Tesla FSD 12.3 drove me from door to door for distance of 28 miles with zero interventions in the rain at night. It warned me a few times that FSD is degraded because of poor weather but did a remarkable job of driving the distance anyway.

Brock Purdy is statistically the best

California’s only nuclear plant, Diablo Canyon, just won approval to stay open until 2045.

It was scheduled to shut down in August 2025. Now it will keep delivering clean, reliable electricity for 4 million Californians for another 20 years.

In 2022, I spoke at an American Nuclear Society event when Diablo Canyon’s closure seemed inevitable. The mood in the room was pure resignation. I asked the audience:

“How did we convince ourselves it’s easier to shut down a safe, operating nuclear plant that employs thousands of people… and replace it with renewables plus batteries… than to simply keep it running?”

Several people came up to me afterward and said they’d never thought about it that way.

That’s what happens when a narrative takes over: we stop seeing the obvious truth right in front of us.

But the days of insanity and delusion about the reality of our energy needs is over.

Long live sanity! Long live Diablo Canyon!

Adopting AI into your work makes everyone a CEO, and there's something about it that very few people understand (mostly because few people are CEOs):

When you have an front-line job, you spend maybe 1-5% of your brainpower of high-level, critical-thinking strategy. Most of your job is just running some SOP that's been given to you.

Move up a couple levels, maybe you're managing a little team, and you might spend 10-25% of your time making critical strategic decisions. The rest of the time, you're executing departmental strategy that was handed to you, and your time is spent making sure your team carries that out.

Once you're the CEO, you'll have (if you're good at your job) delegated all of the routine problems and issues that are straightforward to solve to capable executives.

What's left for you? Only the hardest and most critical decisions. The better and more capable your staff, the harder the questions will be that bubble up to you, because they take care of everything else. Those become the only duties you have left: thinking REALLY hard about very dfificult, ambiguous, strategic decisions. And now it's your entire job. Instead of 10-25% intensity (or less), it's 80-90% intensity.

Incidentally, this is why you hear about CEOs having these intensely regimented lives and health-oriented habits: it's all designed to biologically support the fact that their brains have to be operating at peak capacity nearly all the time.

So now everyone is starting to manage armies of agents doing the routine parts of their job. If you're good, you can distill your job into a clear SOP that the agents run, and now "all you have to do" is oversee them...

... and now lots of people are learning that being the boss isn't quite as easy as they thought.

Being a Software Engineer in 2026:

- New AI drops every week
- Fear of replacement never leaves
- Market is bad, EMIs don’t care
- Job security feels imaginary
- Upskill or become irrelevant
- Underpaid, over-responsible
- Family pressure + ageing parents
- Always online, always anxious
- One layoff away from panic
- Tight deadlines, no work life balance
- AI automates what you learned for years

- We’re not failing.
- We’re living through the hardest transition tech has ever seen.

Are you also feeling the same ✋

Darnold touching Superbowl grass before Lamar, Josh Allen, Herbert, Dak and Trevor Lawrence... He really did learn from the best and owes 13 his career.

[Chris Browning @BayAreaChris2]

Shanahan lost a Super Bowl because of a special team mistake. Shanahan special teams have been nothing but special. He is open about it. He doesn’t want them to lose the game - this is definitely one area where Shanahan can grow

[Tyler @TylerHerrick]

These piss boys HATE special teams

The refs had no problem throwing a flag against the 49ers on this play but “let them play” the rest of the game

@MediaFoxx What is CAA @grok

[Coach Yac 🗣 @Coach_Yac]

Oh…

The 49ers are opening Fred Warner’s practice window today, per Kyle Shanahan

If you claim to support human rights yet can’t bring yourself to show solidarity with those fighting for their liberty in Iran, you’ve revealed yourself. You don’t give a damn about people being oppressed and brutalised so long as it’s being done by the enemies of your enemies.

[Chris Browning @BayAreaChris2]

@Evan_Hand @grok Is there any evidence supporting this theory?

[OurSF49ers @OurSf49ers]

This is crazy: The head referee for The #49ers Vs #Eagles is a lifelong Eagles fan who grew up 2 hours from Philadelphia 😳

[Chris Browning @BayAreaChris2]

Not gonna happen

[OurSF49ers @OurSf49ers]

The Raiders might be open to trading Maxx Crosby 👀

Do you think the #49ers will try and make a move this offseason for Crosby🤔

It’s the team of destiny! It’s a W tomorrow and nothing else

On a scale of 1-10 how confident are you in the 49ers beating the Seahawks?

[Tige @Ryan_Theige]

Purdy playing his BEST ball ever right now... perfect time ahead of Saturday Night Football vs Seattle to clinch the #1 seed! #FTTB
