Dear US government,

Since you've just blocked Fable and Mythos on critical national security grounds, here are some other tools that pose a similar threat to the American people:

- Microsoft Teams
- SAP
- Salesforce
- Jira
- Outlook

Please do what you must to save America 🇺🇸

@alonsofred_3D That's one narrow pitlane 🤪

[Scott McLaughlin @smclaughlin93]

Team Penske asked me what car do I want to throw back to… I said the 09 Indy Winner. Reason, it was the first full 500 I watched at 1am in the morning down under. I watched this race due to @scottdixon9 winning the previous year and meeting him in Auckland when I came home. What a story it was for @h3lio. I wanted it to be the proper day glo colours, everything perfect, they killed it. As Gil De Ferran said “I’m proud to wear this uniform because I’m aware of the people who have worn it before me.”

See ya in STL. 👊

I've got an agent in a loop optimizing a renderer with the goal to minimize frame times (and tests to measure). It got times down from 88ms to 2ms and allocations down from ~150K to 500. Sounds good, right? Wrong. This is exactly why agent psychosis is a big fucking problem.

As an experiment, I rewrote the Ghostty core render state in Go, with access to identically laid out data structures as Ghostty and the exact same validation tests. I made a purposely naive renderer (simple, correct, but slow). 88ms per frame with 150,000 allocations (horrendous, lol)!

I then kickstarted a Ralph loop to bring the frame times down. I told it it can't modify input data structures or the public API or tests (they're correct), but it can do anything else it wants. It got to work.

It has worked for about 4 hours. I've spent around $350 on this experiment so far. The results?

88ms => 1.5ms
150K allocs => ~500 allocs

Incredible right? Nope.

My hand-written renderer I ported has frame times (same benchmark) of ~20us (0.020ms) and 0 allocations in the update path.

This is the problem with psychosis and lacking systems understanding. If you don't understand the system, you're going to accept that this is an incredible result. If you understand the system, you'll see better solutions immediately and can do roughly 75x better on throughput.

The people who blindly trust agent output are in the former camp. They're sheeple, overdrinking from a fountain of mediocrity.

Standard disclaimer: I use AI all the time. I like AI. The point I'm making is to not blindly accept results. Think. Analyze. Learn.

Kyle and I had a really challenging existence for many years. But we luckily took the time to figure out our differences and that was something he instigated with a conversation in his bus around how we each managed our racing teams. I was super eager for us to get on better terms. But it was he who made the effort for that to be possible. We did some media together also to laugh through some of the things we put each other through many years ago. Most recently we had even been discussing him running my Late Model at Wilkesboro this summer. He seemed extremely happy and we had planned to meet up next Thursday to get his seat to the shop. He laughed over the idea of his fans and JRM fans having to cheer in unison during that race.

Kyle was one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history. No one can deny that. But he was also a father, a husband, brother, son, and a friend to many. My heart is broken for the Busch family. I will never be able to make sense of this loss but I am thankful that we had found a way to become friends.

[Steven Taranto @STaranto92]

Couple things I want to put out here:

>Just starting both the Indy 500 and Coke 600 is a big deal. Finishing both races is a massive accomplishment. It is incredibly rare that someone finishes all the laps in both races (Tony Stewart in 2001 is the only one to pull it off) and while that'd be remarkable it shouldn't be the expectation

>However it goes I think it's cool to have another driver doing The Double so soon after Kyle Larson did it. I think it's especially compelling to have a woman driver doing it given the history of women racers at Indy in particular and I hope that industry especially pays attention.

>Katherine Legge had two Top 20 finishes in Cup a year ago and has been running at the finish in all but one of her eight Cup starts. Can we stop acting like she's chopped liver in stock cars?

>Looking extremely forward to getting to cover this in-person on the Charlotte end
