This headline is so sensational and misleading and embarrassing for the CBC. You’re Canada’s taxpayer-funded public broadcaster for god’s sake, exercise some judgement.
“Proposed data centre would release ‘23 Hiroshima-sized atomic bombs worth of energy’ a day, physicist says”

Thank you Adam 🙏
May you rest in peace.
$10M ARR is the FU MONEY of SaaS.
At $10M ARR bootstrapped, you and your co-founder clear $1M+/year in salary and dividends easily.
You can sell instantly for $30-40M. There are hundreds of EBITDA buyers at this level vs. a handful at $1B valuations.
From here, you can do whatever you want.
Hire a CEO and work 1 hour/week. Grind 100 hours if that's your thing. Raise $50M from a position of strength. Scale to $25M ARR with 25 people and pay yourself $10-15M/year.
Most companies never get here because VCs show up early with decacorn dreams and money you don't need.
That capital interferes with the one thing that makes you great: product-market fit.
Bootstrapping to $10M ARR is easier and less risky than creating a VC-backed unicorn, with a far higher probability-weighted outcome.
If you can find PMF and use customer money to get to $10M, you can do anything you want with your life.
That’s cool!
We asked GPT-6 Astra to edit Qwen3.5-0.8B weights to improve math.
It directly changed only 0.016% of weights, fixing 0.8B's reasoning loops & improving math up to 6x and even instruction following 3x, without gradients or training.
We call this Weight-Space Programming: frontier LLMs can now natively read/write neural network weights! 🧵

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
LLM was given weights explicitly as text in prompt and used code/forward passes (per authors' logs) to ablate Qwen looping direction, a known thinking-mode issue per model card. Primarily fixed repetition in that mode, not general 'natively' improving weights/math.

An IP address without context is just a number.
Who owns it? Where is it used? Is it critical?
LightMesh custom fields add business context and carry it through your address hierarchy.

Bolsonaro won the first round of the elections, odds of him winning the 2nd round were 80-90%
Then Lula "won", and Brazil's stock market plummeted 17%, bond yields surged 16%, and their currency collapsed 11%!
And just now Bolsonaro's passport was confiscated
BRAZIL HAS FALLEN
This is going to be a way easier sell to my wife than the robot dogs with freakin’ lasers attached to their heads.
“Honestly, throw me a bone here.”
🇩🇪 Four tiny Microduck robots completely stole the show at NVIDIA’s GTC Berlin keynote.
Jensen Huang had them sitting, standing, and taking naps right on stage, proving the future of AI robotics is officially adorable.
Microduck is an open source robot meant for developers and students who want to teach machines new physical skills, tweak them and share the results with others.

Sydney Sweeney reveals in an interview that she doesn’t care about the PHP vulnerability because she moved everything to Rust in 2024.
“They said the rewrite would take six months. We’re on month 30. We haven’t shipped a feature since, but I’m having a very normal Wednesday.”

It's worse than Heartbleed. it should be on the front page of every newspaper in the morning (but it wont be)
It's so weird living in a tech dominated world where everyone has a smartphone and is on the internet constantly..
..yet most people will never even hear about this.

Git 2.56 is here. ⚡ The new git add --resolved stages only paths that are still marked as conflicted, and refuses to stage them if conflict markers remain. One merge-base case dropped from 0.68s to 0.01s.
The highlights 👇
