Cool video of New Glenn’s fairing re-entry. For this flight we installed an exo-atmospheric reaction control system (RCS) in the fairing to control re-entry and enable recovery of the fairing. We’re planning a parachute recovery later this year, and the data from these fairings gives us the learnings needed to develop and refine that capability.

@paulg @elonmusk FSD is by far a better experience than flying. I’ve personally found NorCal <-> SoCal a no brainer and that’s the default choice now on that route.

Whoah, self-driving cars compete with airlines. I never considered that till now.
Nahuel Hilal - TattooGuy@nahuelhilal

Yesterday I drove my @tesla 900 miles on FSD from Miami to Nashville and I realized it’s genuinely the better option. I fly that route 2 to 3 times a month. Flights are never under $400. Most times $600. Sometimes $800. Add Uber to and from both airports, or parking garage fees. Then factor in the delays, the cancellations, the security theater, the chaos, the guy next to you who hasn’t met deodorant yet. On the other hand: I pack healthy snacks, press one button, and the car just goes. I took calls. Replied to emails. FaceTimed my family. Ate without pulling over. Did everything I normally do on a travel day, except none of the stuff that makes travel days miserable. My biggest concern going in was range and charging. Here’s what actually happened: My bladder needed one extra stop the car didn’t even suggest. Most charging stops were under five minutes. Total cost for the whole trip was less than just the uber to the airport. And this was the base model Y. Now I’m thinking I should get something comfier and just make this the default.

@Waymo your robots shouldn’t hug the left lane in 101 going below the speed limit. Go with the flow or move over.

If Iran is tolling the Strait and taking on Chinese weapons, the job is not done and must be finished. The price might be high now—but it will only be higher later.

It is a huge failure of operation Epic Fury, planners should have anticipated the need to leave a single Iranian F-14 intact so that the downed crew could have exfiltrated themselves.

Elon Musk has 6.5 MILLION times more wealth than the typical American. It’s time for a wealth tax — billionaires must pay their fair share.

Agile was never relevant.
Allen Holub. https://linkedIn.com/in/allenholub@allenholub

I keep hearing that AI has made Agile irrelevant. Okay. I'll throw in the towel. Let's dump Agile altogether. So, instead, here is by far the best AI-focused way of working that I know: First, - The way we treat people and work with them is more important than processes and tools - Working software is more important than any sort of documentation or other formalisms - The best work happens when we work collaboratively with each other and our customers. The best environments are based on trust and communication. - Planning only goes so far, and we need to adapt to what we learn as we learn it Furthermore, I'd suggest that: - Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software. - The best way to build the right thing is to work small and deliver very frequently (at least daily), so that we can get feedback early and adjust based on that feedback. - That we have to do that by working closely with business and product people. The code is secondary to defining and building the right thing. - That we have to hire motivated people and get them the best tools that we can for them to do their job. They're the best people to tell us what tools they need. - Communicating in real time eliminates lots of problems—delays, blockers, rework. - We'll measure progress (and productivity) by how fast we can get valuable software into our customers' hands. Things like tokens/day, lines of code, and other measures of volume aren't useful. You are not more productive simply because you (or your AI helpers) type faster. - We'll do our work in a humane environment, relaxed enough that we can come to work every day rested and able to do our best work. People matter. - We'll focus on excellence and quality. Extensive testing, particularly when an LLM is involved, is essential. Great architecture underlies all great systems. - We'll strive for simplicity, both in the code and in the product. We'll build exactly what our customers need and no more, and will determine their needs by talking to them. - We'll trust the teams to figure out the best ways to go about their work. - We'll constantly look at both what we're building and how we're building it, and continuously improve in both categories. This is by far the best AI-focused approach that I know. Forget about all that "Agile" BS! 🙄

What's your FSD percent at after no exciting updates for a while? I'm wondering if people get bored and use it less over time.

@dhh How did we connect 3 computers without a hub or switch? Bridging the crossover Ethernet connection to one machine and the TCP over parallel(!) connection to the other. Good enough to play BF1942.

According to CBS News, the other aircraft involved in the crash of a U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker tonight over Western Iraq was another KC-135, with the tanker that went down in Iraq carrying a total of six servicemembers, while the other tanker was able to safely return to Israel.

@GavinNewsom Make up your mind then and have some consistency for a change. "Military action bad, gas prices high" so I assume you're going to talk the Iranian regime out of it?

Antisemitism is disgusting. My heart is with the Jewish community in Michigan today. California is coordinating with our law enforcement partners to keep our Jewish communities safe.
Governor Newsom Press Office@GovPressOffice

We are praying for the Temple Israel synagogue community in West Bloomfield. Antisemitism is vile! As @Cal_OES monitors this incident in Michigan, the state continues to coordinate with local and federal law enforcement to protect our Jewish community in the Golden State.

وقت کردید از کمی از پروژه شکوفایی ایران رونویسی کنید 😉 ایشان رئوس مهم پروژه را برداشته، کمی اصلاح‌طلبی به آن تزریق کرده، و به نام خودش زده. رفتار شما خجالت‌آور است.

🟩٧ گام برای بازگشت ایران از لبه پرتگاه نابودی، از آتش بس تا طرح مارشال ایرانی ایران نیازمند یه جراحی عمیق سیاسی و تصمیم گیری بسیار خطیر و سخته تا نابود و غیرقابل زیست نشه. به نظرم این ۷ گام، نقشه راه عبور از تاریکی بحران فعلی به روشناییِ رفاه و صلحه. 1⃣ اعلام فوری آتش‌بس اولین قاعده وقتی در چاه گیر افتادید اینه: وقتی تو چاه هستی، از کندن دست بردار! قبل از مرگ مغزی کامل دیپلماسی، باید به کالبد نیمه‌جان اون تنفس مصنوعی داد. پزشکیان امروز این تنفس مصنوعی دادن رو آغاز کرد. 2⃣ انتخاب یه رهبر میانه‌رو سیاست خارجی، تریبون بیانیه نیست؛ میز معاملس. نیاز به چهره‌ای داریم که زبان بیزنس و منطق قدرت را بفهمه و با ساختارها و سازوکارهای درونی سیستم هم آشنا باشه. چیزی که هم #ترامپ راضیه و هم همسایگان و البته فقط #نتانیاهو و سلطنت طلبان ازش نارضی میشن! 3⃣ پایان مخاصمه با اسرائیل جغرافیا را نمیشه تغییر داد، اما دشمنی‌های ابدی رو چرا. امضای تضمین عدم دشمنی و مخاصمه با اسراییل، یعنی خارج کردن بهانه جنگ از دست تندروهای هر دو طرف. 4⃣ عبور از فوبیای آمریکا و ایجاد رابطه با آمریکا رابطه داشتن با آمریکا یعنی بازگشت به مدار ثبات. یه فیل گنده تو یه اتاق کوچیک رو نمی تونی نادیده بگیری یا باید رقصیدن باهاش رو یاد بگیری یا زیر پایش له شی. الان دیگه انتخاب با ماس. 5⃣ دیپلماسیِ آغوش باز با کشورهای منطقه حتی اسراییل تبدیل هژمونی‌طلبی به همکاری منطقه‌ای خیلی مهمه. امنیت خریدنی نیست، ساختنیه! حتی اگر بخوای بخری هم قبلش باید جاشو داشته باشی. 6⃣ یک کشور، یک ارتش ادغام سپاه در ارتش ملی از نون شب واجب تره. بعد حملات آمریکا و اسراییل بعیده که دیگه سپاهی باقی بمونه و قدرت چندانی داشته باشه ولی بعد این ماجراها اصولا دیگه چیزی به اسم سپاه نباید وجود خارجی داشته باشه. برای بازگشت به یه دولت-ملت مدرن، باید انحصارِ مشروعِ قدرت تحت یه پرچم و یه فرماندهی کلاسیک باشه. پایان موازی‌کاری‌های پرهزینه. 7⃣ طرح مارشال ایرانی این از همه مهمتره. توافق برای بازسازی اقتصادی با سرمایه‌ی جهانی. اقتصادِ دستوری و انزواطلب، فقط فقر تولید می‌کنه. ما به تزریقِ نقدینگی و تکنولوژی نیاز داریم، نه فقط دعای خیر! با از بین رفتن اختاپوس اقتصادی سپاه میشه به آینده ایران تحت لوای یه طرح مارشال ایرانی امیدوار بود! #طرح_مارشال_ایرانی #آتش‌بس
