Elon Musk is back with a brand new tech demonstration that, whether you like him as a person or not, will truly blow your minds. This video changes everything we know.

listen up ladies. im BROKE. im STRANGE. and i WILL die of a preventable illness like a 19th century CHILD LABORER

ed sheeran breaks down in tears when he realizes that the plasma grenade on his knee cannot be disarmed

I need a moratorium on CS guys talking about theories of cognition until they've taken at least one graduate level course on the subject, ran their thoughts by at least one PhD in neuroscience, and have detoxed from AI chatbots for at least one week beforehand

I need apps to stop welcoming me back

I broke my instance badly enough that I needed a full wipe. These instructions for setting it up again were fantastic! And with the re-partitioning step, this time things will be much more stable.

Oracle's free tier includes a 4-CPU / 24 GB RAM ARM VM. I thought it would be a great fit for NixOS, so I spent the last eight hours figuring out how to deploy a NixOS server to Oracle Cloud for free. Enjoy! mtlynch.io/notes/nix-or...

Victor Wembanyama Returns From Concussion Speaking Fluent French

me when someone cites the deep magic to me even though I was there when it was written: holy shit, for real? I don't remember that part at all

yeah man i'll circle back to you on that agenda item from yesterday's all hands in just a sec. our pedophile king just threatened to destroy a whole civilization

"Whoa, AI prototyped this so fast! This prototype is getting buggy. My AI agent can fix the bugs! Hmm, every bug fix adds more bugs Aha! My agent can review the code Wait, why am I passing data between agents I need an agent framework My agent can write an agent framework! [Return to step 1]"

The NYT is being disingenuous here. The AMA has *always* said that gender-affirming surgeries should generally be reserved for adults. That's part of why so few kids get them! The AMA reiterated this position and the NYT is characterizing it as a policy change. It's not.

everyone is now guided by a simple three word principle: "not me though." not me though

Having some of the most thoroughly redacted thoughts of my life.

Gary Larson: In my cartoon I invented Cow Tools as a cautionary tale Cows: At long last, we have created the Cow Tools from classic newspaper comic Cow Tools

Sorry, but triumphant claims about autonomous vehicle safety are wildly exaggerated. It's an open question whether today’s self-driving cars are any safer than those driven by humans. And if reducing crashes is the goal, that isn’t even the right question. My deep dive, in Bloomberg 🧵

Tragedy of the Commons believers the instant they have to pay a single road or bridge toll 🤯😠

a car’s horn should be as loud on the inside of the car as it is on the outside

It’s true: the cities are lawless and scary, if you live here sell your property as fast as possible, particularly if you have a 2 family row house from the 1920s with those nice bay windows.

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot. one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

Aura farming (being weirdly quiet because I can't keep up with the fun fast-paced conversation everybody else is having)

And here come all the “AI artists” or, more accurately, “typers.”

like so many products to come out of silicon valley in the last decade or so, AI is a legal innovation masquerading as a tech innovation. the legal theory seems to be that AI is entitled to everything but liable for nothing.

Antipasti implies the existence of pasti

I can excuse racism, but I draw the line at animal cruelty

It's 2025 how have we not solved the chilli oil jar problem yet

if musicians not getting paid wasn't enough for you, and Spotify CEO Daniel Ek investing 600 million euros in an AI war company wasn't enough for you, does having to upload your ID and turn on your webcam to listen to music finally convince you not to pay Spotify?

you’re telling me republicans are now going to call democrats communists since zohran won? they’ve never done that before it might be over

mushroom growers be like the high humidity terrarium will continue until morel improves

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

pope leo is going to declare the butlerian jihad any day now

You know what else reports a net loss every quarter? Every single police department in the country.
