On my little league baseball card, my dad wrote 'Loves computers.' Ever since then I’ve been pressing buttons trying to get them to do something useful.

3% of “critical” software security bugs, in all of recorded history, have been found in the last month. This is on pace to find another ~100,000 bugs this year alone, adding ~26% more vulnerabilities to the all time total Do you realize how fucking insane that is?

Jeremy Lin’s retirement video is an emotional one. From hitting a tough game winning bucket in Toronto as a New York Knick, to ending his NBA career winning an NBA championship with the Toronto Raptors. Crazy. Enjoy the next chapter of your life! @JLin7 ❤️

Something super weird happening right now: just been called by several totally different media outlets in the last few minutes, all with Windows machines suddenly BSoD’ing (Blue Screen of Death). Anyone else seen this? Seems to be entering recovery mode:

Number of AI startups per trillion GDP might be a leading indicator of a country’s future productivity, though not in isolation. 1. More revealing would be to also plot overall entrepreneurial activity. It has declined dramatically (more than 50%) in Canada in last 20 years from 3 out of every 1000 Canadians starting businesses in the year 2000 to only 1.3 in 2022. 2. Definition of an AI startup is suspect… few companies are not AI companies these days.
