@ProofofMaro You should wash your hands.

Is it just me or?

@disneytipsguy Screw that. Go all the way back to paper tickets for classification rides. People would love the nostalgia.

Which ride should get rid of the ILL next? Frankly we have all had enough of them and more people would buy MLL if they were part of the purchase!

@Parkeology Hopefully Disneyland will keep the original Back Thumper Mountain. Always nice to get a free adjustment as a souvenir.

The refurbished Big Thunder Mountain received several changes, including some new show scenes, a new climax, and importantly, an all-new track. But some are saying that it may now be TOO smooth! That it’s no longer “wild”! Is that even possible, or are those folks just nuts?

@DisneyScoopGuy When they destroyed the Razorcrest in the series it was heartbreaking.

Pedro Pascal posted a new clip from The Mandalorian and Grogu! Releasing in theaters on May 22nd!

@elonmusk how does FSD handle the LATA effect? When a human can sense that another driver is about to perform an unsafe maneuver or is a general threat to the rest of the vehicles, and takes efforts to avoid? "Look At This Asshole"

@KaiXCreator BO. No one will ever need to leave the house again and robots will not have a sense of smell. Even when they do get one, they will tell us we smell great.

What will come after AI?

@AishwaryaDevv Ok, I just got to Walmart. What aisle are the domains in?

For people who keep asking how to deploy a simple static HTML personal blog: 1. Buy a .io domain for $70/year 2. Provision 3 AWS EC2 instances 3. Setup a multi-region Kubernetes cluster 4. Write 4,000 lines of Terraform config 5. Deploy a high-availability Kafka event stream 6. Rewrite the backend API in Rust 7. Containerize everything with Docker 8. Set up Grafana and Prometheus for observability 9. Implement an enterprise-grade CI/CD pipeline 10. Configure a distributed Redis caching layer 11. Setup PagerDuty alerts for 99.999% uptime 12. Realize the site only gets 1 visitor a month 13. Forget how to center a div in CSS 14. Abandon the project completely

@ThrillaRilla369 The wildebeast run was torture. Almost as tough as the Cave of Wonders escape in Aladdin.

I told my 10 year old I’d buy her a brand new PS5 after she beats this game If you know you know 🤷‍♂️

REOPEN ALCATRAZ

@KateXGate I think about how infants start to organize data in their brains; first, through sounds, then shapes and colors. The rest becomes pattern recognition through repetitive exposure. Words/Language aren't even an option until much later. We are training in the wrong order.

Score one for the “intelligence is emergent” team. The first hints of cognition may not appear as “thought” at all but as geometry learning how to organize itself. Intelligence may emerge wherever sufficiently rich relational geometry begins recursively organizing information flow. Not programmed. Formed.

@BSAT_Properties I also apologize for an unacceptable 3 minutes 20 seconds. I will see if a signed certificate and bowing helps.

I was on a train in Tokyo. We stopped between stations. Announcement in Japanese, then in English: "We apologize for the delay. We will resume shortly." The delay was maybe 3 minutes. Not a big deal. When the train started moving again, another announcement: "We sincerely apologize for the delay. We were stopped for 3 minutes and 20 seconds. This is unacceptable. Thank you for your patience." Three minutes and twenty seconds. They measured it exactly. And called it unacceptable. When I got off at my stop, there were station staff on the platform bowing and handing out delay certificates. I took one out of curiosity. It was an official document stating that the train had been delayed by 3 minutes and 20 seconds, signed and stamped. The staff member said in English "for your employer. So they know the delay was not your fault." I said I'm a tourist, I don't need it. He looked confused. "But the delay affected you. You deserve an apology." Three minutes. They were treating a three-minute delay like a major incident. Later I mentioned this to a Japanese friend. They said "oh yes, delay certificates are normal. Trains are supposed to be exactly on time. If they are late, they must apologize." I said three minutes isn't late, it's nothing. My friend said "in Japan, three minutes is late. On time means on time. Not approximately on time." They said the train company probably investigated why there was a 3-minute delay. "They will find the cause and fix it so it doesn't happen again." I kept the certificate. It's framed in my apartment now. A reminder that somewhere in the world, people care about three minutes. © 6IX.

@TiffanyFong Be honest.. you were just reserving a good cell in Alcatraz.

I am NOT a foreign agent for China.

All things considered, you would really expect America to be the one doing this first. Sort of an indictment on everything we've got going on, if I'm being honest. We must create a little Shenzhen within the Mall of San Francisco.

@viemccoy The American one won't have puny little arms

@cixliv @samanfarid I think the person/company who invents the most useful universal joint/actuator will win the robot war. Too many unique parts down the road and you'll have a very expensive maintenance plan. It'll be Mercedes vs Ford except these parts will probably fail a lot more frequently.

@samanfarid historically those who fight against the will of the consumer demand fail. whether you like it or not people want the human form factor.

Yes investors --- go ahead and fund another humanoid company. Best of luck.

@andreysuperior Is he franchising?

Most people see a street. He sees $300-600 per block. A 24-year-old from Chengdu figured out that every hotel, every apartment, every commercial space within walking distance is an untapped asset. One nobody has packaged yet. He straps a rig to his back, walks in, spends twenty minutes scanning the space, and leaves with a file that lets anyone on earth stand inside that room from their couch. The client pastes a link on their booking page. Guests tour the property before they arrive. Cancellations drop. Reviews go up. He gets paid $400 for the scan. $99 every month for hosting. The technology: 3D Gaussian Splatting. Free on GitHub since 2023. The app: Luma AI. Also free. The page he delivers: built by Claude in ten minutes. Total tool cost: $20/month. Month one: $3,500. Month six: $18,000. The streets haven't changed. He just started charging for them.

@MelMacro @KettlebellDan Yo mama so dense, she warps space-time

@KettlebellDan I know there's a "yo mama" joke in there somewhere

If you were developing a simulation of the universe then you would create a force that is inverse square to distance to limit the amount of rendering Then make that force entirely mysterious so the sims couldn’t understand the underlying nature at the quantum level gravity

@cixliv @loomdoop Ok, but they need little Luchador outfits or something.

@loomdoop It’s really not that serious. It’s basically just car racing. Better than people hurting each other for fun.

@BrianRoemmele Does this struggle with the DVRPT problem since all nodes are not considered before optimizing? If there is a time constrained node on the other side of town will it be ignored? Excited to see developments in optimization logic!

Dijkstra’s Algorithm Just Got Dethroned After 41 Years And the Future of Navigation, Logistics, and AI Just Got WAY Faster! Imagine this: For over six decades, Edsger Dijkstra’s legendary algorithm has quietly powered everything that moves data, people, or packets across networks. Google Maps rerouting you around traffic in real time? Dijkstra. Booking the cheapest flight with optimal connections? Dijkstra. Internet routers blasting your cat videos across the globe at lightning speed? You guessed it, Dijkstra. Textbooks declared it unbeatable on sparse graphs since 1984. Even the great Robert Tarjan snagged an award last year essentially saying, “Yeah, this is as good as it gets.” The “sorting barrier” felt like a law of physics. Until now. A brilliant team from Tsinghua University (led by Professor Ran Duan) just dropped a bombshell paper that shatters that 41-year-old ceiling. They’ve created the first deterministic algorithm to beat Dijkstra’s classic O(m + n log n) time bound for the Single-Source Shortest Path (SSSP) problem on directed graphs with real weights. The New Champion: O(m log^{2/3} n) — Mind-Blowingly Faster on Massive Graphs Their breakthrough? They stopped obsessing over fully sorting every node by distance. Instead, they fused the relaxation power of the Bellman-Ford algorithm with a genius “recursive partial ordering” technique. This cleverly shrinks the “frontier” of candidate nodes you need to track, avoiding the full logarithmic sorting hit that’s haunted Dijkstra for decades. On huge sparse graphs (think the web, global supply chains, social networks, or road systems), this translates to significantly faster route-finding. We’re talking real theoretical wins that could cascade into practical speedups as implementations mature. This isn’t some incremental tweak — it’s the first major deterministic improvement since 1984, and it just won Best Paper at STOC 2025. Science is self-correcting in the most exhilarating way possible! Why This Feels Like Magic Dijkstra works by always picking the next closest unprocessed node elegant, but it forces you to maintain a sorted order. The Tsinghua team said: “What if we don’t need the full order right away?” They use divide-and-conquer on vertex sets, bounded multi-source subproblems, and smart pivots to compress the work. It’s like navigating a city by smartly grouping neighborhoods instead of checking every single streetlight one by one. Robert Tarjan himself called it “amazing.” When a legend in the field reacts like that, you know history is being rewritten. What This Means for the Real World • Navigation & Maps: Faster dynamic rerouting on planetary-scale graphs. Traffic apps could feel even snappier. • Logistics & Supply Chains: Optimizing millions of routes in less time = lower costs, greener deliveries, happier planets. • Networking: Internet infrastructure could route packets more efficiently than ever. • AI & Games: Pathfinding in massive virtual worlds or graph-based ML models gets a turbo boost. • Beyond: This cracks open the door for rethinking other “impossible” barriers in algorithms. If we can beat sorting here, what else is waiting? Implementations in libraries like NetworkX or Boost Graph are coming, and the entire algorithms community is buzzing. What a time to be alive in tech! Tsinghua just proved that even the most sacred cows in computer science aren’t untouchable. The sorting barrier? Obliterated. The shortest-path problem isn’t solved, it’s reopened for even greater conquests.

@SciTechera The robot abuse videos will spell our doom

In case you missed it. “A huge robot army is loading..” A Shenzhen-based 6-month old startup, MindOn, released a viral demo of an affordable Unitree G1 humanoid robot with an advanced “AI brain” that enables it to perform household tasks autonomously.
