Norway now has more than 2,000 underwater AI laser robots shooting lice off its salmon they're made by a company called Stingray, and they already guard more than 50 million salmon and trout 24/7 the reason is sea lice, tiny parasites that latch onto salmon and feed on them as few as 11 can kill a small fish, and one pen can hold 150,000 salmon the usual fix is pumping the fish out and blasting them with warm water or water jets to knock the lice off but the handling is so rough that Norway's fish health report ranks it the top cause of death in full-grown farmed salmon so instead, Stingray puts a robot inside the pen that hunts lice one at a time, all day: > two cameras watch every salmon that swims past > AI checks two frames to make sure it's really a louse > then a green laser fires from up to 2 meters away > the salmon's scales reflect the beam, so the fish swims off fine and the louse is dead we now live in a world where AI lasers do pest control on your dinner lmao

Trigger warning - controversial post on people management. Most corporate PIPs ("performance improvement plans") are corporate CYA shams that torture employees while delaying the inevitable. It's much better for the company (and the employee!) to part ways quickly and with generous severance. If managers just paid employees severance for the time the average corporate manager would have lallygagged with a PIP that goes nowhere, they can save time, money, and grief. Team performance is upgraded faster. And the problem employee can move on to something they can succeed at faster—spared the embarrassment of a sham PIP that is usually designed to set them up for failure. There is one critical but rare exception: a non-performing employee with a track record of exceptional performance. Or when is specific, compelling evidence that in a different role they can be not merely ok, but truly great. In that case, leaders should be curious and try (authentically, but only once!) to create the circumstances for exceptional performance. In my experience, true performance turnarounds are possible about 5% of the time. Mostly PIPs delay the inevitable or result in retaining a low performer who should not be retained. In the 95% case, parting ways quickly is good for employee and company. The 5% case where a turnaround is possible can create one of the most rewarding experiences for leaders.

☔️ Así va a llover en los próximos días en España. En la vertiente atlántica y puntos de Canarias se superarán los 100 l/m2, e incluso en el Sistema Central podrán pasar de los 300 l/m2. 🌡️ Se prevé un ambiente suave. tiempo.com/noticias/predicci…

Everyone saying “Oh Jensen got got. Jensen fell for the honeypot” Ever consider he knew the whole time? That actually HE was honeydicking China and feeding them false intel? It’s a new Cold War. There’s levels to this. Don’t jump to conclusions. Don’t rule out a honeydick

WTF?

A Learjet 60 private jet, en route from Texas to the Bahamas, crashed near Palm Beach this afternoon. The aircraft was in a steep dive at the time of the crash, descending at more than 30k feet per minute.

I've been using Wispr Flow a lot. A LOT. This week I've been trying to never use dictation and write by keyboard again. It feels easier to think while typing. My mind hurts less. I'm going to try to stop using Wispr Flow.

Gemini 4 Carbon is our next frontier model. It’s state-of-the-art across cybersecurity and long-horizon capabilities.

The only way out is through. They're calling it the Bugpocalypse. LLMs are being used to find long-hidden cracks in the software infrastructure, and it's happening at a furious rate. 3% of all compromises in computing history happened in the last week, claims one source? I believe it. There are people saying public access to the frontier models ought to be locked out, or heavily guardrailed, over this. The problem with that idea can be summed up in one sentence: when lockpicks are outlawed, only outlaws will have lockpicks. The lockpicks will be Chinese open-weight models, if nothing else. There's no way to stop those from becoming ubiquitous. There are two futures in front of us. One in which only the bad guys have lockpicks, and security holes go undiscovered until they're exploited. Another in which everybody has lockpicks and is aggressively red-teaming their own software so it gets fixed before the holes are exploited. The corpus of human code is huge but finite. The number of defects in it has to be finite too. We can fix those defects now; we have a million friendly robots to do it with. The only way out is through.

turns out it classifies what audio it hears, before reporting back to samsung. sensor preferences, dog-barking and baby-crying event counters, and camera streaming duration are built into telemetry paths.
