Fairlife chocolate protein shake has one main ingredient. Filtered lowfat milk. Every other item on the list is under 1%.

The 26 grams of protein in the bottle comes from filtered milk, not from anything added. Regular lowfat milk is about 8 grams of protein a cup, so 14 ounces would give you around 14 grams. Ultrafiltration pushes the milk through membranes that hold the protein back and let the water and most of the lactose through, then the plant recombines it with more of the protein fraction. That's how you get to 26 with nothing on the list but milk.

The under 1% group is the taste and the texture. Four sweeteners, monk fruit, stevia, acesulfame potassium and sucralose. Each has its own aftertaste, and stacking them at low levels lets each one cover for the others. Then carrageenan, cellulose gel and cellulose gum, three thickeners that keep the cocoa from settling and give the shake some body.

It's about as clean as a protein shake gets.

Someone asked if I was ready for the fall and it took me a second to realize they meant autumn and not the total collapse of society.

[Joe Lonsdale @JTLonsdale]

Amazing.

Everybody is sleeping on how important this is. For all of us!

For a relatively very small additional cost, we could add in a few dozen stations and get rid of a lot of traffic in Austin, too. This is key for growing business but also the cultural / music scene, etc.

An i35 alternative, with stops along the way for commuters, would be life changing for many

Elon just gave a HUGE The Boring Company update

The Boring Company is now working on a simple precursor Hyperloop tunnel between Austin and San Antonio

Target speed: 200+ MPH

A trip that can currently take up to 2.5 HOURS because of traffic could be cut to a consistent UNDER 30 MINUTES

Austin → San Antonio
2.5 hours → <30 minutes

Dario has written that we need to “pace the frontier,” and Sam has agreed. People may be surprised by my response: go ahead.

You guys are the frontier. By any reasonable metric — market share, revenue growth, model capability — the two of you have a duopoly on frontier intelligence. You’ve also claimed the lead is widening because of recursive self-improvement.

I don’t see what you see in the lab. If the unreleased models are scary enough that you think you should slow down, I support your decision to be responsible.

But stop pretending you need anyone else’s permission. Stop pretending antitrust law has to be suspended so you can form a cartel. Stop pretending you need a regulatory approval process that supersedes product liability. Stop pretending METR is independent when it is intertwined with Anthropic’s investors and staff. Stop pretending you need those same evaluators to police competitors who aren’t even at the frontier.

Most of all, stop pretending the motivation to slow down is purely altruistic. You face massive product-liability exposure if your products enable a truly damaging cyberattack. The market already punishes models that behave in unpredictable or unauthorized ways. After the Hugging Face episode, it is simply good business for OpenAI and Anthropic to trade some raw power for reliability and predictability. Call it alignment if you want. It is also just giving customers what they want.

Pacing the frontier would also create breathing room for a more intelligent conversation about regulation than Bernie Sanders’ “shut it all down.” China is very unlikely to join a global agreement, as you know, and that has to be taken into account as well.

So go ahead and pace the frontier. You are the ones setting it. The easiest way not to build superintelligence is for you to agree not to build it. Demanding your preferred regulatory framework as the price of that will look like blackmail of the public and the political system. So just do it.

If you do, you’ll buy goodwill for the next conversation. If you don’t, we’ll know this was just another bid for regulatory capture — or an election-season psyop.

@davelee Really hope it scales quickly, like reliable 10 minute waits. Earlier this week I had to ride in a boring old model y (lol) because it was 7 minutes away compared to 25 minutes for Cybercab

DVDs are doing WHAT?

[2001 Live @25YearsAgoLive]

DVDs edging tapes!

Blockbuster announces that it is moving away from videocassettes to make room for more profitable DVDs.

I went outside the Silo and there was a film set. Then I died.

Kinda crazy Robotaxi isn’t on highways yet.

FSD drove ~25 minutes perfectly from south to north Austin mainly on mopac.

47 minute ride back in a Robotaxi and my destination was just outside the geofence😒

So I ubered the last couple miles and I’d order a Robotaxi every time😂

This is the first time in Earth’s history that the path is visible: cure cancer, slash traffic deaths, give anyone high agency no matter their body — and reach the stars — by scaling compute and energy.

Don’t squander it.

[Branden Flasch @brandenflasch]

So many people dismissing this due to higher speeds - welcome to the real world. You shouldn't have to adjust your driving for an EV. Hell, with 80mph speed limits I was going 0-5 over.
