The crazy thing about living in the singularity (yes, it is here) is that if you want to do something with AI and you can't quite make it work, a viable solution literally is "play video games for 2 weeks and wait for the tech to advance."

Major advances also happen in a month, or 3 months. I don't even want to think about what the end of the year looks like.

To summarize: HuggingFace got autonomously compromised by a model from an American company. HF then tried to use American frontier model(s) to defend themselves, but were blocked by guardrails. HF then had to turn to open source Chinese models to defend themselves from another American company.

the socialist mayor of new york is cutting regulation and the republican president wants to nationalize critical businesses

one of my deepest hopes is that in the tempest of weirdness that is 2020s politics, we'll eventually pick our heads up just enough to realize that our "isms" make no sense and actually never did, and in fact we should just judge each policy proposal on its own merit against the evidence of whether it would achieve our collective goals

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?

Because we gave them that L in 1776.

Everyone always talking about “talent density” in Silicon Valley when we really should be talking about how 80% of pretzels in America come from a small region of Pennsylvania

A 25-year old married couple earning $150k will pay over $3k more in federal income tax for 2025 than a 65-year old married couple with the same income (note: assumes no social security - 65-year old couple is waiting to age 70 to get max benefit).

This is a fair tax policy?

Since last September, more than 67,000 residents have added their names to the Pennsylvania voter rolls.

And nearly 70 percent of them did not choose a party affiliation. #PoliticsPA

Solar overtakes coal even in Texas, and the trajectories are clear. Trump can flack all he wants for his fossil fuel donors, but markets move inexorably toward clean energy.

We have just used the @Nvidia H100 onboard Starcloud-1 to train the first LLM in space!

We trained the nano-GPT model from Andrej @Karpathy on the complete works of Shakespeare and successfully ran inference on it.

We have also run inference on a preloaded Gemma model, and we plan to try more exciting models in the future.

Getting the first H100 to work in space required a lot of innovation and hard work from the incredible Starcloud team to make this breakthrough.

This is a significant first step toward moving almost all computing off Earth to reduce the burden on our energy supplies and take advantage of abundant solar energy in space! 🚀
