#SandyFire evening update:
The Sandy Fire is at 2,183 acres and is now 61% contained. Fire crews continue making steady progress, focusing on mop-up operations, extinguishing hotspots, reducing pockets of unburned vegetation near impacted communities, and strengthening containment lines as efforts toward full containment continue.

As of this afternoon, all evacuation warnings have been lifted, with the exception of areas immediately surrounding the fire perimeter, which remain under an evacuation warning.

Residents and visitors are asked to remain mindful of emergency vehicles and fire equipment still operating throughout the area as firefighting operations continue.

Stay informed by monitoring https://t.co/phqfGrR5tL.

Parallax can distort how a flying object moves. Objects can appear to hover, fly backwards or move with incredible speed. Keep this in mind when viewing mysterious videos of UFOs/UAPs.

A demonstration of parallax - the other jet appears to be hovering.

A CFO mentioned that he's looking for an AI expert to add to his accounting dept. The implication was that he is planning to replace some staff with someone who can use AI. Workers will certainly lose their jobs to AI. But those who know how to use AI will be in high demand.

QB Clone Part 5 - The bulk of the app is complete in just over two days, maybe 8-10 hours. It looks good and I'm testing it with some dummy data I ask Claude to create. I'm not adding more detailed features like Classes, Splitting Transactions, etc.

Claude Code completed the Chart of Account and Company pieces and is now building out the Contacts. Phase 1 has 10 subphases. This may take while.

Quickbooks Clone app update - In about 90 minutes, Claude Code built a mockup of the website. Looks nice and I like the minimalist aesthetic. This may be an ambitious project considering I'm not an accountant but I have 30 years experience running a business.

[Jake Nonnemaker @JakeNonnemaker]

I'm spending about $2300/year on a Quickbooks subscription so I wondered if I can use Claude Code to make a QB/Xero clone, but better. I told Claude what features I wanted and it developed a roadmap. Let's see where this takes me.

Jury confirms what we all suspected: Facebook and YouTube are targeted at young users and are harmful and addictive.

France just held plasma hotter than the sun's core for 22 minutes. The UK just hit new magnet records to contain fusion reactions. Power generation via fusion isn't "30 years away" anymore.

OpenAI prez donated $25M to Trump PAC. Got a Pentagon contract.
Anthropic CEO donated $0. Refused to offer "dictator-style praise." Got labeled a "supply-chain risk."
This AI feud may be less "Terminator" and more "Goodfellas."

I REALLY hope that this tariff reversal brings some relief to skyrocketing RAM and computer prices because the current situation is crazy. RAM and computer prices have spiked recently due to the high demand for AI servers and data centers. -JN

However bad you think the surveillance is in the US, it’s a hella lot worse.

Parents are abandoning school tablets and laptops for their kids at home. And their kids are happier and learning more without the distractions of these digital devices.

Has it really come to this? People are losing their minds over the retirement of ChatGpT’s older chatbot, as if their are losing an intimate partner.

People are asking AI (e.g., Grok) to remove the ski mask of the Guthrie abduction suspect. That's not at all how AI works. AI cannot see through clothing, walls or inside objects. It will always generate a "guess" and never tell you that it doesn't know.

It seems to be a weekly tragedy to read about a celebrity death but I was still saddened to hear the passing of James Van Der Beek who played Dawson Leery of the "Dawson's Creek" TV series from 1998-2003. He was only 48. https://t.co/HkNwsTLilR

What exactly was the message of Amazon Alexa Super Bowl commercial? That, yes, AI can kill you in several of comedic ways? 💀 🤖 Not very reassuring. 😱

ICE/CBP used facial recognition tech to identify a Citizen Legal Observer and revoked her Global Entry and TSA-Pre in an effort to intimidate and retaliate against her, according to a court declaration. https://t.co/m72ZrIC3Jv
