@HappyPunch Sucks, he was fun to watch before but now he turned into a total loser. Guarantee his career is screwed. Dana white gonna ban him from the UFC and then he can go fight influencers in the street. What a moron.
BREAKING: Iran has launched a massive ballistic missile and drone attack, striking the US 5th Fleet headquarters in Bahrain along with US bases in Kuwait, Ali Al Salem + Arifjan, and an oil tanker near Dubai, in response to new US strikes on Qeshm Island and an Iranian oil tanker near the Strait of Hormuz, per Tasnim.
Iran says it has officially abandoned tit-for-tat retaliation, now striking back "at least 1.5x as hard" for every US attack, with IRGC warning "disrupting the security of the Strait of Hormuz will have a heavy price for the invading US military."

NASA’s Artemis II livestream really makes you appreciate @SpaceX’s launch broadcasts.
Bad camera tracking, no onboard cameras, countdown timer disappeared, NASA even showed people in the crowd instead of stage separation lol. The screen also blacked out twice during the first 10 seconds of the launch.
🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 Iran just dropped its official demands to end the war.
Tehran wants:
1. Ironclad guarantees the war never happens again
2. Every single U.S. military base in the Middle East shut down
3. Full compensation paid by the U.S. and Israel for all damage
4. Complete end to all wars across the region, including against pro-Iran groups
5. A brand-new legal regime giving Iran control over the Strait of Hormuz
6. “Hostile media” figures handed over to Iran
That’s their price for peace.
To that, Trump had already released a "preemptive strike" by saying: "They want to make a deal. I don’t!"
I don't see it happening, guys.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy at the first autonomous vehicle safety forum today:
“A lot of our top innovators from Waymo, Zoox and Tesla are here, and we're going to have a day long conversation; If you have an autonomous vehicle, do you need a steering wheel? We have to rethink some of our requirements, especially for autonomous vehicles, which will allow them to bring down price, maintain the safety structure, but move forward and be competitive with the rest of the world."
NEWS: The redesigned Tesla Semi is now winter testing in Alaska.
Mass production is scheduled to start in 2026, with the new factory in Nevada now mostly complete.
NEWS: Elon Musk says SpaceX has shifted its focus to building a city on the Moon since it can be done sooner, but that SpaceX will still strive to build a Mars city and begin doing so in about 5 to 7 years.
"The overriding priority is securing the future of civilization and the Moon is faster."
UPDATE: The FCC has accepted SpaceX’s filing for a new non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) system of up to one million satellites, and is now seeking comments.
“This satellite system will represent the first step towards becoming a Kardashev II-level civilization - one that can harness the Sun's full power," according to SpaceX.
This is probably one of the wildest sentences I've ever read.
In Elon's new letter: "Factories on the Moon can take advantage of lunar resources to manufacture satellites and deploy them further into space. By using an electromagnetic mass driver and lunar manufacturing, it is possible to put 500 to 1000 TW/year of AI satellites into deep space, meaningfully ascend the Kardashev scale and harness a non-trivial percentage of the Sun’s power."
BREAKING: Elon Musk’s companies, SpaceX and xAI, are officially merging.
A newly updated business filing in Nevada list the business name as K2 MERGER SUB 2. K2 means Kardashev type 2 civilization 😎
Tesla will now own $2B of this merged company.
NEWS: Waymo has announced that they are now offering fully autonomous rides to the public in Miami, Florida.
"With nearly 10,000 residents already signed up, we will be inviting new riders on a rolling basis across our initial 60-square-mile service area."
The distinction between float and int diminishes as the number of bits decreases. In the limit of 1 bit, there is no difference.
Also, worth remembering that a float is just two ints, mantissa and exponent, with a lot of juggling.
Once you get to 4 bits, you have 16 possible outcomes. You can then do whatever you want with those outcomes.
NEWS: A U.S. House Committee will hold a hearing on Jan 13th on bills to ease autonomous vehicle deployment without human controls.
Draft proposals under consideration:
• Lift cap to 90,000 per year (up from 2,500) of vehicles that could be deployed without human controls
• Ban states from setting rules on autonomous driving systems
• Require NHTSA to establish guidelines for calibrating advanced driver assistance systems
• Address automaker complaints about barriers to robotaxi deployment
• And more
NEWS: A new $90 million Tesla Megapack battery energy storage system is now operational in Ontario, Canada.
The installed capacity of 80MW/320MWh enables four hours of continuous full-power delivery to the grid and utilizes 89 @Tesla Megapack 2XL units.
"The Sanjgon Battery Energy Storage facility marks a significant step toward a cleaner, more reliable energy future.” said Leela Thomas, Chief of Walpole Island First Nation.
NEWS: Elon Musk’s company @xAI just has officially announced that they’ve raised $20 billion.
“Grok 5 is currently in training, and we are focused on launching innovative new consumer and enterprise products that harness the power of Grok, Colossus, and 𝕏 to transform how we live, work, and play. This financing will accelerate our world-leading infrastructure buildout, enable the rapid development and deployment of transformative AI products reaching billions of users, and fuel groundbreaking research advancing xAI's core mission: Understanding the Universe.”
