@elonmusk @aaronburnett Its better than Hollywood.

@aaronburnett We strive to entertain

SpaceX (fully aware of an impending IPO) set up drones specifically to capture this fireball and chose to livestream it. Let that sink in.

There are geniuses out there just walking around.

@ImperialMaps Brazil per se was also an empire.

The forgotten but eternally relevant scope of the Portuguese Empire.

@pikuma Não foi a Microsoft, foram entusiastas que fizeram isso. A Microsoft tem o repo official para o DOS.

Microsoft open-sources 86-DOS. The old 86-DOS source code dates back to the time before Microsoft bought it. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/0…

@yunachann09 Não existe Português do bem.

você fala português do bem (brasileiro) ou português do mal (português portugal)?

@PrashantByte09 Python

If you had to stick to just one programming language for life, which would you choose? Python JavaScript

@dhh Windows needs to be open source.

The reason agents are so good at Linux is that all 40 million lines of kernel code was part of the pre training. Along with every other open source dependency. This really does make every obscure error message shallow, and the system completely malleable.

Entering Twitter HQ – let that sink in!

We are going to be multi-planetary in our lifetime. LET. THAT. SINK. IN.

@drewcrawford_ URV was the key point for the Plano Real.

Brazil rebuilt its money from scratch in less than a decade. Between 1986 and 1994, the country used five different currencies. Cruzado in 1986, then Cruzado Novo in 1989. Then Cruzeiro in 1990, then Cruzeiro Real in 1993. Then finally the Real on July 1, 1994. In June 1994, the official monthly inflation rate hit 47.43%. Prices were doubling roughly every two months. Five economic stabilization plans had already failed before this one. Finance Minister Fernando Henrique Cardoso (later President) led the sixth. The Plano Real did three things at once. It built a parallel unit of account (the URV) pegged to the U.S. dollar. It locked in a fixed exchange rate to anchor expectations. It cut government spending and raised interest rates to choke off demand. Within 30 days of the new currency launching, monthly inflation fell to 6.84%. By December 1994, monthly inflation was 1.71%. In June 1999, Brazil adopted formal inflation targeting and a floating exchange rate. In 2021, the Central Bank was granted full legal autonomy under Lei Complementar 179. The president of the Central Bank now serves a fixed four-year term that does not coincide with the term of the sitting president of Brazil. This term protection is enshrined in a complementary law, a higher constitutional tier than the ordinary statute that protects the Federal Reserve chair. Most capital allocators still price Brazil as monetary instability. The country that broke 47% monthly inflation in six months trades at a discount built on a memory that no longer exists.
