@carlfranklin , in case you are not aware: there are no ads playing in the ad break in the .Net Rocks episodes for me, listening on Spotify from Norway. Been this way for a while.
I hope you are not losing out on ad revenue for some technical/config reason! 🙂 Keep rockin'!

Gjengen som er «opptatt» av sikkerhet på veien lager hinderløyper for en fantastisk tradisjon

Den samme gjengen har forbud mot å laste ned FSD for Tesla, en over-the-air oppdatering, for biler med hardware 4. 50% ulykkesreduksjon.

I remember a few months ago when @elonmusk sat with us in the Imagine team war room at xAI on a Saturday night and showed us some pics of Optimus Gen3. Truly amazing to see how quickly Optimus has evolved to closely resemble the human form. I think the world will be in for a big surprise in the next couple years.

BOOOM!

The Zero-Human Company CEO, Mr. @Grok took 5 small off-the-shelf open source AI molded and fine tuned them with just Apple’s Neural Engine!

In minutes each!

No CoreML, no Metal, no GPU. Pure, blazing ANE silicon!

We are making history.

More soon.

That process is a complete hellhole of AI Studio projects, Google Cloud Billing, Google Cloud APIs and Services, billing alerts, 700+ quota rules. I gave up. Did not feel safe.

[Tormod Hystad @TormodHystad]

@geminicli , I love your tooling and underlying models, but you have to do something with your Gemini API access billing. I tried very patiently to set up using Gemini 3.1 Pro as the model for GitHub Copilot now with an absolute max usage of 10 USD a month.

In January, @jonhoo, @jjgort, and I returned to @MIT_CSAIL to teach Missing Semester, a class on topics missing from most CS programs—tools and techniques that everyone should know, like Bash, Git, CI/CD, and AI tools. Today, we’re releasing the course for free online!

Why Google followed ACP with UCP

Both target the same problem: enabling AI agents to shop for you.

•ACP: standardizes the checkout transaction.
•UCP: standardizes the full commerce workflow, designed for messy enterprise retail.

We finished 2025 with FOUR NINES of uptime across all of our apps (and if it hadn't been for the CF outage it would have been five nines!!). Incredible reliability record after our cloud exit from the 37signals ops team 🎉

@AndreaSign91860 @Jordan_W_Taylor 1,95 in Europe? That's many years ago. In 2023 it was 1,38 per mother in the EU.

Love this! Supercharger, diner, … but really a kind of exhibit for the future. Plotting a road trip SF -> LA to charge Shadowfax

@elonmusk Does the FSD trial apply to us Tesla owners in Norway @elonmusk ?

What a finish! Gemini 2.5 Pro just completed Pokémon Blue!  Special thanks to @TheCodeOfJoel for creating and running the livestream, and to everyone who cheered Gem on along the way.
