Always do this prior to going through a security checkpoint or interacting with law enforcement
Security tip for iPhone users: holding the side button and one of the volume buttons for two seconds will lock your phone and disables Face ID until you enter your password. Useful for situations where someone may try to unlock your phone without your consent.

DeepSeek, a LLM trained for a fraction of the cost of GPT-Xx models, in 2 months for 6 million, on limited GPUs due to export restrictions, and competing head to head. This is crazy.

What if I told you one of my favorite films was about a font in Photoshop. But it isn't. It's about the silent thankless choices that make your world. Things of unimaginable specialization, discarded without appreciation.

This is a friendly PSA that all content on Bluesky is PUBLICLY visible on the internet.
While intellectually this app is a safe space, it is NOT a private community and you should only post here with the understanding that anyone on earth can see your content.

Literally any position no matter how obviously morally and ethically right they'll pre-emptively compromise on
These are people who go into every negotiation doing the calculus of what they think they could reasonably get and then ask for even less [ and / inevitably get less still ]

There is a pervasive mind virus that has deeply infected venture capital.
Many of the voices people formerly took as reasonable are signaling or outright declaring support for eugenics.
This includes many famous people like Balaji Srinivasan, David Sacks, Paul Graham, and other lesser known VCs.

In 2000, Elon Musk became the CEO of PayPal and tried to rename it X.com even though surveys showed the public hated the name but trusted PayPal.
Now he’s repeating the same mistake with Twitter, but this time no one can oust him as CEO.
