@testerlabor There is special place I my heart for the C64 and especially VIC-20, my first ever computer. I stayed up for 3 days programming nonstop when I got it for the sheer love of coding.

@Maraaaks Oh please, a troubled artist philosophizing about money...
Money is nothing more just a blood for the economy, distributes oxygen and nutrition wherever it's needed. Extremely important, irreplaceable. And no, so far nobody invented a better way to organize the system.

C and C++ are completely different programming languages.
C has concise syntax. It can be learnt in one day, and a typical C code is easy to read. I like C.
C++ has over-complicated syntax, which becomes more complex with every new C++ standard. I hate C++.
Whenever I see "C/C++" phrase, I instantly understand that the author of this phrase doesn't know neither C nor C++.

🇦🇷 MILEI'S ANARCHO-CAPITALIST REVOLUTION CRUSHES POVERTY: SOCIALISM'S NIGHTMARE COMES TRUE
Chainsaw-wielding libertarian Javier Milei is straight-up rewriting history in Argentina.
His hardcore capitalist blitz is unleashing a tsunami of wealth that's even got UNICEF cheering from the rooftops!
Their fresh "State of the World's Children 2025" report is pure fire:
Poverty indicators are collapsing across the board, and families are suddenly crushing expenses like pros.
Down a whopping 8 points, we're talking 1.7 million kids yanked out of the poorhouse in under a year.
Hyperinflation tamed, jobs exploding, and poor folks tasting real freedom for the first time in decades.
From 52.9% poverty in early 2024 to 38.1% by Milei's first-year mark, deregulating like a boss, slashing govt bloat, and letting markets roar has families thriving where Peronist socialism left 'em starving.
This is ancap magic at work: No big brother handouts, pure voluntary power unlocking human potential.
Proving once and for all, it's the ultimate slap to socialism's face.
Collectivism crumbles, freedom wins big league. Milei haters in shambles; Argentina rising like a phoenix!

🇦🇷 MILEI: CONDITIONS ARE SET FOR ARGENTINA TO ENTER A NEW GOLDEN CENTURY “Argentina has real chances to supply the world with its two greatest demands. The demand for energy, and the demand for food. The conditions are set for Argentina to enter into a new Golden Century and become the leading world power again.” Source: @ArgMilei, @jmilei

@bitcoinjack He's definitely one of the key issues so we are probably going much lower

what if someone develops a quantum computer that can crack bitcoin? what happens next?

@kwok_phil It's mainly social media.
Another nail in the coffin is the fact that many young people waste their lives by solely being "invested" in crypto. Days, months, years lost by watching charts and posting zero substance tweets.

i worry that social media has destroyed many young people’s brains.
maybe also some combination of vaccine, dei, woke, ai.
honestly not sure.
but something’s happened.

@elonmusk Disagree
Committees of professionals with experience in regulation are often smarter than the average citizen
I am completely fine letting the committee make the decision for me, because I trust them!

The leader of the EU should be elected by the people of the EU, not appointed by a committee!
Elon Musk@elonmusk
@vonderleyen If democracy is the foundation of freedom, surely your position as leader of the EU should be elected directly by the people?

Karpathy reviews Tesla self-driving
Andrej Karpathy@karpathy
I took delivery of a beautiful new shiny HW4 Tesla Model X today, so I immediately took it out for an FSD test drive, a bit like I used to do almost daily for 5 years. Basically... I'm amazed - it drives really, really well, smooth, confident, noticeably better than what I'm used to on HW3 (my previous car) and eons ahead of the version I remember driving up highway 280 on my first day at Tesla ~9 years ago, where I had to intervene every time the road mildly curved or sloped. (note this is v13, my car hasn't been offered the latest v14 yet) On the highway, I felt like a passenger in some super high tech Maglev train pod - the car is locked in the center of the lane while I'm looking out from Model X's higher vantage point and its panoramic front window, listening to the (incredible) sound system, or chatting with Grok. On city streets, the car casually handled a number of tricky scenarios that I remember losing sleep over just a few years ago. It negotiated incoming cars in tight lanes, it gracefully went around construction and temporarily in-lane stationary cars, it correctly timed tricky left turns with incoming traffic from both sides, it gracefully gave way to the car that went out of order in the 4-way stop sign, it found a way to squeeze into a bumper to bumper traffic to make its turn, it overtook the bus that was loading passengers but still stopped for the stop sign that was blocked by the bus, and at the end of the route it circled around a parking lot, found a spot and... parked. Basically a flawless drive. For context, I'm used to going out for a brief test drive around the neighborhood to return with 20 clips of things that could be improved. It's new for me to do just that and exactly like I used to, but come back with nothing. Perfect drive, no notes. I expect there's still more work for the team in the long march of 9s, but it's just so cool to see that we're beyond finding issues on any individual ~1 hour drive around the neighborhood, you actually have to go to the fleet and mine them. Back then, I processed the incredible promise of vehicle autonomy at scale (in the fully scaleable, vision only, end-to-end Tesla way) only intellectually, but now it is possible to feel it intuitively too if you just go out for a drive. Wait, of course surround video stream at 60Hz processed by a fully dedicated "driving brain" neural net will work, and it will be so much better and safer than a human driver. Did anyone else think otherwise? I also watched @aelluswamy 's new ICCV25 talk last week (x.com/aelluswamy/sta…) that hints at some of the recent under the hood technical components driving this progress. Sensor streams (videos, maps, kinematics, audio, ...) over long contexts (e.g. ~30 seconds) go into a big neural net, steering/acceleration comes out, optionally with visualization auxiliary data. This is the dream of the complete Software 1.0 -> Software 2.0 re-write that scales fully with data streaming from millions of cars in the fleet and the compute capacity of your chip, not some engineer's clever new DoubleParkedCarHandler C++ abstraction with undefined test-time characteristics of memory and runtime. There's a lot more hints in the video on where things are going with the emerging "robotics+AI at scale stack". World reconstructors, world simulators "dreaming" dynamics, RL, all of these components general, foundational, neural net based, how the car is really just one kind of robot... are people getting this yet? Huge congrats to the team - you're building magic objects of the future, you rock! And I love my car <3.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse explained why banks are not embracing $XRP yet. The CEO revealed that the real obstacle is insufficient privacy. The problem is that banks do not want every transaction hash and address to be visible on the blockchain
