Why the @UAE is the UAE? Because in the west we don’t have adaptive school systems such as ones in Japan, China or the Hong Kong. Yet, a small middle eastern country shows it can lead. Why? Because, for good and the bad, it is a meritocracy that makes decisions based on data.
If you've got school aged kids, this is one to watch. The UAE is one of the first countries to launch a K-12 AI curriculum. That means kids as young as 5 or 6 years old are now taking AI classes. I sat down with Education Minister @SarahAmiri1 to find out the vision for the program and what exactly it'll look like:

Meanwhile, in Bangkok, Thailand’s prime minister sang “Let It Be” and “Blowin’ in the Wind” as Singapore’s prime minister played guitar. #Thailand #Singapore

How Dubayy i.e. #Dubai came to be a successful port… way before UAE was established. Good Sunday lesson in history - human narrator, #AI enhanced video.
صدق الاستاذ سامي الريامي في قوله أن الحديث عن #خور_دبي يتعدى الحديث عن أي مشروع عادي، بل عن رؤية غيّرت مستقبل #دبي بالكامل. فعندما قرر المغفور له بإذن الله الشيخ راشد بن سعيد آل مكتوم تأسيسه لم يكن الجميع مقتنعاً بفكرته، لكن #الشيخ_راشد كان يرى ما لا يراه الآخرون. أصر على تطوير الخور، واتخذ قرارات جريئة سبقت زمنها، ليس فقط في البنية التحتية، بل حتى في أساليب التمويل والتخطيط التي كانت متقدمة على عصرها. الشيخ راشد، رحمة الله عليه، لم يكن حاكم فقط، بل كان قائداً نابغاً سبق وقته، ورجلاً يفكر بعقلية المستقبل، في زمن كان فيه كثيرون يفكرون بعقلية اللحظة. ونحمد الله اليوم أننا ما زلنا نعيش آثار تلك الرؤية، ونرى نتائجها في كل زاوية من جوهرة العالم #دبي. والأجمل أن هذه المسيرة لم تتوقف، بل يواصلها اليوم صاحب السمو الشيخ #محمد_بن_راشد آل مكتوم، بنفس الطموح، ونفس العقلية التي لا تعرف المستحيل. رحم الله الشيخ راشد، فقد كان رجلاً جاء قبل أوانه. وأشكر الأستاذ سامي الريامي على هذا المحتوى التاريخي الجميل، الذي لا يكتفي بسرد المعلومة، بل يلفت انتباه الناس إلى تفاصيل مهمة في تاريخ دبي والإمارات قد لا يعرفها الكثيرون. توثيق هذه المراحل مهم جداً، لأن الأجيال يجب أن تعرف كيف بدأت الحكاية، وكيف بُنيت هذه المدينة.

Holding the new @intel Xeon in my hands reminds me of a 2.5" Solid State Drive... during the @scahpcasia2026 incredible how CPU technology advanced through the years. These Xeons are going to power a lot of science going forward. #SCA_HPCAsia2026

"Inference will not reduce the need of compute when compared to training. It will increase that need as everyone will be using it." Jennifer Glore from @SambaNovaAI at the #SCA2025 conference in Singapore. Could not agree more.

Bruh, if I wanted to rummage through random personal shit, I could have done that at PAYPAL. Hello??? Having tens of millions of people marked in Social Security as “ALIVE” when they are definitely dead is a HUGE problem. Obviously. Some of these people would have been alive before America existed as a country. Think about that for a second …
I want to save billions of your money and make our government more efficient. Rummaging through your personal shit is *not* that. A party of chaos loses—always.

As our projects become public, we'll be more open in disclosing what's new with #ecoblox - bringing the power of #AI #blockchain #decentralized #compute everywhere. Looking forward to speaking at the @MEF #Barcelona @MWCHub #MWC24 @GSMA

Sad oversimpliciation of private sector aviation that doesn’t receive multi-billion $€£ bailouts when a globa crisis emerges. In any case, Norwegian did not fail and Norway now has two carriers. simpleflying.com/norse-atlan…

On an entertaining note, whatever happened to @FIAFormulaE - they've made themselves unreachable for any seasoned traveler - where's the global paywall service? Couldn't watch races in Austria, Croatia, Switzerland, USA, China, Thailand and home in UAE...

Doing math on when #AI data centers are going to overtake #Bitcoin power consumption. With next-generation chips consuming more than standard #BTC machines, being hosted in less efficient data centers - we might see the shift as soon as 2026. Will AI be new #climatechange enemy?

Seriously? In the 1990s, F1 drivers had 16 races with no restrictions - about 15K km per annum, and driving more than 30k km in private tests. 23 races x ±1K km per weekend - 26K tops. Burnout? 2023 grid drives 50k in simulators, give'em real deal. planetf1.com/news/gpda-chair…

As of latest update (2022.12), my ⁦@Tesla⁩ #ModelY is experiencing these issues not just in #autopilot - but in #cruisecontrol too. Note 2 @elonmusk - we don’t need wipers as much in #Dubai :) :) piunikaweb.com/2022/11/22/te…
