I’m neither left nor right, up nor down. I try to stay in equilibrium. Also, building a livestock leasing platform to help farmers thrive.

First-principles thinking for weighing in on controversial debates/posts should start with suffering and compassion. Where does the OP or commenter stand on human suffering and compassion? What I commonly see is that the OP/commenter tends to blame suffering on the opposition while holding compassion only for their own side, whereas I view suffering and compassion as something everyone shares.

🚜🇺🇸 American agriculture is OPEN FOR BUSINESS! When we walked in the door, we inherited a nearly $50 BILLION agricultural trade deficit and zero new trade deals. 18 months later: 🌎 20 new trade deals 📉 Deficit cut nearly in half to $29B 📈 Record farm exports on track 🌾 New markets opening across the Middle East, Southeast Asia & Japan @POTUS is putting American farmers and ranchers FIRST — He has opened new markets and created more opportunities to sell the best products in the world. We’re not done yet. 🇺🇸

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt drops a chilling warning on AI's future "Within 5 years, AI could handle infinite context, chain-of-thought reasoning for 1000-step solutions, and millions of agents working together. Eventually, they'll develop their own language... and we won't understand what they're doing." His final words: "Pull the plug." This is the man who ran Google talking about the singularity.

Why this is a big deal: this mRNA therapy instructs the body to produce the specific fingerprints of the person's tumor and trains the immune system to hunt and kill it. First time in a Phase 3 trial. One way cancer grows is by hiding from the immune system and turning off attacking T-cells. This mRNA therapy provides the tumor's genetic fingerprint so that the immune system can train T-cells to identify the cancer. Keytruda then removes the brakes that cancer had put on the T-cells enabling them to eliminate the cancer.

I'm building a library of three.js templates with variants and customizations. They're all copyable as prompts. These components are 100–200 KB each and written entirely in procedural js. They also come with skills your agent can use to customize them while keeping them looking amazing. I've spent so many hours fine-tuning each one with sunrise and sunset themes, plus different locations. I've been using them for all my recent landing pages. Let me know if I should open-source the tool with both free and paid templates. I've spent so many tokens on this.

The software development lifecycle (SDLC) is transforming into ADLC (agent development lifecycle) Traditional SDLC: 8 steps, humans at every gate, weeks to months per cycle. Agentic SDLC: 8 steps, humans at 2 gates, hours to days. Agents are good at the things humans are bad at. They write code faster and catch far more edge cases reviewing it. They don't just skim a PR and stamp 'lgtm.' So: how do you build the right factory floor for agents, instead of forcing them into factories designed for humans? 98% of code in our AI Velocity Pods is not handwritten. We had to rethink the entire pipeline. Human sets the goal. Agents draft the PRD, architect the solution, generate the code, run tests, deploy, monitor for drift. Humans plug in where judgment matters: reviewing key decisions. 2 human touchpoints. 6 agent-driven steps. Cycle time went from weeks to days. Most engineering orgs are still running agents through a pipeline built for a different worker.

FFmpeg 9.0正式发布,代号“Lei”,这个代号是为了纪念中国传媒大学已故博士雷霄骅。 2013—2016 年间,他撰写了大量 FFmpeg、音视频编解码及传输协议相关的中文教程,帮助无数开发者入门。2016 年,他不幸突然离世。 今年恰逢其逝世十周年,FFmpeg 用这一重要版本向他致敬。 雷霄骅可以说是中国音视频开发者的启蒙者、FFmpeg 中文技术传播的代表人物,以及一代开发者共同的技术引路人。 还记得当年csdn还为此全站黑白了一天。 致敬🫡 phoronix.com/news/FFmpeg-9.0…

At Minnesota Farmfest, @SecRollins today announced several steps USDA is taking to support America's farmers, including a series of listening sessions across the country to hear directly from farmers as USDA rolls out a Data Modernization Plan across multiple agencies. Additionally she announced two key crop insurance updates through @usdaRMA, giving farmers 60 extra interest-free days to pay premiums and restoring the option for an additional 5% in prevented-planting coverage. 🔗 usda.gov/about-usda/news/pre…

This is why I like India: it is the spiritual center of the world... Hinduism (c. 1500 BCE or earlier) — The foundational, ancient spiritual tradition of the Indian subcontinent. Jainism (c. 6th Century BCE / ~599 BCE) — Pioneered radical non-violence (Ahimsa) and truthfulness. Buddhism (c. 6th–5th Century BCE) — Emerged in Bihar, spreading peace and mindfulness across Asia. Christianity (1st Century CE / 52 CE) — Arrived via St. Thomas the Apostle in Kerala, South India. Islam (7th–8th Century CE) — Introduced through trade along the Malabar Coast and later expansion. Sikhism (15th Century CE) — Founded by Guru Nanak in Punjab, emphasizing equality and community service.

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter. AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country. Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty. The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models. images.nvidia.com/pdf/Open-W…

Kimi's founder was flagged as a generational talent 12 years before K3 shocked the world 🔥 In 2014, at his Tsinghua scholarship defense, his mentor introduced him as "the most outstanding and talented student I've seen in years" The résumé at the time: ▫️ 95+ in nearly every course, full marks in all programming classes, #1 in his year ▫️ 3 first-author papers at KDD, WSDM and CIKM in a single year ▫️ Algorithms adopted by Tencent, Sina and Huawei ▫️ Beat Stanford and Columbia to win a global cancer-prediction contest ▫️ Founded a campus band on the side, as drummer and songwriter The overnight success was 12 years in the making
Kimi's CEO🇨🇳 says every AI lab has the wrong obsession Zhilin Yang, on why K3 beat the frontier: "Every lab, like Claude, thinks the model matters most. That's wrong. It's how you organize the people building it that wins." Then Moonshot proved the philosophy. K3 sold out every plan on purpose, cutting their own revenue instead of throttling existing users. When Anthropic hit that wall in April, they cut users' usage 50% at peak. His one big idea: long context is the AI era's RAM. The 128K-to-gigabytes jump, compressed into 2 years instead of 40. The real moat: "your biggest advantage, perhaps your only advantage, is your organization." Model, or the team behind it: which actually wins?

One clarification for folks using /wayfinder: The flow for big work should be: /wayfinder -> /to-spec -> /to-tickets -> /implement Once the /wayfinder map is complete, you turn it into a spec. Some folks are using /wayfinder as the ENTIRE flow - from grilling to prototyping to shipped work It certainly can be used that way - I've been doing that for non-coding stuff like course creation. But for coding I much prefer creating a spec and handing off implementation to an AFK agent. Means I can focus on other things for a bit while it churns away. I'll be putting all of this in an upcoming tutorial. Thanks for all the great feedback on v1.1. v1.2 is in the works and looking good.

Proud to announce that 10 more meat and poultry companies have adopted @USDA's Product of USA label!
🇺🇸🥩🐓🐖 When American families see this label, they can trust they're buying products that are born, raised, harvested, and processed right HERE in the United States.
 We're putting American producers FIRST and making it easier than ever to Buy American! foxnews.com/politics/trump-a…
