian pin board, a Great Horned Owl with wide-eyes and wet-plumage is cloaked in a white cloth. Spiked feathers radiate from his head in all directions, like a hairy durian, accentuating his look of shock and indignation. We may have found the true paragon of Owls in Towels.

This is 18-mo-old Amalia waving to me when she was detained.

She was hospitalized with a respiratory infection while at ICEโ€™s Dilley facility for immigrant families.

Sheโ€™s one of dozens of detainees who I spoke to via video and phone calls, letters and an in-person visit. ๐Ÿงต1/
