@XHabib The best of Tesla and Range Rover with 500+km range during winters would be the highest selling luxury car of all time for a long time.

I struggle to believe @elonmusk approved the removal of this safety feature in new @Tesla models, which came standard in older models. I always believed in his philosophy to build better things to drive revenue.

With a $99 per month FSD subscription, your new
@Tesla is unmatched. Unfortunately, without FSD, there's no lane centering -- an important safety feature that comes for free on less expensive versions of Toyota Corolla, Kia K4 and Hyundai Elantra.

@rupasubramanya If I remember correctly, the term was removed following the release of an initial report in 2018 due to political pressure. Here’s the updatedl report.

something i've noticed: AI agents create a weird new kind of burnout. esp for young people.

a lot of ambitious 22 year olds are going to think the answer is simple:
- spin up more agents
- ship more code
- sleep less
- outwork everyone

and for a while, it will feel incredible.
you can keep multiple agents running, feed them tasks, review outputs, fix mistakes, make decisions, and keep the whole loop moving.

the problem is that the work no longer drains you through typing. it drains you through judgment.
More attention.
More context switching.
More verification.
More decisions per hour.

so instead of 8-10 normal productive hours, you might get 4-5 extremely intense hours before your brain is fully cooked. and you feel numb until you sleep properly and reset

some of my friends are already burnt out. they don't say it out loud but i can tell.

the agent can keep working 24/7.
the human still has a hard limit

"Using coding agents well is taking every inch of my 25 years of experience as a software engineer, and it is mentally exhausting.

I can fire up four agents in parallel and have them work on four different problems, and by 11am I am wiped out for the day.

There is a limit on human cognition. Even if you're not reviewing everything they're doing, how much you can hold in your head at one time. There's a sort of personal skill that we have to learn, which is finding our new limits. What is a responsible way for us to not burn out, and for us to use the time that we have?" @simonw

@globeandmail Rather than a cap of 50,000 EVs, unlimited sales of cars produced at a local manufacturing facility employing Canadians would've been better.

I prompted AI (I think @Copilot) to polish my draft message and it rewrote the entire thing in Polish.

@JLR_News and @Tesla should experiment with a limited edition @RangeRover electric SUV. Merge Tesla's world class software experience with Range Rover's smooth ride and commanding driver experience. If it succeeds, win-win for both.

I wrote about Elon Musk's "corporate terrorism" comment on ISS/GL and a thought leadership piece on why ExxonMobil's Retail Voting Program is the right way forward to counter balance their influence.

Why Has Brampton Ontario Become A Foreclosure / Power Of Sale Hot Spot?

It's a 2 part answer

Brampton embraced the 2022 - 2024 Student Housing Boom

A 600% increase in Foreign Students is both an opportunity & a danger

Nearly half of all the Students came to Ontario

The real moats in 2025: specific workflows, proprietary data with real switching costs, distribution, and UX that makes AI disappear into the job-to-be-done.

Simultaneously: we are early (only a % are using AI properly) so this is an amazing time to start a startup.

@fordnation Municipalities clearly prioritized cash grab over accident reduction when implementing speed cameras. This is a good decision.
