@BovodioToad @TRHLofficial Then you add 2 + 3 to get 5, first (inside parentheses), then square - 5^2 = 25

@SnowMonsterNJ @TRHLofficial The problem as stated includes no variables, only constants. You use the standard order of operations.

@Lisa2937123715 @TRHLofficial They didn't expand the polynomial (missing the 2xy term).
2*2 + 3*3 = 4+9 = 13

@BruceTa55302936 @LamarMK I'm not seeing the feature, but I think I need to turn sentry mode on, first.

@SnowMonsterNJ @LamarMK On the latest m3 and I assume y where the live camera option is in the phone software you can make the car do fart noises. Also in car software somewhere too, after parking options etc.

@LamarMK I can make it fart from my phone, summer, holiday park, never gets old.

@WallStreetApes It's probably because the main ingredients are ketchup and vinegar. Ketchup contains Xanthan gum (to thicken the ketchup) which the acid from the vinegar turns it into a jelly like substance.

American got a BBQ sandwich at a gas station and took it home to microwave it
Shockingly the BBQ sauce isn’t a sauce at all, it’s transformed into a jelly like patty
It’s a near solid, keeps its shape and flops around
From what I can find it seems like many gas stations use commercial bbq sauces full of thickeners, they also use corn syrup and high high-fructose corn syrup combined can create this jelly
Other people online think it’s 3D printed, less likely
Our food is a science experiment. We have to Make America Healthy Again

@elonmusk @BrianRoemmele Wouldn't telling the AI that these were Slack channels of a failed company help it avoid bad business decisions?
English
THEY ARE TRAINING AI IN JUNK CORPORATE SLACK CHATS AND THINK IT IS BRILLIANT.
It’s not.
The downsides of training AI on failed companies’ old Slack chats and email archives are exactly what I’ve been warning about for years.
These liquidation firms are now selling bankrupt startups’ entire internal comms, years of Slack threads, emails, meeting notes, HR drama, memes, and casual workplace noise, to AI labs for up to $100k a pop. They call it “data assets.” I call it corporate thought digital sewage being fed into the models at scale.
This is not “high-protein” data.
This is the opposite.
Real intelligence advances come from dense, thoughtful, undigitized human knowledge, the kind I’ve spent decades rescuing from physical archives, old technical films, HyperCard stacks, and private libraries precisely because the internet already ran out of quality signal years ago.
What these failed companies left behind is low-signal corporate exhaust: groupthink, short-term survival thinking, power dynamics, and the exact patterns that caused them to fail in the first place. Feeding that into frontier models is like giving cardboard to cows and expecting better milk.
Worse, the people who wrote those messages never consented to having their words packaged up and sold as training fodder after the company collapsed.
This isn’t public Reddit posts or Wikipedia edits. These are private workplace conversations turned into tokens without meaningful permission. It treats human communication as just another disposable corporate asset to be liquidated.
That’s not innovation, that’s grave-robbing with extra steps.
We already know what happens when models are trained on this kind of shallow, noisy, context-specific slop: accelerated model collapse, structural hallucination, and agents that inherit the worst habits of dysfunctional office culture instead of first-principles reasoning.
The labs chasing “agentic” capabilities think this workplace simulation data will help. It won’t. It will just make the models better at mimicking the very failures that killed these companies.
This is the lazy, end-stage data grab we’ve been heading toward. Once the easy corporate archives are scraped dry, we’ll be left with even lower-quality remnants or pure synthetic slop.
The path to genuine intelligence was never going to come from hoovering up more internet exhaust or failed startup chat logs.
It was always going to come from preserving and learning from the highest-quality human knowledge that hasn’t been polluted yet.
The problem is these AI companies don’t know how to get it, would rather talk to anyone but me, and pay $100,000 for stuff I throw away because it is so low quality.
Right now their AI being trained on corporate drama designed to own you with the digital remains of other people’s collapsed dreams.
What we choose to train on matters.
This choice is a mistake.
I know it and you know it but the the smart folk don’t want to know it.

@WallStreetApes My grandson went to the Wildwood Boardwalk and hit the candy store. When he came back and showed us his haul, I remarked "Candy cigarettes? I didn't think they made them any more."
Shortly after, candy cigarettes were on my Facebook feed...

CBS News says your phone is “Not listening to you”
According to CBS, if you’re talking about something and an ad pops up on your phone for it, it’s a “creepy coincidence”
They say processing audio from billions of phones in real time to pick out keywords and serve ads would be technically impossible at scale
According to them, a scientific study of thousands of Android apps found no evidence of surreptitious audio recording being sent to advertisers
I don’t believe this, not even a little bit

If you want to know what’s really safe or what’s not, just try buying insurance for it
X Freeze@XFreeze
Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) is currently ~9x safer than the average human driver Because of this massive safety advantage, auto insurance providers like Lemonade are now offering Tesla owners up to a 50% discount on their per-mile premiums when FSD is engaged Choosing Tesla FSD driving is not just safer, but it also directly saves you money
English
@willforamerica1 @elonmusk It has 4 modes:
1⃣Slow Poke - at or below speed limit
2⃣Standard - Speed limit
3⃣Hurry - just above speed limit
4⃣Mad Max - afraid to try it!
Mostly levels of speed and lane change agressiveness.
English
Try out self-driving in a Tesla.
It will greatly improve your quality of life and may save your life.

I was on @wholemars space this afternoon while my Model 3 drove me for a couple of hours to drop off my taxes. And found myself quite emotional listening to others' stories about theirs. I'll never sell it. It is the best thing I've ever spent money on beyond marriage and bringing children into the world. During the show it passed 159,000 miles. It is the 7,409th one Tesla made. Stood in line overnight 10 years ago to put down $1,000 before it was even announced. (I have a video over on Facebook of the first 100 people in line that I treasure today. Behind us were more than 1,000 in the Danville store). I really feel sorry for anyone who buys something else. I've driven many others since and they simply aren't even close to as good. Even the Chinese ones. They don't automatically drive nearly as well. My eight year old car is still way better than any other that's out today. Except a new Tesla. I studied automotive innovation most of my career because of my perch in Silicon Valley. When I was a kid the auto industry had its R&D centers somewhere else. Detroit. Stuttgart. Tokyo. Today they all have their R&D centers here in Silicon Valley because this is where the talent is that can build the future. Had the first ride in the Fiat 500. First ride in the BMW i3. First ride in the first Mercedes AI car. First ride in the first Tesla. Because two of my high school friends were killed in wrecks. My last book written with @IrenaCronin has a whole chapter about Robotaxis (written seven years ago). Uber was invented right in front of me in a Paris snowstorm. Did one of the first interviews with Lyft's founder. A week ago had a ride in the NVIDIA Mercedes at GTC. I have the first video of a Waymo EVER driving around a Silicon Valley freeway (it's up on YouTube). I had a front row seat on how Tesla outclassed the whole industry and brought software driven automobiles to the market. No one had done so before. Today my eight year old car is WAY better than when I bought it (I picked it up April 4, 2018). If I'm alive in 10 years we'll see maybe 100 million Optimus robots walking around everywhere and many vehicles that Franz @woodhaus2 and team haven't even dreamed up yet. All driving autonomously. And finally the death rate will start going down because of plans made more than a decade ago. There is a reason why I'm an Elon fan and it goes way beyond him giving me a ride in the first one before he gave his best friend a ride. It builds products the others can't match. Even a decade later. Even after Elon showed them. Even after they tore apart his cars to analyze how they were built. Even after I drove mine to Detroit to give people in traditional auto industry their first look back in 2018. And next comes Optimus, a new Roadster, a new semi, a new car without a steering wheel, a new transportation system, new tunnels to go faster across cities like Las Vegas, and more that I can't even dream up yet and I've been a futurist for a long time. It is so awesome finally seeing many "normal" people get what I've been saying for years and seeing the numbers of Tesla's on Silicon Valley's streets go up and up. So many over the years have given me shit about owning a Tesla. Or supporting Elon. Or being one of the first to take my hands off of the steering wheel and sharing that here on X. They all were wrong. Tesla is the world leader in all of transportation, even if you include all the Chinese new brands, which are making cars with more screens and better seats. Soon everyone will understand that transportation isn't about having a leather dashboard or seats, but about having better AI. And Tesla's is the best. And I'm talking about the AI running in my eight year old car. The AI that runs in today's Teslas is even better than that. And, yes, I know that lots of engineers claim theirs is better. But they won't give me one of theirs to drive around for a few weeks. There is a reason for that. Theirs isn't as safe. Isn't as smooth. Isn't as capable. And by the end of the year everyone will recognize that.

@JohnCleese I'm sorry, sir, but he's not saying we saved NATO in those wars, but those nations we did save are in NATO and is collectively referring to those nations with that term.

The peasant-level education of these presenters defies belief
Polly Sigh@dcpoll
NATO was formed after WW2, you complete fucking moron.

@SaltyBitch_52 I think it's the 'crabs in a bucket' syndrome. HBCU students are trying to get out of the 'hood, make something of themselves, and go on spring break. The 'hood follows them and creates the chaos...

.@elonmusk, has SpaceX looked into this technology to possibly create a 'reusable tile/heat shield'?
Bluntly Put Philosopher (BPP)@SocraticScribe
Plasma actuators reducing drag on a car By ionizing air along the surface, plasma controls the boundary layer and cuts turbulence. The same tech can be used on aircraft wings to delay stall, reduce drag, and improve lift, reshaping aerodynamics with no moving parts.

@QuantumAlteredX Interesting. I imagine this is tied to breastfeeding.

@SnowMonsterNJ @clint_timmy Sure, for the turmeric-honey mix in that video, a common recipe is: stir 1 tsp ground turmeric into 1 tbsp raw honey until smooth. Some versions add a pinch of cinnamon or black pepper. Take 1/2-1 tsp daily straight or in tea.
English
Mix turmeric with honey, and you won't believe what happens!
