This wasn’t on my bingo card, i felt a sense of wow… i have not felt that in a long time.

Tesla's new Roadster hung almost upside down 65 feet off the ground, let go, and caught itself before it landed. The only thing it used to stop the fall was air.

Without the thrusters, that's a bad two seconds. From 65 feet, about six stories, a car hits the pavement doing roughly 44 mph. Nobody was inside. Elon said the car drove itself for the demo "to make sure we don't kill anyone."

Watch the readout in the bottom left as it drops. It jumps to 3.1 G at 31 feet as the thrusters fire, which is about how hard you get pressed into your seat at the bottom of a big roller coaster drop. While that's happening, attitude thrusters roll the car right side up and thrusters at the corners fire straight down to set it on its wheels.

The tanks hold about 250 kg of ordinary air, crammed into two carbon-wrapped pressure vessels totaling 600 liters, the same kind of tank SpaceX flies on its rockets. That works out to air roughly 340 times denser than what you're breathing, stored at several hundred atmospheres. Tesla says it leaves the nozzles faster than the speed of sound and the system puts out more than 80 kN, enough force to hold up over 8,000 kg.

The white cloud it lands in comes from the air too. Gas expanding that violently gets cold enough to turn the moisture in the night air into fog on the spot. Nothing on the car is burning.

And the tanks refill themselves. Elon says the Roadster can pump them back up on its own, which means the propellant for that six-story catch was the same air you're breathing right now.

That’s a really good question to ask. Historically people that have accidentally uploaded secrets to the repositories have regretted it even when those repositories were private. Also, it’s bad practice to share production secrets with the entire team usually just keep those on the server. If you wanted to have a local secrets for setup on a machine use .env.example and then rename to .env on local setup. Only keep local env names in it.

@hectorserrranoo @WisprFlow @TrybeUGC @LukasPakter Great breakdown. I appreciate listening to your thought process behind the system.

[Brian Story @therealbstory]

@jasonfried @ericzawo I agree my CV hasn’t been updated in a long time. If you worked with me, you’d know within the with day. I’m a fan of probationary working agreements for the first couple weeks or month because I think it benefits both parties.

@Saanvi_dhillon Someone has to know what code to write and what code not to write

[Brian Story @therealbstory]

@dhh I feel like I’m one of the few devs that have a system that doesn’t result in slop. I literally do not have the issues that everyone else seems to complain about.

[Brian Story @therealbstory]

@MarioNawfal Bill has no place to talk about this. His opinion is meaningless on anything AI.

[Brian Story @therealbstory]

@Nicolas_MVD But they are really good at the tools that they have.

[Brian Story @therealbstory]

@ThePrimeagen I prefer human in the loop. I built tooling for human-agent collaboration rather than full agentic automation. My output is way better than most, and I have my thumb on my codebase and feature set.

[Brian Story @therealbstory]

Makes sense to me

🚨BREAKING: Jensen Huang just EXPOSED Dario and Altman’s "Rogue AI" grift to avoid getting sued into oblivion under EXISTING law

“Don't let this doomsday narrative cause somebody to relieve them of the laws that currently exist.

Go and read between the lines. They're actually not asking for more laws; they're asking to be relieved of the laws we do have.”

ABSOLUTE TRUTH NUKE

Yo #LG I think your AI is slacking. All i want is for my 2 year old dryer to stop making my cloths smell like gas.

@itskamrankhan I’ve not heard of anything entry level in a hot minute.

@dhh That was one of the better iPhones.

@Taniyatweets_ VS Code was never the problem. It was always Chrome.

@Anaya_sharma876 If I have to prove you wrong, then you're not a developer. Doing anything on Windows is painful. Yeah, I know they have the Windows Subsystem, but it works like dogshit.

[Brian Story @therealbstory]

We have not achieved AGI yet.... 3D models and video games are impressive but do not provide evidence of any AGI. We are still reproducing work that's already been done, not creating brand new things.
