Uber and Lyft were just not meant to be, says Travis Kalanick.
The former Uber CEO said he has no regrets about how he handled a potential acquisition of Lyft.

Uber-Lyft talks in 2014 collapsed over valuation disagreements and cultural mismatches.

Kalanick recently launched robotics company Atoms and raised $1.7 billion for the startup.

So, I'm still experimenting with locally run LLMs (powered by solar cells!) for writing some inconsequential data mangling stuff for my "vintage cameras" hobby; it's quite interesting how the development cycle with these LLMs sort of drives home that LLMs are completely useless for almost anything they're advertised for, like writing (for humans).
The thing is: coding is the use case that LLMs are by far most suitable for and they still largely suck at it.
There's immense amounts of training data of correctly functioning code, there's tons of documentation, a lot of code is in repositories that include the full history of its development including why stuff was changed in small bits, code itself is the simplest of "human" languages and mathematically non-ambiguous, code can be checked in small bits for correctness by just running it, in many languages simple code snippets can be written to introspect on the code (e.g. find out what methods an object supports, so an LLM can query the language or libraries themselves in addition to the user) and perhaps most importantly: code is always and has always been very similar to other, existing code as most software serves the ever same repetitive use cases, both in detail and on a high level.
YET… using LLMs to code requires countless iterations to get there, both internally in the LLM (to get the code even running in the first place) and together with the user to make it do the right thing. And even when it's "there" the code is mediocre at best, and often veering into appalling.
And this is expected to just work on the first try on much more complex issues like writing for humans? Transcribing doctors? Having legal opinions? Identifying fraud? lol, sure

Actually, should the plural be "emoji" or "emojis" ?? 😵‍💫 - Both are used frequently! I think "emoji" reminds us of other loan words that end in "-i" in the plural, like "celli" or "radii" or "tori" or all the pastas. That's why many people feel that "emoji" is plural enough 😅 . But the word is from Japanese, and is called "emoji" in the singular, from "e" = picture and "moji" = character. (In contrast to "emot-icon", the word "emoji" doesn't have anything to do with emotion!) So my vote is for the regular English plural "-s", yielding "emojis" ✅ #emojis #linguistics #WorldEmojiDay

Content warning: systemic violence against children and parents, talking about racist shit

Folks in the US right now: Government secret police are still kidnaping people off the streets. A huge chunk of GDP has been dumped into an unprofitable grift. The entire economy has collapsed, except for the part propped up by building data centers that nobody wants, using loans based on no collateral. Basically the entire upper class have either been actively involved in child sex trafficking or ignored it. The president is a pedophile who started a war he can't win to distract from the fact that he's in the Epstein Files. No one can afford anything. People can't even afford diapers. Do something, or this country is going to explode.
Democrats: What if we elect a guy with a Nazi tattoo?
US Government: What if we crack down harder on the people who are resisting those secret police?
US Cops: What if we murder a baby?
Edit: Adding a CW. There are a lot of marginalized folks who are already overwhelmed and don't need a reminder.

So what happens when Trump strokes out while watching Kid Rock wrestle a Hulk Hogan impersonator in a televised barbed-wire cage match on the White House lawn that one of Trump's cronies has exclusive pay-per-view rights to? I mean, it's possible that the Democratic leadership will step up and insist on some form of regular order in the succession to Vance, but come on.
It is more likely that Vance – a weak, unimportant charisma-vacuum who is loathed by all of Trump's factions – will end up presiding over a far more chaotic period in American governance than anything that happened under Trump. That could mean ICE leaders ordering mass graves dug in the centers of America's largest cities, drunken generals invading random countries, podcasters declaring "The Purge" with brackets sponsored by Kalshi.

Went to implement tail-call optimisation in Pat. I didn't realise it beforehand (something I should have known, I guess) but CEK machine-style evaluators don't need anything special at all to implement tail calls. When using an explicitly-sequenced IR, frames are only added in with Let- or Seq-nodes, and if a call is in tail-position it won't be in either of these. Neat, the more you know, and easiest "fix" ever!

"which emojis are used the least often?" - Great question, and we rarely find data on this! But luckily, we studied this at least for two corpora with German users (and admittedly only for face emojis). So: Many object or symbol emojis (from the "tail end" of the emoji list) are very, very rarely used. Overall, faces and hearts are the most frequent. Among the face emojis, we compiled the full list of usages from a huge Twitter corpus (semi-public communication, 2014-2022) and a much small WhatsApp chat corpus (private or group communication). You can find the frequencies in this table linked below (and sort by frequency by clicking on the column). The least frequent face emoji in the large corpus was the "frowning face with open mouth" 😦, which most people have never seen before. Personally, I think it's pretty ambiguous and not very useful, as there are better emojis for anything it might express. #emojis #linguistics #WorldEmojiDay

The state of #Python ecosystem right now: almost everything is slop. Some projects are complete vibe-coded slop (autobahn, chardet, cryptography). Some projects are disguised slop ("Coding agents shouldn't co-author themselves.")
There is only a handful of human projects left (Flask being one bright example). And they're being killed. They're being killed by the neverending slew of slop pull requests. They're being killed by all their dependencies becoming slop. They're being killed because this whole ecosystem has became such a complete cesspit that you have zero motivation to do anything.
EDIT: and honestly, this is only going to get worse. When you kill the incentive to work on projects, you only get more slop. Maintainers give in, and more projects become slop. Or they give up, and projects get forked unto slop.

On LLM watermarking: LLMs aren't doing anything other than statistical generation (accurately or not) _by design_.
Having them watermark stuff doesn't change anything about how they work, it's just ends up being slightly different statistics used for the stochastical generation.
In other words, they always have been and always will be watermarking their output; the only difference about the Anthropic watermarking thing is it's less computationally intensive (for them) to detect.
This is categorically different from e.g. steganography in printers.

Anthropic has revealed that it will soon watermark content that is processed

which requires all AI system providers to watermark AI-generated or manipulated audio, image, text, and video outputs.
