"Your medieval ancestors were based warrior-pilled aristocrats" and "your medieval ancestors worked 18 hours a day and all died before 30" are both locked in an endless struggle to determine who got their brain the most fried up

The driver disengaged FSD 4 seconds before impact — the rest was 100% manual driving. So the entire clip was manual driving! I did the math: the driver could have stopped in time from the first frame of the video. Here’s how I reached that conclusion. Debate if you have thoughts. 1. In the very first frame, the truck was 510–560 feet from the concrete barrier. I estimated this frame by frame using the vehicle’s speed on US-69/59 Eastex Freeway and local map data. 2. Speed was a steady ~60 mph. Over the ~6-second clip, distance to impact was estimated using the Cybertruck’s size and how quickly it approached frame by frame. It took ~4 seconds to reach the barrier from the first frame. 3. Cybertruck braking is strong — real-world tests (MotorTrend) show it stops from 60 mph in 126 feet (~176–187 ft from 70 mph per Car and Driver). At 60–65 mph, it needs only ~130–160 feet to stop fully. With ~510 feet available when the driver disengaged, it could have stopped easily, even for a poor driver. 4. Physics did the rest: at that distance and speed, the driver simply ran out of room and panicked. Again, not FSD. All human manual driving error. The Cybertruck could have braked in time based on distance and speed.

Seeing "You're absolutely right" when claude is filling out my tax forms is less than ideal

Earlier today, a user attempted to buy AAVE using $50M USDT through the Aave interface. Given the unusually large size of the single order, the Aave interface, like most trading interfaces, warned the user about extraordinary slippage and required confirmation via a checkbox. The user confirmed the warning on their mobile device and proceeded with the swap, accepting the high slippage, which ultimately resulted in receiving only 324 AAVE in return. The transaction could not be moved forward without the user explicitly accepting the risk through the confirmation checkbox. The CoW Swap routers functioned as intended, and the integration followed standard industry practices. However, while the user was able to proceed with the swap, the final outcome was clearly far from optimal. Events like this do occur in DeFi, but the scale of this transaction was significantly larger than what is typically seen in the space. We sympathize with the user and will try to make a contact with the user and we will return $600K in fees collected from the transaction. The key takeaway is that while DeFi should remain open and permissionless, allowing users to perform transactions freely, there are additional guardrails the industry can build to better protect users. Our team will be investigating ways to improve these safeguards going forward.

U.S. MILITARY MISTAKENLY STRIKES SCHOOL IN IRAN A preliminary U.S. investigation finds the Feb. 28 Tomahawk missile strike on Shajarah Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab was a targeting error. Outdated data from the Defense Intelligence Agency led Central Command to strike a building formerly part of a nearby naval base, killing at least 175 people, mostly children. Officials say the error reflects human and procedural failures, not new technology. Satellite imagery and videos confirm U.S. responsibility. The investigation is ongoing, with questions about why data wasn’t verified. President Donald Trump initially blamed Iran but says he will accept the findings.

Dude I am fucking crying. I put a Halo ISO file in a folder and told Codex to make it playable on Mac. I left it running and I got jumpscared by suddenly hearing the Halo music theme blast out my speakers

2 weeks without smartphone internet significantly improved sustained attention. The effects were similar to being a decade younger.
