The competition for SpaceX just lost a lot of orders for satellites to orbit.
Blue Origin's rocket (owned by Jeff Bezos) just exploded on the pad.
The SpaceX near monopoly on putting satellites in orbit will extend a few more years.

@ApoStructura But what background music will go with this? The hopeful and galactic tones of Star Trek or the dark, menacing, and existential melodies of Bladerunner?

I love that SpaceX is becoming the classic tech megacorp from sci fi.
The only thing missing is a badass hq tower

SpaceX has almost finished writing V1.0 of an in-house AI training stack in C that exact-maps to 220k GB300s with 800G NICs, making heavy use of pipeline parallelism and getting as close to bare metal as possible. The potential speed improvement vs JAX for large training runs is over an order of magnitude.

@ChuckLynchlich And let's put this into a different perspective. How many seniors were denied life saving health care because of this? How many couldn't afford crucial meds because this inflated the price? And this is just one of thousands of examples of fraud.

@TheLaurenChen My brain can't even comprehend the "stacks of cash" thing. Getting a full ride at a nursing school would be infinitely more valuable.

@florida_grand @Wawa I paid $3.59 at Sam's Club today. It's better than the $4.05 from a few weeks ago.

Let’s see how long this lasts. #gas

@GageUniverse @TheCriticalDri2 No Creative Writing degree ever put food in the table unless it's paid for with food stamps.

Dark Horse comics workers have form Union, push for Diversity.
Their goals:
Democracy: Our voices should be heard and valued, with fair representation.
Diversity: Our work environment and publication titles should foster an inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels respected.
Equity: We must collectively address each other’s individual needs, and work to reduce systemic inequality.
Solidarity: We are strongest together. We stand together.
Transparency: We are committed to safety and approachability in our work environment through clear communication and fellowship.
"The looming uncertainty from recent layoffs, wage/hiring freeze, change in leadership power, TFAW’s closure, emergence of artificial intelligence, and return-to-office policies (despite their economic impact on employees) have fueled us to organize and collectively address our concerns."
They gave management a deadline of June 3 to formally recognize the union.

@IngrahamAngle Actually, what if we used RFID tagged bullet shells to track illegal firearms? You could introduce the ammo into the black market. Police could then scan for them from their vehicles.

Seriously though, why is there something borderline psychoactive about this specific set of motifs? Why pools? Why no windows? Why the pastel colours? It feels suspiciously like an arbitrary code execution exploit on the human mind.

@bonchieredstate Not in this case though. She saved the first guy who crashed from injury.

🚨 THE CLOSEST FINISH IN INDIANAPOLIS 500 HISTORY!
FELIX ROSENQVIST takes the checkered flag in one of the most insane finishes we’ve ever seen! 🏁

@elonmusk @QuantumGuard17 Agreed. There should be an option opposite of appeal that expedites the punishment.

@QuantumGuard17 His execution should be immediate. No waiting for years.
