Acqui-hiring is toxic:

(1) Fewer people will want to join a startup if their hard work only makes the co-founders rich.

Text-to-text diffusion models with thinking capacity are the future. Transformer models are old news.

Swagger/OpenAPI has been there for 15 years. I don't understand the hype around MCP. I guess in the tech world people like new things with bells and whistles? Give LLM a break. "LANGUAGE" is its middle name. It understands YAML & JSON, mkay?

The older I get, the more challenging it is to be an agnostic atheism. I think I'm an agnostic theist now.

"Thirteen of those cases involved people who live at Westlake Christian Terrace. All of them are Asian women, but police say they are not considering these hate crimes." WTF?!

Humane is reportedly trying to sell itself to HP for $1 billion The AI Pin is allegedly struggling to meet sales targets.

Started like a midlife crisis project, ended like a midlife crisis project…

Because it is not, obviously...

TikTok should be banned in the United States, not because of the "national security" reason which is purely speculation without any evidence, but because of the fact that Facebook, Twitter, Google and many more are banned in China. Banning TikTok in the US is simply a tit-for-tat action. Period.

Why don't FSD users get it? That 0.000001% error rate is high enough to kill you many many times.
