Investors warn AI FOMO could be fueling a risky bubble in companies like OpenAI and Anthropic
As AI valuations soar into the hundreds of billions, a parallel market of temporary financial shells is proliferating to meet investor FOMO, and many investors are starting to sound the alarm bells that it portends a bubble in the AI gold rush

Last Thursday, the movers ultimately arrived and did an awesome job, emptying the house and garage in 3 hours. The house sale closed with no issues on Friday at 5pm. Today, Monday the 23rd, our house purchase should close mid to late afternoon. Tomorrow, the moving truck arrives to dump our possessions into various rooms. We're almost there...

Acabei de assistir "Gladiador". Não chega a ser um filme ruim, mas esperava bem mais. A melhor característica do filme é a trilha sonora, composta por dois músicos fantšsticos: Hans Zimmer (famoso por suas composições para o cinema) e Lisa Gerrard (da ótima banda alternativa "dead can dance"). Infelizmente este não é daqueles filmes em que a trilha sonora fica presente e faz grande diferença durante todo o tempo, o tema principal só se faz realmente ser notado na cena fin…

Supporting Car-Following Behavior through V2V-Based Beyond-Visual-Range Information Display
Rear-end collisions constituted a large portion of crashes on the road, despite efforts to mitigate rear-end collisions, such as forward collision warnings. The chance of rear-end collisions is closely related to drivers' car-following (CF) behaviors in the traffic flow. Given that drivers may rely on more than the information of the direct lead vehicle (DLV) when making CF decisions, expanding drivers' perceptual range by providing beyond-visual-range (BVR) information based on vehicle-to-vehi…

Discussions during the current #IETF meeting led me to write a new draft on a compact CoAP URI expression, Short Paths In CoAP (ShoPinC, following the trade tradition of contrived acronyms).
As not all of the #CoAP crowd is reading the IETF lists, I'm soliciting opinions or feedback from here as well.…

Mechanistic Insights into Nonthermal Ablation of Copper Nanoparticles under Femtosecond Laser Irradiation
Femtosecond (fs) laser sintering enables ultrafast and spatially localized energy deposition, making it attractive for additive manufacturing of metal nanoparticles. However, undesired ablation during fs irradiation of copper (Cu) nanoparticles often disrupts uniform sintering, and the underlying ablation mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this work, we investigate the fragmentation and coalescence behavior of Cu nanoparticles subjected to fs laser scanning under fluence conditions relevan…

The EU says Apple and Meta will not face sanctions immediately after their 60 day DMA grace period ends on June 26, following €500M and €200M fines in April (Peggy Corlin/Euronews)
