MR BEAST: Starlink is literally magic.

“When I filmed in Antarctica, the only way to get any signal was Starlink. When I film in the middle of Malawi or Zimbabwe, or when we go to these countries to build wells or do projects, you can have internet just like you have here. Starlink is literally magic.

You can put a Starlink on top of your car. We had a four-hour drive in the middle of Africa, where there was no service and the roads didn’t exist. We put Starlink on top of the car. Perfect signal. The entire car.”

@BasedMikeLee I have stock in SpaceX and Tesla, not some big pile of cash.

As my companies do more and more useful things, their value increases proportionate to their projected usefulness. All shareholders benefit along the way, including most retirement programs.

WATCH: Affirm's Max Levchin says Elon Musk is "just a normal dude."

Max Levchin, CEO of Affirm and a PayPal co-founder, talked about knowing Elon Musk and the rest of the "PayPal Mafia" in the early days.

"We knew the true version of that person," Levchin said. "The ultra philosophical Peter Thiel, the go all in every time Elon Musk, the these days gubernatorial David Sacks."

He said he saw the real Elon Musk, not the public image. "I've seen him sweaty and tired and grumpy at the company kitchen a thousand times."

His takeaway is simple. These founders are not superhuman. "They're not gods, they're humans," Levchin said. "If that guy who's just a normal dude... he's going for this big of an idea, I should strive too."

Three Grok Build updates in a single day: v1.0.19 → v1.0.20 → v1.0.21

And the latest one keeps polishing the experience......permission modes now stay visible through plan mode, sessions open instantly when you start typing or pasting, and crowded terminal layouts behave properly

The release cadence here is getting ridiculous again

Release Notes: v1.0.21

Bug Fixes:
• Permission mode (auto / always-approve) now stays visible when the agent enters plan mode and is restored on exit.
• Typing, pasting, or pressing Shift+Tab on the welcome screen now immediately opens the session instead of creating a duplicate one.
• Dock sections, queue body, and reveal rows now stay within their documented height rules even on crowded terminals.

東日本大震災後、福島県双葉町で避難指示が解除されてから数年経っても、従来のインターネット環境が復旧しなかったため、Starlinkを導入することにしました。通信速度も非常に速く快適に使えており本当に助かっています。

I had the chance to talk to the head of the Reaction Injection Molding (RIM) Tesla team that developed the process, machines, materials and production line responsible for the Cybercab exterior (and some interior) plastic panels.

What is RIM? Reaction injection molding (RIM) is a manufacturing process that injects two liquid chemicals into a mold to create strong, lightweight plastic parts.

The primary benefits to Tesla? Tesla uses Reaction Injection Molding (RIM) for the Cybercab primarily to eliminate the traditional automotive paint shop, which is historically one of the most expensive, space-consuming, and environmentally taxing parts of car manufacturing. Tesla's goal for mass production is a highly compact, parallel modular assembly system called the "unboxed" process.

By skipping the massive infrastructure of a paint shop, Tesla can reduce the factory footprint by roughly 50%. Since the colored panels come out of the molds nearly complete, they don't have to follow a strict sequential painting order and can be easily bolted on toward the end of assembly, minimizing the risk of factory scratches.

In the Tesla application for Cybercab, the RIM gold exterior body panels have a underlying reinforced plastic inner support panel that is plastic laser welded (& some industrial adhesives) bonded to the outer panel.

When I first saw the early production tests, I noticed there were visible "distortions" where the contact points occurred and this detracted from the overall look of the Cybercab.

The team worked very hard to address this issue and made a number of production process modifications that virtually eliminated this issue and I can say the Cybercabs I saw and rode in at the Launch Event looked exceptionally clean.

Amazing work by the Plastics team to not only develop this process and the machinery and materials used, but to refine the production process to get such an amazing result!
