We’ve been going through this too with our 18-year-old boys though they are in later stages. Getting fluids and low-phosphate/low-magnesium foods in them has been crucial. Much love to you and Valentino!

Just saw the old Bugs Bunny toon "Sahara Hare" where he finds a "mirage-ee". I was surprised how the clip kinda illustrates diffusion model genAI. I think we found the perfect GIF for the paper @annamillsoer.bsky.social and I wrote on AI's so-call "hallucination": papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Happy 4th anniversary of that special day when the Ever Given ran aground in the Suez Canal, blocking shipping for six days. Is Ever Given the ever-giving meme? Here's one I made back in the day. What's your favorite Ever Given meme? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Su...
