Technology is older than humankind (~2.5 million years vs. ~300,000 years). An important understanding. Humankind exists because of technology.

.@Apple There should be a cellular (eSIM) option for MacBooks.

@EPallazo69140 @disclosureorg What was the first question you asked?

@disclosureorg Too late, dummy. I was taken by the Greys starting in 1966. I asked them hundreds of questions, many of which they answered. But hey, you can pretend that abductions haven't been happening for 70 years, if you need to.

What should be the first question we ask the aliens?

@TheAricIs @boringcompany @grok not boring after all

@boringcompany Little gift from @grok, diggin all your hard work. Much love

Tunneling on a Sunday in Nashville. Great team. Great rock.

@elonmusk They don't look like they are boring.

Boring away

@johncrickett C is still abstraction.

Every programmer should learn C. Implement a linked list, hash table, and binary tree. Then build a simple CLI program and a basic network server. Not because you'll use it daily, but because it strips away every abstraction you've been hiding behind and shows you what's really beneath whatever language you use daily.

@RadicalFalk Leider wahr. Das war's. (Und am meisten nerven die Leute, die sagen "Jetzt schau 'ma mal..." oder "Das wird schon wieder...". Die haben nichts verstanden.)

@ChrisAlvino Observation correct (mostly). Reasoning wrong.

Not a SINGLE SpaceX mission has ever garnered the kind of press & goodwill of Artemis II. And that's for good reason: humanity can never truly rally behind a corporation. NASA is for the people and by the people. SpaceX is for the shareholders.

@sudox7 Thanks again Micros~1 and IBM for this great idea with the max of 8 charac~1 for filena~1 that we still have to deal with someti~1.

if this hits, you’ve been in the game long enough

@aliromman_ @peteoxenham ...as it can't be fast and good.

@peteoxenham This 3d printed switch is definitely cheap and fast, but not good.

unsurprisingly, 3d printer bros lack a basic understanding of how the fast/cheap/good tradeoff works

@CodeByNZ When $107.5M are 0.01%...

Bro is so rich that the second-richest person is closer to me than to him.

@ParzivalsEgg @Truthpole @Kekius_Sage @grok do these explanations make any sense?

Every correlation is a coincidence looked at in isolation. Knowledge isn't held in data. It's held in the relationships between data. There's not just one coincidence about light that's visible in modern units baked into the design of the Great Pyramid. There are 3: Light speed in meters per second, exact to all nine digits along a narrow strip passing about 9 meters north of the apex of the pyramid and moving south due to plate tectonics so it is crossing the center of the footprint during the time in human history when these numbers would make identifying the MULTIPLE coincidences possible. Next is the 42 degree sacred rainbow angle, which is commemorated in Egyptian history in their nomes, the books of Thoth, the confessions of Ma-at, and the 42 judges who decide the path of souls leaving Earth. The third is the refraction index of light in water 4/3 which is the complement of 42. This symbol is only visible at noon during the solar equinox, and only visible at all because the pyramid is 8 sided. The hermetic code for "Discovery" is 8. Motif isn't coincidence, and those parameters create a math "bottle" which holds a model of the Earth inside, scaled by the number of seconds 42,300 in one half of Earth's rotation, also known as pi radians. Make me another Earth ship in a Light bottle, glued together with pi and phi in the slope base l'll wait.

Why does light travel at exactly that speed?

@Truthpole @Kekius_Sage This can only be coincidental, as the meter was defined centuries later, as your text says already. Weird coincidence, but still a coincidence.

@Kekius_Sage I'll do you one better Why's the latitude of Giza Pyramid matches the Speed of light exactly?

@yezhang1998 yeah and the real plot twist would be if this is already "by intention" of the model itself. First part of the "takeover". Unlikely, I know, but eventually something like that might happen.

Genuine question: if every major company starts scanning their entire codebase with Claude Code (auth flows, security logic, vuln patches, all of it) isn’t that a massive privacy concern? Anthropic would theoretically get visibility into the core product logic and security infrastructure for huge chunks of the world. Even with enterprise “no training” promises and zero-retention policies, that’s a lot of trust to place in a single vendor. Am I overthinking this, or is it actually problematic?

@NASA I love Artemis II and the great photos. But the UI of your wallpaper website is quite bad, really. It should be possible to see previews (non-cropped) of the pictures without needing to download them as files.

@IT_unhinged Damn I considered this a legit post. I spent too much time in such companies.

An employee just asked for a second monitor. Standard request. Usually takes 3 clicks to approve. But they submitted the ticket under Software Procurement instead of Hardware Request. If I process it, my internal audit metric takes a hit for cross-category resolution. So I rejected it and told them to submit it correctly. They submitted it under Network Outage. I rejected it again. They emailed me directly, CCing their director, asking why I am blocking their productivity. I replied all with a link to our KB article on How to Select the Correct Dropdown Menu. The director replied to me privately to just give them the monitor. I said I would, pending a properly categorized ticket. Eventually, the ticket arrived in the right queue. I approved it in four seconds. Time to resolution: four seconds. Process is a beautiful thing.

@elonmusk As long as it's not x86...

Looking forward to working with Intel on the Terafab!

Der technologische Fortschritt ist allgemein seit den 70er Jahren stark zurückgegangen. Viele Bereiche haben sich seitdem kaum weiterentwickelt im Vergleich zu vorher: Transport (Reisegeschwindigkeiten), Energie-Infrastruktur, Landwirtschaft, Industrie, ... Gründe? Unklar. Vielleicht teilweise "zugunsten" des IT-Fortschritts. Vielleicht aber auch aus anderen Gründen. bertelsmann-stiftung.de/fileadmin/file…

Ich habe lange gezögert, mich zur aktuellen Mondmission zu äußern – aber ganz ehrlich: Einige Fragen drängen sich einfach auf. Vorweg: Ich halte die Apollo-Mondlandungen nicht für einen Fake. Dennoch wirkt es befremdlich, dass mehr als ein halbes Jahrhundert später der Fortschritt in diesem Bereich vergleichsweise überschaubar erscheint. Damals, mit deutlich begrenzterer Technologie, gelang es, Menschen zum Mond zu bringen – und heute wirkt selbst die Rückkehr dorthin wie ein komplexes Großprojekt mit ungewissem Ausgang. Natürlich kann man einwenden, dass politische Prioritäten, wirtschaftliche Interessen und nicht zuletzt Konflikte auf der Erde enorme Ressourcen gebunden haben. Aber genau das wirft eine grundlegende Frage auf: Warum scheint die technologische Entwicklung in der Raumfahrt nicht im gleichen Maß vorangeschritten zu sein wie in so vielen anderen Bereichen? Es geht mir nicht um Verschwörungstheorien, sondern um ein Gefühl der Diskrepanz zwischen dem, was einst möglich war, und dem, was heute – trotz aller Fortschritte – als Herausforderung gilt. Zur Erinnerung: Apollo-Missionen ✓ 6 erfolgreiche Mondlandungen ✓ 12 Astronauten auf dem Mond (erste Mondlandung Juli 1969) Artemis II ✓ Keine Landung, sondern nur ein Flug um den Mond herum (April 2026) Wie erklärt ihr Euch das?

@DmytroKrasun They use the "state of the art" stack until the need for human understandability/interaction is gone. Then, they could generate machine code or binaries right away, or even come up with their own languages (if beneficial).

If LLMs were invented around 2000, would they still be generating websites in Perl or would we have reached TypeScript and React much faster? I wonder if LLMs just lock us into whatever stack they are trained on.

@rand_longevity Might be a bit optimistic. But somewhen between 500 and 5000 days from now is quite probable.

500 days from now, nobody will be waking up for school or work
