Michelle and I are heartbroken by the tragic passing of Rob Reiner and his beloved wife, Michele. Rob’s achievements in film and television gave us some of our most cherished stories on screen. But beneath all of the stories he produced was a deep belief in the goodness of people—and a lifelong commitment to putting that belief into action. Together, he and his wife lived lives defined by purpose. They will be remembered for the values they championed and the countless people they inspired. We send our deepest condolences to all who loved them.
A 17-year-old just built a mind-controlled prosthetic arm for $300.
Yes, $300.
For something that usually costs $450,000.
Let that hit you.
A teenager, working from home, used AI, cheap materials, and 23,000 lines of code to build a device that reads brain signals without surgery, without implants, and without a $450K price tag.
This is not a feel-good story.
It’s a warning shot.
How can a high school student build something 1,500× cheaper than the industry standard?
What does that say about innovation?
About pricing?
About who gets access to life-changing technology?
Of course, medical prosthetics are expensive for real reasons:
materials, testing, regulation, customization.
But let’s be honest — not all of that justifies a half-million-dollar price.
This story exposes a simple truth:
The future of accessibility won’t come from the system.
It will come from the outsiders who dare to challenge it.
If a 17-year-old can match top-tier prosthetics for a fraction of the cost…
why aren’t these solutions available to the millions who need them?
What do you think — breakthrough moment or the start of a bigger revolution?

Most couples don’t fight because of money.
They fight because money touches everything else. Power, trust, control, stress.
I have spent the past 3 years researching this.
Let’s talk about why couples + money is so hard (and why nobody teaches us how to deal with it): 🧵🧵🧵
ive spent a lot of time on this. best analog i can give is weight loss / calorie counting apps.
if you ask people if they want to be better with their money the answer will be "yes, of course." Same as if you ask them if they want to be healthier, skinnier, etc.
The problem is that the experience of budgeting, like calorire counting, sucks. And when you do something you shouldn't you either don't log it, or dont log in.
the viable solution isn't an OS for Money, its ozempic for personal finance.
