When life is unplanned and random the best things happen, just go with the flow and it will always work out

[Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. @hubermanlab]

I’ve written to Steven several times asking him why if he’s so smart about dopamine that he ignores the data showing peripheral and central dopamine can rise in parallel. We definitely need more data on that.
I’ve also asked him why the lead author on the dopamine paper that he parades around (his last real publication was 2005) contradicts his very conclusions. I’ve invited him on the podcast, but he’d rather throw darts at people like @SahilBloom who’s actually out there doing great things and helping people with his book and inspiring people. I do hope Steven will have a public conversation with me about dopamine at some point because he’s also put similar arguments against my colleague Anna Lembke’s dopamine dynamics statements and ignored the counter evidence. Great to be scholarly and academic, but that means actually having a conversation where counter points to the counterpoints can be raised.

It really is this simple

you can be disappointed with the final season, but we are not doing this with homelander lmfao

Thank you. The important part is zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. Best way to put money in someone’s pocket is to not take it out in the first place. Bottom half is only 3% of total tax revenue. But it’s very meaningful to that person. Zero it out.

After nearly 18 years I can stop working on Model S and X. We put so much love into these products, but will continue to pour that into the future products. Thanks to everyone who believed in and supported these cars through the years. We strived for the best and will never stop. Saying goodbye to something great and making room for something even greater!

New Hampshire currently has ten data centers. Two in Bedford, three in Manchester, and one in Lebanon, Keene, Portsmouth, Salem, and Laconia.

They’ve been here for years.

You didn’t notice them, because they don’t impact your life in any way.

Stop falling for propaganda.

The human-perceived RGB is image 1 and the Tesla AI photon count reconstruction is image 2.

This is why Tesla FSD can see so well at night or through extreme glare.

[Claude @claudeai]

We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity.

This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.

🚨 President Trump just dropped this gem!

Trump saved America $298 MILLION on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool:

The historic pool, where MLK gave his “I Have a Dream” speech, was a leaking, filthy disaster.

Government bureaucrats wanted $300 MILLION and 3+ years to rip it up.

Trump said hell no.

Called in real pool experts, scrubbed the original granite, sealed it, and topped it with American Flag Blue industrial coating.

✅ $1.5–2 MILLION
✅ Done in 2 weeks
✅ Will last 40–50 years and look better than 1922

This is how you run government like a business.

Promises kept! Taxpayer dollars saved!

Project Hail Mary writer Andy Weir on social commentary in books:

"I dislike social commentary. Like… I really hate it. When I’m reading a book, I just want to be entertained, not preached at by the author. Plus, it ruins the wonder of the story if I know the author has a political or social axe to grind. I no longer speculate about all possible outcomes of the story because I know for a fact that the universe of that book will conspire to ensure that the author’s political agenda is validated. I hate that."

"I put no politics or social commentary into my stories at all. Anyone who thinks they see something like that is reading it in on their own. I have no point to make, and I’m not trying to affect the reader’s opinion on anything. My sole job is to entertain, and I stick to that."

"To that end, I also don’t talk about my personal political opinions publicly. I don’t want readers to even know, honestly. I don’t want that in the back of their minds as they read my stuff."

Is this why he has the #1 sci-fi movie in decades?

[Overly Trev @OverlyTrev]

This is not HD mapping; it’s ground truth validation using lidar to make sure the cameras are accurately calibrated to what they are seeing. Cybercab is a new vehicle, so it needs to be fully calibrated to its position in the environment.

You really should make sure you know what you’re talking about before you post nonsense like this so you don’t confuse people.

Tesla does not use HD mapping and never has.

logically i know Max Greenfield is going to be playing a new character but i really really want to see Schmidt in the White Lotus

The world's first bar dedicated to monitoring the situation. 🧵

Everyone misses RJ but Dan Dunleavy is spectacular and we are lucky to have him.
