this past weekend was one for this history books
I was at @MOSTARTUPWKD - my company @AvironSoftware was sponsoring - and brought my 11yo daughter Lucy, who told me that she was going to pitch an idea
what happened next was unbelieveable. She got selected to the final 15 and absolutely decimated it on stage
never been a prouder dad moment in my life. I'm not usually one to talk about my kids but yeesh, the kid slayed.
thanks @brettcalhounn for another great time

@ryanflorence well, my 2001 Honda CR-V has Apple CarPlay … and I can ask Siri things that it can’t answer through that
English

So ... I drive a Tesla (well it drives me) as I ask Grok how things work, get my internet from Starlink, and then shoot the breeze on Twitter while my Cursor agent churns through my latest prompt
Elon Musk just about owns my entire day
SpaceX@SpaceX
SpaceXAI and @cursor_ai are now working closely together to create the world’s best coding and knowledge work AI. The combination of Cursor’s leading product and distribution to expert software engineers with SpaceX’s million H100 equivalent Colossus training supercomputer will allow us to build the world’s most useful models. Cursor has also given SpaceX the right to acquire Cursor later this year for $60 billion or pay $10 billion for our work together.

@joelatwar @CollinRugg I think we had lived in our Puyallup house for a month before I knew we had a perfect view of Rainier from our master bedroom.
One morning I came out of bathroom and looked out the window and BAM enormous volcano in my face. I yelled to my wife "WOAH COME LOOK AT THIS!"

NEW: Seattle Storm WNBA player Natisha Hiedeman says she "didn't know what was going on" when she saw a mountain (Mount Rainier) from her balcony.
Mount Rainier is 14,410 feet high and is visible from Seattle.
"I was just sitting on my balcony and I sat on my balcony like mad times. I had never seen it, so I didn't know like what was going on."
Hiedeman joined the team about a week ago but says she never realized there was a mountain despite spending "mad times" on her balcony.
Lmao.

@CollinRugg Here is Mount Rainier from my deck. Thanks to Washington's famous cloudy days it's possible to go weeks where I can't see it.

@ryanflorence @CollinRugg I was half way through explaining this when I saw your reply.
English

@CollinRugg I lived there for five years. There's a phrase there that's telling of how often you actually can see it:
"The mountain is out"

@davepl1968 Nice try Dave. I know that a wizard haunted every automatic transmission with an evil demon that controls it.
That’s why I only drive manuals.

This a computer, and you likely own one. It's a hydraulic analog computer.
It’s essentially a machined analog computer that computes with fluid instead of electronics: pump pressure is routed through passages that act like wires, while spool valves, springs, orifices, and check balls perform the equivalents of comparators, logic gates, delays, and one-way elements.
What it “calculates” is the machine’s current operating state, whether conditions have crossed a threshold to justify changing state, how strongly to apply each output, and how quickly to make that transition without instability or shock.
It does this by continuously balancing forces—pressure on different valve areas against spring preload and feedback pressure—so each valve shifts only when one hydraulic condition outweighs another, while restrictions and chambers add timing and smoothing.
In plain English, it is a real-time fluidic state machine that solves “if this pressure is greater than that one, route flow here; otherwise hold, delay, soften, or override” entirely through geometry and oil.
They're used in every car with an automatic transmission, where it makes choices like what gear to be in and how hard to apply clutches, etc....
And some dude worked it all out on paper back in the 1960s.

@VicVijayakumar Except I know the owners and I think they mean it

heard about a restaurant. called them to place an order and they were like no no we don’t take orders over the phone come stand in line. was fascinated by this complete contempt for customers so I drove over and it was a counter service takeout restaurant inside a grocery store.
they just continuously make every item on the menu and set it out in to-go containers. if you order what they have ready, you can have it.
wanted to try everything so ordered a ton of food. we just ate dinner, it was VERY good, and I have leftovers for days.

@MMBeckerman @CinemaTweets1 It was the British tail number for me

@CinemaTweets1 This looks really good. Interesting that it's yet one more Hollywood film set in Colorado that was very clearly not filmed anywhere even near Colorado.
