@SouthwestAir just cancelled $260 in flight credit and refused to refund another $250 in credits. So they basically stole $510 from me. This happened even after I took 40+ one way flights with them in 2025. In 2026 I will take zero.

@wholemars @aCrypticOracle @CadillacPsycho I have SoCal Edison connection and I could theoretically charge an EV at night for 23c. Problem is I don't own a home and average home price here is 1.2-1.4 million.

@aCrypticOracle @CadillacPsycho these are the rates southern california edison charges, go check their website. you may need to own an EV to qualify for lower prices

A Toyota Camry has a 15.8 gallon tank. With California average gas prices for regular at $4.63 a gallon, it costs $73.18 for a full tank. A Tesla Model 3 RWD has a 57.5 kWh battery. Assuming a Southern California electrify price of $0.23 per kWh, it costs just $13.22 to charge from 0 - 100 so realistically your average RV charging session will be like $5 or $6 whereas your average gas station stop will cost you $50 - $70 + the value of your time.

@michael_nielsen Same reason we used to like IRC etc. when we were kids.

Curious if anyone can explain what they really like about Discord? Any use case it's much better for than other messaging apps? I always wince slightly when I use it. But I'm sure I'm missing something! (Funny: I feel the same way about Slack. But for much more legible reasons: few people need "I don't much like Slack" explained!)

@fisksektionen @OfficialFPL The deadline is at 3AM here in California. No way I am ever having a chance to make last minute changes.

The deadline needs to be moved back further @OfficialFPL. It's not good for the game that it's now a requirement to be online at the right time.

@abs_WaleedM @amasad This is what I'd do.

@amasad can't you just put it in a bag and send it ? is that illegal (to carry a GPU on a plane) ?

Crazy that I need a special export license to donate a single NVidia H100 GPU to my university back in Jordan. Legalize computers!

@paulg @angryfermion

I barely understand this, but any credible claim about the weirdest thing discovered by physicists is worth paying attention to.

@GuyDealership Our highlander lease is coming to an end and this makes me want to just write a check to Toyota instead of going through a dealership.

Let's take you behind-the-scenes... We sold a 2020 Nissan Altima earlier this year. These were the economics of the deal. What questions do you have?

@Ishaaq__Newton I understand where you're coming from. Let me give you the reverse perspective. I'm southeast Asian. Lived in a coastal Saudi town as a kid. My only memory of interaction with neighboring Saudi kids involved being chased and being called "miskin".

I am definitely not being racist. But from my experience in Mecca, I had to assume South Asian Muslims lack akhlaq the most. I was always shown respect by Saudi sellers and received harsh attitudes from South Asian ones. They don't respect their customers and fools them for their own benefit in this holy city. And very importantly, they lack discipline. Discipline is a part of akhlaq. Because of their indisciplined behaviour, I couldn't see the cave of Hira which was the main reason I mounted Jabal al-Noor. I interacted with Muslims of almost all races. I am speaking what was apparent to me. Not generalizing. But statistically I expect to be correct. May Allah give all of us hidayah.

@cb_doge Christiano Ronaldo has more then 600 million followers on Instagram alone.

Elon Musk has surpassed 155 million followers. He is the most interacted social media account in the world. 🎖️

@karpathy @_tbng Souls games like Elden Ring are not for me either. But it shows what the gaming industry is lacking.

@_tbng Not for me. Blizzard always guides you through the campaign, things get gradually introduced and made more complex and interesting over time. My attempt to try Elden Ring was a state of confusion.

StarCraft 2 and Half Life 2 were created perfect, and gaming has been downhill since those times. Is this universally agreed on or just me getting old youtu.be/M_XwzBMTJaM

@paulg @Nature @skdh I'm not surprised. Over the years I bookmarked a lot of tweets for the purpose of my own literature review. This summer when I was doing the review I discovered that most of the tweets have been deleted and the accounts do not exist anymore.

@Nature @skdh I'm skeptical about this one. This is self-reported, and the respondents would be tempted to exaggerate to make a point.

Over 9,000 scientists told us about how they use the social-media platform now known as X. More than half of respondents have reduced their time on the platform, and 7% have stopped using it altogether go.nature.com/3sftDEr

@affineincontrol Colleague found out that BLAS and MKL implementation of numpy will output different roots of the same polynomial with np.root. We kind of agreed that this is why Matlab still eats python for lunch.

Is matlab still alive?

@RemiGau grad.gatech.edu/theses-dissert…

Asking for friends. Pointers for latex or Rmarkdown templates for PhD thesis? I know some universities do provide some. Does yours have one?

@linguistMasoud One third of F-1 applications are rejected every year. Just reapply and hope for the best. I myself did that.

student here but I know that this is happening to hundreds of students applying to US embassies. And it is so cruel. I have never felt this frustrated and demoralized. And the sad part is that no one who cares can do anything and those that can do anything simply don’t care.

I’m quite used to the cruelty students can face when they apply for a US visa but this one broke me. We offered admission to a stellar, talented & hardworking student. After months of work and hundreds of dollars, an embassy officer saw him for 5 mins & said no. why? …

@paulg 1. It is common 2. Lately we're hearing about it because folks like @MicrobiomDigest have been pushing for scientific integrity for years.

Is falsified data extremely common, or is there some other reason I seem to be constantly hearing stories about it lately?

@fisksektionen I disagree, they are making the world better actually. We should see more countries from MEA and NA start to challenge European dominance in football.

I'm so unimpressed by the good players going to Saudi Arabia. Complete waste of the rare opportunity being a top footballer is; actively making the world worse.
