Has anybody made a good Tesla roadster "Jump the Shark" image yet?

Looks like the AI stock story bot doesn’t understand the 1:4 $CRWD split, claims it’s way down. In reality, it’s way up.

Standford + ADP have some great dashboards showing the impact of AI on different job segments and age cohorts. The data shows big impact to the areas you'd expect them. digitaleconomy.stanford.edu/project/indi...

Both AMD and Intel pressing hard into the 3rd dimension to keep transistor density climing. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/25/t...

Was watching this 3Blue1Brown video about information theory, and realized Anthropic's Claude was named after Claude Shannon. Sure that's not news to many folks here, but it was to me! www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6DK...

Good job to S&P! Others should hold the line. Indices with shifting rules defeats the purpose. www.reuters.com/business/fin...

Very worrisome chart!

New test out, but they still haven’t just weighed the darn thing for us. idonutbelieve.com

Interesting chart in @pkrugman.bsky.social blog today about the role of oil in the US economy over time.

Quite the performance, including the legend herself! The whole LUX album is terrific too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fyu...

Well that’s not right!

Started a new job last week (at CrowdStrike), and spent some time updating my setup now that Mac is my primary work machine. 49” monitor and USB switcher toggles between work machine and personal gaming/video PC, with personal Mac on the side. The vinyl is always spinning…

Jelly Belly brand candy corn is the finest. Pickup a bag or two if you can find it!

Happening NOW: Eruptive M1.52 flare from the center disk. There looks to be an Earth-directed CME leaving now, although we need time to confirm how much material is actually ejected! Source is AR 4236. More updates soon. #heliophysics #aurora

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin ✨ figured out what stars are made of ✨ when she was just 25. 🔭🧪 Her PhD thesis basically established the Harvard astro department — at a time when Harvard didn't officially allow woman students. I wrote this little profile to mark the 100th anniversary of her thesis:

If you were a 90s club kid like me (even if not in NYC), you’ll love the nostalgia and imagery Night People by Mark Ronson evokes. The audiobook narrated by the author is perfect for that late night long drive you were dreading, as it evaporates w/ Hip Hop history. www.audible.com/pd/B0DTRQPXC...

Lots of interesting stuff in the blog post here!

Having trouble not clicking the buy button on this! #PCB #Arduino www.opulo.io/products/lum...

The fairy lights I put in my daughter’s room have a janky remote so I wanted to just hard wire them. They’re in parallel, with every other LED reversed, so I needed a little H bridge and clock to get them going. The best parts are free ones you have lying around! Total overkill of course!

I had an idea for a little word puzzle game, which I vibe coded up in <24 hours and deployed to AWS. Most of my time was spent coming up with puzzles, and tweaking CSS! Give it a whirl and let me know what you think. New puzzles daily! steps.hendrixson.org

Great overview of the new Vera Rubin observatory. youtu.be/0aRA5sIkr0g?...

Just got a new Dell, and boy are there a lot of background auto-start apps!

Wife got a great pic of Bear after her haircut.

You should always test in production.

Might be true, but “Songs from the Big Chair” was worth it.

Perfect soda for your GenZ kids!

Wanted to pickup Billie Eilish tickets this morning. No prob, I have a fan code! Log in ~2 mins after opening (it made me re-TFA for some reason)... "Your queue position is 131,296". Back to stubhub, as usual!

Spectre, part deux! comsec.ethz.ch/research/mic...

Guess I got a traffic fine while I was driving in Italy. Thankfully SIXT charged me 39 EUR to forward that letter to me, which took them almost a year, and now I get to pay the full 196 EUR penalty for "driving in a lane designated for certain vehicles". Here's a pic, what did I do wrong?

Guess it's time to log off for the night. I hit a rate limit looking at a bunch of code in GitHub!

This is just so cool! Full source out on GitHub as well, written in Rust. martypc.net

When I told my wife “can’t wait to see a cool band at the Sphere!”, this is not what I had in mind. www.ticketmaster.com/backstreet-b...

I've noticed more and more than spell check is getting worse. This one doesn't seem like a hard fix!

My older brother and I OBSESSED over Adventure. Great to read the history! www.atariarchive.org/blog/adventu...

Just hack a .gov for free hosting! vin01.github.io/piptagole/cy...

Great AI written article on Rivian warning lights. This is my favorite, the diesel particulate filter warning. Beware if you see this on your EV! automotivesimple.com/rivian-dashb...

Merely a hobby and I’m sure I lose money each device (even ignoring the labor), but it’s fun to make a thing and sell it. Just shipped this one out. Dig the brass bolts!

Another winder ordered, so I'm printing up another case, first time on the #bambulabs X1C. I'm getting discolorations when printing the top fully on the build plate, even when I tried sticking it in the freezer to release it. Trying a different orientation now!

Blaine's card magic here is pretty bonkers, and worth the watch! youtu.be/H9MuwkMyalU?...

Daughter is turning 16 soon (and is taking my Wrangler 4xe), so that means new car for me! Just got this #Polestar 3, and my initial impression is very positive!

This is excellent, now you’ve got no reason not to build for ARM!

I saw a huge line (~200 people?) outside a TJ's this morning and couldn't surmise what they had in common AT ALL. Now I know! A love of totes. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/b...
