For a driver born without arms, FSD Supervised is life-changing accessibility “I was born without arms and have driven with my feet my entire life. I’m a fully licensed driver, and traditionally I drove with my left foot on the steering wheel and my right foot handling the gas and brake. My only legal restrictions are automatic transmission and power steering. Over the years, though, the strain from my congenital birth defects has led to significant arthritis in my hips. I drove a Model 3 for the past seven years, and it honestly helped extend my independence in a huge way. Recently upgrading to the Model Y – along with Full Self-Driving – has been a complete game changer for me. It dramatically reduces the physical pressure and fatigue of driving and has helped preserve a level of freedom and mobility that means a great deal to me. Most people understandably think of Tesla in terms of innovation or sustainability, but for some of us, this technology truly becomes life-changing accessibility.” – John F.

.@blocks is building what we think is the first real alternative to hierarchical coordination. For 2,000 years, humans have organized themselves in roughly the same way. AI changes what’s possible: Not a flatter org chart, but a fundamentally different information architecture, organized around a world model rather than a reporting structure. @jack and I wrote about what this looks like in practice, why it's different from past experiments, and why it may reshape how companies of all kinds organize in the coming decade.

I really think voice input is underappreciated. I just bought a USB foot pedal so I don't have to touch my keyboard.

Yes, Brentford's Igor Thiago did claim to the referee that he wasn't offside! 🤷‍♂️😅

As a general purpose technology, AI has all kinds of unexpected uses. Example: this study finds blind users turn to AI to describe sensitive materials (pregnancy tests, checking appearance), realizing that it may not be 100% accurate, but it provides privacy where there was none

@adrianweckler Strongly disagree - eg we’ve been waiting over 2 years for @fibrusbroadband to install fibre due to sheer incompetence on their end. Starlink was up and running in minutes.

- small boat crossings are down since Labour took over - more are being deported - Winter fuel payments were not needed for all pensioners - although current bar is too low - As for cronies remind us which Party took £200k off of a British Muslim then sacked people to install him as Chairman almost instantly

Today, Keir Starmer admitted that things ‘will get worse’ under his leadership. Labour have already failed to control our borders, cut the Winter Fuel Payment for pensioners, and showed disregard for our institutions by appointing their cronies. Labour cannot be trusted.

The last July General Election was in 1945, where the Labour Party, led by Clement Attlee, won a landslide victory, marking the first time Labour won an outright majority in Parliament. #generalelection
