The Learjet 60 that crashed in Palm Beach County today went from 35,000 ft to the ground in 76 seconds. I rebuilt the last 3 minutes in 4D from ADS-B, ATC audio, a NEXRAD analysis and dashcam video, then ran the engineering. Here's what the data says, and what it doesn't. 🧵

We trained a 4B decision model on over 117k decision-making examples with OpenResearch Our model performs practically identically to Jev in all areas except one: sarcasm detection During evals, our model was able to generalize to other, unseen tasks like hate-speech severity, emotion detection, and intent classification, but sarcasm remained a common failure mode

‼️Breaking: World’s Largest Crypto Exchange Binance Hacked, Over $5.7 Billion Reportedly Stolen Details: cybersecuritynews.com/binanc… Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, has suspended deposits and withdrawals while investigating a suspected security breach involving billions of dollars in digital assets. Reports suggest that around $5.7 billion may have left wallets linked to the exchange, although Binance has not confirmed the total stolen or established that every flagged transfer belongs to the attack. If verified, the incident could become the largest cryptocurrency theft on record. Binance promised to cover all losses and said its teams were conducting security checks, freezing funds, and working with law enforcement. “User funds are safe,” the exchange said, adding that it would publish a full post-mortem once the investigation ends. #CybersecurityNews #Binance

Sam Altman just told you local inference is terrible. Of course he fucking did. He sells the cloud. He wants every prompt you write to go through his servers. His prices. His rules. His logs. He decides which model you get today and what it refuses to do. You do not control any of it. That is exactly why local inference has to win. Every model running on your own computer is one less user he controls. Every open weights release makes his pitch weaker. So now the pitch is that RAM in your own computer is a waste of the world's supply. I run DeepSeek, Qwen and GLM on my 4x 3090 every day. Nobody reads my chats. Nobody changes my model overnight. Nobody can switch it off. Honestly, this quote is the best ad for local AI I have seen all year. Fuck your cloud, Sam. Run it at home. teapawt.net/morqon/status/21158388…

sam: local inference is a terrible allocation of scarce resources “a lot of people want local inference, and somehow they assume that the problem is solved now because we have open-source models, we're going to be able to run them on our computers, and so we're not going to need all the stuff in the data centre but from a global allocation perspective, actually it's quite terrible to have everybody, like, have a bunch of the world's limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer and being used five percent of the time you want maximum utilisation in the cloud if you're trying to deal with this very supply-constrained environment somehow many people's intuition is the opposite of that”
