Was secretly replacing the fine dining coffee with Folger's crystals a testament to their quality or an indictment of people's complete lack of situational awareness?

Somehow Qwen3 30B is 30% faster than Gemma 3 27B. Both Bartowski GGUF static quants. Gemma 3 at q5_k_l, Qwen3 at Q6_k_l. What the heck? How did they pull that off? Its reasoning is really good too.

Sitting in the airport and literally half the people in the terminal are using their phones at full volume on speaker. Calls. Video games. Videos. Music. Is the economy so bad that no one owns earbuds or headphones any more?

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that Alabama cannot prosecute people for helping others travel across state lines to access abortion care. This is a win for our freedom of speech and our right to travel freely.

PSA: if you see a great software/SaaS April fools joke and you want it to be real, fire up some AI coding tools and make it so. Don’t let a good idea go to waste.

For April Fool’s Day this year, I resurrected an idea that the Opera browser company made over a decade ago, but has since vanished from the internet: a choose your own corporate 💩 press release. www.trustinsights.ai/interactive-... Have fun making it progressively more and more unhelpful!

Headed for #smmw25 first thing. I always take the first flight out - less turbulence (because cooler air has fewer turbulent currents) and fewer delays and cancellations since cascades of errors haven’t piled up yet. Does it mean getting up punishingly early? Yes. Is it worth it? Also yes.

Perhaps the day AI matches human intelligence approaches faster than ever not just because AI is getting smarter, but because we are also getting dumber.

The unstated goal of the broligarchy for AGI is to eliminate virtually all knowledge workers, dramatically increasing net profitability in the short term so they can cash out and run.

Whatever the hourly rate is, multiply by 2000 and that's more or less the annual salary. Useful mental shortcut when evaluating job ads.

My weekly groceries for a family of four. Normally between 160-180. This week, without much difference in what I buy week to week: 220. Tariffs in effect. Are we great again yet?

OpenAI likely to announce GPT-4.5 today. Expect everything to break! (they're notorious for completely underestimating demand, so ChatGPT is highly likely to be utterly useless for the next couple of days because OpenAI never learns its lesson.)

The worst possible use case of #GenerativeAI. The audio is almost certainly Suno - it has Suno's distinct auto-tune-esque vocals. The video generation? I'm guessing Kling - it doesn't look like the movements you get out of Sora.

Worth noting that cybertrucks are not bullet resistant to the most common firearm in America: the AR15. A YouTuber decided to test it out and the 5.56 round goes right through it easily. youtu.be/VLV-4HMrAz0

PSA: if you have retirement savings, talk to your financial advisor about how to navigate the current environment to reduce your risk and exposure. What's happening in the USA will take years to fix at best, and if retirement is sooner than that, you want to reduce your risk.
