Mandatory @xkcd.com. May not be enough money, but same vibes.
A comic from xkcd. First panel a genie tells the character "You have awakened me from the lamp, you may have three wishes. What does your hear desire". The character answers "I'd like a human sized hamster ball". On the four next panel the character plays inside the ball saying "Sweet!". On the last panel, the genie asks "And your other wishes ?" to what the character answers "Why would I need other wishes?"

Mandatory @tomgauld.bsky.social on this
A comics in four panel by Tom Gauld, in sepia/monochronous tones. There are two people talking in each: First panel shows a castle on top of a mountain with two speech bubbles: - Husband: "Now that you are my bride you'll never leave this castle - Wife: Wow! Your library is amazing! Second panel shows a large male character with a cane and a smaller women character facing a library - Husband: Beyond this castle is a high wall with not gate, and beyond that is a deep dark forest with no path - Wife: I suppose it's my library too now. We're married. Third panel shows the same character, with the women having selected a pile of books - Husband: The forest is crawling with ravenous wolves, malignant birds and the spirit of long dead travallers - Wife: So many books ! I can't believe my luck! Fourth panel shows the husband flying out with bat like wings while the wife sit with a book - Husband: When the sun sets I transform into a wild beast and soar into the night, seized by a terrible bloodlust! - Wife: OK. I'll stay here and read. See you in the morning.

Always thinking of this quote "The problem with the tech industry is that we see ourselves as the Rebel Alliance, but we've become the Empire".

Looks like Palentir is just more at ease with that than others.
This is chilling.
A Palentir ads that they'll run near colleages with as text "A moment of reckoning has arrived for the West. Our culture has fallen into shallow consumerism while abandoning national purpose. Too few in Silicon Valley have asked what ought to be built - and why. We did. We built Palentir to ensure America's future, not to tinker at the margins. On the factory floor, in the operating room, across the battlefield - we field to dominate. Join us.

Sam Altman swearing fealty to Donald Trump + a plan of 500B of investment in AI for "strategic capability to protect the national security of America and its allies" (openai.com/index/announ...) is scary as hell - not only for the US ennemies - but mainly for its own citizens.
Twitter screenshot of Sam Altman saying "watching Potus more carefully recently has really changed my perspective on him (I wish I had done more of my own thinking and definitively fell in the NPC trap). I'm not going to agree with him on everything, but I think he will be incredible for the country in many ways!"

J'allais mettre un commentaire mais je pense que ce serais redondant.

C'était supposé être de l'humour - c'en était à l'époque je suppose
Un Calvin et Hobbes (en anglais): Calvin: "I'm thinking of starting my own talk radio show. I'll spout simplistic opinions for hours on end, ridicule anyone who disagrees with me and generally foster divisieness, cynicism and a lower level of public dialog." Hobbes: "It would seem you were born for the job". Calvin: "Imagine getting paid to act like a six-year old!"

From the Financial Times, about Bitcoin - www.ft.com/content/8533...
FInancial Times Alphaville article excerpt: "FTAV posts between June 2011 and today may have communicated the idea that bitcoin is a negative-sum game being played on a protocol that's very clever and hypothetically useful as a unit of account, but is chronically inefficient as a conventional means of exchange and is compromised as a store of value. Our posts may also have promoted the idea that the price of a bitcoin is an arbitrary hype gauge that's disconnected from any utility the token may have, because it's trivial to duplicate the utility provided by said token, so any intrinsic worth comes from the sunk costs of infrastructure alongside intangibles like regulatory acquiescence, interconnectedness with mainstream financial systems it was once sold as being the antidote to, and the souvenir attraction of "being the first" We stand by every single one of those posts. Nevertheless, with bitcoin's price recently crossing $100,000, a significant number of commenters seem to feel they deserve an apology in light of our longstanding cynicism, so here it is: We're sorry if at any moment in the past 14 years you chose based on our coverage not to buy a thing whose number has gone up. It's nice when your number goes up. And we're sorry if you misunderstood our crypto cynicism to be a declaration of support for tradfi, because we hate that too.

Starting to learn Flutter (so far, pretty nice) and I wanted some Dart code katas (small exercises to build your "muscle memory" in a language).

Not exactly what I was looking for, but pretty nice
