If you're looking for something that will inspire you. I found this lecture shortly after it came out and it changed my life literally. The great thing about it? It's free. cmu.edu/randyslecture/

An 81 year old homeowner in Texas fired her weapon after two teens, ages 15 and 16, allegedly forced their way into her home late at night. Police reported clear signs of forced entry, and one teen died at the scene while the other later died at the hospital. Days later, the families filed a civil lawsuit seeking $1 million, claiming excessive force. The case has sparked intense debate over self defense rights, homeowner protection, and the legal limits of using deadly force during a break in.

@officer_Lew It's California so "pursuing" anything won't be happening especially any kind of justice. They voted for it though so can't feel to bad.

ADDITIONAL🚨: An attorney for Ice Spice said, “The unprovoked attack on my client has been reported to the LAPD and we will be pursuing any and all avenues to hold the perpetrators responsible for their actions, including criminally and civilly. We are also exploring holding the location responsible for their lack of appropriate security.”

This is the moment an invader who entered on a dinghy allegedly set out to carry out a knife terror attack on London's Israeli embassy after his asylum claim was rejected. Abdullah Albadri was captured by police jumping on the embassy fence with two knives and a martyrdom note.

@officer_Lew If it was an accident he will never get over it, I would bet he wouldn't be able to go on. Incoming drinking Leaving Las Vegas style.

NEW🚨: Bodycam footage released of Chicago Police Officer Carlos Baker fatally shooting his partner, Officer Krystal Rivera. The two were chasing a suspect into an apartment building when Baker fired a single shot that struck Rivera. Prosecutors and Baker’s attorney call it an unintentional/accidental discharge. Rivera’s family and their attorney dispute that account, citing their prior on-again, off-again romantic relationship and raising questions about the circumstances."

People oddly assumed that I didn’t understand LiDAR, even though I oversaw the custom LiDAR development that Dragon uses to dock with the Space Station
Brivael@brivael

Aujourd'hui grosse discussion avec mes ingés (chez Argil) sur pourquoi Elon a viré le LIDAR de ses voitures autonomes. Choix radical, moqué pendant des années, et comme d'hab il avait raison depuis le début. Le LIDAR c'est un laser qui balaye l'environnement et crache un nuage de points 3D. Sur le papier tu obtiens la géométrie exacte du monde. Dans la vraie vie c'est une verrue technologique collée sur le toit parce qu'on sait pas faire mieux avec la vision seule. Problème numéro un : ça rajoute une modalité dans le training du modèle. Ton réseau doit apprendre à fusionner vision + lidar + radar + ultrasons. Chaque capteur en plus c'est une source de désaccord à arbitrer, pas une source d'info supplémentaire. Sensor fusion artisanale = dette technique permanente. Problème numéro deux, la bitter lesson de Rich Sutton : scaler le compute sur une seule modalité bat systématiquement les architectures bricolées à la main. Tesla a dropé le radar, puis les ultrasons, est passé full end-to-end vision. Leur courbe sur les edge cases s'est accélérée APRÈS, pas avant. Waymo fait l'inverse et reste stuck en ops géofencée. Problème numéro trois, le plus fondamental : le LIDAR voit la géométrie, pas la sémantique. Il sait qu'il y a un truc, pas ce que c'est ni ce que ça va faire. Les derniers 9 de fiabilité sont des problèmes de cognition, pas de perception brute. Un capteur de plus résout rien, il ajoute du bruit. Sébastien Loeb balance une 208 T16 à 180 dans un chemin boueux corse sous la pluie avec zéro LIDAR. Deux yeux, un cerveau. L'évolution a donné des yeux aux prédateurs pendant 500 millions d'années, pas des lasers. Il y a une raison. Le LIDAR c'est l'équivalent du marxisme appliqué à l'économie. Une solution planifiée, centralisée, qui prétend modéliser explicitement ce qui doit émerger d'un système distribué et adaptatif. Tu remplaces l'intelligence par de la mesure, la compréhension par de la donnée, l'émergence par le contrôle. Ça rassure les ingénieurs qui veulent tout spécifier en amont, exactement comme la planif rassurait les économistes soviétiques. Et ça échoue pour les mêmes raisons : la réalité est trop riche pour être capturée par un capteur, comme elle est trop riche pour être capturée par un plan quinquennal. La vraie intelligence, celle de Hayek comme celle de Tesla, c'est de faire confiance à un système qui apprend de l'expérience plutôt que de tout pré-encoder. L'élégance d'une solution c'est son rapport signal sur complexité. Le LIDAR explose le dénominateur. Défendre le LIDAR en 2026 c'est préférer empiler des hacks plutôt que résoudre le vrai problème. C'est de la feignasserie intellectuelle maquillée en rigueur d'ingénieur. Les mêmes gens qui défendaient les systèmes experts en 2012 contre le deep learning. Ils finiront pareil. Never bet against end-to-end. Never bet against la simplicité. Never bet against Elon.

THIS GUY GAVE CLAUDE HIS DEAD GAME'S 30-YEAR-OLD FILES AND CLAUDE REBUILT THE ENTIRE THING he built an online multiplayer game in 1992 that ran on CompuServe. it shut down in 1999. he still had the old DOS-era script files but zero source code and zero documentation. he fed those files to Claude Code. Claude reverse-engineered the entire proprietary scripting language from scratch. then rebuilt a full game engine from the artifacts alone. the result: → 2,273 rooms → 297 monster types → 88 spells → 8 playable races → Go backend, React frontend, WebSocket multiplayer → fully playable right now a game that died 27 years ago is alive again because an AI read files it was never designed to understand. this is the most impressive Claude Code demo i have ever seen.

@unlimited_ls 14 years in Chicago is impressive, I would have guessed they would have been right back out on the streets. At least that's how it usually is these days.
