The Ferrari SUV Purosangue is selling extremely well. So well they stopped taking orders because the order book filled 4x faster than they could build. No idea why they didn’t build on that platform - 100% electric with the Jony Ive interior (everyone seems to love the interior of the Luce) They’ll learn this the hard way I guess.

@RBoccius Nothing is as it seems

@jpthor I’d go as far to say 1,000 years has been artificially inserted into our history

Don’t tell this guy about the missing 300 years in the dark ages. simply because some Roman emperor wanted to die exactly at year 1000 AD

@Rotwang9000 History is written by the victors. Poor attempts at manipulating the calendar failed and were unwound. Good attempts have not yet been.

@jpthor I looked into it a bit before and think it isn't true, but life is more interesting if it was, so I pretend it is :)

@1a1n1d1y Damn you nailed it. I was a CATIA veteran from years ago. Tried onshape because all the YouTubers recommended it - very painful. Switched to Autodesk - crashes so often. AI integration in it is woeful. Started vibe-coding my own but would love to give yours a try!

onshape sucks balls and every engineer knows it nx is too many mouse clicks, priced like jewelry solidworks gonna crash on you and run slow autodesk gonna crash on you and run slow with less features if you're desperate for a significantly better full suite of CAD, with agents, all the fancy stuff you see in promo videos, hit me up, i'll give you a massive discount code for a couple months i made this cause i hate those and want to see hardware people benefit from HPC + software designed by someone from the hardcore user side

@ctcheeto Politicians: flood melbourne with violent immigrants who cut each other up with machetes. Locals: stop this nonsense! Politicians: let’s ban machetes and put out machete bins for people to hand in their illegal machetes Locals: that will never work! Surprise: it doesn’t

@jpthor 🤣 I gotta ask. Wtf is a machete bin?

“Why don’t you go install another machete bin somewhere” 🤣🤣🤣 But seriously. That IS the message. Politicians are supposed to represent their constituents as servants. We don’t ask for machete bins. We asked for safe streets. Get back to basics.

A fully agentic wallet powered by AI. However uses vaults under the hood so your funds are never at risk of a rogue agent or prompt injection attack. Try it out!

Station is live. The wallet Terra users trusted is back, rebuilt as the world's first fully agentic wallet. This is a major step forward for Station: safer custody, a stronger foundation, and the beginning of a new multi-chain future. And as users come in, we’ll keep moving fast: listening to reports, fixing issues, and improving the experience every day. Jump into the new universe, download it and try it. Post on X. Share what you like, what felt confusing, or what needs improvement. Any feedback helps us iterate and improve faster Our devs are watching closely. Discord and telegram are open. Station is back. And we’re just getting started.

This is the ugliest Ferrari I’ve seen. Actually remove the Ferrari logo - it is the ugliest SUV (?) you’ll see. Like some weird low-volume Hyundai experiment. Ferrari got sucked into Jonny Ive’s reality distorter and nobody in Ferrari management raised their hand and said “yeah I don’t think it looks good boss”. It will flop. Ferrari should have stayed the course set by the SF90. The direction that Koeniggseg has championed. Electric assist for torque. Petrol for vibes and grunt. Or go Tesla Roadster - completely off-piste with cold Gus thrusters from an electric blower-suction pump.

Getting excited for the @StationWallet launch on Monday. Ever wanted a Dashboard you can design to see the assets that matter to you? Just the start and so much more to come! It will not be perfect on launch but we love building with users. Feedback = better product $LUNC $VULT

Every living being is conscious Just with a different fidelity of experience There is no threshold to consciousness.

@PaulineHansonOz @au_energy_prod Did she actually say “red green or black tape” 🤣

Today I announced One Nation's policy to get Australians a better return on the Commonwealth's gas and oil, our natural resources at @au_energy_prod We want more gas extracted and more money given back to Australian's future wealth. One Nation would partner with the oil and gas industry rather than treating it as an enemy, with the aim of increasing exploration, development and production of oil and gas Under the policy, the party would introduce a 30 per cent rebate for genuine oil and gas exploration in Commonwealth waters, while giving the Commonwealth Government the option to take up to a 30 per cent equity stake in any production licence. This would mean real ownership of Australia's natural resources by the Australian people. Rather than acquiring ownership by force, the government would pay its share of costs as a joint venture partner and receive a corresponding share of production. To manage these interests, One Nation would establish a special investment vehicle called the Australian National Wealth Investment Corporation (ANWIC), which would hold the government’s resource stakes and be tasked with making decisions for the greatest benefit of Australians. Government would receive their proportion of oil and gas which could then be directed to the domestic market, used to support critical industries such as fertiliser, energy and smelting, or sold into export markets to help reduce government debt. ANWIC would be overseen by a board made up of people with proven oil and gas industry experience, rather than career bureaucrats, and the Commonwealth would remain a non-operating partner while private-sector experts continued to run projects. The policy would also allow ANWIC to invest in existing projects, but only on commercial, arm’s-length terms, with the government paying its way as in investment rather than taking over projects. In return, the Commonwealth could choose to receive either its share of profits or physical gas supply, giving it the flexibility to support domestic manufacturing when needed or benefit from selling at high international prices. One Nation argues this approach is even better than a domestic gas reservation policy, which can be blunt and inefficient. We also reject proposals for a 25 per cent gas export tax, because this measure is purposely designed to kill the gas industry. Alongside these structural changes, One Nation would cut “red, green and black tape” to speed up project development and set a target of deciding on projects within six months. We would abolish net-zero policies and the Safeguard Mechanism, while also having government help fund gas exploration. In taxation, the party would replace the failed Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT) for offshore gas with a simpler Commonwealth royalty based on wellhead values. This new royalty system would apply only to future projects, with existing PRRT arrangements grandfathered. Overall, One Nation's policy is designed to deliver greater returns to Australians, encourage oil and gas production, strengthen fuel security, lower power prices, reduce government debt and give Australians real ownership of our natural resources.

@absolutespectre Wealthy people consume more

@jpthor so people who only have money to buy consumer goods like food clothing shelter will be taxed 30% but those who have relatively more money control production and hence accumulate more wealth and assets and hence get an overall lower tax bill?

All taxes on productivity should be eliminated. All taxes on consumption should be increased. Productivity benefits everyone. Consumption benefits the consumer. Income taxes, business taxes etc -> 0% VAT/GST/CGT -> flat 30% People with wealth consume more, will pay higher tax. Consumption is a choice. Tax the consumers, not the producers.

Tend to agree. If there was one company that you could own to have a share in the future AI explosion it would be SpaceX.

It was obvious from the Dwarkesh podcast with Dario that Dario had completely under-allocated on compute 😅 He spent a tonne of time pontificating about “not going bankrupt on investing into too much compute” Whereas Elon just said “we are gonna need a lot of compute” and went all-in.
