Today, I was awarded the title of Java Champion!

It’s a huge honor, and I’m grateful for everyone I’ve met in the Java universe, especially those who taught me how to code. I’m feeling happy and a little proud. 😊

If your job is mostly typing code that part of the job will disappear.

If it’s mostly problem solving, decision making, inferring context, leveraging proper tools to accomplish those, then delivering results will be further enriching moving forward.

Skill up, don’t fear down.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

The part of George Orwell’s 1984 that everyone forgets is how the music and publishing industries have been replaced by a machine that spits out songs and bad novels “without any human intervention.” The goal is to keep you from ever having to think.

Ich meine das weder polemisch noch als Gedankenexperiment, sondern völlig im Ernst: Wann startet die EU Programme, WissenschaftlerInnen aus den USA nach Europa zu holen und ihnen Stellen anzubieten, damit sie ohne Angst vor Repression forschen können? Braindrain nach Europa jetzt!

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

The story isn’t that DeepSeek “wiped out trillions in value” because they didn’t.

A bunch of deceitful, power hungry, bootlicking, billionaires did this by lying about what their companies and the AI they’re building were capable of.

Any company whose mission is to “to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity” would be ecstatic about a capable open source model like Deepseek released.

Any company which has a mission of making money off closed-source models would be devastated tho.

Sick of people calling everything in crypto a Ponzi scheme.
Some crypto projects are pump and dump schemes, while others are pyramid schemes.
Others are just standard issue fraud. Others are just middlemen skimming off the top.
Stop glossing over the diversity in the industry.

Speaking of sampling legends: Tim Simenon, aka Bomb The Bass!

These days it's hard to get clearance for even one sample and still make a buck, but 'Beat Dis' featured no less than 72 (!) samples.

Also look up 'music collage' and 'plunderphonics'.

If you have a recent iPhone I really like this free app - it lets you run truly tiny (but surprisingly capable for their size) models directly on your phone, like Meta's Llama 3.2 3B and Microsoft's Phi 3.5 mini apps.apple.com/us/app/mlc-c...
‎MLC Chat
‎MLC Chat lets users chat with open language models locally on ipads and iphones. After a model is downloaded to the app, everything runs locally without server support, and it works without internet ...

Today I finished the solutions for day 14.
It's so much fun finding the solutions for the puzzles.
Thanks so much @was.tl!
