@davoloid it is said that nearly half of what Tajikistan's gdp is worth comes from remittances. Really hard for families to make a living without... millions of families. BTW we are looking into this in the upcoming episode of #TheGlobalJigsaw

@actuallyautistic @neurodivergence My fellow neurodivergent folks, tell me the ableist requirements you've seen in job descriptions. Let's give folks some insight into the stuff that contributes to systemic ableism in the workplace. I know there are way more examples than the few I've already listed.

What do you wish AI, machine learning, or LLMs could do? What's missing from the current picture? What do existing systems get wrong, or fail to do at all? I'm trying to put together a wish list, for a startup oriented towards explainability, responsibility, and a focus on centering human society and human values.

New feature for Google on phones? Directions now comes with a cutesy 3D animation following the track, but adds lighting conditions, twinkly street lights, stars and weather effects. Same journey tomorrow has raindrops over the screen.

Me, an idiot: “So, kids, by setting the thermostat a little lower and eating less meat, we’re doing our part to make the world more sustainable”

VCs, very smart: “We just raised $100 billion dollars from the sovereign wealth funds of three petrostates to build the world’s largest AI supercomputer. It uses as much power and water as Guatemala and the primary use case is for management consultants to autogenerate powerpoints for justifying mass layoffs.”

Trump has ON MORE DAY....

FRIDAY

That's the very last day he can ask for bankruptcy. It's the last business day of the week until Monday when seizure of all his properties begins.

Trump doesnt have a week.
Trump has ONE DAY.

Trump has less than a week to arrange a $454 million bond. There are 331.9 million US citizens. If each American spends only $1.37, then we can all buy a cheap chocolate bar to enjoy while we watch the State of New York seize Trump's properties.

Not letting up, #Nvidia told the audience of #developers and tech executives it was releasing an even more powerful processor and accompanying software, on a platform called #Blackwell -- named after #DavidBlackwell, the first Black academic inducted into the #NationalAcademyOfScience.

#BlackwellGPUs were #AI "superchips" four times as fast as the previous generation when training #AIModels, Nvidia said.

Trailer for "The Book of Clarence". Very much under the radar but looks a hoot. LaKeith Stanfield leads a stellar cast in this comedy set in Jerusalem , around AD33

Imagine you have a dam. Fish want to get through the floodgates, but the gates are locked. You want to open the gates when a fish wants to pass through.

If you are a tech bro, you might say “we can use AI to solve this problem”

If you are the municipality of Utrecht, you instead say “what if we put a livestream of the canal on the internet and instructed viewers to push a button when they see one”

Putin and 'democracy'

Allowing elections where there is no prospect of defeat is far more effective for a dictator than suppressing elections.

It is basically saying: "look, elections will not help you".

DHH is truly unhinged these days. I'll never be able to wrap my head around people who see diversity efforts as somehow worse than the naked authoritarianism creeping into every nook and cranny of government and capitalism in the 2020s. Sure, people can go overboard in accusing others of racial insensitivity or mansplaining or whatnot. But LOOK AROUND YOU, MAN. If you really think DEI is the thing that's wrong with the world in the year of our lord 2024, you're madly out of touch.

What's that you say, a 4 hour documentary series on one of the greatest satires of 80's American culture? All wrapped up in one of the most quotable action ever? Sticking my data spike straight in for Robodoc: Making of youtu.be/lyBL9eINHO8
