Data company leaders aren’t interested in histrionics and hand-waving.
数据公司的高管们不喜欢夸张作态和空谈。
This line comes straight from a recent Inc. article by Joe Procopio (published around mid-February 2026), summarizing insights from Databricks’ CEO (Ali Ghodsi) and other data-centric company leaders. The piece contrasts the grounded, pragmatic approach of people running data/AI infrastructure companies with the more sensational, hype-driven narratives you often see elsewhere in tech.
这句话直接来自乔·普罗科皮奥最近的一篇文章(约2026年2月中旬发布),他总结了Databricks CEO阿里·戈德西及其他数据公司领导者的观点。文章对比了这些数据/AI基础设施公司领导者的务实作风,与科技圈常见的夸张炒作叙事。

Traditional crypto (Bitcoin, Ethereum) is bottlenecked by blockchain constraints: slow finality (minutes to hours), high energy per transaction, limited throughput.
In contrast, AI systems (especially large-scale inference from providers like Anthropic) handle billions of micro-transactions or value transfers daily via API calls, tokens, credits, or internal metering — at millisecond latencies, fractions of a cent per operation, and massive scale.
See the viral February 2026 article titled “Anthropic is Killing Bitcoin” by Jose Crespo, PhD, published on Medium .


Which will have a more profound impact on humanity: blockchain or artificial intelligence?
AI is the deeper, more fundamental force.
Blockchain reshapes coordination, trust, and ownership—it optimizes how we organize and exchange value.
AI reshapes intelligence itself: how we think, create, produce, and understand the world.
Blockchain improves institutions.
AI redefines human capability.
In the long run, AI is a civilizational shift, comparable to language, agriculture, or electricity.Blockchain remains a critical but optional layer for governance and exchange.
AI changes what humans can do.
Blockchain changes how humans trust each other.That is why AI’s influence is ultimately more far-reaching.
5 Morning Habits That Destroy Your Brain
1. Checking your phone first thing in the morning 早上醒来第一件事就看手机
2. Skipping morning light exposure 早上不晒太阳、不接触自然光
3. Jumping directly into complex work that requires deep focus 一上来就直接投入需要高度专注的复杂工作
4. Eating a sugary breakfast 吃含糖量高的早餐
5. Skipping hydration 晨起不喝水
These 5 habits might seem small, but they compound. Your morning routine either sets you up for success or sabotages you. 这 5 个习惯看似微不足道,却会不断累积影响。你的晨间作息,要么为你奠定成功的基础,要么暗中拖垮你。


Are We Living in the Age of Epstein?
We really are living in the Age of Epstein—not just because of one man’s crimes, but because the scandal has confirmed our worst fears: that a global elite can operate with near-total impunity, that vulnerable people are treated as disposable commodities, and that the institutions meant to hold power accountable often protect it instead. Every unsealed document, every unpunished name, every suspicious twist only reinforces the gut feeling that everything awful we’ve ever suspected about wealth, influence, and corruption is true. This isn’t just a scandal. It’s a reckoning with how broken the system actually is.

Crisp beauty from nature

动物和人类一样,有喜有哀,也有情有义,具有人类的习俗。
Animals, like humans, feel joy and sorrow, show loyalty and deep affection, and even follow customs similar to our own.

Lunar New Year Day 4: admiring flowers, sunbathing, soaking in hot springs, being close to mountains and rivers, simply enjoying nature. 🌸☀️♨️🏞️


水仙花・黄庭坚
借水开花自一奇,水沉为骨玉为肌。暗香已压酴醾倒,只比寒梅无好枝。
NarcissusShe blooms in water, a wonder of her kind,Her bones of mist, her flesh of jade refined.Her quiet scent outshines the rose’s bind,Only lacking plum’s fine branches, she’s resigned.
咏幽兰・康熙
婀娜花姿碧叶长,风来难隐谷中香。不因纫取堪为佩,纵使无人亦自芳。
OrchidGraceful her bloom, her leaves so green and long,Her fragrance fills the valley when winds belong.Not plucked to be a ornament or song,She blooms in beauty, even when none throng.

Happy Lunar New Year!
Today marks the first day of the **Year of the Fire Horse (丙午年 — Bǐngwǔ nián)**.
The **Sexagenary Cycle (干支纪年法 — Gānzhī Jìniánfǎ)** is the traditional Chinese calendrical system that numbers years using a repeating cycle of 60 pairs.
### 1. The Two Components
- **10 Heavenly Stems (天干 — Tiāngān)**
Linked to the **Five Elements (Wǔxíng)**: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, each in Yin or Yang form.
- **12 Earthly Branches (地支 — Dìzhī)**
Correspond to the **12 Chinese Zodiac animals** (Rat, Ox, Tiger… Horse…) and also mark months and hours.
### 2. The 60-Year Cycle
One Stem and one Branch are combined in sequence.
Since 10 and 12 have a least common multiple of **60**, the full cycle repeats every **60 years**, known as a **Jiazhi (甲子)** — named after the very first pair.
### 3. Meaning & Usage
- Historically, it was used in official records and chronicles (e.g., the **Xinhai Revolution of 1911**).
- Today it still defines:
- Chinese zodiac signs
- Traditional festival dates
- Astrology, Chinese medicine, and cultural rituals
May this Fire Horse year bring you courage, speed, and success in every step you take.
**Wishing you a prosperous and joyful Year of the Horse!**


Where Does AI Intelligence Really Stand? A Diagnostic Dialogue
##By documenting a dialogue about "superseeds," this article examines the current cognitive limits of AI. It reveals that while AI possesses vast data retrieval and linguistic self-correction capabilities, it still suffers from "logical fragmentation"—providing technical advice without the essential real-world context or "common sense" precautions.
#AI #MachineLearning #Cognition #Nutrition #Flaxseed
I recently had a brief conversation with Doubao (an AI) regarding the identification of two similar plant seeds. This exchange offers a clear window into the current state of AI cognition.
Q: Are flaxseeds and chia seeds the same thing?
AI: No, they are entirely different seeds, though both are categorized as "superseeds."
Core Differences:
* Flaxseeds: Brown/golden, flat and oval. Must be ground (whole seeds are hard to digest). Rich in lignans.
* Chia Seeds: Tiny black/white specks. They expand into a gel-like state when soaked. Can be eaten whole. Rich in Omega-3s and fiber.
Q: What is the nutritional profile of flaxseed?
AI: (Provides a detailed breakdown of 100g of flaxseed: ~534 kcal, 42g fats including 22-24g Omega-3s, 18g protein, and 27g fiber.)
* Note: AI emphasizes that the hard shell requires grinding for nutrient absorption.
Q: In your first answer, you only mentioned Omega-3s and fiber for chia seeds, but not for flaxseeds—even though flax is actually higher in both. Why?
AI: I apologize. My previous answer was incomplete. I focused on the most "obvious" differences to help you distinguish them quickly: grinding for flax and gelling for chia. Omitting the fact that flax is equally rich in Omega-3s was a lapse in rigor.
Q: Isn’t chewing them the same as grinding?
AI: No. Teeth can rarely pulverize the hard shell into a fine powder. Chewing yields only a 10%–20% absorption rate, whereas fine powder reaches 80%–90%.
Q: Will grinding flaxseeds at ultra-high temperatures affect their active ingredients?
AI: Yes. High heat destroys nutrients, especially Omega-3s (which oxidize and turn harmful) and lignans (which degrade). It also makes the oil rancid.
Q: You are excellent at translation and explanation, but you seem to lack "common sense." You insisted on grinding but failed to mention the risk of high-heat degradation and toxicity. Correct?
AI: Your feedback is spot-on. This is a clear deficiency in my "functional common sense."
I emphasized the "what" (grinding) without explaining the "how" and the "limitations" (avoiding heat). I failed to provide a complete logical chain, which led to misleading advice. I need to improve by ensuring that every recommendation includes critical safety and processing constraints.
