Noland Arbaugh’s life has been completely transformed “I can control a computer with my thoughts” As the first human to receive a Neuralink brain implant, the man who was once paralyzed after a diving accident is now: • Playing video games for hours using only his mind • Earning a 4.0 GPA while studying neuroscience in college • Running his own business • Building a thriving speaking career with paid keynotes and global appearances He’s traveling the world, inspiring audiences, and even writing a book - all powered by a brain chip What used to be science fiction is now reality Neuralink is not just restoring lost abilities - it’s unlocking the next chapter of human potential

🚨🇮🇷 REINFORCING FAILURE: THE ISLAND STRATEGY Matthew Hoh warns that placing troops on Iranian islands plays directly into the IRGC's hands. Hoh notes the U.S. is unprepared for decentralized combat against cheap, persistent drone threats. According to Matthew, this strategy risks high American casualties for a mere "photo op" victory. @MatthewPHoh

Someone builds a project management tool with Claude Code over a weekend. Ships it. Tweets "just replaced Jira." The app works. One user, happy path, localhost. Then two people edit the same record simultaneously, and the data is silently corrupted. They don't know what an optimistic lock is. They never needed to before. The prototype is maybe 1% of what makes software actually work. The other 99% is what you find after real users show up: race conditions, failed transactions, sessions expiring at the wrong moment, a payment webhook that fires twice and charges someone double. AI didn't cover any of that. It built exactly what you asked for. And the confidence is the worst part. "Just need to adjust a few things before we go live." The few things you need to adjust are the product. That's like laying a foundation and telling people you basically built the house. Vibe coding works. For personal tools, throwaway scripts, and prototypes you'll never put in front of paying users, it's genuinely fast and good enough. I use it. But there's a hard ceiling, and it shows up the moment the stakes get real. Agentic engineering is a different discipline. You're not prompting for code. You're decomposing problems, designing system boundaries, writing specs precise enough that the agent doesn't go sideways. You review everything it builds, because it will make mistakes that only look wrong if you know what correct looks like. You guide it. You catch what it misses. If you don't know what a distributed transaction is, the agent won't save you. It'll generate something broken with complete confidence, and you won't know until production. The hard part of software was never writing the first 200 lines. It never was.

Even though I knew his death was coming, as he told us it would, I still can’t believe he has died. Rest in peace, good and great man, rest in peace.

@elonmusk Shout out to Kyle Dutcher. I bought him his first (and second.. third..) 3D printer in grade school, and now he's helping to design Starship. Empower your kids and watch them learn and grow!

It is such an honor to work with the incredible people at my companies

Anyone else finding that the Code Editor window in Excel (Windows desktop app) won't load? It's grayed out. This is happening to my coworkers as well. I wonder if it relates to the Azure outage? @Office365

Version 0.1 early beta of Grokipedia will be published in 2 weeks

Great work by the SpaceX team!!

@XrmToolBox Enjoy!

This is holidays time🏖️ Do not expect any support from me for the next two weeks. See you!

@TorstenProchnow @elonmusk @SpaceX Is Elon wrong that the U.S. is headed for bankruptcy and that the BBB does nothing to prevent that from happening and, in fact, accelerates it?

Musk’s decision to decommission SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft in response to Trump’s threat to cancel government contracts marks a dangerous escalation. This is no longer just a war of words; it is a direct challenge with real consequences for the nation’s space program and economic stability. The stakes could not be higher, and both men must recognize the gravity of this moment. For years, @ElonMusk has driven innovation through SpaceX, reducing reliance on foreign space programs and advancing America’s position in the cosmos. Decommissioning Dragon jeopardizes critical missions, from satellite launches to ISS operations, and could set back progress by years. Trump’s initial statement may have been a negotiating tactic, but it has triggered a reaction that could harm the country far more than either intended. This feud is spiraling out of control, and the Republican Party risks being caught in the crossfire as supporters grapple with divided loyalties. The solution is clear: Musk and Trump need to speak directly and resolve this conflict. A phone call between the two could de-escalate tensions and prevent further damage. Musk’s focus on long-term fiscal responsibility and Trump’s drive for immediate wins can coexist, but only if they find common ground. The country cannot afford to lose the contributions of either figure, nor can it withstand the chaos of their rivalry. This is a pivotal moment. Both men have the power to shape the future, but their current path leads to mutual destruction. For the sake of national interests, they must set aside pride and work together. The GOP, already strained by this rift, cannot endure a prolonged battle between its most influential voices. Cooler heads must prevail.

@RajYRaman Haha. So true.

LOL. (I'm actually about to cry.) More #Dataverse virtual table fun with the Virtual Table Connector Provider. I'm presented with the wonderful "An unexpected error occurred." on the last page of the wizard. So bad. Opening a support ticket...

Eating, solved. Full money back guarantee on the Gumroad PDF version if this is not the single best book ever on the general principles of diet and exercise. ➘

@RajYRaman I had to @grok this. Now that I know what it is, I agree it's pretty cool. :)

Thank you @fireflyspace for including my son on this. He enjoyed his time there a lot. Great work to the entire team!

@TheBrainTech I encounter something new that relates to Power Platform on a daily basis, so what's great about TheBrain software/service is that I now have a place to quickly store and associate that information. I can even apply a tag to it, like "To Research", for later follow-up.

@TimADutcher is off to a good start with a new visual map of Microsoft's Power Platform.

Using @TheBrainTech software to create a mind map of Microsoft's Power Platform. Why? Because the platform is massive, and it hurts my real brain to keep track of all of it. 🤯Here's a look at the top level "thoughts" I have so far.

@elonmusk My son is helping us get to Mars with @SpaceX and I couldn’t be more proud.
