The 2012 Model S Signature and 2026 Model S Signature. The first and last version of the @Tesla Model S.

Of the parts that remain on the 2026 version, only 3% of them are shared with the original Model S:
• 375 lbs lighter
• 40% more efficient
• Thousands of improvements

@fauxtakufoxtaco @iky_fwjett This is news to me!

[Michael Nielsen @michael_nielsen]

The fact you can talk to your library would have seemed bizarre 10 years ago; today it seems bizarre that you can't

@i2cjak I can do through-hole resistors.

[Tim Potter @timothypotter]

@Jordan_W_Taylor @snurosnare @CalumDouglas1 The Algebraist probably the most fun.

[Tim Potter @timothypotter]

@DJSnM Double granny knots are fine though.

@CJHandmer A friend built a Beowulf cluster back in the day and loading it up too much caused caps to melt off desktop-grade motherboards.

@CJHandmer When peak load = average load.

@i2cjak Enjoy! I probably wrote 10k lines of code while babies were sleeping.

Age verification going about as well as you would expect.

[Pirat_Nation 🔴 @Pirat_Nation]

Australian kids are using dog photos to bypass new age verification systems.

Kids uploaded a Google image of a golden retriever as a "selfie" for facial age estimation and it passed, granting access.

Others used AI-generated adult faces or edited images to fool the systems.

@justinskycak Four months in and finally starting to get the low-stakes part. Scoring 100% on a quiz is a buzz, but it’s dawning on me that they are gently probing to find your weaknesses, and that’s way more valuable.

@ElecNotes Sorry, that was an attempt at a joke. Hey, I enjoyed your superhet radio book - finding the history part of things fascinating.

[Tim Potter @timothypotter]

@psviderski Oh neat - the heartbeat idea is cool.

[Tim Potter @timothypotter]

@jorandirkgreef @amr_hedeiwyy Wow - after all these years it still amazes me that there can be serious bugs in code that has probably been running for millions of hours.

@1llegalEngineer Linter rules are meant to be broken!
