Sailing, cycling and backpacking for fun; software engineering for work (but also fun).

@elonmusk Finding the DOGE homepage you mentioned yesterday seems to be super difficult. Perhaps that should be added to https://t.co/94bIrPtI7I and more effort directed into it's SEO.

Imagine a large prehistoric lizard with 4 chambered stomachs like a cow. Methane from chambers 3 and 4 feed into lung like holding bladders that vent from pits beneath the tongue. In a panic or as defensive attack the methane sacks contract, the mouth opens and a membrane much like the skin of an electric eel sparks as the gas exits and allows a lizard to breathe fire biologically. No magic.. just nature...

SpaceX engineers are trying to deliver Starlink terminals & supplies to devastated areas in North Carolina right now and @FEMA is both failing to help AND won’t let others help. This is unconscionable!!

They just took this video a few hours ago, where you can see the level of devastation: roads, houses, electricity, water supply and ground Internet connections completely destroyed.

@FEMA wouldn’t let them land to deliver critical supplies … my blood is boiling …

We're having a massive moment with Tesla's FSD progress right now, yet so few people have any idea that it's even happening.

• FSD 12 was a huge step change forward
• 1.8 million Teslas got a free 30 day FSD trial
• Tesla's fleet is now doing 1 billion FSD miles every 2-3 months (vs 1 billion every 3 years)
• FSD (Supervised) v12.4 will get rid of the steering wheel nag (coming in 1-2 weeks)
• Tesla is finally no longer compute constrained, allowing them to improve FSD MUCH quicker. The company's compute capacity will increase at least 6x this year.
• Preliminary approval to launch FSD (Supervised) in China.
• Swedish Transport Administration Advisor praises Tesla's FSD "smoothness and natural driving" after being given a test ride on German roads 2 weeks ago.

Buckle up. These are exciting times.

Absolutely true!

“The evidence is overwhelming that the majority of people on the street are there because of untreated mental illness or addiction, which leads people to use all their money to support their drug habit and be high, rather than work.”

Whoa, I just realized that raising a kid is basically 18 years of prompt engineering 🤯
