Libraries: free. AI: subscription. Libraries: written by humans with expertise. AI: trained on whatever was on the internet. Libraries: staffed by professionals. AI: confidently wrong. Go to the library.

Libraries are citadels of knowledge and empathy—and they’ve played an extraordinarily important role in my life. I spoke with @SmithsonianSec Bunch about our shared love of books, A Promised Land, and the role storytelling plays in shaping our history.

Presidential libraries in America have a public function: to preserve a former leader’s papers. But they also have a more personal one: to let presidents present their achievements and justify their actions

“Presidential libraries reveal the extent to which America invests presidents with a quasi-imperial aura.” On “The Intelligence” @jonfasman visits Barack Obama’s

Use PyTorch-native libraries within the NVIDIA NeMo Framework to customize models to hit your exacting requirements for latency, speed, memory, and compute. @NVIDIA's blog demonstrates how quantization-aware distillation (QAD) improves the Nemotron 3.5 Lightning model using NVIDIA Model Optimizer. We walk through the entire training pipeline, and show how QAD consistently outperforms post-training quantization (PTQ) compression on agentic benchmarks, ensuring high quality while reducing memory usage.

Most sound libraries get heavier when they add more clicks. I added three. Still no files. Still ~2kb. Unmute. Three new cues, synthesised live. Your UI doesn’t have to stay silent.
