@chrislhayes @dylanmatt The real question is if Apple can pull off running a frontier model or two behind locally on a laptop in the next three years. If so, it’s a race to the bottom.

@dylanmatt A serious question is whether this is winner take all, if not how many models can make it and if there's enough revenue to go around.

For context, this is roughly the same annual revenue as Coca-Cola, Netflix, or General Electric.

@Jthomp72 All about knowing what you’re getting lol. Can’t expect 4 Charles at Chili’s. I enjoyed the first quite a bit.

Mortal Kombat 2 is a lot of fun, don’t listen to the critics, it’s self aware cheese and tons of fun gore. Fights are so well choreographed too. Go see it.

@MatthewCappucci God forbid we got a Thomasville radar though.

This is the most tornado-prone place in the world in terms of total path length/width. Slightly longer average path lengths even than in conventional “Tornado Alley”. Southern Mississippi/Alabama represent the hotspot of virtually every sinister metric.

@SawyerMerritt @IdeasTesla @Starlink @AmericanAir Delta’s WiFi is fine right now, as a Starlink customer.

@IdeasTesla @Starlink @AmericanAir And Delta

37 airlines have now either installed or committed to installing SpaceX's @Starlink on their fleet: • Southwest Airlines • United Airlines • British Airways • Singapore Airlines • Emirates • Qatar Airlines • Air France • Hawaiian Airlines • Alaska Airlines • Virgin Atlantic • Lufthansa • Korean air • Air Baltic • Air Canada • Aer Lingus • Air Busan • Air Dolomiti • Air New Zealand • flydubai • Air Seoul • Asiana Airlines • Austrian Airlines • SWISS Air • Scandinavian Airlines • Gulf Air • Iberia • Discover Airlines • ITA Airways • Vueling • Brussels Airlines • Jin Air • LEVEL • WestJet • Edelweiss Air • JSX • ZipAir • Eurowings Pressure will continue to mount for the airlines that don't adopt Starlink, as they'll lose customers to airlines that have adopted it. I already have friends that actively seek out flights with Starlink because the speed is such a game-changer. As of a couple months ago, over 2,500 airplanes already have Starlink installed, according to SpaceX (includes private planes, business jets and commercial aircraft). That number is likely a decent bit higher now.

@MatthewCappucci What in the Waze?

I guess Siri wanted to go on a side quest.

Wonder why the @FFmpeg boxes are so light? Maybe because it’s simply incredible software written by humans, in assembly, that powers almost every video platform on earth with a ton of codecs and use cases accounted for?

@sbexit261 @theguardrailguy Have you and @theguardrailguy thought about building an app/website you both can track these with? Would be super easy.

Damaged and long neglected guardrail in San Diego County. We need a better system of reporting guardrails coupled with a more rapid response and repair. This is the type of damaged guardrail and slow response & repair that claimed my daughter Jaida's life. I am personally aware of at least 7 other families who have had similar tragic results.

@aijamayrock @neko Actual good use of AI.

I have gotten skin checks every year since I was 15 years old. No one ever noticed anything concerning. I got a scan with @neko when they first launched in London. A few months later, I got a call that they had accumulated data from thousands of people and felt that there was a tiny freckle on my back that could be concerning. It was so tiny - no doctor had ever noticed it. I got the freckle removed. It turned out to be borderline - something that was benign at the moment but had the potential to turn into skin cancer down the line. AI and robotics will save so many lives in the future. I am so excited about the future of healthcare.

@DylanLister88 @asaio87 “Hundreds” lol. Toss 400k or 2M people on it and get back to us. Hundreds isn’t scale, hundreds is less than a good testing harness. I hope you do well, and make all the money, but hundreds isn’t scale.

@asaio87 My vibe coded app has hundred of users, it’s working great

Nobody wants to admit it but "vibecoding" works until your app has actual users. Then you discover what senior engineers have been getting paid for.

@JonathanRoss321 Good code is still not cheap. Boilerplate is cheap. Which saves a ton of time, but at the end of the day, scalable systems still require good code and design, and these models aren’t there yet.

For 50 years, software engineering ran on code rationing. Writing code was expensive, so we rationed it carefully through roadmaps, RFCs, prioritization meetings, and scope reviews. This created a role: the No Engineer. No, that won't scale. No, we don't have bandwidth. No, that's out of scope. No, we need a design doc first. The No Engineer was valuable for 50 years. Every "no" saved real money. Their judgment was the rationing system. LLMs will be the end of code rationing. Code is cheap now. And while the No Engineer is explaining why something can't be done, the Yes Engineer has already shipped three versions of it. If you're a Yes Engineer, the next decade is yours.

@GsuGrinding Should listen to her argue 😳. She’s really really good. One of my favorites regardless of side.

It’s not my style but damn if I’m not growing to love Lisa Blatt

@thenewarea51 @Readycya @Delta @united That day lounge pass is a super nice perk of flying United, at minimum, it makes Delta customers think twice about just defaulting.

They’re all basically the same to me, I’ve had so many great experiences with both over many decades. I do judge on how easy their apps are to use and how easy their mileage programs are to understand. One niche thing about United is, if you have a UAL ticket regardless of status, you can walk into their lounge and pay about $50 for access. Depending on how much time you have, how hunger you are, and how dehydrated you are, you can save a ton of money vs your typical terminal establishments.

I used to pay more money and was 100% loyal to @delta. Now, @United is an equal. I now fly the one with the better connections. Even Paying more, within reason. United is flying high. It’s because of a card-counting CEO who made the biggest, craziest bet of his career. wsj.com/business/airli…

@Austin_Vols In NE GA this week. The number of Dooley signs in front yards is wild.

How the Hell did these people get my number?

@AnaArsonist I have so many random “commands” in my text replacement for all sorts of things. It’s easily one of the best things you can do for your sanity if you’re constantly communicating all day. Everything from email, address, phone to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

a few years ago I set up '@@' as a text replacement for my email address and honestly it might be the highest ROI 30 seconds i've ever spent

@KingNeptune767 Somehow was completely unaware of this news, and my day is starting off very bright because of it.

Not to be confused with the Ace Combat 8 trailer

@AndyHazelton This is literally the same thing that happening to developers. It’s not all great and while I love being someone who is hobby in weather and a CS guy, you learn quickly this limitation.

As AI potentially reduces the barrier to coding and plotting, part of me wonders if things will circle back to where knowing fundamentals and understanding processes is more important in fields like meteorology (and others). For example, today I was working with Claude on converting some NCL plotting code to Python (for our AOML model website) and also adding simulated IR maps. The initial output was "correct" in that it produced something that looked like a satellite image, but it was off in several key areas, and looked more like a microwave satellite channel. Turns out that's exactly what happened (see screenshot), and I was able to work with the AI to get the correct version. Obviously, you need to be able to know enough about code to do some things as well, but fundamentals may become critical again in this sort of environment, to know if what the AI is giving you makes any sense.

@BiloxiShuckers @danharralson @NASA That’s called a Burke Blast for the uninitiated.

Don't worry @NASA, it's not a UFO, just a Blake Burke homer ☄️

@pitdesi @lyft This is why the PIN code feature is so powerful. I was in the middle of a downpour one night, and some dude pulled in started the ride and ended it because it was within like a half a mile or something. Since then, I have pin enabled. Good luck without it.

Alarming how bad @lyft is at fraud detection. It logged a ride from SFO to SF in 3 minutes. The driver never picked me up but claimed he did and I got charged. It should auto-flag an error. When I complained that I didn’t get picked up they sided with the driver Wtf

@Hometime4You @L_33_H Lmao. Bro, my car with UV ceramic tint on literally everything is 130°F in the summer. I have to start it from the app, sometimes twice, to get it reasonable and that doesn’t include the fact you can’t really touch the handles or running boards.

@amusice @L_33_H True, but it shouldn't be pelting you in this face. AC is dry air, which will dry out your skin. The internal climate should just be cool and humidified. So the dash wouldn't need air ducts.

New C class vs New S class? Are Mercedes genuinely okay?

@Hometime4You @L_33_H Brother…. You need A/C.

@L_33_H It's so overstimulating and tasteless. How I'd have it:
