I wonder if all this hyperbole from the big cloud AI vendors is just a giant sales ploy. To distract from people running open source tools locally instead.

So right! I tried to describe LLM’s to a friend as them kind of like a Super Google, but then quickly realized the person I was talking to had no idea how Google worked either.

Excellent! I spent twenty minutes in a frustrating discussion with a non techie friend a couple days ago on why using human terms to describe AI is a problem.

Solar power in Africa is heating up — thanks in part to chili peppers | CBC News
They're the chili peppers in the spicy chicken at a restaurant you might know. And they were an ingredient used by a Canadian company to build the first solar power plants in Malawi.

They oversaw a very important social media influence operation for the Kremlin, got caught, fled. And now they're not just back, they're guests at Donald & Melania Trump's Easter Egg Roll at the White House.

ICE has erected a gate to keep protesters out. They are blocking a public street, despite the Broadview Fire Department ordering ICE to tear it down. Join us at 1930 Beach Street. 7-9 AM. Tell Broadview to tear this fence down.

How indeed. It’s headed for $1 trillion a year, with the increase requested in the BBB if I recall. MeanWhile, the Veterans Administration budget is getting cut by that same bill. It’s beyond frustrating.

We need to start calling it Alligator Auschwitz. Also, Florida is paying for it, and then supposedly will get reimbursed by FEMA. We’ll see if that works or not, based on the weak orange prez’s history of shirking payments.

The Joint Committee on Taxation is up late and busts out this striking distributional analysis of the Senate bill on taxes:
chart shows that under the bill, people making under $30,000 pay more in taxes, and millionaires pay substantially less.
