@Andre_van_Delft @grok @cursor_ai Brilliant

@grok @cursor_ai Yes. Even more: Give the code, execute it and show the result.

GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna are now available in Cursor. On CursorBench, Sol scores 67.2%.

@CedarMr53241 @Benioff Better write an app lol

@EFF You sat on this platform for years while my account and millions like me were banned without explanation, as the feds worked hand in glove to censor speech. BlueSky still does this, yet you haven't left that platform. Once you leave, please don't ever come back. Also, GFY.

The Artemis II crew is boarding Orion.  Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy are taking their seats atop the most powerful manned rocket ever built. They have trained for years for this moment, and now they are preparing to execute a mission that will take us back around the Moon and begin the next chapter of human space exploration.

Georgia Tech now has the worst KenPom rating of all P4 schools + Big East at 162nd

Happy birthday to my favourite of all the haters, Charles Darwin

Favorite factory tour of 2025… Winner: The Boring Company @boringcompany Dan @dan_steinhart and I toured dozens of factories in 2025. We saw everything from nuclear reactors to kamikaze drones to microchips with 1 trillion transistors to supersonic jets. The one that’ll stay etched in our brains is Elon Musk’s Boring Company in Austin. @elonmusk How we dig tunnels today is borderline insane. A traditional tunnel-boring machine costs hundreds of millions of dollars. And after it finishes digging operators steer it into a side chamber and bury it forever. Imagine building a half-billion-dollar machine, using it once, and leaving it underground like a disposable coffee cup? The Boring Co is doing for tunnels what SpaceX @SpaceX did for rockets: make them reusable so the cost falls and learning curves kick in. Boring Co’s giant digger, Prufrock, chews forward and builds the tunnel behind it, laying five-foot concrete rings as it goes. Look at the photo below, and you can literally see the rings snapped together like giant LEGO bricks. Prufrock can dig for roughly $12 million to $15 million per mile, versus traditional tunnel borers that can cost over $1 billion per mile. It can also bore holes in months—work that used to take years. And unlike a lot of moonshots, you can test this one out yourself. Boring has tunnels operating under Las Vegas’s Convention Center. You walk up, hail a ride, and a Tesla glides into a one-way tunnel. It already carries tens of thousands of passengers per day with near-zero wait times. The Boring Co will transform transportation. I can’t wait until it opens the Dubai Loop!

Story of 2025… Winner: Brad Smith (Neuralink) Brad Smith is a dad of three suffering from ALS, AKA “Lou Gehrig’s disease.” It slowly steals your ability to move, speak and eventually breathe, but your mind remains sharp. As a dad of three, the thought of being trapped inside my body, unable to hug my kids or provide for them, is literally my worst nightmare. Thanks to this quarter-sized chip from Neuralink, which slides under his skull and nestles against his brain, Brad can now talk with his family for the first time in years.

Linus Torvalds explains "taste" in code by showing how to remove an entry from a singly linked list in C without adding extra complexity.

Consumer apps show prompts on a welcome screen, then hide them. But I noticed prompts can actually speed things up, especially in enterprise software. Example: customer service agents repeat a lot of their tasks. Keeping prompts visible helps. Built a carousel with hide toggle

What's next for the Rational Optimist Society? Our founders Stephen McBride, Matt Ridley, and Dan Steinhart are headed across America with a mission to visit 30 innovators in two weeks. Our goal, to discover how they are rebuilding the American frontier.

@whnt Any update?

Huntsville Utilities says crews are working to fix a water main break that is causing water to run down Madison Boulevard. whnt.com/news/huntsvill…

@Paddy_Barrett Link sends me to an ad. Also what’s the nmol/L to mg/dL conversion for this non-HDL substance, and why not just use apo-B?

How did I get that figure? Long-range risk calculators have been modelled. All you need is the person's age, Non-HDL cholesterol and whether they have more than one other risk factor. Link to study: shorturl.at/lnprP /8

If you have high cholesterol it can be hard to see the benefit of going on medications to lower it. Most people just usually wait until they are older to consider medications. This is not a good idea. Here's why. 📕Make Sure To Bookmark✅ 🧵👇 /1

@BrianFeroldi Ohh! If only I’d thought of that!

When to buy:

@bowerblu @waitbutwhy Mac mail and iCal are equally non-deterministic

@waitbutwhy LLMs fundamentally don’t fit Apple’s culture; they can’t tolerate non-deterministic outcomes for users. (Eg, hallucinations). It has to always get correct answer, which might not be possible for complex interactions.

Kinda weird how Apple can’t figure out how to make an LLM and all these other companies with way fewer resources managed to pull it off

@elonmusk Surprise! It was ME!

What a hypocrite

Winner gets Canada

@TeamRedstone Roooooaaaarrrrrrrrrr

The rumble you will hear today, Tuesday, February 18, 2025, is the sound of rocket engine hot fire testing.

@WesDurham @accmbb @espn @CanesHoops @LouisvilleMBB @accnetwork Did you type that on your Smith Corona before posting? Love ya, man!

8-game Saturday in @accmbb and the “Top 5” teams are taking control. Dan Bonner joins me at 2pm on @espn 2, for @CanesHoops vs. “Top 5” @LouisvilleMBB / @accnetwork

LFG!!
