for all the speed boost AI gives while building products.. I do hate the ever so increased release rate for non-patch|feature updates
with so much download and update runs.. the gadgets stay busy
Every few weeks, karma-farming statements from industry experts appear on how "AI would be able to kill us" and how "it's growing out of hand"...
Well the warlord-esque human looking intelligence is already much faster on that hand. These bafoons are not even unpluggable.
weird times..
Legally purchased digital content being rescinded.
Billionaires defending theft of IP.
the only sanity is system still sides with funding
after fixing a long-term nvidia driver issue on my linux box.. the display just got jittery;
panicked by same issue last year and forgot the remedy, so hoping this public post will up the solutions into my ai results
Enable persistent mode on GPU: `nvidia-smi -pm ENABLED`

All foundation models are in fact models of knowledge, mainly based on open knowledge already developed by mainkind. Obviously knowledge (models) of mankind should be open sourced! (Again, please do not confuse knowledge with intelligence.)
oh... let the services keep removing "products" people have paid for without any re-course and turn everything from paint to printer into a subscription..
so from privacy to ownership , everything becomes an alien concept for the new minds..
just so people can buy islands
Whatsapp's new Reserve Username page says.. by doing so you allow Meta to correlate your accounts across Meta products with same username.. and use the data.
Were they not already doing that? Or was it not entirely above the board yet?

We've created the world's fastest PDF parser ⚡️
And it's more accurate than any other open-source, model-free PDF parser out there (pymupdf, pypdf, markitdown, pdftotext, opendataloader, pymupdf4llm)
Introducing LiteParse v2 - we rewrote the entire library into Rust and adapted it as native packages for Python and Node.
It supports 50+ different document types, can be triggered directly or installable directly within your favorite AI agent.

LiteParse v2.0 is out now, and it is blazing fast + runs everywhere!
We rewrote everything from scratch in Rust, and now:
- up to 100x faster parsing
- install natively in Rust, JS/TS, and Python
- a custom WASM package enables browser and edge runtime usage
pip install liteparse
npm i ＠llamaindex/liteparse
npm i ＠llamaindex/liteparse-wasm
cargo install liteparse

Creators giving a summary to AI, to generate content.
Consumers asking AI to parse the content, to get the gist.
So much churn, to pass the TL;DR.

DuckDB just released Quack: a client/server protocol over HTTP.
Any DuckDB can serve (quack_serve()), any DuckDB can attach to it.
DuckDB-Wasm included since it's plain HTTP on port 9494.
Some fun stuff :
- A browser tab talking directly to a DuckDB server somewhere on the internet
- Local-first apps with a remote target that speaks the exact same dialect
- Notebook-to-notebook query forwarding
Curious what people will build with this.
We've got a few ideas brewing at MotherDuck too :)
And while we're at it, can we finally retire the "DuckDB has no multi-writer support" take? There are plenty of options out there now, just depends how you want to slice and dice.

Introducing Project Glasswing: an urgent initiative to help secure the world’s most critical software.
It’s powered by our newest frontier model, Claude Mythos Preview, which can find software vulnerabilities better than all but the most skilled humans.
