John Cleese on the benefits of extemism! youtu.be/98HWjHMgPg4?...

Now it's easier than ever to get started with a graph. A zero copy architecture allows you to connect #Neo4j Virtual Graph to a #Snowflake or #Databricks workspace & within minutes have a working virtual graph over tables you already trust. GRAPH ALL THE THINGS!!!! neo4j.com/blog/graph-d...

We see what we’ve been shown.

Too many people still confuse Software Engineering with writing code. Code is the artifact. Software Engineering is understanding the problem, making tradeoffs, designing the system, reducing complexity, and deciding what shouldn't be built. No amount of 'vibe coding' can help you with this.

Structure produces behavior.

The Mandalorian and Grogu is actually really good. It starts off kind of meh. I wasn't feeling the opening, but once they get over the obligatory AT-AT action sequence and the story gets rolling, it's a great Star Wars flick. So many easter eggs too. Really enjoyed it.

Social media is a solvent. It dissolves. It dissolves relationships, truth, reality, careers, companies, self confidence, self esteem, intelligence... Handle with care.

Excellent insights from @jtalisman.bsky.social China can excel at AI not because their tech or LLM is better, but because their communities retain their procedural knowledge - the resource AI requires to function effectively. jessicatalisman.substack.com/p/the-contex...

AI accelerates everything! That's the good news AND the bad news. Expediting innovation and delivery along with bugs and technical debt. (seems the cool kids today call those last two things "vibe slop") #giftarticle www.wsj.com/tech/ai/vibe...

Antigravity looks awesome. Will have to check that out.

That's wild the Google kids are still playing Doom.

OK. 93 subagents collaborating in Antigravity to create a functioning operating system with tests in 12 hours has my attention.

Timmy TPU looks like an early Pixar test film. The claymation protein looks like Gumby. You can see the AI regurgitating what it's consumed in everything produced. I guess we celebrate the progress until we see the progress?

I'm excited about AI, but 20 minutes in the Google I/O keynote is a bit underwhelming. All that AI & you make the stage look like the inside of a 20 year old J Crew/Gap? I've see Arcade Fire w/LCD Soundsystem on that stage. I know it's capable of much more...

4 out of 5 dentists surveyed recommend Neo4j knowledge graphs for their patients who chew knowledge graphs.

I ran into a variation of this recently myself. LLMs are trained heavily on html and markdown. PDFs not so much. When extracting content from these pre-processing to get the content into a markdown format can help the LLM to do the thing you want it to do. medium.com/@martia_es/d...

Is Congress an MCP server? Because it's full of tools.

Ah. AI says it’s the flaw of the “average basket”. Daily essentials double in price while non-essential items deflate. They take the average and feed us that number. Which is some BS that doesn’t account for compounding either.

If the inflation rate is 3.8% how come the cost of many things has doubled, nearly doubled or more than doubled in the last year? The math ain’t mathin.

The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.

Tuscon gets 90% of its water from the Colorado River. Phoenix receives 40%. Prescott and Flagstaff do not get their water from the Colorado River. #themoreyouknow

Who here remembers SGI's MarkLogic DataRaptor Big Data Appliance? How epic was that!?!? www.theregister.com/on-prem/2012...

Excellent 20 mins on the current developing for AI agent landscape and where industry is headed in solving the memory problem. If you require a knowledge layer, you require a graph. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqiw...

QOTD: "Moving fast, AI-centric, venture creation." www.youtube.com/watch?v=aocZ...

"Organizations are treating AI as a technology procurement decision. Buy the platform, hire the engineers, deploy the models. But the foundation underneath those initiatives—the data layer—is missing." & that data is in databases, filesystems, pipelines & comes in all sorts of fun shapes & sizes!

Fascinating paper from MS research. Findings show that current LLMs introduce substantial errors when editing work documents, with frontier models losing on average 25% of document content over 20 delegated interactions, and an average degradation across all models of 50%. arxiv.org/abs/2604.15597

This is cool. TripAdvisor details how they enhanced their user experience to better provide and manage Points of Interest (POIs) using a knowledge graph and Neo4j is there! medium.com/tripadvisor/...

McKinsey research shows that while 80 percent of companies report using the latest generation of AI, the same percentage have seen no significant gains in topline or bottom-line performance. HT @jtalisman.bsky.social www.mckinsey.com/cn/our-insig...

I like this article on context engineering. When exploring a path you want to illuminate what's in your immediate area, and then continue to illuminate as you traverse the path. You don't necessarily need to keep the whole path lit. Especially if the path costs tokens. neo4j.com/blog/agentic...

Remember that time the DOJ released the Epstein files and redacted the names of all the rapists and abusers and perpetrators but did not redact any of the names or any of the personal information of the victims? That's a PII violation.

Inflation spiking at highest rate in 3 years. Gas up 28% Ground Beef up 20% Tomatoes up 50%(tariffs adding to this) Others spiking as transportation costs increasing. Prices going up faster than wages. Might be time to move to Springfield. finance.yahoo.com/economy/poli...

And my fridge and pantry used to hold $125 worth of groceries each week. Same fridge and pantry now hold $225 worth of food and groceries. How does he do it!?!? Simply amazing. Thanks, Trump!

Trump is amazing. My car used to hold $60 of gas, now it holds $120 worth of gas. Car didn't change for nothin! Thanks Trump!

To all the folks running the Cocodona 250 - YOU'RE AMAZING! KEEP GOING!!!! trackleaders.com/cocodona26

I'm beginning to think that DC may be a bubble that suffers from groupthink.

Thankfully nothing like this could ever happen with any other conflicts in the world, right?

Remember February 24, 2022 when Russia went full blown invasion of Ukraine? The establishment told us back then that the war would be over in 3 days due to the superiority of the Russian military but here we are 4+years later. Seems like some folks overestimated Russia and underestimated Ukraine.

Rachel Entrekin wins the Cocodona 250! Makes history as first woman to win #1 overall. Sets a new course record. An endurance master class. Congratulations, Rachel! run247.com/running-news...

Race elapsed time: 1 days, 22 hours, 10 minutes, 43 seconds. Rachel Entrekin at mile 218 in overall first place Killian Korth at mile 211 These two have been consistent pace for ~200 miles. So exciting. I don't know either one of them but so badass. So exciting to track. Keep going!!!

"Every day, millions of pieces of fake content are produced. Videos, audio clips, posts generated by artificial intelligence, distributed at industrial scale, aimed at shifting public opinion across entire countries. The people receiving them almost never know they’re fake." #Radar: bit.ly/3OKBJRb

Everything is a system of systems.

Over 130 miles in, the women are crushing the Cocodona 250 trackleaders.com/cocodona26

I remember when Uber came on the scene - all the money, the other startups, the vision of the self driving car, the race to be first, the competition for resources! And then... they became modern day taxis and pizza delivery. I think of that and wonder what'll become of some of these AI companies.

The met gala is hunger game vibes. A special event for the Capitol set bedazzling themselves in some District 1 couture.
