Israel dropped 200,000 bombs. If they wanted to commit a genocide they would have wiped every person in Gaza from existence. They have a kill percentage of 3.2%. WWII killed approximately 4% of the global population. The Siege of Leningrad killed approximately 25% of the city’s population. The atomic bomb killed approximately 30-40% of Hiroshima’s population instantly. The firebombing of Tokyo killed approximately 5-8% of the city’s population in one night. The bombing was not optimized for killing people. It was optimized for destroying infrastructure tunnels, weapons storage, command nodes, and the physical environment Hamas operated in. They warned civilians before strikes documented: They dropped leaflets, made phone calls, sent text messages telling people to evacuate (documented) They allowed 112,000 aid trucks into Gaza during active combat They facilitated field hospitals They targeted Hamas commanders specifically documented kills of senior Hamas leadership including Yahya Sinwar. No military in history has done more administrative work to avoid civilian casualties while simultaneously fighting an enemy that deliberately hides in hospitals, schools, and mosques and uses its own population as shields also documented, on Hamas’s own video. Tucker Carlson is a moron and a coward and in a debate with someone who’s not aligned with Russian, Iranian and Chinese propaganda he wouldn’t survive one round. Of course all these people are cowards who only invite each other to discuss this issue because anyone with half a brain would wipe the floor with them.

I don't really understand how the LA mayor race is a race at all How is "There was no water in the fire hydrants" not just 100% disqualifying for both incumbents? What is the point of paying taxes if the lowest possible expectations are not met?

It’s true.

@thsottiaux Not a old issue, but I noticed that the option to migrate old Claude sessions and setup isn’t very clean and can lead to broken MCP configs, duplicate plugins (if previously installed from Plugin store), and naive porting of Claude specific vars

What’s something we haven’t fixed in codex for a while and that’s plain annoying?

Ayn Rand response to, "How do we build roads, hospitals etc.? If the government doesn't force taxpayers to do so?"

Today we’re releasing DeepSWE, a new standard for agentic coding benchmarks. On public leaderboards, top models often look relatively close in capability. DeepSWE shows where they actually diverge, reflecting the realistic experience of developers in their day-to-day work.

A house in 1970 cost $23,000. The same house today costs $400,000. Wages since 1970 have grown 4x. House prices have grown 17x. This is not a housing crisis. This is what 56 years of broken money looks like in bricks and mortar.

@AdamBLiv Damn, I feel seen lol.

You start reading weird books. You buy “The Bitcoin Standard” and then “The Fiat Standard” and then you accidentally end up reading Murray Rothbard, and then somehow you’re reading Mises, and then it’s 11:47 PM on a Tuesday and you’re 340 pages into “Human Action” and you’re highlighting passages about praxeology and your wife comes downstairs and asks if you’re coming to bed and you say “in a minute” but you don’t come to bed for two hours because you have just discovered that everything you were taught about economics in college was wrong, all of it, every single sentence, and now you can’t go back, you can never go back, you have been orange-pilled in a way that goes deeper than money, you have been epistemologically orange-pilled, you now believe that John Maynard Keynes was a charlatan and the gold standard was actually fine and the income tax is theft and you can never say any of this out loud at a dinner party ever again.

Elon Musk's first wife once described what it's like to watch him fail. She said he doesn't react the way normal people react. When a rocket explodes, most people in the room go silent. Some cry. Some start calculating the financial damage. Musk pulls out his phone and starts making calls. Not emotional calls. Engineering calls. "What failed. When can we fix it. When's the next launch." His voice doesn't change. His face doesn't change. The rocket that just cost $60 million is already in the past. The next one is all that exists. She said it was the most unsettling thing she'd ever witnessed. Not because he was cold. Because he genuinely wasn't affected. The failure didn't register as failure. It registered as data. An experiment that produced results. Results that inform the next experiment. This is why he wins. Not because he doesn't fail. He fails more spectacularly than anyone in history. He wins because failure occupies zero psychological space. It enters as data and exits as action. Most people lose not because they fail but because they spend weeks processing the failure before acting again. Musk spends zero seconds. The gap between failure and next attempt is a phone call.

Bill Gates has already spent more than $7.6 MILLION creating genetically modified ticks designed to SPREAD in the wild. In 2023, the Gates Foundation awarded Flyttr the cash to “initiate development of a self-limiting tick” designed to spread and control cattle ticks.

@evisdrenova Step 1: Say controversial statement. Step 2: Trigger people on X so they reply. Step 3: Reap the free engagement. 😒

The cursor fall-off is going to be studied for decades. I don't know any engineer who uses them anymore. Not to say that others don't, but it's obvious that they're no longer on the tech frontier. Still, a $60b outcome in 4 years is nothing to sneeze at...

In their defense, most competitors have fairly second rate Windows/Powershell experiences. In my experience, as soon as you want to build something more sophisticated than a web app, most tools like Codex or Claude Code start running against friction with Windows ACLs and permissions

@elonmusk Critical Feedback: Needs native Windows build, not WSL. BUILD is literally the name. Build it for Windows.

Reminder that Grok Build is iterating extremely fast and we are highly responsive to critical feedback. Fixes & upgrades are dropping every day.

@kvickart @elonmusk Grok. The CLI is great, but the model is like Sonnet 4.5 tier in being able to reason through a moderately complex feature or codebase.

@jjstrat3 @elonmusk cursor or grok?

Try it out! (Partially trained on Colossus 2)

@kvickart @elonmusk Spoiler it’s not worth the price tag…

@elonmusk i have too many subscriptions now that I got supergrok to try grok build 😭

@cursor_ai Welp, I already dropped my Claude Max sub and don’t find Grok Build’s underlying model to justify even the promo rate of SuperGrok Heavy, so let’s see how well this compliments my Codex usage.

Introducing Composer 2.5, our most powerful model yet. It's more intelligent, better at sustained work on long-running tasks, and more reliable at following complex instructions. For the next week, we’re doubling the included usage of the model.

@elonmusk It’s an amazing CLI experience for sure, and the planning mode works great. Just need the model reasoning to close the gap so it doesn’t struggle on fixing things like local environment issues

Grok Build is improving like lightning

Dad, what were Democrats like in the 1990s? Volume up 🎧

Elon Musk just defended America better than every politician in Washington combined. Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?” One nation on earth held a weapon nobody else had. Total dominance. Zero competition. No risk of retaliation. Every empire in history that held that kind of advantage used it. Rome. The Mongols. The British. The Ottomans. They conquered until they collapsed. America had a bigger advantage than all of them combined. And it rebuilt the countries it just defeated. Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.” Almost unprecedented? It had never happened before. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded history. The Marshall Plan wasn’t foreign aid. It was the most radical act of restraint any superpower ever committed. America turned its enemies into allies. Turned rubble into economies. Turned surrender into partnership. Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a generation. Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth. Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin. A city in the heart of the nation that just tried to destroy it. That’s not policy. That’s a civilization deciding what it is at the exact moment it has the power to be anything. You’re being told a story right now. That America is the villain of history. You hear it everywhere. Media. Universities. Social platforms. Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.” Every nation on earth has dark chapters. Every single one. The difference is what a country does when nobody can stop it. And when nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities. Musk: “The history of China suggests that China is not acquisitive. Meaning they’re not going to go out and invade a whole bunch of countries.” Probably right. China has historically built walls, not fleets. But the real question isn’t about borders anymore. We’re approaching a moment that mirrors 1945 in ways nobody has fully processed yet. AI is going to give a handful of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look quaint. If someone is going to hold that kind of power, who do you want it to be? The country that conquered when it could? Or the one that rebuilt when it didn’t have to? Every alliance. Every trade route. Every economy. Billions lifted out of poverty. All of it traces back to one act of restraint that had never been done before. And carries no guarantee of being repeated. The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb. It was what it didn’t do after.

Si estás usando npm install, estás en peligro. ¡Así de crudo te lo cuento para que reacciones! Ayer se comprometieron paquetes de TanStack en npm. De las bibliotecas más usadas en el mundo JavaScript. Y de ahí saltó a Mistral, OpenSearch, UiPath, PyPI... Porque muchos ataques no necesitan que importes nada. Basta con una instalación para infectarte. ¿Cómo? Colando scripts como preinstall o postinstall que se ejecutan durante la instalación. Lo importante es que tiene solución: ① Usa pnpm 11 Viene con defensas por defecto contra este tipo de ataques. ② Si sigues usando pnpm 10, npm, yarn o bun Activa minimumReleaseAge y ponle 1440. Evita instalar versiones publicadas el mismo día. ③ Bloquea scripts de instalación por defecto pnpm evita que cualquier dependencia ejecute código en tu máquina solo por instalarla. Por favor, comparte esto para que le llegue al máximo número de personas y paremos la cadena de ataques.

Imagine a father who secures $100K in spot Bitcoin. He holds the asset until the valuation hits a massive $5,000,000. Liquidating the position directly triggers devastating taxes on $4,900,000 of pure profit. So he executes the perfect institutional maneuver instead. He locks the Bitcoin in a legal trust, takes out a collateralized loan against the stack, and lives off the borrowed liquidity. Because he never executed a sale, his tax liability remains at absolute zero. Upon his death, the heirs receive the Bitcoin with a brand new cost basis set exactly at $5,000,000. The government cannot legally touch a single cent of the accumulated gain. This is exactly how generational wealth is permanently secured.
