BOLO for a hit and run driver in an Audi SUV with NY tag LEM-8132. Incident occurred at the corner of Stewart and University in Ithaca NY at 10:30pm on 10/23.

This is the story of technology... the best pirates become the navy, then run the risk of ambush by the next wave of pirates. #deeplearning #generativeAI #LLMs #deepseek #AI #artificialintelligence

For the former, this bit of news has not altered the value of the company's full solution stack and even breath further life into its prior generation, likely fully capitalized, products. For the latter, driving down the costs of training will increase the demand for inference.

When a college friend won time on the Cray X-MP at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, his first thought was to see if he could extract acceptable performance from an arcade game written in interpreted code on what was then the world's fastest computer. ft.com/content/e670a4…

Maybe AI orthodoxy has had us working with primates… #DeepSeek #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #LLMs #generativeAI

We conduct initial life sciences research on yeast or drososophila, simple analogs of higher life forms, because their short life spans mean that experimental cycle times are short, and frankly they are expendable. Just imagine if we started all experimentation with monkeys.

Here’s a thought… The Chinese capital markets are less developed, efficient than in the US. My first response to many quant algorithms from there that I come across is, “there’s no way they would work here.” venturebeat.com/ai/deepseek-r1…

Unless we can keep more of these graduates “near shore" and encourage more domestic candidates, we run the risk of seeing more disruption of the #DeepSeek variety.

With all the talk of reshoring, I’d like to offer up another category - engineering graduate-degree holders. Over 70% of current grad students in fields like electrical/computer engineering, computer science are international.

Wow, this hasn't not aged well… Good time to recall that the tech moguls’ treasures were built, not on armies of H1Bs, but by leveraging the true American Exceptionalism of the three-legged stool of academia, industry and government, two wobbly right now. wsj.com/opinion/americ…

In the time since we started watching Arrested Development, the saga has meandered from Fox to Netflix. Now twenty-one, achieving adulthood, it's ready to settle down for good, apparently in its the parent's bedroom. wsj.com/economy/what-h… via @WSJ

@FT reports on a recent @nberpubs report indicating that, in a world seemingly rife with financial engineers, there's still opportunity for the OG accounting engineer. #banks #financialengineering ft.com/content/2c9eb4…
