Five surgeons are discussing whose patients make the best surgical candidates: The first surgeon says , “I like to see accountants on my operating table. When you open them up, everything inside is numbered.” The second responds, “Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside them is colour-coded.” The third surgeon says, “No, I really think librarians are the best, everything inside them is in alphabetical order.” The fourth surgeon chimes in, “You know, I like construction workers. Those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over at the end. And if the job takes longer than you said it would, no big deal.” But the fifth surgeon topped them all. “You’re all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There’s no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains and no spine. And on top of that, the head and the ass are interchangeable.

@LasVegasLocally The key to his success was he found someone else who was also named Chuck, that he could replace and assume their business card.

Chuck Norris helped bring martial arts to Las Vegas in the 1960s, holding tournaments and opening a school. Several of the top casino executives in the city learned Tang Soo Do because of him. RIP legend.

**In the context of the tweet you shared from Tesla AI engineer Yun-Ta Tsai ("Tokens made codes / Codes made machines / Machines made tokens"), this is a poetic description of Tesla's self-reinforcing AI flywheel—especially for Full Self-Driving (FSD) and robotaxis.** ### What is a token? A **token** is the smallest unit of data that an AI model can understand and process. - In text-based AI (like ChatGPT or Grok): Text is broken into tokens—roughly subwords or chunks of ~4 characters (e.g., "self-driving" might become ["self", "-", "driving"]). Training data is measured in *trillions* of these tokens. - In vision/video AI (Tesla's world): Tokens are patches or processed units from camera footage. A few seconds of driving from Tesla's 8 cameras can generate *billions* of tokens—each representing tiny pieces of the scene (lanes, cars, pedestrians, traffic lights, etc.). Tokens are how raw real-world data (video, sensors, or text) gets turned into something a neural network can "eat" during training. ### How do tokens make codes? "Codes" here means the AI models themselves—the neural network software (weights, parameters, and architecture) that runs inside the car or robot. Here's the step-by-step process: 1. **Collect raw data** → Turn it into tokens Tesla's fleet of millions of cars drives around the world, capturing video. This raw footage is tokenized (split into learnable units). 2. **Train on tokens** → The model learns and improves The neural net is shown millions/billions of tokens and trained to predict what comes next (next token, next frame, next action). Through math (backpropagation + gradient descent), the model's internal weights are automatically adjusted. Result: The "code" (the model's parameters) gets smarter. It learns to understand the world better, predict human behavior, plan paths, etc. 3. **Better codes → better machines** The refined model ("code") is deployed to Tesla cars or Optimus robots. The vehicles now drive more autonomously, more safely, and in more situations. 4. **Machines generate more tokens** The improved cars drive *more* miles, collect *more* (and higher-quality) video data, which becomes new tokens… and the cycle repeats. This is the famous Tesla "data flywheel." More tokens → better codes → better machines → exponentially more tokens. It's why FSD keeps improving rapidly. In short: **Tokens = fuel (data units)** **Codes = engine (the AI model)** **Machines = the car/robot that runs the engine** The loop turns real-world driving into ever-smarter AI. That's exactly what Yun-Ta Tsai captured in three lines! 🚀

@yunta_tsai The best part is that it is already shipped… FSD just needs to be unleashed. @Tesla_AI

We can't wait to ship FSD to our 🇪🇺 customers.

Banger 🤣🤣

@PierrePoilievre Great idea, slogan and something to aspire to, just like World Peace, but I’m more interested in results than words.

Tariff-free trade. For 🇨🇦, for 🇺🇸, and for the benefit and friendship of the great people who call these two separate countries home.

@lucyshow11 How did his Showcase Showdown go @grok ? Any further videos of his appearance?

This guy is a GENIUS Savant!! 🔥The best Price is Right ever!! 🤣🤣🤣

@niccruzpatane 500 mile battery? Tesla Catheter sold separately! We had a diesel Jetta that did about 1000 Kms/tank, but we always had to stop for one reason or another.

Even if a Tesla had 500 miles of range, it wouldn’t change the trip much from LA to Yosemite, which is ~310 miles one way. There’s no way someone isn’t stopping at least once during the 5.5 hour journey. The Tesla with the longest range is the Model S AWD with 410 miles. During that one stop you are already taking during the 5.5 hour trip, the car charges, so you aren’t losing as much time as you think, if any. Plus, Yosemite offers many destination charging options, so your car can top off while you’re there, eliminating even more charging time. The biggest thing, @WilliamShatner, is that Tesla vehicles drive themselves. I’ve gone from Toronto to Austin, TX, without ever needing to touch the steering wheel. Over 3,500 miles total. Tesla Self-Driving handles charging and navigation, so you can just relax. The pros of road tripping in a Tesla far outweigh the cons. When you reach Yosemite, you’ll feel way more refreshed since you didn’t have to drive the whole way.

**In Alberta, the equivalent EV road-use charge (officially called the electric vehicle tax) is a flat $200 per year.**0 This applies specifically to **battery electric vehicles (BEVs)** and is collected by registry agents (or online via eService) when you register or renew your vehicle registration. It started on **February 13, 2025** (announced to begin as early as January 2025) and is added on top of your regular registration fees.18 ### Key details: - **Who it applies to**: Only fully electric (battery) vehicles. It does **not** apply to hybrids, plug-in hybrids, electric motorcycles, or electric off-highway vehicles. - **Exemptions**: Government vehicles, diplomats, certain First Nations on-reserve vehicles, and a few other specific cases (refunds/claims are available via the province). - **Purpose**: To offset lost provincial fuel tax revenue, just like Saskatchewan's fee. Alberta's gas tax is currently ~13¢/L, so a typical gas vehicle (e.g., 8 L/100 km over 15,000 km/year) pays roughly $156 in annual fuel tax—making the $200 EV fee roughly comparable (or slightly higher). - **No changes for 2026**: It's still $200 with no inflation indexing or increases announced. This is lower than Saskatchewan's new $300 annual charge (doubled from $150). Alberta went with a simple flat fee rather than Saskatchewan's per-km road-use charge model.19 If you're registering soon or have a specific vehicle type, double-check at an Alberta registry office or on alberta.ca, as that's where it's officially collected and any rare refunds are handled.

Saskatchewan raised the EV road tax from $150/ yr to $300 a year fixed rate, and starting in 2027 it will also rise with inflation. On avg a car getting 8L/100km would pay roughly $189 a year in road taxes over 15,000km. An EV would have to travel more than 25,000km to pay less

@TesLatino Kith me!

Trying to figure out a caption for this.

@DriveTeslaca Prediction: there will always be significantly more superchargers than Stellantis BEVs.

@MouthfulofTBO @theteapartyband @my96fm @jeffmartin777 Did AM 106 become the Mix 1060?

@theteapartyband Much Music and then Mix1060 in Calgary . Then saw you guys at Crabby Mikes in Med Hat early 2000’s when I was working at @my96fm and may have stayed a few hours past close having beers with Mr. Jeff Martin🍻🤘🏻🤘🏻@jeffmartin777

When did you first get introduced to The Tea Party? Was it Much? Was it a friend? We'd love to know...

@MouthfulofTBO @theteapartyband @my96fm @jeffmartin777 Awesome!

@thejefflutz Wally! Soon to be Ultra micro!

What the 🤯

@YahooNews Par for the course… any reminiscence on Hiroshima and Saganashkee?

President Trump on Thursday startled Japan's prime minister by mentioning the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. yahoo.com/news/articles/…

@danWpriestley Congratulations to you and your Team Dan!

@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX Do you have enough capacity to launch these for Jeff @elonmusk ? 🤣

NEWS: Jeff Bezos' rocket company Blue Origin has filed an official request with the FCC to launch and operate a constellation of 51,600 AI satellites (orbital datacenters), just two weeks after Amazon filed a formal petition calling on the FCC to deny @SpaceX’s 1 million-satellite proposal for orbiting datacenters, going as far to claim the project would take “centuries” to deploy. Blue Origin's project, called “Project Sunrise,” would include up to 51,600 satellites in low Earth orbit, designed to run AI and cloud computing workloads using constant solar power. The system would primarily use laser (optical) links between satellites. Blue Origin says "space-based data centers could relieve pressure on Earth’s power grids and water usage."

@JessePeltan @AukeHoekstra My Friend was a solar research engineer from the 1980s, in Alberta, Canada… he has some very interesting stories of resistance and pessimism!

Happy Solar Pessimism Chart Update Day to all who celebrate

@PierrePoilievre Great podcast Peter, but claiming that you have never heard of Round Up and glyphosate? grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5…

A tariff-free 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 partnership. For security and affordability on both sides of the border.

@elonmusk @jonstewart I would like to propose a Propagandist Cage Match!

@jonstewart Not as good as you! Stop being so humble.

Elon Musk is an extremely skilled propagandist.
