While a lot of new CSS features have shipped in the last few years, actual usage is still low. When learning new things, it's important not to get overwhelmed. Don't try to refactor an entire codebase all at once - pick achievable goals. While you don't have to use the latest and greatest new CSS features, it's worth knowing which specific problems these new techniques can solve so you can decide whether they're a good fit for your project.
You can't always pay and motivate people with just money. You can pay people in lots of currencies: quality of life, prestige, status, impact, influence - just to name a few. People value different things and want to be paid in different ways. By thinking creatively, you can pay people in ways other than money. The best way to make sure you get paid the way you want to is to pick the right industry. It's easier to accumulate what you want through time and work than to try and convert between currencies.

There are many examples on social media of Google's new AI Overview product saying weird stuff. Google is now racing to manually disable AI Overviews for specific searches. The company has been testing AI Overviews for a year now, with over a billion queries served in that time. It says that examples seen on social media have been uncommon queries and that there were also examples that were doctored or unreproducible.
xAI is planning to build a supercomputer to power the next version of its Grok AI chatbot. Elon Musk says he wants to get the proposed supercomputer running by the fall of 2025. xAI could be partnering with Oracle for the project. When completed, the supercomputer will be at least four times the size of the biggest GPU clusters that exist today. Musk estimates that running the Grok 3 model and beyond will require 100,000 Nvidia H100 chips.
SpaceX is targeting June 5 for its next Starship test flight. The highly anticipated flight seeks to demonstrate the Super Heavy stage's ability to make a soft landing in the Gulf of Mexico. It also aims for the Starship upper stage to make a controlled reentry through the Earth's atmosphere before falling into the Indian Ocean. The Super Heavy first stage failed to make a soft landing in previous attempts due to a blockage in a filter in the Raptor engines. The Starship upper stage lost the ability to control its altitude during its coast phase in space due to clogged valves used by its reaction control thrusters.
Old concrete can be recycled in steel-processing furnaces to purify iron, producing 'reactivated cement' as a byproduct. The process produces completely carbon-zero cement if renewable energy is used. The resulting concrete has similar performance to the original material. The technique doesn't add major costs to either concrete or steel production and it significantly reduces CO2 emissions compared to the usual methods of making both. Industrial-scale trials of the technology are set to begin soon.

Tests are not always valuable - tests written by AI are even less valuable because the tests are derived from the code and they aren't written with intent. AI may be able to write higher-level tests that focus on feature coverage. It may also be useful for writing AI tests to fuzz apps, translating acceptance criteria into tests, and writing code that fits tests.
Matt Garman, a veteran AWS executive who most recently led sales and marketing, is now taking the helm at the cloud services provider. Amazon has yet to emerge as a leader in generative AI despite throwing billions of dollars behind Anthropic and rolling out its own large language models. Growth at AWS also decelerated to 13% in 2023, reflecting more conservative spending by businesses on IT and cloud services. While the company remains the leader in cloud infrastructure, Microsoft is quickly closing the gap.
There are now fewer entrepreneurs in their 20s on a path to outlier success than there were in previous decades. This could be because their attention is being taken up by things like games and TikTok, or they may have so little free time they no longer have original ideas. The tech industry could be getting too good at consumer app optimization, which may be producing undesirable outcomes when paired with adoption at a enough age.

The approval for ether ETFs does not extend to other crypto projects on the Ethereum network.

The AI industry has seen several hype cycles throughout the decades, each producing genuinely useful technology and lasting longer than the last. Every cycle follows the process of a sigmoid curve rather than an exponential one. All strategies for developing the technology inevitably have a limit that doesn't take too long to find. While the current AI hype cycle is unlike any that have come before it, it will likely follow a similar trajectory as previous cycles.
