but the bitcoin can be hacked at any time

If you're curious about coding-assisted platforms (but tired of the hype and unfulfilled promises), have a look at this video about Augment Code. Maybe, just maybe, this is for you :) #aifordevs #aicoding youtu.be/LEOSWYlQyVw?...

How many % of the currently experienced value of large language models come from the fact that they ingest in a way that a traditional search engines would have been sued and blocked to oblivion if they did? And how expensive would they be if they paid fairly for the privilege?

If you're into D3 or Observable, there is no doubt you ran into Fil at some point. I learned a ton from him, and this interview only adds to that

I'm super duper proud to officially announce the FFF partnership with @augmentcode.com, the developer AI that I've been using as my primary for the last few months. Go give it a whirl using fff.dev/augment and let me know what you think!

good monday morning #dataviz bluesky, I just dropped a new Fun Fun Function video: youtu.be/aAP3m0PyGrY

 'Line Plots are Plot Lines' 
 (a data visualization spoken word 
cover of funfun.email issue #12)

New article by me! It's a common mistake to think the TFR is a prediction of the average number of children women will have over their lifetimes. But it's not. The TFR can decline even when the eventual number of children per woman stays constant or even increases; the opposite can happen too. 🧵

This wonderful man, @rshean.bsky.social, has written what Shakespeare would have, had he been working with Excel at scale* *= “scale”

This was sort of foreshadowing youtu.be/ohDB5gbtaEQ?...

Sleep well

Can you please explain #PowerBI to me? Wrong answers only.

Very exhaustive test of Claude interpreting graph, fun to read!

I like how well highlighted this was:

So it is trained on your uncle on Facebook?

I mean yes

Just because you can, you should

This was much news to me. Lots of interesting aspects with this article, but the detail that concept cells fire only after a 300 ms delay, for some reason, stuck out for me.

It's that time of the year again. #SuperBowl 📊

Saturday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the *lowest* on record (JAXA data) • about 790,000 km² below the 2010s mean • about 1,450,000 km² below the 2000s mean • about 2,040,000 km² below the 1990s mean • about 2,430,000 km² below the 1980s mean Plots: zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-i...

Generally not posting political stuff but I found this opinion piece by @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social to be an interesting and calming take, and elucidating on what is going on in the media space. www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8QL...

Really looking forward to listening to this new investigative pod series by @suelinwong.bsky.social. I was made aware of this fascinating (and unnerving) phenomena through @pjvogt.bsky.social on the episode pjvogt.substack.com/p/whos-behin... and this seems like a much bigger deep dive.

This was incredibly interesting, look at the video first and inspect your own response before reading further into the article, that makes the article a lot more interesting. www.effaff.com/the-data-sto...

Astonishing article in today’s FT on the private parking industry. Of course, private equity is involved.

On Nvidia, this chart from Deutsche Bank shows the earnings expectations baked into the company's stock price. I see it as completely unrealistic and a recipe for disaster tbh. Anyone who doesn't understand that AI is a mania needs to look at charts like this

Bitcoin price tracker but only using headlines about the landfill hard drive

American company Napster complains that their content is being made available in another competitive product without their consent www.ft.com/content/a0df...

I love the look of ZSAs new keyboard, these split keyboards traditionally look kinda dumb.

😂

It should tell us all something about GDP, capitalism and stocks that the release of a quality open source model that is also very energy efficient and available broadly on the cheap without messing up water supply tanks the stock market. I.e. less exploitation = less profit for these investors

so Deepseek is now like #1 on app stores, so much for chip export restrictions - did the US mistakenly create a kind of Dune-Fremen/Expanse-Belters kind of situation where china grew hard and creative from limitations and Americans grew fat and lazy and weak with abundant V100's lying around

This is so cool, I don’t understand much of it but it still blows my mind www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Hey it sees like @danabra.mov and the peeps built a TikTok inside @bsky.app and now there is a beta for @skylight.social and I want in

I am so happy but also so sad about how all these dumb wonderfully phones never reached us: explore the vast archive of nokia's forgotten design concepts which never came to life. I miss silly Nokia. www.designboom.com/technology/n...
