I have two kids. My youngest is a person who everyone has met. Yes, I am trying to work on this shit with him but people would say he is one of those people who is confidently incorrect.

My youngest will just bullshit through any topic and a lot of the time he thinks he is correct.

I personally think just stating shit as fact when you have no idea is a common issue with NNs.

Drives me crazy because both my kids have heard me say, “I don’t know, we will have to go look it up” more than I have an answer. Because I don’t do it. But fuck if my youngest won’t just make shit up instead of saying he doesn’t know.

LLMs are asked a question so they are gonna give you an answer just like many humans whether they have a clue about what they are talking about or not

We just integrated the kids into our existing lives.

Right now they are doing that because they are still trying to catch up to Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI.

The moment they have the special sauce, they will shut it down and you won't be able to run their stuff anymore outside of them. Why do I say that? We already have the evidence in the diffusion model arena. All the chinese labs were pumping out open weights models for image and video, the moment they got to SOTA, they stopped doing it. Less and less is being released.

Chinese companies aren't doing open weights models out of the goodness of their hearts, they are doing it because it help their entire industry catch up. Don't get it twisted, this is very much a US vs China battle here. China wants to win and I am not sure how they won't. Deepseek is the first major large model trained on Huawei chips. It won't be the last and I am betting that China will make up for lesser performance of those chips with more manufacturing and power generation.

I am very bullish on China winning the AI war here. But I also am not naive enough to think that the Chinese companies is doing open weights out of wanting to make the world a better place or the goodness of their hearts. It undercuts the american AI companies.

I have been wanting to subscribe but based on how awful the experience is for most people, I just can’t pull the trigger

My wife has an autoimmune disease. Most all the evidence points towards gut biome but that shit is super complicated. We have very little research into what our gut biome needs to be.

We were buying a sailboat(we actually did it). Wife got diagnosed with cancer. We talked with doctors about treatment, felt confident with catching it so early.

Purchased the sailboat, we live on the sailboat with our two kids, two dogs, and two cats, 6+ months out of the year.

What you can't plan for is shit that happens on land. We came back in June 2025, my wife was stopped at a red light and got rear ended by a dump truck. That has put a pause on our sailing life. But we should be getting back out there soon.

Additionally for me, I have a scan that shows what my body currently has. I had something show up that I did get a scope to check out that was a pancreatic rest. No big deal. Now, if I ever have another MRI and somethings is somewhere else, we have a baseline to compare against. Everything is a risk calculation. When I did my MRI, I also had other procedures done like a heart calcium score.

I will get a little more personal. We didn't do it out of the blue. My wife and I decided we want to live on a sailboat. That was a big purchase for us and boats take a long time to sell. We didn't want to commit to such a purchase then 1 year later find out either of us had cancer then we have the stress of cancer and the stress of trying to sell a boat.

I would never suggest everyone do it, but I am happy we did.

It found a weird spot on me that turned out to a pancreatic rest.

The only reason we did the scans were because we were making a significant life decision that we didn’t want to have to backtrack if either got diagnosed with cancer within a year . We knew nothing was guaranteed but we wanted to do some tests.

Hate to break it to you but from targeting enterprises, java maven artifacts would be a MASSIVE target. It is just harder to compromise because NPM is such shit.

They also require routine testing distaster recovery plans.

I participated in so many different programs over the years with those tests.

Tests that would roll over to facilities across the country
