Elon is basically my business partner now.

We own Tesla and SpaceX together.

But I make him do all the hard work.

That Stanford CS graduating class of 2026 just hit the job market

394 total graduates. 23 have full-time offers. Twenty-fucking-three.

The rest? 127 are doing unpaid "AI apprenticeships" at startups that promise equity. 89 pivoted to product management bootcamps they're paying for with credit cards. 52 are substitute teaching while "building their portfolio."

The remaining 103 are driving DoorDash, bartending, or back home with their parents applying to customer support roles that require CS degrees

Career services is telling them it's a "market adjustment" and to "stay positive"

Same week Stanford reported a $43.7 billion endowment increase

Two years ago this exact program had a 94% placement rate by graduation. Starting salaries averaged $185k.

This year the 23 lucky ones? Average offer is $78k. At companies that didn't exist 18 months ago. Building "AI-native workflows" with teams of 4 people doing what used to take 30.

The professors are still teaching advanced algorithms to kids who'll never write a sorting function

While recruiters scroll LinkedIn looking for "AI prompt engineers with 5+ years experience"

One kid told me his database systems professor just got replaced by a chatbot that grades assignments faster

The irony is suffocating

[The Figen @TheFigen_]

Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada spoke about the contradictions of human nature:

“Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don't appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.”

The key to happiness is gratitude: truly seeing and appreciating what we already have, and understanding that somewhere, someone would give anything for what we take for granted.

Tesla will be one of the companies to make AGI and probably the first to make it in humanoid/atom-shaping form

I have a working theory about Cybercab production and Austin vs Bay Area fleet expansion.

Tesla has been adding tens of vehicles every week to the Bay Area per the Robotaxi tracker. Last week they added 23 vehicles versus the Austin Texas fleet, which has seen only a small trickle as they test unsupervised.

The theory is they are testing the hell out of FSD for Robotaxi in the Bay Area in order to get all the data they need to apply for permits in the next few months.

In Austin I think Tesla is really waiting for Cybercab production. I don’t think they want to expand the fleet size with Model Y’s only to replace them with Cybercabs a month later. I think Austin will increase unsupervised vehicles significantly in April and May and they will be Cybercabs!

Starlink in-flight wifi review: "Speeds have not been exaggerated. The system’s antenna is small and light with no moving parts and it requires no onboard server. It can be outfitted during an overnight stop. One thing is clear: this will rapidly become a competitive necessity."

[Camus @newstart_2024]

Shi Heng Yi (Shaolin master) delivers a razor-sharp wake-up call:

"As long as your body is healthy, you have thousands of problems.
But the moment your body gets sick, you have ONE problem."

Everything else—goals, drama, worries—collapses into irrelevance when health fails. The mind invents endless distractions while the body is strong, but illness instantly reduces life to a single priority: healing.

His message is clear and urgent:
Respect, care for, nourish, and love your body first.
It’s the most precious thing you have right now.
Without it, nothing else matters.

Health isn’t a side quest—it’s the foundation.
Ignore it at your peril.

What’s one small daily habit you’re doing (or starting) to protect this irreplaceable asset?

I believe when Warsh takes over in a few months, he'll immediately cut Fed Funds rate due to persistently low inflation + very strong AI-driven GDP/economy growth.

Capital will aggressively flow back into AI-driven stocks and space industry stocks

Based on my research, more than 5,700 commercial aircraft either already have SpaceX’s @Starlink installed or are under contract to receive it. That would account for ~19% of the active global commercial aircraft fleet when all installs are completed.

SpaceX has already gotten two of the top four largest U.S. airlines to adopt Starlink (United and Southwest).

List of airlines/operators that have publicly announced Starlink internet adoption for their fleet:
• Southwest Airlines
• United Airlines
• British Airways
• Emirates
• Qatar Airlines
• Air France
• Hawaiian Airlines
• Alaska Airlines
• Virgin Atlantic
• Lufthansa
• Korean air
• Air Baltic
• Aer Lingus
• Air Busan
• Air Dolomiti
• Air New Zealand
• Air Seoul
• Asiana Airlines
• Austrian Airlines
• Swiss Airlines
• Scandinavian Airlines
• Gulf Air
• Iberia
• Discover Airlines
• flydubai
• ITA Airways
• Vueling
• Brussels Airlines
• Jin Air
• LEVEL
• WestJet
• Edelweiss Air
• JSX
• ZipAir
• Eurowings

And all this doesn't even include business jets. More than 1,000 business jets are currently equipped with Starlink, representing more than 50% of all active tails. Starlink's aviation division is and will no doubt continue to see massive growth.

NEWS: ZIPAIR Tokyo today operated Asia’s first commercial passenger flight equipped with SpaceX’s @Starlink satellite internet service. The plane flew from Tokyo to South Korea.

Starlink installations will be completed across ZIPAIR’s Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet by spring 2026.

This is exactly why you don't force kids into sports.

Alysa Liu's entire life was dedicated to skating.

Not by choice, but because her father demanded it.

She won the US Championship at 13, but announced her retirement at 16.

She threw her skates in the closet and decided to experience the world.

She hiked to Everest base camp, got her driver's license and studied at UCLA.

After a ski trip in 2024, she had the itch to lace them up again and nailed a double axel.

She announced her comeback, but only on her terms.

She wouldn't allow her father (or anyone) to tell her what to eat, when to train or how to dress.

The result was athletic and creative liberation.

Despite the hiatus, Alysa entered Milan as the favorite to win gold and delivered on the hype.
