Fair warning: I won’t tolerate injustice, genocide, warmongering! At times, I might be toxic.

I like the SLMs on the edge. Always ready and swifty 😅

Am I wrong in sensing a paradigm shift in AI? Feels like we’re moving from a world obsessed with generalist LLM APIs to one where more and more companies are training, optimizing, and running their own models built on open source (especially smaller, specialized ones) Some validating signs just in the past few weeks: - @karpathy released nanochat to train models in just a few lines of code - @thinkymachines launched a fine-tuning product - rising popularity of @vllm_project, @sgl_project, @PrimeIntellect, Loras, trl,... - 1M new repos on HF in the past 90 days (including the first open-source LLMs from @OpenAI) And now, @nvidia just announced DGX Spark, powerful enough for everyone to fine-tune their own models at home. Would you agree, or am I just seeing the future I want to exist? Also, why is this happening (just the advent of RL/post-training?)

Cool 😎

We should build the Purple Party now. Both leading parties are evil and just hand puppets for fashozies!

People are waking up! 👏👏👏

Cheney has gone! World is a little better place now! Satanyahu should hurry up to join his friend in the deepest corners of hell.

What’s the great equalizer of the past, now and the future?

Growing up in Germany, the Netherlands, and the American Midwest, I was extremely pro-Jewish and extremely pro-Israel. I believed every bit of the narrative we were fed. I even had a Palestinian guy in my class, and whenever he talked about his situation, I’d get angry. I called him an anti-Semite more than once. Looking back, I feel ashamed of how deeply I had internalized that mindset. I genuinely thought Judaism was the best religion in the world. I even considered converting at one point to support these “poor, prosecuted people”. That’s how far gone I was. And all of that happened without me even knowing any Jews in real life. I had met maybe one or two in my life until a few years ago. That started to change during my PhD. We had a research partnership with a Hebrew university. The academics we worked with were hardcore Zionists. They talked about Palestinians like animals. Justified the killings. Brushed off the land theft. That’s when the mask began to fall. I started digging. I learned about the Balfour Declaration, how American Zionists played a role in destabilizing my own country of birth. I learned about the Nakba. How settlers destroyed water wells and entire orchards. How people who had lived there for centuries were treated like subhumans. I saw the ugly truth no one ever talks about. Even up to October 7th, I still thought: there are good Jews and bad Jews, just like in any group. But since then, what I’ve witnessed is beyond shocking. Almost every Jewish voice I’ve come across, online, in media, in real life, has been defending genocide. Demonizing anyone who dares speak up for Palestinians. Calling people Nazis, animals, anti-Semites, just for standing on the side of humanity. That kind of moral blackmail used to work on me. Being called an anti-Semite as a German? That was the worst thing you could say. But not anymore. Not after seeing who’s really fueling the hate. Not after hearing the things that are being said… things that sound like they came straight from hell. What changed me was not hate, it was clarity. I realized Zionism is not about survival but dominance, and it has nothing in common with Christian values, either. And honestly, what still puzzles me, what I genuinely don’t understand, is why they behave the way they do. They say they want peace. They say they’ve been hated throughout history, kicked out of country after country, persecuted without reason. But then you look at how they act,right now. They smear anyone who dares to criticize Israel. They slander. They don’t try to make allies, they issue threats. They demand people be canceled. They justify war crimes. They talk about exterminating others. If they really want to be liked, if they want to live in peace, if they want people to stop criticizing them, then why do they act like this? Why don’t they try kindness, truth, humility? Why not show some decency, some humanity, especially now that the entire world is watching? It makes no sense, unless domination is the goal. Not peace. Not coexistence. Because when I listen to people like Mark Levin or Ben Shapiro or that Randy Fine dude, what I hear isn’t just propaganda, but pure venom. It’s a kind of moral filth that feels like it crawled out of hell. The arrogance. The dehumanization. The glee in war and death. You can’t act like this and expect the world like you. You can’t demand sympathy while trying to silence those who demand the truth. You can’t play eternal victim while behaving like a tyrant. Eventually, people wake up. Just like I did. I used to believe everything they told me. Now I see it clearly. Thank you! 🙏🏼

Anybody else wants to get rid of daylight savings time? 🤔 Maybe it was OK for the industrial era, but in 21st century, people’s work patterns are totally changed, it is no longer enabling/promoting energy savings anymore. Frankly, it is very annoying now!

As California voters, we said NO to this measure but still stupidity continues!!!

I should have posted here:

Go has "net/http", Python has "requests", Java has "java.net.http.HttpClient", JS/TS has "fetch", etc. etc. I can go on, but C++ makes it so hard even after modernization of the language in the recent years!!! Unbelievable!

Why don't C++ standard libraries have fetch, json, ssl, crypto, etc. out of the box available? I have to jump the ropes to get to the part that I need! For example, to use the httplib (open source, header only library for HTTP/HTTPS server and client): Add this at the top, #define CPPHTTPLIB_OPENSSL_SUPPORT then link the ssl and crypto libraries: g++ http-demo.cpp -o http-demo -std=c++17 -lssl -lcrypto That's so ridiculus, no? #cpp #programming

Unilever / Magnum stopped Ben & Jerry’s from creating a flavor for Palestine — so I’m doing it myself. I’ve got a watermelon, an empty pint, and I need your help: Name the flavor or suggest ingredients Or design the pint packaging Tag @yobencohen, @MagnumGlobal use #JusticeforPalestine to submit Use your voice when Ben & Jerry’s can’t — to secure peace, justice, and dignity in Palestine #FreeBenandJerrys

Python has really clever abstractions, operator overloading via dunder methods!
