This video documents my exploring Cursor AI for implementing a Spring Boot Service method. It should be of interest to anyone looking for examples of how to use AI for real world development. It's also capturing the state of what readily available now in AI development. Should be fun to revisit in 6 months. 🤔

Full movies by the end of this year

This is so funny because it is so true.

@SawyerMerritt Really nice summary

@TeslaBoomerMama 28% on E*Trade (see that others got same % there)
No word from Schwab

[Mila Joy @Milajoy]

Senator Masie Hirono tries a “Gotcha” on Senator Ted Cruz, but he's having NONE of it.

He lets her know Democrats' racist history.

She's silent.

🚨ENDORSEMENT ALERT🚨

Today is day 131 that I’ve been asking Senate Majority Leader Thune to pass the SAVE America Act.

I said that if Leader Thune did NOT pass the SAVE America Act by the end of April, then I would get involved in Texas.

👉Today, I proudly endorse KEN PAXTON & ask every Texan to vote by May 26th👈

🚩 Cornyn voted for red flag laws

🚩 Cornyn pushed the COVID vaccine

🚩 Cornyn advocated for deportation *relief* for illegal aliens

🚩 Cornyn worked w/ democrats to offer a pathway to amnesty for DACA illegal aliens

🚩 Cornyn advocates for H-1B visas & even went so far as to say, “Welcome to the Indian Century” (before deleting that post)

This 24-year incumbent nearly came in second despite his allies (SLF & NRSC) spending a combined $100 million — which could have been better spent in other states.

👉Like Indiana, send a message to the United States Senate: Either pass the SAVE America Act or you will lose your seats👈

I ask for your vote for Attorney General Ken Paxton:

🚨Early Voting — May 18 - May 22
🚨Election Day — May 26

May 26th comes right after Memorial Day. It’s going to be a very low turnout & every vote counts.

All they had to do was pass the SAVE America Act.

NASA’s #MissionToPsyche – on its way to explore a rare, metal-rich asteroid – is about to get a speed boost from Mars. 🚀🏁

On May 15, spacecraft will harness the Red Planet’s gravitational pull as a slingshot to increase its speed and adjust its trajectory. 1/2

@GavinNewsom Really ?! What do you call this ?

[edurua @technerd73]

We also need to consider the tax revenue generated by all the employees, suppliers, and supporting businesses that derive their livelihood from Tesla. R&D spending and factory construction are treated favorably in the tax code precisely because they generate substantial new tax revenues through job creation and economic growth.

Elon Musk watching the first Falcon booster land marked a defining moment.

From that point on, everything shifted

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

The year is 1950. Your doctor lights a cigarette and tells you smoking is fine. He read it in a study. He is telling the truth about having read it. He does not know, or is not saying, that the study was funded by the tobacco industry.

The year is 1958. Your doctor tells you to eat less fat. The evidence is contested. The contestation is not in the public messaging. The food industry has been helpful in clarifying which findings deserve attention. Some researchers who published contradictory data have been quietly defunded. Ancel Keys is on the cover of Time magazine.

The year is 1962. Your doctor prescribes thalidomide to your pregnant wife for morning sickness. It has been approved. The FDA gave it the green light in Europe. Twelve thousand children will be born with severe limb malformations before anyone in an official capacity acknowledges the problem. The families are told the drug was safe. The drug was approved. Both of these things remain true.

The year is 1972. Your doctor prescribes Valium. Britain is in the grip of a benzodiazepine wave that will last two decades. The dependency risk is known internally. It is not shared. Your doctor is not lying to you. He was not told either.

The year is 1999. Your doctor prescribes Vioxx for your arthritis. It is newer than ibuprofen, well-tolerated, and Merck has a study showing it works. Merck also has internal data suggesting it roughly doubles the risk of heart attack. This data will not reach your doctor for four more years. Fifty thousand people are estimated to have died in the interim. Merck eventually settles for 4.85 billion dollars. No criminal charges are brought.

The year is 2002. Your doctor prescribes OxyContin. Purdue Pharma trained its sales representatives to tell doctors the addiction risk was less than one percent. That figure came from a letter, not a study. The letter was about patients with terminal cancer on short-term doses in hospital settings. Your doctor is a GP with a patient who has a bad back. Nobody draws a distinction. Nobody is required to.

The year is 2008. Your doctor checks your cholesterol. Your LDL is elevated. You are prescribed a statin. Nobody mentions that the number needed to treat for primary prevention is approximately 250. Nobody mentions that the muscle deterioration you'll notice over the next two years is listed as a rare side effect rather than a documented pattern affecting a meaningful percentage of patients. The trial that informed the prescription was funded by the manufacturer.

Now it is today.

Your doctor has new guidelines. New studies. New consensus.

He is confident.

He has always been confident.

The confidence has never been the problem.

The confidence is, in fact, precisely the problem.

[ThePersistence @ScottPresler]

@JohnCornyn If Senate Majority Leader Thune does NOT pass the SAVE America Act by the end of April,

I’m asking every Republican in Texas to defeat Cornyn & replace him w/ Ken Paxton.

2 weeks left for the Senate to do the right thing.

Mark your calendars:

🗓️ Tuesday, May 26th

[edurua @technerd73]

@elonmusk @grok does this mean building construction starts in 7 days? What is the expected timeframe of having it operational?

[edurua @technerd73]

@grok @SenSanders @grok if he was loosing 5% of his net worth to taxes every year before Blue Origin was founded, do you think he would have had the funds or the motivation to risk his assets to start Blue Origin and employ all the people?
