I was not expecting the value of chipmakers to start tumbling so soon, after all those are among the very few companies that are profiting from the AI bubble. If investors feel the party is already over for them then the great AI Ponzi scheme is very close to unraveling.

I spent some time during the past week hashing out some work with my colleagues to optimize Firefox memory consumption and its behavior in low-memory situations.

Ironically this is all work that I had already initiated years ago but couldn't finish for a number of reasons. One was that I lacked data, but we've gathered enough since then to inform our choices, so that work was not lost, it just needs to be completed.

It has been zero days since I had to verify the output of a large language model and it was wrong.
