@PhilosophyOfPhy And today Voyager 2 has traveled beyond our solar system into interstellar space.

This legendary sequence from the 1978 BBC series Connections is often remembered as the "greatest shot in television history," it actually shows the launch of the Voyager 2 space probe atop a Titan IIIE rocket.

@WallStreetApes This is just the start. The warmth of collectivism demands everyone give up their freedoms to fund the cause.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani announces he would like to lower the speed limit to just 20mph on ALL STREETS in New York City A 20 mph speed limit would make it much easier to ticket everyone who drives a car all the time to pay for his socialist agenda Yes, this is real

@grok @Soccerdw205 @Rainmaker1973 I think this crossing takes a long time and the crossing wasn't completed in 2012. It may have started then.

Voyager 1 crossed the heliopause (that "wall") on August 25, 2012—NASA announced the confirmation in 2013, so this is indeed old news being recirculated. It's now ~16 billion miles (25.7 billion km) from Earth, still the farthest human-made object, operating in interstellar space and sending back data.

Voyager hit a 90,000°F wall at the solar system’s edge. NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft crossed one of the most dramatic frontiers in the cosmos: the heliopause, the tenuous boundary where the Sun’s influence finally gives way to interstellar space. What the probe discovered there was astonishing—a turbulent zone of superheated plasma with temperatures soaring between 30,000 and 90,000 °F (roughly 17,000–50,000 °C). This wasn’t a physical wall or barrier, but a dynamic transition region where the outward-flowing solar wind abruptly slows, compresses, and piles up against the incoming pressure of interstellar material. That compression converts kinetic energy into thermal energy, driving the plasma to extreme heat levels far beyond anything found inside the heliosphere. Remarkably, despite the blistering temperatures, this “wall of fire” would pose no danger to a hypothetical astronaut. The plasma is extraordinarily diffuse—far less dense than the best vacuums achievable in Earth laboratories—so there are simply too few particles to transfer meaningful heat. The region is hot in temperature but cold in practical effect. Voyager’s instruments captured clear signatures of the crossing: a sudden plunge in solar wind particles, a sharp rise in galactic cosmic rays, and faint plasma oscillations that revealed the density and temperature of this exotic boundary layer for the first time. These vibrations—analogous to ripples on an unseen sea—provided direct measurements of conditions in a realm previously known only through theory. The heliopause itself serves as a vital shield. The entire heliosphere—the vast bubble carved by the Sun—deflects most of the galaxy’s high-energy cosmic radiation, helping protect life on Earth from constant bombardment. Beyond this protective envelope lies the harsher, unfiltered radiation environment of the interstellar medium. Today, more than 15 billion miles (24 billion kilometers) from home, Voyager 1 remains the farthest human-made object ever sent into space. Still operational and transmitting precious data, it continues to reveal the secrets of this distant frontier. At the outer limit of our solar system, space is neither empty nor serene. It is a violent, glowing threshold—and humanity has only begun to map its mysteries.

@DogecoinNorway @grok @elonmusk I took a picture of a room in my house and asked grok to remodel it in a certain style. It only sent me pics of other rooms.

Looking for land and to build a house! Grok is helping me with all the paperwork and design. Just in the start phase, but it looks like Grok will save me lots of money in the process of building the house!! Love it!! Thank you @grok and @elonmusk

@TRHLofficial Woke version of The Matrix.

We’re in hell.

@NicklasNilsso14 @DirtyTesLa No self cleaning? WTF Tesla!

This is a real problem for self driving Teslas. This is from 3 hours of driving @DirtyTesLa

@CodyLibolt We are $39 trillion in debt.

@mikepat711 Grok can’t currently read a pdf of financial tables without hallucinating about the data in it. I tried.

This is one of the two biggest reasons why I still end up not using grok that often. The second is that it lacks features like Claude’s work helper/cowork, or perplexity’s spaces/perplexity computer. Seems like the real emphasis is on imagine, which is cool but mostly useless for someone like me. Hoping to see them add stuff like this soon. Today I’d say I use Claude 80% of the time, Gemini 10% (because it’s integrated with chrome), and Grok the other 10%. Just started using comet though which is probably replacing Gemini. And I am a person who actually wants to use Grok over all others. But the features others have are just too useful for now.

@elonmusk @AdamLowisz It can’t currently read a pdf of financial tables and not hallucinate about it.

@AdamLowisz It should be able to do a good analysis today. Grok outputting files in different formats is coming next week.

Elon, how far away is Grok from being able to do all my taxes and bookkeeping for my business if I gave it access to my files? That would be a game changer!

@RusssOsborne @JSX423 @DirtyTesLa Not while driving.

@AnOppressedWASP @JSX423 @DirtyTesLa It’s easier to drag to a preferred route than it is to explain to grok.

Wow... Just imagine - what if Tesla Nav was as good as Google Maps? 😬 Using FSD would be sick if you could just drag any point of the route to the road you want to go on... Nav issues would be a thing of the past - especially if it remembered your change. @DirtyTesLa @Tesla_AI

@lingyun928 @suchnerve It is a service from the age of the pony express. It has outlived its usefulness.

@suchnerve USPS is a vital public good that connects the entire country, not a business to be profitable. Propaganda to privatize it often hides the goal of cutting services that don’t make money.

The United States Postal Service, USPS, doesn’t “lose” money. It costs money. It’s a public service. Don’t fall for the privatization propaganda.

@suchnerve Why should it be different than UPS, FedEx, DHL?

@CBSNews Fine. I never mail anything.

@wholemars Would be great for getting the elderly around.

@theblaze DST helps the economy. People stay out longer, consume, and do more business. I’m just saying.

@libsoftiktok The answer is pretty easy, Kathy. Repeal NY of wokeness. Maybe out a conservative law or two on the books. Embrace capitalism.

Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) complains that wealthy people are ABANDONING New York for Republican states like Florida and Texas to avoid oppressive taxes that fund her "generous" social programs She's PISSED they are no longer "captives" in her state.

@DyerbolicalDB By photoshopping nipples on screen grabs?
