learning backend development should be fun, right
you can now take your frustration out on roadmaps Press SHIFT + R to try it out at roadmap.sh/frontend

Hey that’s me
We're here at #GoogleCloudNEXT    where @mjburnsy is chatting with @anjank04 of @fivetran about the new paradigm of AI, what a modern stack should look like, and what it means for your data architecture.

to reiterate: whatever went wrong between amodei & hegseth, whatever rivalry between the labs, this is a massive overreaction and a dark precedent

Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome. AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement. We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only. We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements. We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Government officials have contradicted Sam’s claim, saying OpenAI will allow the DoW to use their models for “all lawful purposes”. This could allow for uses Anthropic refused to engage in, namely mass surveillance tools and weapons systems with no human oversight. x.com/undersecretary…

Low-key websites I quietly rely on 1) roadmap.sh Gives you a brutally clear learning path for roles like frontend, backend, DevOps, etc No fluff, just “learn this → then this → then this”. 2) playcode.io An online playground to quickly test HTML, CSS, JS without setting up anything locally Perfect for quick experiments and debugging ideas 3) usehooks.com A collection of reusable React hooks with real use cases Saves time and helps you avoid rewriting the same logic again and again 4) devhints.io Concise cheat sheets for languages, frameworks, and tools. Ideal when you forget syntax and don’t want to read a 20-minute blog 5) jsoncrack.com Turns messy JSON into a clean visual tree Makes understanding large APIs and configs way easier than staring at raw text 6) realtimecolors.com Lets you generate and preview color palettes instantly Useful when you want decent UI colors without guessing or copying blindly 7) regex101.com Build, test, and debug regex step by step with explanations Honestly, the fastest way to stop hating regex 8) bundlephobia.com Shows how big an npm package really is before you install it Helps you avoid bloating your app with “tiny” libraries 9) caniuse.com Tells you which CSS/JS features actually work across browsers Essential before using shiny new features in production 10) toolbox.googleapps.com Google’s own diagnostics tools for DNS, email, headers, and network issues Surprisingly useful for debugging real-world problems 👉 Which one of these do you already use and which one did you not know existed?

Just published a new piece on @TDataScience 👇 I broke down the exact repeatable process I use to clean messy CSV files with pandas. I'm sharing this as part of my “learn/build in public” journey. Curious? How do you approach data cleaning? Check out the article below 👇

Most teams buy GPU compute and assume their models will just scale, but in reality, much of their investment isn't efficiently utilized. Lightning AI CTO @lantiga sat down for an interview with @thenewstack and @fredericl, and explained how Lightning helps AI teams get more from each dollar of compute. From training to inference, teams can speed up their models while saving on GPUs. It’s not just about the GPU or kernel level, it’s profiling, chunking, and overlapping every part of your pipeline. Watch the full interview: go.lightning.ai/3LyJl71

I also came across roadmap.sh recently and honestly, it’s one of the best free resources I’ve seen in awhile for learning tech and AI. It gives you a roadmap for almost every tech field, from web development to data science to AI. It’ll save you lots of confusion.
