Flipkart is India's biggest online store. It belongs to @Walmart, which makes Walmart the largest counterfeit seller in India and probably in the world.
All these pages selling my book on Flipkart sell shitty-quality print for a 93% discount.
Walmart knows that such a discount is impossible unless shit is sold, but they don't do anything, because money doesn't smell, huh @walmart? Money doesn't smell, you greedy fucks?

Excited to share that Float has raised $70M in our Series B round, led by the Growth Equity Fund of Goldman Sachs!
This investment is about fueling the growth of the Canadian economy and we are just getting started!

It’s not 💯% effective but very good — as I type this on the way to do a talk at @UWaterloo

The new Show Vehicle Motion Cues feature in iOS 18 might be the new best feature Apple has ever made. Puts dots on the screen that let you use your phone with less motion sickness because they move with the car you’re in as it turns and accelerates/brakes

Update: A couple of us Google Brain / DeepMind researchers have left to work on something new.
Some observations:
* Off-the shelf AI libraries (e.g. RAG and agents) do not work well enough for high-quality products.
* In-house research is essential to get the higher quality/reliability that transforms a cool, but flaky demo into an indispensable tool.
* Recent competitive trends and a paradigm shift in scaling compute is drying up the moat around traditional foundation model companies.
* There are hints of AI disruption in some fields, but it is still early innings and is inevitable for most knowledge work.
Finally, a cracked team can get a lot more done with far fewer people these days.

In a truly surreal moment in my life, the New York Times has published an illustrated article about me: nytimes.com/2022/01/18/din…

@sunil_extreme @edmundas4 @eddytravels @invest_LT @LTstartups @adomasb @pranask @techstars @CollisionHQ @paddycosgrave @CanadaLithuania Amazing city :)

#Vilnius is a tech city to watch. Solid technical talent, hard working, cost efficient. Add the cool co-working spaces, amazing coffee spots, pubs and non-stop architecture. And the airport is 10 mins away and direct flights are <$100 to so many cities. I just booked one out. 🇨🇦

@Wealthsimple @IntuitTurbo @Intuit Thanks! Turns out that there is a known bug that still hasn't been fixed. Support told me about it on 1:22 min of the call. No resolution still

same issue for me, I don't understand how others even saw the form
aburmist@aburmist
@CitImmCanada Hello, the form has never appeared for me. I was refreshing the window from before the 12 EST. And then after 12:10 the "The form is closed for now." message appeared. Could you provide details please on why nothing appeared? It seems suspicious
English

@CitImmCanada I hope there will be an official explanation on what happened today. This is unacceptable.
