LIVERPOOL LEGEND. 👏
Anfield rises to its feet for a proper farewell to Mo Salah's nine seasons with the club.

Mohamed Salah’s nine-year love affair with Liverpool is at an end.

One of the Premier League’s all-time greats says goodbye to Anfield this afternoon - and does so having established himself as one of the club’s favourite adopted sons, courtesy of an astonishing goalscoring record and glittering trophy haul.

@JamesPearceLFC speaks to those who know him best about what made him so special, on and off the field.

Farewell to Mohamed Salah.
A faintly ridiculous 193 goals and 93 assists in the Premier League. 286 goal involvements in 327 appearances — a record surpassed only by Alan Shearer (324) and Wayne Rooney (311), both of whom made at least 100 more appearances.
The only player to have been named PFA Player of the Year three times.
One of English football’s greatest imports and Africa’s greatest exports. A phenomenon #LFC

Great insights from @benthompson on how inference will evolve chip demand, especially agentic inference.

--
"If latency isn’t the top priority, then slower and cheaper memory — like traditional DRAM, for example — makes a lot more sense. And if the entire system is mostly waiting on memory, then chips don’t need to be as fast as the cutting edge either. This represents a profound shift in future architectures, but it also doesn’t mean that current architectures are going away:

> Training will continue to matter, and Nvidia’s current architecture, including high-speed compute, large amounts of high-bandwidth memory, and high-speed networking, will likely continue to dominate.

> Answer inference will be a meaningful market, albeit a relatively small one, and speed from chips like Cerebras or Groq will be very useful.

> Agentic inference will gradually unbundle the GPU, which alternates between stranding high-bandwidth memory (during the prefill process) and stranding compute (during the decode process), in favor of increasingly sophisticated memory hierarchies dominated by high capacity and relatively lower cost memory types, with “good enough” compute; indeed, if anything it will be the speed of CPUs for things like tool use that will matter more than the speed of GPUs.

At the same time, these categories won’t be equal in size or importance. Specifically, agentic inference will be the largest market by far, because that is the market that won’t be limited by humans or time. Today’s agents are fancy answer inference; in the future true agentic inference will be work done by computers according to dictates given by other computers, and the market size scales not with humans but with compute."

@buccocapital I fell back with my old flame, 4.6 extended. The good vibes alone are worth it.

[Reid Wiseman @astro_reid]

Only one chance in this lifetime…

Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.

I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

Well done to Blue Origin on successfully reusing a New Glenn booster for the first time, key to ramping up launch rate.

Washington DC is on pace for roughly 42 murders this year -- the lowest since at least 1930. Two years ago it had 274. Carjackings are also down (by 44%).

What changed:

1) New U.S. Attorney replaced a soft-on-crime predecessor and immediately started actually prosecuting, including seeking the death penalty for the worst offenders.

2) There's more visible law enforcement presence now. Federal law enforcement and the National Guard deployed to cover a 50-year low in local police staffing -- a hole created by city council budget cuts that some estimate will take a decade to fully close.

3) Ended policy of refusing to charge juveniles as an adult, signaling to the youth that there will be consequences for their crimes. The prior admin prosecuted exactly one juvenile for armed carjacking over a decade, so gangs recruited juveniles to steal cars. Arrest-to-offense ratio for carjacking went from 25% to 58% last year.
