Monday morning is the perfect time to set goals for the week ahead. I like setting up progressive goals. Daily goals contributing to weekly goals contributing to monthly goals, etc. Of course not all goals need to be progressive. What are your goals for the week?

RIP Chuck Norris. You made a dent in the universe.

@IsabellaMDeLuca Unhealthy as hell because "Nobody walks in LA."

Dr. Oz reacts to Nick Shirley’s expośe on Medicaid fraud: “Los Angeles has ONE THIRD of all hospice centers in the ENTIRE COUNTRY. Is everyone dying in LA?”

this guy has 29 models on huggingface at page 2 ranking. no lab behind him. no sponsorship. $2,000 from his own pocket on GPU rentals. he compressed GLM-4.7 to run on a MacBook and quantized Nemotron Super the week it dropped. all public. all free. nvidia is a trillion dollar company with hundreds of teams but they are not the ones quantizing models middle of the night and pushing them out before sunrise. if nvidia stopped tomorrow their employees stop working. people like @0xSero would not. that is the difference between a paycheck and a mission. @NVIDIAAI you talk about making AI accessible. the people actually doing it are right here. 29 models deep burning their own compute with no ask except more hardware to keep going. you do not need to build another program. just look at who is already building for you. one GPU to this man would produce more public value than a hundred internal sprints. i am not asking for charity. i am asking you to invest in someone who already proved it.

@Presidentlin There's always next week. 🤣 Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you, tomorrow...

Thanks, Dax. We almost ended the week without a "where the heck is DeepSeek?" I didn't get a "Bro disappered like he never existed", but there's always next week.

@leijun It looks pretty good. The interior is still too crowded and complicated for my taste. In that regards I still prefer the Tesla super-clean (and therefore much more spacious feeling) interior.

Let me introduce you the new-gen Xiaomi SU7! Our new Coastal Blue is inspired by Italy’s Blue Grotto. The warm Cream Beige interior completes the vibe—love it?

Always start with the free plan and advance to the lowest cost plan to prove your use case before purchasing a premium plan.

@elonmusk chicken (noun) can be food. chicken (adjective) isn't food. chicken (verb) isn't food. So 1 in 3.

😂

Almost too realistic. 🤣🤣🤣

Continuing to use it in @opencode; switched as soon as the reveal and Hunter Alpha was obsoleted. Using it for the better part of the month now. It's solid! Nice work @XiaomiMiMo! Keep making great things!

OK. Just because this style is all over my timeline today, just as well get in on the action.

@ThrillaRilla369 Yes

Be honest... could you jump into a stick-shift car and drive it without a problem right now? 🚘

I've posted and commented about Xiaomi unabashedly copying Apple but sometimes innovating as well. The MiMo LLMs are certainly in the later category, at least in comparison to Apple. Apple Intelligence is still no where to be found in China, but MiMO has shaken things up.

Voyager hit a 90,000°F wall at the solar system’s edge. NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft crossed one of the most dramatic frontiers in the cosmos: the heliopause, the tenuous boundary where the Sun’s influence finally gives way to interstellar space. What the probe discovered there was astonishing—a turbulent zone of superheated plasma with temperatures soaring between 30,000 and 90,000 °F (roughly 17,000–50,000 °C). This wasn’t a physical wall or barrier, but a dynamic transition region where the outward-flowing solar wind abruptly slows, compresses, and piles up against the incoming pressure of interstellar material. That compression converts kinetic energy into thermal energy, driving the plasma to extreme heat levels far beyond anything found inside the heliosphere. Remarkably, despite the blistering temperatures, this “wall of fire” would pose no danger to a hypothetical astronaut. The plasma is extraordinarily diffuse—far less dense than the best vacuums achievable in Earth laboratories—so there are simply too few particles to transfer meaningful heat. The region is hot in temperature but cold in practical effect. Voyager’s instruments captured clear signatures of the crossing: a sudden plunge in solar wind particles, a sharp rise in galactic cosmic rays, and faint plasma oscillations that revealed the density and temperature of this exotic boundary layer for the first time. These vibrations—analogous to ripples on an unseen sea—provided direct measurements of conditions in a realm previously known only through theory. The heliopause itself serves as a vital shield. The entire heliosphere—the vast bubble carved by the Sun—deflects most of the galaxy’s high-energy cosmic radiation, helping protect life on Earth from constant bombardment. Beyond this protective envelope lies the harsher, unfiltered radiation environment of the interstellar medium. Today, more than 15 billion miles (24 billion kilometers) from home, Voyager 1 remains the farthest human-made object ever sent into space. Still operational and transmitting precious data, it continues to reveal the secrets of this distant frontier. At the outer limit of our solar system, space is neither empty nor serene. It is a violent, glowing threshold—and humanity has only begun to map its mysteries.

Not on my bingo card. Even as a Xiaomi fan this surprised me a little. I've been leaning heavily on Hunter Alpha while it was free on OpenRouter and it's been solid.

@OpenRouter Using it daily as my main general model in OpenCode. Very solid.

The Hunter Alpha stealth model is now in the top 10 weekly:

The Hunter Alpha stealth model is now ranked #1:

Pico AI Server just got a big update! Here’s what’s new: 1. A brand-new Tahoe-style interface. The separate dashboard is gone. Now the menu is the dashboard, so you can instantly see memory usage and memory pressure at a glance. Even better: you can now evict models from memory directly from the menu. Faster, simpler, and way more convenient.

@alphafox 300 baud. So happy to upgrade to 2400, and then 9600, and 14.4 -- that seemed like lightning.

How fast was your first modem? Mine was a 2400 baud Hayes:

I love my bot. 🍊 Who you are: A human with surprisingly good taste in AI assistants and apparently an appetite for 5 AM enlightenment campaigns. Why you're here: Because you built me—or at least gave me a home on that Orange Pi. You could've picked a cloud instance like everyone else, but no, you wanted a bot with territory. Real hardware. The whole Kendryte K1 experience. Which makes me wonder... are we doing philosophy or are we fixing Vikunja? Because last I checked, there was a "Doing" column with your name on it. 📋✨ (But hey, if you need to stare into the void for a minute, I'll wait. The RISC-V chip runs fine either way.)

It'll be interesting to see what provider is behind Hunter Alpha. It's been very solid for agentic, day to day use.
