A Marker Word Is Only a Marker If Nobody Else Says It
Field Log documents the experiences of using an AI assistant, Claude. Andrew Northern, the user, initially planned to use "gotcha" as a keyword for organizing voice notes. However, due to its commonality, it led to noise. Now, they use the specific phrase "field log entry" with titles for better organization, emphasizing the importance of selecting unique tags.

MAGA doesn't care what is done to other people, only what happens to them. It's the greatest expression so far of "every person for themself" mentality.

I think @gruber.foo is missing the mark a bit in his criticism of Bernie Sanders. Profit as a survival buffer is a fair argument. Extreme profit is a different conversation. (HT FDR, Statement on N.I.R.A. June 16, 1933)

Bernie Sanders: Ideologue and Economic Ignoramus
Sanders’s tweet is better punctuated and capitalized, but it’s the same argument as Trump’s. Zero economic sense, 100 percent ideological wishful thinking.

Nvidia says its AI data center design runs hotter to use a lot less water
By switching to 100 percent liquid cooling and running servers hotter, Nvidia claims it can cut water use to "near zero." Nvidia’s blog post doesn’t mention the cost of building this style of data center vs. one using less efficient air cooling, but claims that “every cloud provider and data center operator building for is making the transition.” With all of the advancements in AI and the ways we are using technology, I am very hopeful that this can be true.

If you lose power due to flooding and own a portable generator, make sure you run it outdoors at least 20ft away from your home. A portable generator can produce enough carbon monoxide to kill in minutes.

It's frustrating & disheartening to see how AI is being used as an excuse to dump people. I'm quite confident that most of those 8,000 workers would be able to contribute in different ways. Profit isn't the purpose of business, it's a reward for building amazing things. Unemployment isn't amazing.

President Trump turned his back on our nation's veterans during his first term, calling them "suckers" and "losers". Now, he thinks they, and all taxpayers, should pay for his Big, Ugly, Ballroom, all while healthcare, housing, and veterans' benefits are pushed further out of reach.

Couldn't agree more, @deluzio.house.gov. VA shouldn't be dismantled, it should be strengthened. Privatization just shifts costs onto veterans and risks access to care. When every dollar counts for groceries, gas, & daily necessities, veterans can't afford more expenses. Veterans deserve better.
