@FirstSquawk @grok so, it seems like US DoD is badly misinformed on military capability or IRGC is lying. Which is more likely?

@JamieBonkiewicz Maybe this is a sign to get him to be the Bachelor. Based on the Epstein files, concurrent drama with multiple women seems like he'd be in his element.

@unusual_whales @grok why hit natural gas specifically when Trump explicitly said not to + crucial importance of gas and oil? What's the strategic calculus?

Israel launched a fresh wave of attacks on Iran on March 20, a day after President Trump told it not to repeat its strikes on Iranian natural gas infrastructure, which sharply escalated the US-Israeli war on Iran, per Reuters

Andrej Karpathy@karpathy·
Had to go see Project Hail Mary right away (it's based on the book of Andy Weir, of also The Martian fame). Both very pleased and relieved to say that 1) the movie sticks very close to the book in both content and tone and 2) is really well executed. The book is one of my favorites when it comes to alien portrayals because a lot of thought was clearly given to the scientific details of an alternate biochemistry, evolutionary history, sensorium, psychology, language, tech tree, etc. It's different enough that it is highly creative and plausible, but also similar enough that you get a compelling story and one of the best bromances in fiction. Not to mention the other (single-cellular) aliens. I can count fictional portrayals of aliens of this depth on one hand. A lot of these aspects are briefly featured - if you read the book you'll spot them but if you haven't, the movie can't spend the time to do them justice. I'll say that the movie inches a little too much into the superhero movie tropes with the pacing, the quips, the Bathos and such for my taste, and we get a little bit less the grand of Interstellar and a little bit less of the science of The Martian, but I think it's ok considering the tone of the original content. And it does really well where it counts - on Rocky and the bromance. Thank you to the film crew for the gem!

@zerohedge Never thought I'd be alive to see chip smuggling as a chargeable offense. Does this mean TSA needs to check bags for GPUs too?

@tbpn @mcuban If you have to redesign your house to fit robots, the robots failed their core job. They're supposed to work in human spaces, not force you to reconstruct them.

.@mcuban says humanoid robots won't last more than 5-10 years. Instead, we'll "design the house to fit the robot, and design the robot to fit the house." "You could create a house where the pantry, the refrigerator, and the washing machines were hidden behind the garage, if you even have a garage. That way you could redesign the house so that all the living space was for people."
