@brian_armstrong I'm from the UK and have literally zero need for this product. Not sure why this is a thing.

Stablecoins are the best form of money; they're coming to the UK.

@AssassinLV91 @Martin_Adams @JamesMelville Lemme guess, city person?

@Martin_Adams @JamesMelville For these roads - I would say definitely should have limited speed - as two cars driving at 60mph == 120mph diff which will 100% mean death of both drivers.

“Thousands of Brits have backed a call to halve the national speed limit from 60mph to 30mph on single carriageway roads.” This is absolutely ridiculous for so many different reasons.

@Martin_Adams @JamesMelville it's to keep the hollibobs on their toes.

@JamesMelville I'm always fascinated by single track roads with blind corners where you're allowed to go 60mph

@AutismCapital I thought it said "John Temu" at first. Might be nothing

Can any Apple Autists Ternus pill us? What does John Ternus stand for? What's his hardware philosophy, vision, etc.? What products does he care about? What kind of leader is he?

@Hesamation "write me the curl and use this bearer token. I can't be arsed to type today"

feeding all API keys and credentials to Claude so it makes the .env file.

@leicesterliz you can't simultaneously wrap a person in cotton wool AND prepare them for the future.

Children are growing up in age of rapid technological change, which is why more must be done to protect them online and prepare them for the future. The PM and I were clear with tech companies on Thursday they must step up and deliver the stronger action that parents demand.

@ylecun @Ph_Aghion @erikbryn I am not minded to listen to either LLM builders or economists on this issue. Neither of them seem to have a firm grasp of their field.

Dario is wrong. He knows absolutely nothing about the effects of technological revolutions on the labor market. Don't listen to him, Sam, Yoshua, Geoff, or me on this topic. Listen to economists who have spent their career studying this, like @Ph_Aghion , @erikbryn , @DAcemogluMIT , @amcafee , @davidautor

@pmarca There really is no need for anyone to pay me to fish

The extensive UBI we already have is not resulting in very much hunting, fishing, or herding. In fairness, it is generating quite a lot of criticism.

@DrEliDavid Starmer's timing impeccable as ever

They are planning to reopen the Strait of Hormuz only after it is already opened

@freddienew @rich_rdctd Absolutely! Established scientist "ahh yeah that's a slightly different species of sea snail, I don't feel qualified to comment", random journo or X influencer "yeah bro like quantum gravity is 100% a risk to BTC and here's why"

@rich_rdctd I will never ever understand why brain dead people like this can't just say 'actually, I don't know the answer to that' or 'that's not my area of expertise so I can't really comment'

Steady lads, deploying more servers

@earthworm5000 @Artemisfornow @Iannoshoes just sweep it out into a SIPP

@Artemisfornow @Iannoshoes Let’s hope the lords vote it down again, it’s bad enough I do not get to choose where my work place pension goes.

‼️ WTF? Whilst you were distracted … Labour has just voted through powers to FORCE pension funds to invest your money in UK government ‘priorities’. Meaning Labour effectively takes control of up to 10% of your private pension to invest in bollocks. I call that theft. How dare the government take MY money for their projects. WTF?

@designcmf87 @Artemisfornow @grok essentially what Grok answered: this is for the rubbish workplace pension scam, not your SIPP! If you're outraged by this I assume you have enough financial awareness to have a SIPP anyway!

@Artemisfornow @grok can you 1 verify 2 breakdown what they can actually do with pension funds if true

@CornishWaves @Artemisfornow they can't do anything with your SIPP

@Artemisfornow Is that for pension pots that aren't actively invested by an individual and just in some fund that's just invested in bonds anyway?

i think that's a great point you're making at the end WRT central control, but of course nature gave us an even better example: farming out situational readiness to a dedicated behaviour control system that's underdetermined by the genome. This is the reason we have brains: there's no easy way for genes to keep pace with the rate of variation in the ecosystem.

Aujourd'hui grosse discussion avec mes ingés (chez Argil) sur pourquoi Elon a viré le LIDAR de ses voitures autonomes. Choix radical, moqué pendant des années, et comme d'hab il avait raison depuis le début. Le LIDAR c'est un laser qui balaye l'environnement et crache un nuage de points 3D. Sur le papier tu obtiens la géométrie exacte du monde. Dans la vraie vie c'est une verrue technologique collée sur le toit parce qu'on sait pas faire mieux avec la vision seule. Problème numéro un : ça rajoute une modalité dans le training du modèle. Ton réseau doit apprendre à fusionner vision + lidar + radar + ultrasons. Chaque capteur en plus c'est une source de désaccord à arbitrer, pas une source d'info supplémentaire. Sensor fusion artisanale = dette technique permanente. Problème numéro deux, la bitter lesson de Rich Sutton : scaler le compute sur une seule modalité bat systématiquement les architectures bricolées à la main. Tesla a dropé le radar, puis les ultrasons, est passé full end-to-end vision. Leur courbe sur les edge cases s'est accélérée APRÈS, pas avant. Waymo fait l'inverse et reste stuck en ops géofencée. Problème numéro trois, le plus fondamental : le LIDAR voit la géométrie, pas la sémantique. Il sait qu'il y a un truc, pas ce que c'est ni ce que ça va faire. Les derniers 9 de fiabilité sont des problèmes de cognition, pas de perception brute. Un capteur de plus résout rien, il ajoute du bruit. Sébastien Loeb balance une 208 T16 à 180 dans un chemin boueux corse sous la pluie avec zéro LIDAR. Deux yeux, un cerveau. L'évolution a donné des yeux aux prédateurs pendant 500 millions d'années, pas des lasers. Il y a une raison. Le LIDAR c'est l'équivalent du marxisme appliqué à l'économie. Une solution planifiée, centralisée, qui prétend modéliser explicitement ce qui doit émerger d'un système distribué et adaptatif. Tu remplaces l'intelligence par de la mesure, la compréhension par de la donnée, l'émergence par le contrôle. Ça rassure les ingénieurs qui veulent tout spécifier en amont, exactement comme la planif rassurait les économistes soviétiques. Et ça échoue pour les mêmes raisons : la réalité est trop riche pour être capturée par un capteur, comme elle est trop riche pour être capturée par un plan quinquennal. La vraie intelligence, celle de Hayek comme celle de Tesla, c'est de faire confiance à un système qui apprend de l'expérience plutôt que de tout pré-encoder. L'élégance d'une solution c'est son rapport signal sur complexité. Le LIDAR explose le dénominateur. Défendre le LIDAR en 2026 c'est préférer empiler des hacks plutôt que résoudre le vrai problème. C'est de la feignasserie intellectuelle maquillée en rigueur d'ingénieur. Les mêmes gens qui défendaient les systèmes experts en 2012 contre le deep learning. Ils finiront pareil. Never bet against end-to-end. Never bet against la simplicité. Never bet against Elon.

@elonmusk If we became a Kardishev-2 civiisation, presumably you'd agree that energy would be cheaper (have less marginal value per new joule) than it is now. Can you tell me why this wouldn't happen to money if you handed out money to everyone every week?

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

@ylecun @Dan_Jeffries1 I don't think you speak for everyone in Europe, Yann. There are plenty of people here who don't have the same kind of easygoing trust in their governments that you appear to.

EU politics is very different from US politics. Unlike the US, the EU actually has strong privacy protection laws, including for private data (protections that American companies have often complained about), including for protections from intrusion from government as well as private entities. What some Americans would see as a slippery slope that an unscrupulous government would inevitably exploit, European see it as a mechanism to protect *them*. A good parallel is gun laws.

Earlier generations understood that everything politicians want to sneak in under cover of darkness is done through stop the terrorists and save the children. First they verify the children. Then they verify you. Today's generation not only don't understand it. They're asking for it.

@GetSurplusApp @AdamBLiv Maybe this guy is the source of all the training data that led to the prevalence of the "it's not X, it's Y" trope ?

@AdamBLiv Thanks, but I am writing this myself!

Summary of MSTR bear stupidity: 1. MSTR shareholders are buying MSTR because they think Bitcoin is going up, and they want amplification 2. The bear, who doesn't even own shares, is whining that common stockholders are being diluted to pay STRC dividends 3. The MSTR shareholders accept this mechanism for amplification because they believe Bitcoin will outrun the cost of capital to buy more Bitcoin, because they bought amplified Bitcoin in the first place 4. The bear is forced to ignore what happens to MSTR with 35% Bitcoin amplification when Bitcoin goes up 5. The bears have to argue in a vacuum, in a world where Bitcoin never goes up EVER, which would obviously contradict why anyone would buy MSTR, see step 1. Thanks for attending this remedial seminar.

@DirtyTesLa @SawyerMerritt It's more of a customer support question. Shareholders are more interested in scaling past talking about the fucking cars all the time

@SawyerMerritt I get why people are frustrated since this question has been asked and answered so many times... but it shows the top concern of shareholders, and it shouldn't be dismissed.

The #1 voted for question so far for Tesla's Q1 earnings call next week:

@alessandrod @mert Wait you're gullible enough to buy the "this is about protecting kids" piece? This is about controlling adults.

@mert I mean or just don’t get on social media. At this point I think it’s uncontroversial that social media is bad for kids

awesome!! now all EU are required to hand over their identity to corrupt and incompetent bureaucrats who will certainly get hacked, leak it, or use it against you for their maniacal degrowth agenda decentralization and privacy are more important than ever before

@AutismCapital i mean i hear you, but sounds like he was literally in the act of recommending the death penalty for gooning when matey sparked him.

It's also important to not fall into the trap of "Sneako had it coming." It's a trap! Don't do it! It's deadly logic that can (and will) be reversed right back onto you. Regardless of political ideology, you must NEVER condone or tacitly approve the use of random acts of violence

Things like this are going to become increasingly common. Today it was a fist. Tomorrow it can be a bullet. As people become more ideologically charged, have their jobs displaced, see no upwards mobility, they will become more violent. Heed this warning as things fall apart.
