@Jason They’re hard to see. You have to fly low and slow.

@Jason Worth reading @Jason nationalsecurityjournal.org/move-over-f-35…

Someone educate me as to why the US Navy can't eliminate Iran's “mosquito fleet.” I get these are small, fast speedboats, but can't they be quickly eliminated by helicopters and jets, as well as ship-mounted guns? How many of these do they even have?!

@AshtonForbes my reading material on this flight

"Ghost Murmur" by Lockheed Martin Skunk Works "If your heart is beating, we will find you."

The Artemis II crew named a lunar crater after Commander Reid Wiseman's late wife, Carroll. What a beautiful and touching moment. I'm not crying, you're crying 🤧

@FantasyAnime Best game of all time maybe

@oldyzach Do spectre: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectre_(…. I loved the physical case

Running this profile is easy. All I have to do is buy (or find) a game I played in the 80s-90s and later, install it, make a clip out of it, say that I used to be good at gaming (and I was!) but now I suck, and post it on X😎 🎶 Nitro by Tony Williams 🕹️ No Second Prize (Amiga)

@Teslaconomics Who is John Galt?

Pete: “WTF is this thing, Elon?? This looks like it came out of a sci-fi movie.” Elon: “That’s the point. Best part is no part.” Pete: “No part?? I’m looking at the most insane engine I’ve ever seen.” Elon: “Exactly. We removed everything that didn’t absolutely need to be there. Less complexity. Less failure. More power.” Pete: “There’s no way this thing actually works.” Elon: “Oh, it works. And this engine is what’s going to power Starship. 39 of them will be needed. 33 Raptor engines for Super Heavy Booster and 6 Raptor engines for Starship.” Pete: “39?!!! You’re telling me this is the thing that gets humans to Mars?” Elon: “Yep. This is how we will help make life multi-planetary.” Pete: “So while everyone else is arguing about paperwork, you’re over here building engines to leave the planet.” Elon: “Pretty much. Physics doesn’t care about opinions.” Pete: “This is crazy… history in the making. But I mean… come on. This feels unreal.” Elon: “Oh, it’s very real. And with this thing…” Pete: “Yeah?” Elon: “We’re going to make Star Trek real.” Pete: “Elon… you are someone I’ve never met. I believe in you. LFG, I got your back.”

@demishassabis @friedberg @theallinpod @demishassabis this was excellent and I enjoyed listening

Thanks @friedberg & the @theallinpod crew for inviting me to the summit, it was a blast! Fun conversation discussing everything from the limitations of today's AI systems to the latest world models like Genie 3 and their key potential role in robotics - enjoy!

@BillAckman @stoolpresidente So good @stoolpresidente

Great Christmas spirit. Uplifting. Thank you @stoolpresidente

@cremieuxrecueil Keys? Where we’re going Marty, we don’t need keys

Surely we can automate car rental services. How hard could it be for a robot to display your options and dispense keys?

@NateSilver538 I think you’d rather be the campaign with more momentum going into the finish line, no?

Today's update. As you can see, a little bit of erosion for Harris in the Blue Wall states over the past week. Only a 1/2 point but half points matter. Don't think it's easy to say which campaign you'd rather be at this point: the race is a pure toss-up. natesilver.net/p/nate-silver-…

🚨 BREAKING: NASA has detected evidence of huge reservoirs of liquid water beneath the surface of Mars Scientists believe the amount of groundwater could cover the entirety planet to a depth of 1 mile (1.6 km) 🤯

@Dennis_E_Taylor Can’t wait @Dennis_E_Taylor !

@bryan_johnson @nealstephenson Great choice.

I am signing off to get lost in sci-fi. Seveneves, by @nealstephenson.

Today, we dive into the wet world of marinas. A few numbers to anchor the expectations: - 10,000 marinas in the US - Estimated $6bn market - 12:1 ratio of registered boats to available space - Over 90% of US marinas are NOT institutionally owned @zbfuss hosted operator David Chesner from Grove Point Marinas and investor Josh Koplewicz from Thayer Street Partners to dissect this esoteric market and business model.

@leecronin @AdamRutherford Ignore them

Trying to understand the highly personal & negative feedback directed at me personally about #AssemblyTheory from people who don’t know me & Adam-jealous-bully Rutherford.@AdamRutherford I’m proud of my co authors & the work.nature.com/articles/s4158…

@DanielLurie Good luck @daniellurie, nobody is more knowledgeable of San Francisco’s issues, or qualified to make progress.

I am running for Mayor of San Francisco to bring a new era of leadership that this moment demands. I have a proven track record of building diverse teams, challenging bureaucracy and political obstacles, and delivering results.

@stephen_wolfram Great stuff @stephen_wolfram
