Wow, I feel sorrry for the lower level employees at Windsurf.  The company didn't exactly reap the riches that startups typically do. It's becoming clear that low-hanging fruit has been picked. You gotta be smart and have something to add to technology to win the pay. Just being a low-level employee doesn't mean you'll get super rich. 
"Windsurf and others are really bad examples of founders leaving their teams behind and not even sharing the proceeds with their team," wrote storied investor Vinod Khosla on X. "I definitely would not work with their founders next time."
Here's more on this debacle: Looks like the engineers who went to Google are getting screwed, too. There were no winners here. It's not that easy to create wealth out of thin air in the AI age. It's not the dotcom world.

Supposedly, Washington state is in their worst budget crisis.  Kinda like Oregon, except they have a lot of billionaires and millionaires – way more than Oregon. They have much of the money they really need, don't worry. They just don't want to change what they spend it on.
Like Oregon is supposedly short of money, but they allocated $15 million for non-citizens. How does it feel to have to pay more tax and have services cut?

Are we in an AI bubble? Someone else wondered about this, too. I've wondered about that myself. AI benchmark achievements have been remarkable, but really, would we be surprised if we developed a search algorithm that was able to retrieve things more efficiently than the old TfIdf or PageRank type algorithms. AI chatbots do seem to do much more, but ultimately that is how they're trained. We're slowly giving them more reasoning capacity to handle more complex problems, but they can't truly replace humans doing complex tasks just yet. Fact retrieval is one thing, but I am skeptical about decision-making. Plus, to approximate or surpass human thinking, we need datacenters that would need to be huge, but also have energy demands we couldn't possible meet for long.

Anthropic also posted results that suggest that too much thinking makes LLMs dumb. So they can overthink things, just like humans, I guess.

Proton has developed a privacy-focused chatbot called Lumo. This chatbot uses open source LLMs, so everything can stay enclosed within their system. It can provide RAG if you turn on the Web Search tool. It was last trained in October 2023, however, so from then on, everything is web search.  And it will probably still be subject to hallucinations, like all models.

Yes! Yes! Are Hospital Acquisitions of Physician Practices Anticompetitive? This was one of the worst things that came out of Obamacare.

Will AI take people's jobs away? Here's one guy's take on this.  He thinks that there will just be changes made, new jobs and some reshuffling. One of the points that he uses to bolster his argument is this graph.

Notice something? The author says that the drop in jobs occurred before AI became a thing, around 2012, so it's not just AI. But who was president during that time? What was set in motion during that time that might have led to a loss of jobs? It wasn't AI, but I think the presence of AI now will make this worse.

Mitochondrial function may be the key to why we sleep. 

Here we report that transcripts upregulated after sleep deprivation, in sleep-control neurons projecting to the dorsal fan-shaped body (dFBNs) but not ubiquitously in the brain, encode almost exclusively proteins with roles in mitochondrial respiration and ATP synthesis. These gene expression changes are accompanied by mitochondrial fragmentation, enhanced mitophagy and an increase in the number of contacts between mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum, creating conduits for the replenishment of peroxidized lipids. The morphological changes are reversible after recovery sleep and blunted by the installation of an electron overflow in the respiratory chain. 

Sleep, like ageing, may be an inescapable consequence of aerobic metabolism.
So it's all in the mitochondria, then. The paper still doesn't explain the why. Why does this need to happen? Why can't we replenish peroxidized lipids all the time, instead of just while we sleep?

Most old folks, like this ronin, have a scar on their arm, and we were told it was a smallpox vaccine scar. But wait.
Many foreign-born persons have received the bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine for TB disease. This vaccine is administered at birth in many countries outside of the U.S. to prevent childhood tuberculous meningitis and miliary disease. BCG leaves a scar like the smallpox vaccine. But it doesn’t protect against smallpox.
So if you have a positive TB test, it might be from the BCG you got, not from actual tuberculosis.

A lot of people are upset about the loss of NPR, but it's important to remember what kind of a station it had become. I got tired of hearing the left-wing propaganda, too, and hated that it was supported by tax money. I remember the Jay Leno joke about listening to the radio to get caught up with what was going on regarding the war in Iran. In the morning he'd listen to Fox News and heard how we were winning, and then going home he'd listen to NPR and heard how we were losing. We don't need paid propaganda. NPR used to be fun, with Car Talk, Thistle and Shamrock, and Prairie Home Companion. Then it slowly became politicized and all the fun shows were just ways to poke jabs at conservative thought, while ignoring liberal idiocy. Not sad to see this go down finally.

The new results show that some gut bacteria, in certain states, produce imidazole propionate, a simple molecule with six carbon atoms, eight hydrogen atoms, two nitrogen atoms, and two oxygen atoms (C₆H₈N₂O₂). This compound enters the blood, interacts with immature white blood cells, and triggers an inflammatory reaction in the arteries, which promotes the buildup of fatty plaques.

Can your brain run out of memory?  Of course it can – it's not an infinite resource. Sherlock Holmes had an interesting theory of memory:
Now the skillful workman is very careful indeed as to what he takes into his brain-attic. He will have nothing but the tools which may help him in doing his work, but of these he has a large assortment, and all in the most perfect order. It is a mistake to think that that little room has elastic walls and can distend to any extent. Depend upon it there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones. 
The brain is much like a datacenter, storing weights in GPU memory, instead documents or files in cloud storage like we do with other applications. The goal is to have as much capacity as possible, and be able to retrieve this knowledge easily. It is one thing to have a memory stored, and another to retrieve it. When you can't remember something and are given the answer, sometimes you recognize the answer as indeed correct, but at other times you might say to yourself that you completely forgot that fact. Retrieval is also key, and it's a mystery as to how the process is initiated and takes place.
