I found a magic tool that solves my biggest headache in video creation.
Friends who create content know—you're shooting in portrait mode, but uploading to YouTube requires landscape. Cropping cuts off parts of the frame, adding black borders looks ugly.
Now there's an open-source tool that uses AI to extend the footage outward, truly generating new content that seamlessly matches the original scene.
This tool is called ComfyUI-Wan-VACE-Prep, based on Alibaba's Wan VACE model.
It's very easy to use: load the video → select extension direction → wait for generation. Key parameters:

Read a short excerpt from CZ @cz_'s new book
1. Relates deeply to the experience on Van, especially the part about King Edward and Hasting
2. Surprised that these Wall Street hedge funds entered Bitcoin so early, such as Susquehanna, Jump Trading, Citadel, Optiver, Two Sigma, Five Rings Capital, etc.

Nvidia-supported Firmus.
Raised $1.35 billion in 6 months.
Valuation of $5.5 billion.
An Australian AI data center company.
Funding speed matches SaaS unicorns.
The computing power gap is so large that capital is willing to bet on any team with GPUs.
You can't get GPUs, others will help you build the data center.

In the future, please ask the local model to handle these token-consuming tasks.
Especially for something like autoresearch—only through multiple-iteration loops can it produce results.
1. As long as you have a spec and a clear goal
2. A complete structural framework + backtesting
Then you can use qwen 3.5 locally, running it 24/7 endlessly to churn out a strategy that satisfies me—feel what “capitalist exploitation” really means.

Honestly, tell me, have you made money with AI?
What kind of money did you make? I only make money from trading and earned minimax's money.
Honestly, with all this daily FOMO, it’s knocked me into sage mode. If you're not selling hardware or intermediary station tokens, I think AI isn't as profitable as crypto.

You can achieve precise character preservation without training LoRA
A ComfyUI node package called Flux2Klein-Enhancer has done exactly one thing—when generating images with the Flux model, it keeps a character’s appearance precisely and consistently without any additional LoRA training.
In the past, for AI face swapping, AI portraits, and IP character consistency, you had to first train a LoRA or use an IP-Adapter. Training time, compute resources, and fine-tuning—the bar was not low.
This approach goes straight around all of that.
The principle is: in the inference stage, do feature

Polymarket allows users to bet on when the U.S. military pilot will be rescued.
An F-15E was shot down over Iran, and Polymarket launched a market: Will the U.S. confirm the pilot's rescue on April 3rd or April 4th?
Users can bet Yes or No. Over 63% of the bets are on the pilot not being rescued soon.
Democratic Congressman Seth Moulton was outraged. He wrote on social media: They could be your neighbors, friends, or family. And some are betting on whether they will come back alive.
He called Polymarket a dystopian death market. By the way, he mentioned that Donald Trump Jr. is an investor in

Houses in the United States are aging collectively.
Seeking Alpha just published a report: The rising costs of home maintenance in the U.S. are increasing financial pressure on homeowners.
The median age of existing homes in the U.S. has exceeded 40 years.
Post-World War II baby boom construction peaks mean those houses are now due for major renovations. Roofs, plumbing, electrical systems, foundations—
Building material prices have not truly fallen since 2020. Labor costs have soared—shortage of blue-collar workers is one of the biggest structural issues in the U.S. labor market.

Kevin Warsh's Fed Chair nomination hearing is scheduled for April 16th.
Trump wants to replace Powell.
Warsh has a solid background: Stanford + Harvard Law School, former executive at Morgan Stanley, and in 2006 became the youngest Federal Reserve Board member in history. He is from the Bush era.
But he faces two obstacles.
First: Senator Thom Tillis publicly said he would not vote. The reason is not opposition to Warsh himself, but a demand that the Department of Justice finish its investigation into Powell first. It’s rare for a Republican to oppose a nomination from his own party in

The most counterintuitive data of Q1: REITs outperformed the market
FTSE Nareit All Equity REIT +2.22%.
During the same period, S&P -7.05%
Leading the gains are self-storage (+9.2%) and strip centers (+8.6%)
The biggest decline is office REIT (-12.8%) — AI has fueled white-collar workspace anxiety into stock prices
Data center REITs benefit from AI dividends, while office REITs bear the brunt of AI anxiety
The same theme, completely opposite valuations — interesting🤔

Anthropic spent $400 million to acquire a company with fewer than 10 employees 🧬
This company is called Coefficient Bio, founded just last year, with a team entirely composed of computational biologists from Genentech.
Spending $400 million on 10 people? Are they crazy?
Not at all. They’re investing in AI + biotech.
Dario (Anthropic CEO)’s ultimate goal is to have Claude participate in drug development. In January, they launched Claude for Life Sciences, integrating research platforms like PubMed and Benchling. Now they’ve also brought people on board.
Basically: AI is no longer jus

The arrival of Generalist AI's GEN-1—robots are really working
At GTC 2026, two robotic arms autonomously completed phone packaging
NVIDIA is building the "Android" for robots, while Generalist provides the "application layer" agile operation model, and Universal Robots supplies the hardware.
Unlike Figure or Tesla Bot, Generalist focuses solely on models, integrating with other hardware. Light assets, rapid iteration.
2026 will be a watershed year for general-purpose robots. Not because of stunning demos, but because the supply chain has taken shape: chips + models + hardware + scenarios, all

A paper made me stop and read for half an hour. S0 Tuning
Core idea: Without changing the model weights, just tuning an initial state matrix can significantly improve the model's coding ability.
On Qwen3.5-4B, using only 48 HumanEval training samples (not 48K, but 48), S0 tuning increased pass@1 by 23.6 percentage points.
Compared to LoRA, S0 outperformed by 10.8 percentage points. p-value < 0.001, statistically significant.
On FalconH1-7B, S0 achieved 71.8%.
This means that after tuning, the model's speed and size remain unchanged, only the "starting position" is better.
For those
