As my daughter (12) is now almost as tall as I am, I realized that I really miss carrying my children in a sling, or on my shoulders. It was such a short time.

From the article: «The technology giant sent the project’s developer, a unit of Blue Owl Capital Inc., a notice citing force majeure, according to people familiar with the situation. Rather than trying to walk away as the site’s main tenant, Oracle is attempting to put off payments should the data center dubbed Project Jupiter get derailed and fail to come online in 2028 as planned, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing private matters.»

In other words: we built a house of cards three meters tall and when it could not withstand a hurricane we called that force majeure.

Riding bikes is - by itself - an extremely safe activity.

It's the cars that are dangerous.

Since when refusing to use a tool made you an extremist?

I wonder how HR and legal departments will take "every conversation is recorded and transcribed".

Creepy times ahead, but also fun times.

The sharks are smelling blood. Interesting that they're going after Anthropic first. My guess is that they know there's still some money to be extracted before the bubble bursts.

A short story about data retention on modern SSDs and a word of warning about leaving them unpowered.

I recently helped a friend move his data to a new machine - and because of kerfuffle by his IT department - his new laptop arrived with a small SSD, so we had to leave some data behind until a larger one was available. I volunteered to move his Windows installation and old data on the new SSD as soon as it arrived, but life got in the way and 6 months went by before he showed up. 🧵 1/4

The reality of global warming is going to change all our economic assumptions. It is ridiculous for the tech sector to believe it will be able to make even more money than it does now in a world where every single essential resource - from food, to energy, to water - is going to cost a lot more. From this article on wheat production:

> “The system we currently have in place depends on three things: seamless trade, cheap energy, stable climate,” said Evan Fraser, a professor who studies the global food system at the University of Guelph in Ontario. “Today, it seems none of these assumptions are met.”

I've seen this pointed out in an internal discussion and it's absolutely fascinating: it seems that the output of Anthropic's LLMs is becoming increasingly verbose and convoluted the larger the model gets. This has gotten to the point that it's becoming grating to users.

We've seen a huge amount of ways in which LLMs can fail, but "the computer sounds like a obnoxious toxic co-worker" is a brand new one.

FYI if you put an AI-generated image in my feed I'll mute you right away. No ifs no buts.

I had heard about the CloudFlare job cuts, what I had not realized is that after announcing them the company lost over 23% of its value in one sitting. I guess the trick of announcing job cuts to pump up your stock doesn't work anymore.
