Today we're launching @ReservoirWave — one platform for mapping, forecasting, type curves, and economics. With data included.

Claude Code has changed our dev process, starting around June of 2025 when we learned about it from a presentation in the o'reilly safari webinar, can't remember the guy who presented, but it was really good.

Who else is coding at midnight on Sunday? #BestCompanyCulture #EvenThoughHashtagsRDed

@ReservoirWave @andrewbdfisher 🫡

@teslascope @laravelphp Big same. 😊 I can’t quit you baby @laravelphp

@CaseySprague Couldn't go anywhere without @laravelphp. ;) We're running on Laravel Cloud (as of this year), and utilize Nightwatch, Horizon, Passport, and a bunch of other wonderful community packages. Every project is powered by Laravel!

We can confirm that a downtime occurred with Tesla's infrastructure between 5:30 AM and 7:50 AM (PST), impacting both third-party apps and the official Tesla mobile app. Issues such as this do not affect vehicle phone keys, so customers were not locked out.

When a seasoned founder sells their company, they are transformed from a highly productive member of society into a depressed money manager. Meanwhile, the goods and services of their former company are degraded by the loss of its most effective employee. The former founder is deterred from starting a new business by the seemingly high returns generated by their money, which will for years dwarf the cash flows created by the new business. The founder is only snapped out of this stupor by the realization that the person who founds a successful company will never be satisfied only by watching numbers going up and down on a computer screen.

I guess it's time to show off what we've been working on. This has been an 8 year project in the making. I picked a completely random unit called Spud Muffin drilled by Devon in Eddy county. Video 1 / 12 - Find the wells. Filter down to active Devon wells in Eddy. Further refine with the drawing tool and filter spatially. No limits whatsoever on mapping and filtering capabilities, can handle 6,000,000 wells rendered on the map.

@jeffrey_way @freekmurze I built something for this that I'd love to show you guys. Sounds like Jeffrey is pretty happy with his solution, but Freek, if you're looking for a solution I think you'll like it. You're welcome to use it. If you're interested shoot me a DM.

@freekmurze I think they've changed it a bit. Either way, this is personal software just for me. So no issues so far. But I do cache heavily, which actually helps a bit. I don't have the "refresh page for fresh content" itch as much now.

The X algorithm is designed to keep you anxious, but engaged. And it works very well. :/ So I used their API to replace it. I made an old-fashioned 1800s-era "Daily Timeline" that removes all of the algorithmic junk, sidebar, unfair ranking, etc.

@andrewbdfisher You’re absolutely right!

Claude never misses a chance to congratulate itself

Like I’ve said for years, we desperately need autonomous cars because we’ve had driverless cars for a decade.

This is the NASA administrator we almost didn’t get.

@johnkrausphotos @Erdayastronaut @NASAAdmin Stop! We can’t take this much competence at a single government agency!

I’m humbled and energized to bring my passion for photography and storytelling to NASA and work under @NASAAdmin Jared Isaacman as Special Communications Assistant to the Administrator. With my focus now fully on working alongside the best and brightest at NASA, my independent media coverage and for-hire work comes to an end. Thank you all for following along over the years! Be sure to follow NASA’s channels to see great content from across the agency. I have deep respect for NASA’s communicators and creatives, individuals whose work I’ve followed and admired for a long time. I’m profoundly grateful for the opportunity to work with them to help continue sharing NASA’s story with the widest audience possible and inspiring the next generation to look up to the stars. Under Administrator Isaacman’s leadership, we will do just that. John Kraus Special Communications Assistant to the Administrator NASA

@chuckcook Not sure how helpful this statement is coming from a Navy pilot. 😉

14.2 is really good. Smooth as all my landings ;)

“A Higher Calling.” This is a true story. They met up later in life, and became great friends.

@OpenAI I too shall work in marketing x.com/andrewbdfisher…

@eliasmartinez Mine did this twice yesterday in just a few minutes on 13.2.9. I saw this a long time ago, maybe in 12.5.5 on CT, but not since. So odd.

I've seen videos of fsd 13.2.9 driving on the wrong side of the road, but this was the first time I experienced it myself on v13. It's very puzzling how fsd still makes mistakes like this. Feeling this yourself makes u really think about how much would have to be done to make fsd drive better if it's making basic mistakes like this.

@AnthropicAI I too shall work in marketing

@GuyDealership What an absolute crock.

Tesla’s direct-to-consumer model is leaving many drivers in frustration. Don Hall, CEO of the Virginia Automobile Dealers Association, breaks down why the franchise system still protects the customer. "The truth of the matter is this: we live in your communities, we're part of your communities, we've been around for generations, and we give a damn about our communities." "The fact of matter is that Tesla's model is not a model that gives you the kind of buying experience that you're entitled to and should have." "With franchise system, you got a choice, and you got a lot of folks who will compete and will do whatever it takes to earn your business and trust." - Thank you to our partner @getimpel!

Apologies for the TLDR, but when you step back, it is kind of wild what we’ve all lived through over the last five years. No wonder so many young people are anxious about the future—the ‘disturbance in the force’ feels stronger by the day. I don’t have any grand takeaways other than this--the world could use an immediate course correction in the direction of boring--or we may really need those Mars rockets sooner than expected. One thing is for sure--Israel is making a compelling case for Golden Dome. • A once-in-a-century pandemic shuts the world down. No matter how you view it in hindsight, both allies and adversaries were nearly unified in halting the global economy and banishing society to lockdowns and high-pressure mask & vaccination campaigns. • We tried to print our way out of the system shock, triggering the most euphoric markets since the dot-com bubble—pre-revenue IPOs reappeared for some reason and people forgot that good companies generally don’t SPAC. • The digital revolution kicked into overdrive—work-from-home, virtual education traumatized parents, Zoom cocktail parties, Peloton, DoorDash and MS Teams---probably the most painful development. • Civil unrest emerged alongside deepening social and political divides. • A disheartening end to the war in Afghanistan—trillions spent, thousands of lives lost and the Taliban is still running the show. • Market euphoria gave way to historic inflation. Interest rates shot up to cool things down. The tide went out, and the “shitcos” failed. Centralized crypto exchanges gambled customer deposits. Hedge funds weren’t hedged. VC-heavy banks like SVB collapsed, triggering a temporary panic in the regional banking system. The big banks… got even bigger. • For the first time since the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, a nuclear superpower launched a full-scale invasion of a neighboring country. The West isolates Russia, and we witness a new asymmetric dynamic in warfare--cheap drones, missile swarms, all playing out in real time on social media. • The metaverse and Web3 died quickly as the “Magnificent Seven” lead a market rebound on the promise of AI. • China closes gaps--and maybe pulls ahead--in some of the most strategically important technologies. They tolerate risk, aren’t afraid to steal good ideas and make them better--and operate with a culture that—for all its flaws—just goes out and does big things without dragging decades of baggage behind it. • Hamas launches a surprise attack on Israeli civilians, takes hostages and triggers a war that pulls in Iranian proxies like the Houthis--disrupting global shipping lanes and igniting a politically charged humanitarian crisis. • Political winds shift again. A former President—also the frontrunner—is shot in an assassination attempt, the first since Reagan. Thankfully, he survives and is now our 47th President. • The Pakistani and Indian Air Forces engage in the largest air-to-air exchange in decades. China’s latest fighters and missiles see combat success against contemporary French aircraft—signaling what many already knew--China’s military is approaching peer status. • Israel launches the most sophisticated and devastating air campaign since Desert Storm—targeting Iranian military and scientific leadership, degrading air defenses, missile systems and nuclear infrastructure..and the conflict may just be getting warmed up. All in just five years... Hopefully our defense and policy leaders are paying attention and making some course corrections. Congressional leadership is mostly well-intentioned, but often fights for expensive job programs--exactly the kind of thing an over-consolidated defense industry encourages--even as we stare down an unsustainable $36 trillion national debt. That’s how you end up holding a fleet of battleships during the advent of the aircraft carrier.... Only this time, the analogy breaks down--because as a nation have forgotten how to build ships. So instead, we will have $300 million fighter jets we can’t afford, arriving a decade too late, in quantities that may not even matter—disrupted by million-dollar, hypersonic, laser-equipped drones that our adversaries will likely produce at scale. Until, perhaps, the dark horse Skynet T-1000 shows up. This is the time--especially in such a politically charged environment--when we need to be finding more ways to come together instead of moving farther apart. A time to be rooting for America and our leadership, not betting on the next Polymarket catastrophe. Because if the next five years look anything like the last, military parades and trade imbalances will be the least of our problems.
