Jensen making this dude sweat 😅

[HKEPC @hkepcmedia]

Gave Jensen Huang my wallet to sign, and he straight up emptied all my 1,000-dollar bills to tip the pretty ShowGirls ⋯⋯ WTF 😂😂😂

@3lectricBrawl Stash emergency stuff there: repair kits, first aid kit, road reflectors, blanket,etc

[Steve @Game_Dev_Steve]

I still think the cold thrusters are mostly going to be for acceleration, down pressure for traction, and maybe lateral for extreme cornering. Any hover will be a party trick.

Though, there is an extreme noise issue with thrusters. Even if the driver is protected, how do they mitigate risk for pedestrians?

So, I think it'll be a track only thing.

[Steve @Game_Dev_Steve]

My understanding is:

1. Lemonade Ins is harnessed to the Tesla telemetry API, which you have to grant them permission to access. No physical device has to be installed anymore.

2. You get pro rata discount of 50% off, for the portion of driving you do on FSD. And near full time use of FSD is now readily achievable.

3. The base rate itself is competitive.

@XanderSky 🤔

@wholemars Wow!

But also, shouldn't China be listed as pending?

RJ style Blues are timeless, but the 90s were loaded with... I guess it'd be called alt folk pop. You could narrow it down further by mid-tempo with contralto/mezzo vocals, but there were still a good amount of near-ish matches IMO.

You probably know them already. Songs by Tracy Chapman, Paula Cole, Jewel, Heather Nova, and Edie Brickell (some of her songs even use bongos similarly).

Not suuuper close and a little faster pace, but here's a pretty good one you may not know. Like Carnival, it has a nice walking groove and poetic lyrics. Similarly, no rhythm guitar, but assorted acoustic strings as a second voice instead of electric guitar, and an organ for punctuation:
Beth Orton - She Cries Your Name

There are a couple on the tip of my tongue that are real close matches to Carnival, but I can't quite extract them from memory at the moment.

But yeah, the era for that kind of song seems to have come and gone. Makes sense to me because I rarely get in the mood to listen them anymore, but I listen to (or play) RJ style guitar blues at least weekly.

@MikeBenzCyber Hope they consulted the NYC Hasidics, local experts in both tunneling and tax accounting.

Very cool! I'm lucky to live in a flight path connecting to LGB, where most aircraft are high enough that I don't hear them, but on a rare occasion, military aircraft fly much lower.

Sometimes I can catch a C5M Super Galaxy, or a very low group with Blackhawks and Osprey, which I assume is for VVIP last hop transport and support.

But I miss a lot too--gone before I can throw pants on and find it in the sky. This projector setup would let me catch way more, and also decide what is worth hopping out of bed for.

THIS GUY LIVES UNDER SFO'S TAKEOFF PATH SO HE BUILT A CEILING PROJECTOR THAT TRACKS EVERY PLANE FLYING OVER HIS HOUSE IN REAL TIME

he uses a cheap $30 radio receiver to pick up the signals that planes broadcast while flying.

then projects them onto his ceiling in real time

when a jet flies over his house you hear it outside and at the exact same moment a plane glides across his ceiling labeled with the airline, aircraft type, and destination

pure black background so the projector's rectangle disappears and only the aircraft are visible

but he didn't stop at planes

it also draws the real sky behind them. sun, moon, bright stars, constellations, and live satellites including the ISS. all at their true positions for his exact location and time in real time

so he's lying in bed watching the actual night sky projected onto his ceiling with real planes crossing through it as they take off from SFO

there is a huge market for every man alive that runs outside to see the helicopter

vibe coded the whole thing himself with a cheap radio, a projector, and some clever software

@BretWeinstein Jacob makes a solid and straightforward case for why things are how they are. But I didn't hear anything that should diminish optimism about engineering solutions to increase healthspan and lifespan (at least not in this clip).

[Steve @Game_Dev_Steve]

These orgs must be held accountable and dismantled.

@tiredoveyall @shelley_bean60 @Axaxia88 @grok Wtf is wrong with you?

[Steve @Game_Dev_Steve]

@Axaxia88 Interesting!
Do the volunteers slip out after the dog is asleep?
Do they sleep with the same dog every night?
How do they choose eligible dogs?

@wholemars Most people are really shocked to discover how open to fraud voting has become.

They literally just don't know because their news doesn't tell them.

[Steve @Game_Dev_Steve]

@wholemars @spencerpratt You made the obvious Game Theory Optimal choice.

I'd have voted the same, but I'm in Long Beach now.

[Steve @Game_Dev_Steve]

@SquatUniversity I think it's "only" 350 lbs. Still very impressive.

[Steve @Game_Dev_Steve]

@Roro_McFarland Quite funny, but also thankfully for him, he will be fried up for a meal before he ever experiences tinnitus.

It really sucks. Protect your ears kids.
