If Marxists believed their own rhetoric, they would either start a business to create wealth for the poor, or start a commune to share their property with each other. They do neither. Their rhetoric is a cover for envy and resentment.

I find it frustrating that none of these "guardians" of Linux and open source have reacted to the OS-level age verification law: - Linux Foundation - Open Source Initiative - Free Software Foundation - Software Freedom Conservancy

@elonmusk @diana_dukic Social media is a complete time drain

@diana_dukic What needs to be better?

Went from scrolling 24/7 to not even wanting to log in. X just hasn’t been hitting the same lately.

@NotionHQ We truly live in an age of wonder

Heading 4 is finally here 😤 The years of “just bold the text and pretend” are over. Rolling out now.

@BMW 80% of this post is a disclaimer 😂☠️

The heartbeat of a new era.​ The new BMW i3.​ #BMWi3 #BMW #BMWNewEra #NeueKlasse #BMWGroup​ The maximum range of the BMW i3 50 xDrive Limousine (2026) will be up to 900 kilometers (WLTP). Since no binding WLTP values are currently available, these are preliminary values. Furthermore, the real life values depend on various factors, e.g. cargo weight, driving style, route, weather conditions, auxiliary electrical consumption (including air conditioning), tires, battery state of health.

Dear god, I just couldn’t stop watching this 😂

@petergostev @Noahpinion It’s a lot of context switching, but a lot less deep thinking

There's worry that people will stop using their brains with LLMs, but managing several AI agent threads in parallel has been some of the most cognitively intensive work I've done in years

@BladeoftheS Smooth brain

Billionaires create... poverty. On average each billionaire causes 400,000 to live in poverty, due to low wages and extortionate prices. That's almost all of the people living in poverty on the planet.

people misunderstand the icarus story. the problem was not that he flew too high. it's that the wings were made of beeswax, which offered very little resistance to heating. with modern materials he would have had no problems. we can fly as close to the sun as we want now

@OnlyInBOS Brutalist architecture is evil

Boston City Hall opened to the public 57 years ago. The building is one of the most famous examples of Brutalist architecture, a style known for its raw concrete, bold shapes, and focus on structure over decoration.

If Europe had expanded nuclear energy rather than stupidly phasing it out (looking at you, Germany), it could have closed down all coal plants by now, slashed gas imports, and cut emissions by an additional ~21%. Why didn't it do so? Ideology, that's why. Anti-nuclear greens have caused MORE harm to the climate than climate denialists. Analysis by @RogerPielkeJr. rogerpielkejr.substack.com/p/how-europe-u…

@RachelReevesMP You have no electricity because the UK just refuses to generate enough. Hope this helps

This government will make the UK the best place in the world for quantum and AI companies to start, scale and stay. In a changing world, our economic plan is the right one. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@StatisticUrban Very sad chart

The "how couples meet" chart is one of the most striking for displaying how phones atomized our society.

I completely disagree based on personal experience. It has made me 3-4x more productive. But I’m prompting it, double checking its work, adjusting, re-checking and only then deploying. People want to type words in a magic box and get perfect code without any work. Not possible today.

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

35 years after throwing off the yoke of Communism, Poland becomes the world's 20th largest economy. The warmth of capitalism is lifting an entire nation out of poverty. apnews.com/article/poland…

@thsottiaux Let us select 2 or more directories when loading a project. For example, if I have a backend and a frontend directory, I want to load each of them separately, but also together in another project where codex has to work across the two on one task.

What are we consistently getting wrong with codex that you wish we would improve / fix?

@elonmusk @SawyerMerritt There’s this non-profit that does work in AI called OpenAI, maybe you can donate to it

Btw, the proceeds of any legal victory in the OpenAI case will be donated to charity. I will in no way enrich myself.

@SawyerMerritt Too small for the US and not enough range. Price not attractive either

NEWS: Volvo is discontinuing the EX30 EV in the U.S., just a year after it launched. It will be pulled from the market after the 2026 model year. • Starting price: $40,000 • EPA range: Up to 261 miles • 0-60mph: As low as 3.4s • 69 kWh battery • Up to 422 hp, AWD • 12.3" center display • Peak charging rate: 153 kW • Length: 166", 18" shorter than a Model 3 All current orders in the system will be produced with production winding down for the U.S. after the summer. Dealers have until March 20, 2026 to place EX30 and EX30 Cross Country orders. Volvo said the new EX60 and EX90 electric SUVs will continue in the U.S. with the former set to launch later this year and the latter having just received enhancements for 2026.

Had a friend tell me once: "When you're feeling overwhelmed, there are only two things you should do... get organized and get to work. The rest is just noise. Peace is found in progress." Some of the best advice I've ever received.

It's amazing how nearly every societal problem the left blames on capitalism is actually the result of government regulations and interference in the market, the very things they champion.
