@ethanteicher Having just (extensively) used Waymo in Austin I much rather prefer it to having a driver. It’s just a better experience. This is a huge step back.

Trad media now covering the alcohol cancer link, a call for warning labels etc. Ahem “I told you so” but moreso, the data are NOT new. Let’s be smart & eliminate the phthalates & BPAs & certain food additives- which we know are endocrine altering/carcinogenic ASAP. Why risk it?

We see Willow as an important step in our journey to build a useful quantum computer with practical applications in areas like drug discovery, fusion energy, battery design + more. Details here: https://t.co/dgPuXOoBSZ

Introducing Willow, our new state-of-the-art quantum computing chip with a breakthrough that can reduce errors exponentially as we scale up using more qubits, cracking a 30-year challenge in the field. In benchmark tests, Willow solved a standard computation in <5 mins that would take a leading supercomputer over 10^25 years, far beyond the age of the universe(!).

@jgebbia Regulators never post-mortem to see if the policy is meeting the goal. We rely solely on the judgment of “what was the original intent and was that a good notion?” And often the result fails to meet the original goal. Or even does the opposite.

I believe the next @MichaelDell, @JeffBezos, or @elonmusk are likely in their high school's maker space or robotics lab. With this in mind, I have been working w/ @UTAustin to help launch an undergraduate robotics program. Applications are open (Fall '25). https://t.co/tvLILUhpqg

Since the 1980s, the amount of carbon emissions from doing your laundry has reduced by a factor of *15*.

Achieving this did not require activists to try to convince you to change your behavior, nor did it trigger any reactionary uproar.

This is the power of innovation (nudged forward by sensible policies).

This is how problems are solved.

NEWS: @snuuzu has unveiled an inflatable hotel style bed for the Tesla Model Y and Model 3.

It's composed of multi-layer mattresses: an organic top, cushiony foam, and the company’s patent-pending surface flattening technology. You can adjust the firmness at the touch of a button.

It costs about $635. Their campaign for the inflatable hotel bed is now live. Estimated start of delivery is December 2024.
