Bikes are very good and more people should have more of them

The thing that's the most insane to me is that data center was $75B out of $82B revenue this quarter. For the same quarter just three years ago it was $4.28B. Starting with a multi-billion $ business and then 17X-ing in 3 years is fucking nuts.

Does this weapon look like a “children's toy” to you?? (ignore the pink tires)

Do any of the people dunking on this quote know that Schmidt first said it to Sheryl Sandberg when he was trying to convince her to join Google in 2001? And then she made it famous in her book “Lean In.” By now it's just a tired overused startup culture cliche about not worrying about a job title?

Is having a mostly positive but nuanced take on AI really worse than genocide denial?

smdh I know he's young but in a game this big where he plays 48 minutes, Wemby should really be giving the Spurs more than 3 assists

I was kinda hoping they'd both lose somehow

My contribution to the discourse is that there is precisely one single country that is both a “highly developed” OECD member and also has above-replacement fertility: Israel

When you were a kid and people asked you what you wanted to do when you grew up, you probably said astronaut or fire fighter or baseball player. Me? “Rebuild the mortgage stack from the ground up!”

As expected, very good “We don’t expect meaningful and rhetorically powerful prose to come from anything but a conscious mind. But now it does.”

Welp. Funny story about the tooling written in zig

Genuinely don't understand the claim here - of course he proposed a balanced budget, the NYC charter and NY State law have always required New York City's budget to be balanced, so every mayor has done this every year

Love to tell myself I'm on the side of the angels in my fight to protect IP alongside my allies Disney and, uh, now Elsevier

AI discourse merging with vibecession discourse is a velociraptors learning to open doors moment

This is an extremely weird theory from Zitron. You can't get flash or DRAM because a bunch of companies are preordering GPUs? Is the idea that Nvidia is doing hundreds of billions of $ of accounting fraud, or companies are scrambling to get GPUs they can't install??

Transit has the same problem. I've never once had a good conversation with a train engineer.

Huh I wonder if any other sectors like education or health care might be affected by increasing labor costs en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baumol_...

I hate to say it but cannabis production uses a lot of water and electricity for something that just makes you lazy and dumb www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Brutal game from Wembanyama as he finishes with only 1 assist. Completely failed to get Fox and Castle involved as they were both held under 20 points.

No more purple tires ... 🩷🩷🩷

ChatGPT launched in November 2022. Your 2025 summer interns did not “grow up among AI.”

Kind of a wild admission that there's no demand for Grok and they have no idea how to train anything better x.com/i/status/205...

Well surely this AI fuckery will end *next* quarter, right?

I think we should make sure all industrial development follows strict environmental regulations and pays for its infrastructure use <Rockwell Freedom of Speech dot webp>

Victor Wembanyama with 11 pts / 15 reb / 12 blk / 5 ast tonight is the second greatest NBA triple-double behind only 2017 Draymond Green going for 4 pts / 12 reb / 10 ast / 10 stl

learning that a few bsky accounts seem to be somewhat opposed to data center construction

Democrats should do what's right without worrying about what polls well... except for this new kind of NIMBYism that we just invented

Why not just go full NIMBY?

Nah it would be ridiculous to design a whole custom chip just to run your AI application more efficiently

The F-150 in particular is a really interesting example because Ford spent god knows how many billions of $ developing an EV version that's really quite good and then ... barely anyone bought it

Well, the AI bubble will probably pop tomorrow abc.xyz/investor/new...

Visited Rancho San Antonio preserve for the 14th time this year www.openspace.org/preserves/ra...

Fantastic premise. Which rom-coms should be remade as dystopian action-horror, though?

I see people are unaware of the existence of store.palantir.com and their regular “merch drops”

My goodness

I'm quite well-compensated but after taxes, spending, charitable giving, and saving, there's no money left for anything else

Calling it a “dishwasher” is so misleading - unlike a real human it's a machine with no concept of what washing dishes means. Hope you enjoy pushing the button and only being 99% sure your dishes will be clean in the morning.

I might need to write a bot that replies to posts calling AI “linear algebra” with a reminder that LLMs in fact contain many nonlinear components

I'm an out of touch gen Xer and a lot of gen Z dating culture seems crazy and/or bad to me (“talking stage”??) But dating apps as a way for people to mutually signal “I'm available and you look like someone I would plausibly go out with” seems OK-ish to me?

The funny thing is that Nvidia would love for businesses to think of them as “AI factories” too because data centers are cost centers while factories make stuff you can sell

Is there an industry that has more detailed continuous data on how consumers interact with their products?

It seems unfair to spend the better part of a century creating a transportation system that cannot function unless people sometimes break rules, and then single out Waymo vehicles for sometimes breaking rules

Weird title for a dishwasher review roundup

WFH today, email/slack if you need me

Yeah why is anyone falling for mythos hype surely if it were real people outside of anthropic would be talking about it blog.mozilla.org/en/privacy-s...

Interesting that VA redistricting is going to barely pass, 52-48 or so, while CA redistricting (prop 50) won 65-35. Which is not fully explained by CA just being a lot bluer than VA (it's not that much bluer, Harris got 52% in VA and 58% in CA)

Hmmm SpaceX all but acquiring Cursor??
