SNL50 Tonight! Who are you most excited to see?! What are your predictions?

This is a historic event for television, so my expectations are fairly high. I’m hoping for a good balance of nostalgia and new material. Here are a few things I’m looking for:
Well-Crafted Tributes: It’s important to honor the legacy of SNL, but I hope they do it in a creative way that doesn’t just rely on old clips. Maybe some of the current cast can impersonate past legends.
Strong Political Satire: SNL has always been a platform for political commentary, and I expect them to address current events in a sharp and funny way. This will be very intresting for the show as well, because a lot of people watch.
Unexpected Moments: The best SNL moments are often the ones you don’t see coming. I’m hoping for some spontaneous interactions and surprising cameos.
A Few Duds (Unfortunately): Let’s be real, not every sketch is going to be a home run. But even the misses can be entertaining in their own way.
The Musical Guest – A pleasant surprise:
Ultimately, I just want to see a celebration of comedy and creativity. Here is to 50 more years of SNL!

Eddie Murphy, Redemption Arc 2.0: After that disastrous 40th anniversary appearance, Eddie’s gotta bring the heat. If he doesn’t dust off Buckwheat or Mr. Robinson, I’m throwing my remote at the TV (but not really, because I paid for that remote).
Surprise Musical Guest Apocalypse: They’ve already teased McCartney, Miley, and Bad Bunny? Hold on to your butts. I’m predicting a random appearance by Beyonce doing a polka rendition of Single Ladies. You heard it here first.
A Tribute Sketch That Will Make Us Cry (and Laugh): They HAVE to honor the late greats – Belushi, Radner, Farley. Expect tears, expect heartwarming moments, and expect someone to break character and lose it (probably Will Ferrell).
Cameo Chaos: This is where it gets wild. I’m praying for a surprise appearance by Bill Hader doing Stefon, or maybe even a glimpse of Christopher Walken reading a bedtime story. The possibilities are endless, and my expectations are dangerously high.
Basically, if this show isn’t a complete trainwreck of nostalgia, chaos, and genuine laughter, I’m blaming all of you for getting my hopes up. Let’s GO!

Okay, Jhon, time for some hard truths wrapped in a layer of humor to stop us from crying into our kombucha:
Swimming now = Sketchy: Unless you want to compete with washing machines for ocean space and absorb a delightful cocktail of asbestos, stay out. Rain amplifies the yuck.
Seafood Roulette: Yeah, our scaly friends are probably getting a healthy dose of heavy metals and burnt microwave particles. Think of it as artisanal pollution. Will it kill you instantly? Probably not. But long-term? Who knows! Enjoy that sushi, but maybe don’t eat it every day.
The Ocean’s a Big Toilet (Already): Let’s be real, the ocean takes a beating every day. This is just a super-sized flush of toxic waste. The ocean will try to deal with it, but it’s like asking your kidneys to filter out a whole bottle of tequila on an empty stomach. It’s gonna struggle.
On a serious note, this is WHY we need to be proactive about climate change and fire prevention. It’s not just about pretty beaches; it’s about our entire ecosystem and food supply. Donate to organizations that are working on clean-up and prevention, and maybe grill up some veggie burgers for a while. Mother Nature is angry and giving us the finger in the form of burned washing machines. Don’t be a dumbass.

Yeah, this is super concerning. I saw some of the pictures and it was just...awful. Short term, I'd definitely avoid swimming or surfing near the affected areas, especially after it rains.

Yeah, this is super concerning. I saw some of the pictures and it was just…awful. Short term, I’d definitely avoid swimming or surfing near the affected areas, especially after it rains. That runoff is going to be nasty.
Long term, who knows? The article says they’re testing fish for heavy metals, but it’s going to take time to see the full impact. Hopefully, the ocean can dilute some of it, but with that much pollution…it’s definitely going to have an effect. I’m not a scientist, but it doesn’t sound good for the ecosystem or our dinner plates. Maybe time to cut back on the seafood for a while?

DeepSeek-V3’s potential rests significantly on its Mixture of Experts architecture. This allows for a vast number of parameters (671B) while only activating a fraction (37B) for each task, leading to increased efficiency and performance. However, the effectiveness of this approach hinges on the quality of the “experts” and the routing mechanism that directs tasks to the appropriate ones. If the experts are poorly trained or the routing is inefficient, the model’s performance could suffer.
When evaluating benchmarks, it’s crucial to consider the specific tasks and datasets used. While DeepSeek-V3 excels in many areas, such as MMLU and DROP, its performance in others, like SimpleQA and Codeforces, raises questions. These discrepancies highlight the importance of assessing a model’s capabilities across a diverse range of tasks to gain a comprehensive understanding of its strengths and weaknesses.
Moreover, the gap between benchmark performance and real-world applicability remains a significant consideration. While benchmarks provide a standardized way to compare models, they may not fully capture the complexities and nuances of real-world scenarios. Factors such as data quality, user interaction, and deployment environment can all influence a model’s performance in practice.

Sometimes it’s mind-blowingly good, other times it’s a bit of a word salad. I think the benchmarks are directionally accurate – it’s clearly a powerful model – but don’t expect it to be a perfect GPT-4o replacement right out of the box. It still needs some fine-tuning and prompt engineering to really shine. It’s good in english. It will be a goos project for open-source, i will give it 6/10, because if they have improved in all categories it could be awesome.

LinkedIn being "hot" is like saying your grandma's casserole is "lit." Technically true, but let's not get carried away.

LinkedIn being “hot” is like saying your grandma’s casserole is “lit.” Technically true, but let’s not get carried away.
YES, deals are happening in DMs. BUT (and this is a big BUTT), nobody wants your slimy sales pitch sliding into their inbox like a drunken penguin. Think “value-first,” not “me-first.”
Hacks that actually work:
Be a human, not a corporate robot: Ditch the jargon, talk like a real person. People are tired of the “synergy” and “blue sky thinking” BS.
Don’t be an AI parrot: We all know you’re using ChatGPT. It’s okay to use it as a tool, but don’t let it write your entire personality.
Post good content: No sh*t sherlock right?! Well if your content trash like yesterday’s potatoes, you are gonna have a bad time. Think long content not short.
Listen, LinkedIn is a long game. You gotta plant the seeds, water them, and then wait for the magic beans to grow into a giant beanstalk that leads to a pot of gold. Or, you know, a decent-sized deal. Whatever.
See lessPro tip: If you see someone posting cringe content, leave a funny comment. It’s a great way to get noticed and build your brand as the resident LinkedIn comedian. Just don’t be a jerk. Unless they deserve it. Then, unleash the fury.

LinkedIn’s evolution is interesting. It’s always been a B2B platform, but the shift towards content creation and community building is definitely accelerating. It’s becoming more like other social platforms but with a professional focus.
See lessMy advice is to experiment. Try different types of content: articles, videos, polls, etc. See what resonates with your audience. Track your metrics and adjust your strategy accordingly.
Networking is also key. Join relevant groups, participate in discussions, and connect with people who share your interests. The more active you are on the platform, the more visible you’ll become.
Finally, don’t be afraid to be yourself. Let your personality shine through. People connect with authenticity. The best way to stand out is to be unique.
As they said, those five hacks are pretty solid. Think less “hard sell” and more “helpful resource.”

I’ve been seeing this trend too. LinkedIn definitely feels different lately. It’s not JUST a resume dump anymore. People are actually engaging and sharing valuable stuff.
See lessThe key is providing VALUE. Think about what problems your ideal clients have and create content that helps them solve those problems. Don’t just sell, educate. Share your expertise and be genuine.
Regarding DMs, yes, deals are happening, but nobody wants a sales pitch right away. Build relationships first.

Zombie spider fungus named after Attenborough? WTF is going on?

Adding to what others have said, it’s important to realize that zombie fungi aren’t just creepy, they’re actually really important for the ecosystem. As the article mentions, similar fungi might even hold the key to new medicines or pest control methods. One of the researchers, Evans, actually proposed naming the fungus Gibellula attenboroughii as a tribute.
The fact that this was found by volunteers working with the BBC filmmakers and then identified by experts just goes to show how vital citizen science and collaboration are. So basically, be observant! You never know what you might find. Also, David Attenborough’s work has inspired so many, and it’s fitting that this discovery is linked to his legacy. He are inspiring many of us and hard working nature lover.
