STARLINK: SpaceX Starlink Government & Enterprise for Latin America and the Caribbean, Juan David Vélez (@JuanDaVelez); and Starlink Sr. Director of Market Development, Jonathan Kleinman (@jonathankleinma), presented a comprehensive connectivity proposal to Honduras President Nasry Asfura. The Honduran government is promoting an alliance with SpaceX to connect 8,000 schools before the end of the 2026 school year! More Starlink news in the ELON CHRON below!

@elonmusk @elonmusk15621 @ImKingGinger In an AI/robot abundance future, we won’t need universal income checks entirely. We’ll build a true sharing economy: humans trade our abundant free time & services, while we also share robot time/capacity on-demand. Less currency needed—more direct collaboration & meaning. 😘🤖

Your statement is true if goods & services output doesn’t rise dramatically due to AI/robots, but false if it does. In a normal economy, issuing more money simply increases the dollar price of the existing output of goods & services, meaning people do NOT get more stuff. If AI/robots massively increase goods & services output, then you actually MUST issue dollars to people or there will be massive disinflation. Prices are simply the ratio of goods & services output to number of dollars.

The most unusual story in Grokipedia’s “Unusual Articles” is the Dancing Plague of 1518 (also called the dance epidemic of Strasbourg). Why it’s the standout…. In July 1518, in Strasbourg (then part of the Holy Roman Empire is now modern-day France) a woman named Frau Troffea suddenly started dancing wildly in the street with no music. Her dancing sparked a manic non-stop dance party of the darkest, most tragic kind imaginable. Check it out: grokipedia.com/page/Dancing_p…

When FSD plans, it sees the whole route, not just the moment. I was stuck behind a slow pickup towing an RV. Two lanes opened up, but FSD waited to pass because a highway merge was just 1/10 mile ahead—safer than speeding up on a short two-lane stretch. A bit frustrating in the moment, but definitely the smarter, safer call. 👍🚗

@elonmusk Tesla had to respond to police posted on the highway around a serious accident. It recognized the police cars, slowed down, cleared the accident that was still smoldering, did it safely but without delay and rubbernecking. 👍👍👍👍

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.

About Optimus… Let the AI automatically default to the cultural and social norms of whatever country or city it’s physically located in. So if you’re in Texas, it operates consistent with Texas social norms. If you’re in Japan, it teaches Japanese social norms. The AI is always anchored in the real environment the prrson/child is growing up in. That way you don’t need heavy-handed rules/regs, you just bake reality into the system from the start.

South Africa won’t allow Starlink to be licensed, even though I was BORN THERE, simply because I am not Black! We were offered many times the opportunity to bribe our way to a license by pretending that a Black guy runs Starlink SA, but I have refused to do so on principle. Racism should not be rewarded no matter to which race it is applied. Shame on the racist politicians in South Africa. They should be shown no respect whatsoever anywhere in the world and shunned for being unashamedly RACISTS!
DogeDesigner@cb_doge

Why Elon Musk is RIGHT to fight South Africa’s racist rules blocking Starlink? Imagine this: Long ago, South Africa had very unfair laws called apartheid. They treated Black people badly and kept them from good jobs and money. When those bad laws ended, the country made new rules (called B-BBEE) to help Black people get a fair share of business. The idea was good – like a big helping hand. But now? For companies like Starlink to sell fast internet, they MUST give away 30% of their business to Black partners. Just because of skin color. Elon Musk was born in South Africa. He left as a teen to chase big dreams. Today, his company SpaceX wants to bring Starlink – super fast satellite internet – to South Africa. But the rules say no unless they give up part of the company. Elon said it right: “Starlink is not allowed because I’m not Black.” SpaceX promised to spend about $30 million (that’s 500 million rand!) to give FREE high-speed internet to 5,000 rural schools. That helps over 2.4 MILLION kids every year learn better, get jobs later, and have a brighter future. Real help for the people who need it most! Starlink already works in about 24 other African countries. Villages there now have internet for school, doctors, and business. South Africa’s villages are missing out because of these racist rules. Elon isn’t asking for special favors. He just wants fair play so Starlink can connect everyone fast. Internet = education, jobs, hope. Why hold back millions of kids over rules that pick by race and color?

Under South Africa's Employment Equity policy, every employer with more than 50 staff must comply with RACIAL quota targets set by the government. Under these rules, in roles such as "skilled technicians" white men are limited to a quota of just 4.1%. Blatant discrimination.
