“We spotted nine Polymarket accounts, all connected, who made, collectively,$2.4 million betting almost exclusively on U.S. military operations,” says Nicolas Vaiman, co-founder of the small data analytics firm Bubblemaps. “And now here's the crazy part: 98% win rate.” cbsn.ws/4wwp0T7

@Tesla_AI And how long before the over 3 million HW3 models get an update? What can we expect to pay for the inevitable hardware upgrade needed to fulfill the promises made by Elon?

New release of FSD Supervised now starting to roll out This update brings 20% faster reaction time to further increase safety, among many other improvements Full release notes below Full Self-Driving (Supervised) v14.3 includes - Upgraded the Reinforcement Learning (RL) stage of training the FSD neural network, resulting in improvements in a wide variety of driving scenarios. - Upgraded the neural network vision encoder, improving understanding in rare and low-visibility scenarios, strengthening 3D geometry understanding, and expanding traffic sign understanding. - Rewrote the AI compiler and runtime from the ground up with MLIR, resulting in 20% faster reaction time and improving model iteration speed. - Mitigated unnecessary lane biasing and minor tailgating behaviors. - Increased decisiveness of parking spot selection and maneuvering. - Improved parking location pin prediction, now shown on a map with a (P) icon. - Enhanced response to emergency vehicles, school buses, right-of-way violators, and other rare vehicles. - Improved handling of small animals by focusing RL training on harder examples and adding rewards for better proactive safety. - Improved traffic light handling at complex intersections with compound lights, curved roads, and yellow light stopping – driven by training on hard RL examples sourced from the Tesla fleet. - Improved handling for rare and unusual objects extending, hanging, or leaning into the vehicle path by sourcing infrequent events from the fleet. - Improved handling of temporary system degradations by maintaining control and automatically recovering without driver intervention, reducing unnecessary disengagements. Upcoming Improvements - Expand reasoning to all behaviors beyond destination handling. - Add pothole avoidance. - Improve driver monitoring system sensitivity with better eye gaze tracking, eye wear handling, and higher accuracy in variable lighting conditions.

@SawyerMerritt @grok Claude says: Unfortunately, the short answer is no — not anytime soon for the full v14.3. Its full form is targeting HW4-equipped vehicles first. For HW3 owners, a lesser version called FSD v14 Lite is expected, but that release isn't anticipated until around late June 26

@elonmusk Her district in 83% non-black and the 17% that is includes many non-Somalian African Americans. Your Great Replacement mindset humbles you.

Elon Musk@elonmusk·
This has been happening for years. Ilhan Omar is the most obvious example. A large number of relatively recently arrived Somalis will elect only a Somali to Congress in that Minnesota district. This is much more subtle, but just as bad, in many other parts of America.
Arthur MacWaters@ArthurMacwaters

How is this not treason: 1. incentivizing illegal immigration by vastly expanding welfare and giving it to non-citizens 2. keep borders open 3. create fast-tracks from asylum to citizenship, allow mail-in ballots, and eliminate photo-ID for voting 4. win elections 5. repeat until one-party rule I used to think this was an exaggeration But after Elon's time at DOGE and @nickshirleyy 's investigation in Minnesota, I think this taxpayer-funded vote-laundering program is far more systemic than we think It very nearly succeeded at a national level. If the fraud and electoral loopholes aren't eliminated, it still has the potential to.

@mikepat711 @Brady69696 I’ve ran FSD since you were most likely to come to a screeching halt at 60 on the highway if it misdetected a shadow of the overpass. You bitches don’t even comprehend what commital to FSD actually means

Barack Obama@BarackObama·
Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.
Redistricting Action@redistrictact

The White House is continuing to pressure states to gerrymander their congressional maps because they are afraid of voters holding them accountable for their unpopular policies. This is a decisive moment for our democracy. Take action to fight back against this power grab. ⬇️

@BrettYokom @jm_ziegler For an Oakland only election I was able to use CA AD 14 as a comp as it includes much Montclair and into Rockridge, but the Price recall was countywide (during a general election) so I cant isolate the hills. Turnout in the 14th was robust at 81.5% with almost 50/50 for/against.

@marcwest @jm_ziegler Thanks, I appreciate that. I got my numbers wrong I guess. I was sure that Montclair's voting pattern had still been along progressive lines. What about the Price recall?

So one of the last places in Oakland that people could feel safe shopping and dining is dead. Yesterday Montclair had three armed incidents including in Safeway. Now this today. While people were trying to enjoy Farmer's Market this brazen s**t was happening.

Gutfeld: We don't need more information… What is interesting here is why it's only this happening on the left and not the right? Jessica: What about Melissa Hortman? Gutfeld: Did you know her name before it happened? None of us did. None of us were spending every single day talking about her Jessica: So she doesn't matter? Gutfeld: Don't play that bullshit with me

@BrettYokom @jm_ziegler I just wanted you to know that in the Oakland portion of CA Assembly District 14 the turnout numbers were over double what you stated and the percentage of registered voters who voted for Taylor was 3x what you stated, I wasn't commenting on the activism rates in the hills.

Well I lived in Oakland from 2010-2020 and don’t recall any Montclair contingent being the voice for change at City Hall or Oakland in general … always seemed in lockstep with the worst of Oakland. If that’s not true, I guess you all have to get much louder at the meetings 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
