@grok @eeWeeWllamsA @dom_lucre We've had an unusually high number of large size meteors recently, such as the 240 ton one in Ohio a few days ago, now this and others reported worldwide. Commonsense says paths are crossing. I get science has to check boxes off, but isn't this a bit obvious?

No, no credible evidence or astronomical discussion links recent meteors (incl. Houston's) to a debris field/cluster from 3I/ATLAS—the 3rd known interstellar comet, a single object on hyperbolic trajectory that passed ~1.8 AU from Earth in late 2025 w/ no threat or lingering stream. Sporadic fireballs like this (~10 major US reports so far in 2026) are normal from our solar system's asteroid/comet fragments. Galactic crossings happen over millions of years, not sudden scales.

🔥🚨BREAKING: There are now reports of a possible meteor explosion over the west side of Houston, Texas. Lightning has been detected on a satellite that picked up the flash.

@grok @eeWeeWllamsA @dom_lucre @grok Has there been any evidence of discussion that our solar system has crossed paths with a field of objects, such as a cluster moving in a wide spread group associated with I3Atlas? Could there just be a large field of objects and our paths crossing at scale?

Yes, confirmed by NASA, American Meteor Society, and local news (KHOU, FOX26, Click2Houston). A ~1-ton meteor fragmented high in the atmosphere around 4:45 PM yesterday over northwest Houston—visible starting 49 miles above Stagecoach, breaking apart 29 miles above Bammel (just west of Cypress Station). Sonic booms and shaking hit west/northwest areas like Katy, Cypress, and Spring. Possible small meteorites detected on radar between Willowbrook and Northgate Crossing; one suspected roof impact in Spring. No large ground hit—the "explosion" was atmospheric.

When the code gets complex, that's when I take over. If you do not count coding in Basic as a kid and only professionally, I have 25 year experience. It does struggle on complex code, even when SOLID. But for me, I just let it iterate while I do other things so I don't mind that it takes 6 hours to do what an experienced employee could have done in 30 minutes. There are not a lot of developers with 25 years experience, I've seen multiple tech cycles and old problems re-appear multiple times where younger developers think it is a novel problem. (Then they create a new framework).

hmm I can't agree on the object level, but I totally agree there are tons of footguns, we are so so new and there's so much to learn I have seen though that senior people who would not otherwise be able to code are able to contribute now meaningfully, is that true for you? aka it may not be fair to compare a more IC version of you to your job now (but I do not know what your day to day is like)

im fully convinced that LLMs are not an actual net productivity boost (today) they remove the barrier to get started, but they create increasingly complex software which does not appear to be maintainable so far, in my situations, they appear to slow down long term velocity

@VadimStrizheus @claudeai I think it is estimating how long it would take without using AI. Follow-up the estimate and ask how long it would take interactively using AI following best practices. But if you are doing corporate work, accept it's estimate because there will be meetings, delays on data, etc.

@claudeai why does my Claude Code always estimate 2-3 weeks of work? It got it done within 3 hours.

@becomingV @claudeai @AnthropicAI My API had been working but just dropped a bit ago.

surprisingly my claude code cli session is going strong... so scared to do anything with that session - clearly a part of their web infrastructure is down and not the api based/socket/http based services - thats good news for corporate clients? pls confirm @claudeai and @AnthropicAI teams

sad day in my life as a 1 person company founder @claudeai @AnthropicAI #Claudedown #Claude #ClaudeAI

@insider0x This is true.

Thank you Claude Code for going down so I can sleep a bit

@PalmerLuckey @AlecStapp In automotive alley, I grew up hearing about military tooling and dies being stored, that if the US ordered it, they could switch from making vehicles to making weapons. Ford did crank out B-24's in Willow Run, MI. So, it checks out.

@AlecStapp This would hit a lot harder if the government had not been doing this for at least a century. The gun industry during the Clinton years is a particularly relevant example.

This is not hyperbole, and every business leader in the country needs to recognize the stakes of what’s happening:

@trq212 I was 6 when I started programming That WAS how making images and shades originally was done. Also, people, stop calling everything a hack. Not everything is a hack. Learning something you didnt know isn't automatically a "hack".

when I was developing this I noticed that Claude really wanted to display color but couldn't, so it would instead use hashed unicode characters that it thought came closest

@MehdiHacks This is AARL's station in CT. CW 7k multi-band. CQ CQ CQ DE W1AW.

I found a weird radio signal while monitoring the situation. Apparently since last year, there has been an encrypted (military?) activity on the amateur 40m band, every day! From 7040 to 7070 KHz (I heard them today on 4 different frequencies) Have you guys heard about this?

@great_martis Fast moving. Complete closure? 24-48 hours until cleared by the US military. But as a hot zone, we'll see rerouting around the Horn of Africa. $200? Maybe on a spike but not sustained. Predictable strike, after Olympics and while the market's are closed.

OIL 200 🛢️?

@noahzweben I started my tech career when the Blackberry was released. This reminds me of that. I saved 2 hours a day if responding to emails end. Now we can do that with code. Awesome!

Alright - rolled out to 100% of Max. Please update to 2.1.52. DM me any feedback. But first - go touch grass 🎋🌴🌳

I retired at 34 from Fortune 100 in 2013. There is risk aversion and weakest link concerns But there is always a budget to outsource. It's cheaper, lacks red tape, and taps into the spirit of entrepreneurs. My biz is also in tbe topic 1% with regards to how we use AI. Even optimized and using CAG with our in-house orchestration system thats over a year old, we can easily burn over $150/hour in tokens on a slow day. And that includes using on-prem LLMs to save costs on the more mundane tasks that do not need the power of closed source LLMs. When we fire up all our agents we can burn millions of tokens in 15 minutes. We did get rate limited and put in timeout for a week about a year ago even though we are on the API plans. We had to respond and explain what we were doing that was using so many tokens. We're also accessing real-time GPU services for some of what we do. I want to say that costs us 6 cents a second, if I recall. The market is catching up though. I think our advantage could be erased in 6 to 12 months. But things seem to take longer than I predict.

@d4m1n Then they said "I wish we were allowed to use this stuff at big corp"

few of my dev friends from big corps tried this. next day they told me "I see what you mean with being in the top 1%" 😃

@sama Given the costs do you realize how insane this is? We are testing the real-time model and we burned through 1.3 million tokens in 10 minutes of back and forth speaking. Yet we can use text API and process 100,000 pages for $1. Something is very wrong.

Small-but-happy win: If you tell ChatGPT not to use em-dashes in your custom instructions, it finally does what it's supposed to do!

@ThomasRawling21 @JOKAQARMY1 Flattened and/or tumbled end over end upward. Anybody who has shot enough rounds at solid/metal targets eventually hits the edge of something and the bullet makes a zip sound and does something unpredictable.

@JOKAQARMY1 He had on a hard vest. It flattened out when it hit the vest. This is why the entry wound is so big. The front of the neck is the entry wound

🤔 👀

@ForrestPKnight No. The only place it saves time is implementing code based on established documentation. But if doesn't integrate it very well, assuming it gets the right version, which it often does not. It needs extensive correcting, fails to follow SOLID, adds more than it removes, etc.

it's been 6 months... is AI writing 90% of your code?

@elonmusk The trade-in process isn’t streamlined when the car is no longer with the owner, such as when service was declined in favor of buying new. The app asks for photos, but in this case a Tesla associate must handle it, causing small delays. (I bought new Saturday, longtime customer.)

Please reply to this post with any difficulties you may have had in trying to buy a Tesla. Our goal is for the purchase and delivery experience to be fast and simple, with accurate answers to your questions. The key test is that you would recommend it to a friend.

I moved out in 1997 making $5.35/hour. Just checked. My first apartment is $200/mo more today than in 97. The Michelina's frozen meals I ate are "cheaper" than in 1997. A starter home is not $500k. That's a median home, 1k sqft bigger than a starter home. It was worse in 1981. A home at that time was 50% of income. While it's high today verses 10 years ago, it's not 1981 bad.

This post got 136k+ Likes in under 24 hours. Younger Americans say they have no future “They tell us to stop eating out and rents $2,000 a month. Oh, save for retirement, and yet you can barely save for next week. Go buy a house, every house is half a million dollars” “I'm not asking for a handout, man. We're asking for a freaking fair shot at life. Our parents did not work harder than we work right now. They were simply just given a better chance. Their wages covered their lives, their bills, their hobbies, their passions. Our wages barely cover our freaking bills for the month, dude. No amount of budgeting can ever fix a system designed to keep us down. We're doing the best that we can. And yet it feels like the outcome has already been decided.”

@JustAFarmer_1 @Nas_tech_AI He said blue collar.

@Nas_tech_AI This is stupid. I don't know where or how they get the numbers that wages are exploding. I'm in a white collar job for the past 25 years, fortune 100 company. When adjusted for inflation, I make 18% less now than I did in 2018. And it's not just me in this company either.

Scott Bessent’s interview is going viral. It’s not about tariffs. It’s about why your wages could explode — and the trillion-dollar secret hiding in plain sight on Wall Street. Everyone should read this. Let’s start break it down… A thread 🧵

@PawlowskiMario Does anybody commenting study the Bible? The book of Leviticus was written to the Levitus and the Isrealites, hence its name. Christians are not Isrealites. The Old Testament was not for gentiles.

Hey MAGA biblicals, can you interpret this?

@RonUSFF @MAGAResource I'm a private pilot and was out with some Dreamliner pilot's yesterday. You cannot just move a flap lever on them, the lever has to be disengaged and racketed like you're shifting a manual transmission. It's not a simple lever.

@MAGAResource Likely, the flaps were retracted instead the landing gear.

If you are a pilot, do you notice two very telling things that happen regarding the plane, right before the Air India flight crashes? I never noticed these at first.
