Sky full of stars.
Following a successful lunar flyby, the Artemis II astronauts captured this breathtaking photo of our galaxy, the Milky Way, on April 7, 2026.
We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.
$1 billion for Speedtest and Downdetector ???
speedtest just pings a server and downdetector checks site outages.
both can literally be one-shotted by Claude Code in just 5 minutes
If had the ear @JDVance@realDonaldTrump@DonaldJTrumpJr@GovRonDeSantis@LeaderJohnThune, I would ask them to take a trillion dollars (since trillions just get thrown around like millions now) and bypass all the protests and regulations and dot the whole country with small nuclear reactors, while also building a brand-new, state-of-the-art grid for everyone. Do this as soon as possible and secure it all from attack with the latest physical and cybersecurity; maybe even create a special Nuclear Defense Force that protects each facility, funded federally.
This is the only hope of getting enough power to keep up with China, and it is the only hope we have as a country to grow enough to ultimately pay off our debt and guarantee long-term security, by not letting power be a limiting factor on our innovation.
Dave Filoni & Lynwen Brennan will reportedly replace Kathleen Kennedy as the new Co-Presidents of Lucasfilm.
Brennan is getting promoted from General Manager and will oversee executive duties, while Filoni will lead all creative development.

Ultimately streaming services are doomed to the same fate of cable TV. Handful of giants will buy up the competition, re-bundle everything, and people will end up paying more for less all over again.
Disney CEO Bob Iger says Netflix’s Warner Bros. deal may give the streamer “pricing leverage” that “might not necessarily be healthy” for consumers:
“Will one company end up with pricing leverage that might be considered a negative or damaging to the consumer? And with a significant amount of streaming subscriptions across the world, really, does that ultimately give Netflix pricing leverage over the consumer that it might not necessarily be healthy?”

BREAKING: OpenAI is requesting financial support from the US government for its expansion, per Bloomberg.
OpenAI wants taxpayers to guarantee its debt. They’re asking the government to guarantee loans (like a co-signer).
When private companies start asking for public funds, it’s a sign the bubble will soon pop.
PewDiePie in 2025:
– built a 10×4090 rig
– runs Llama 70B, gpt-oss-120B & Qwen 245B locally via vLLM
– built a custom web UI (chat, RAG, search, TTS)
– ran protein-folding simulations for charity
– created an AI “council”, a swarm of 64 models
– now fine-tuning his own model
Open-source AI for the win!
Blatant fraud is happening in public, and nobody is held responsible. The SEC was founded so that non-insider investors don't get unfairly beaten in the markets. What makes crypto different to prevent the same issues? This is the main thing holding crypto back imho
The HyperLiquid whale shorting BTC/ETH yesterday was placing shorts up till exactly 1 minute before Trump threatened tariffs against China.
The last short was placed at 20:49 GMT. Trump tweeted at 20:50 GMT.
What incredible "luck"
This is the worst it will ever be:
“Gen Z isn't paranoid, they're pattern-matching,” Michael Ryan, a finance expert and the founder of MichaelRyanMoney. com, told Newsweek. “They've watched every entry level rung on the career ladder get systematically removed. The spreadsheet analysis jobs? Automated. The junior research roles? Gone. The financial modeling grunt work that used to be the apprenticeship for future CFOs? Now it's a ChatGPT prompt.”
When people criticize wrapper software they mean the value add is minimal.
When the value add is minimal, competitive forces will mean that it will eventually become a commodity.
When future commodities are priced for future cash flows that are very much not a commodity, you have a bubble.

Here’s @christinaahuang to walk you through it:
Built a Wikipedia Link Explorer: paste a page URL and watch it branch into all its referenced links. Click any node to expand further. Built with GPT-5.
Watched an interview with Casey Neistat today, who talked about how all the teenagers take selfies on point-and-shoot cameras instead of smartphones now.
iPhone photos have gotten too perfect. The automatic photo editing software has gotten so good that photos have been stripped of personality. By contrast, point-and-shoot cameras produce messier photos, but that makes them distinctive, and people like that.
This is a microcosm of what's going to be a big trend over the next decade: the rebellion against sterile "perfection."
