@bryan_johnson @elonmusk @neuralink I like it when my favorite people get along

Congratulations to @elonmusk and @neuralink. They chose to work on a hard problem and this is an exciting milestone.

@HotForMoot I was working on some embedded C code and we had a naming convention for pointers to prefix with a "p". I had a pointer to a pointer to a stream so... "ppStream". It's juvenile, but for some reason I couldn't stop laughing once I realized and I just left it in.

I was writing code and remembered that guy who named his variable cumshot by accident 💀

@garyblack00 @elonmusk @john Who says they're going to train?

@elonmusk @john Don’t you and Zuck have better things to do than train for a cage match?

“The Walrus” by @elonmusk. 🔥🔥

@InternetH0F I remember talking to a friend in college when he described the "voice in his head" I remember thinking it was so weird he was expressing thoughts as words all the time. Seemed so inefficient. Turns out it's pretty normal, maybe I'm the weird one.

@slye @OutofSpecDave @LucidMotors @RateYourCharge 2023 Model Y, beatcha 😉

@OutofSpecDave @LucidMotors @RateYourCharge 2018 Tesla Model 3: 250 kW

State your EV year, make and model. Then show me your best peak charging rate. I will start… 2022 Lucid Air Grand Touring: 307 kW @LucidMotors @RateYourCharge

@SahilBloom Coming from a software engineering background, I gravitated towards a "Scrum Retro" approach. We take out sticky notes and think of things that went well and didn't go well, and usually try and make a Kaizen (goal) for something to try for the next month scrum.org/resources/what…

I first came across the concept of the Life Dinner from entrepreneur Brad Feld. The idea is simple: A fixed monthly date to sit down for a meal with your partner to reflect on personal, professional, and relationship progress, challenges, and goals.

My wife and I recently started a monthly check-in ritual. It’s been incredible for our relationship. The Life Dinner:

@hankgreen If Minecraft taught me one thing: Volumes are deceiving.

One cubic meter being /1000 LITERS/ will never stop fucking me up.

@debapratim_ @DJSnM @Erdayastronaut If someone has an extremely large payload and wants to pay way more to put in orbit, why would they say no?

Didn't know Starship will also fly in expendable mode?? @DJSnM @Erdayastronaut

@TeslaSolar Been on the waitlist for 5 years for your regular solar panels to come to Maine! 😢

@wholemars You might be right for some small percentage of highly innovative people. But mostly the stuff we call new is stuff that AI could create by copying and combining styles. e.g. if I ask ChatGPT to write a poem, is that new? If a human did it would you call it a new poem? Yes.

Generative AI can emulate our style, but it can’t innovate and create something new

@Nunzilla72 @GPlanincic @elonmusk @AukeHoekstra @guardian You didn't read the report. Even if you only drive 5k a year, after 16 months you'd already be ahead on emissions. Doesn't take that long. And wouldn't be much of a "mission" if it was already accomplished, now would it 😉

@AaronMcCollough @GPlanincic @elonmusk @AukeHoekstra @guardian I didn’t see much real-world context. If I drive 5k miles a yr, the front-loaded EV environmental damage is going to take a lot longer to offset than if I drive 25k a yr. Says robotaxis are part of the mission several times, do they even sell one? Marketing docs basically.

"EVs will ruin the climate" is the message of this new @Guardian clickbait piece, focussing on how electric vehicle batteries need lithium, while mining is bad for the planet. I think this crusade is unhelpful and the number for lithium mining presented 1000x too high. 🧵

@Bumpus_Hounds_ @GPlanincic @elonmusk @AukeHoekstra @guardian Agree with the point, but OP was asking specifically if Elon (and Tesla) had put out any information. They have, it's the yearly impact report.

@Nunzilla72 @GPlanincic @elonmusk @AukeHoekstra @guardian Sure, but OP was asking if Elon put out any studies, Tesla impact report is closest thing to that. Agree it makes sense to consult *trusted* 3rd parties. Problem is lots of orgs have agendas in the other direction, too. Hard to know where to look...

@AaronMcCollough @GPlanincic @elonmusk @AukeHoekstra @guardian To play devil's advocate, isn't this a little like trusting Pfizer or VW to self-report?

@GPlanincic @elonmusk @AukeHoekstra @guardian Tesla publishes an impact report. All the information you're looking for is in there. Lifecycle emissions pg. 60, supply chain pg. 94 tesla.com/ns_videos/2021…

@elonmusk @AukeHoekstra @guardian I would, actually, like to know more about the impact of lithium on the environment in comparison to fossil fuels. If you have some kind of a study, I'd love to read through it.

@blovereviews And if you accidentally leave it running in a confined space, it will literally kill you!

If electric cars were first to mass market, and someone made an ICE car, we would all be laughing about the unnecessarily complex engine, the constant maintenance required to keep it running, the laughably slow acceleration, and the need to drive somewhere to refuel.

@ScottAdamsSays Easier to argue that global warming is a risk (rather than a certainty), but it is foolish to roll those dice, given that we will eventually run out of fossil fuels and have to generate energy sustainably anyway.

@JohnnaCrider1 I was always the first one, lol

I would always get the one that say John 🤣😭
