Got a chance to take a ridealso.com e-bike out for a spin yesterday. I think I still prefer something lighter and more like a bike but this is a very slick product that would be a very fun way to get around

Lmao I've had my (used) Ioniq 5 for less than two weeks and when I tried to start it I got a message “12V battery low. Stop safely” and now it won't turn on at all. Seems like this is a known issue that Hyundai hasn't been able to fix for years? www.reddit.com/r/electricve...

I get questions about Graham Platner every time I talk to people outside of Maine. I think this is a very good and measured view of how he’s been campaigning here and why a lot of Mainers are supporting him. shaystewartbouley.substack.com/p/platner-is...

Left off an important part of the quote: “According to the enterprise data company Entelligence, for each dollar...” Huh, Entelligence AI is selling a PR review tool that fixes the scary problem they're describing?

Visited my 17th Midpen preserve of 2026, the tiny corner of Teague Hill that has a trail through it. www.openspace.org/preserves/te...

“We opt for humanities students” is a great euphemism for hiring based on class and ... other attributes

Forgot to post about my 13th of 2026, Picchetti Ranch, but visited my 14th, 15th and 16th Midpen preserves today: Saratoga Gap, Long Ridge, and Skyline Ridge www.openspace.org

Explosive diarrhea is just aggressive top-of-funnel leakage. The viral velocity is high but retention is zero. Your unit economics are totally broken. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jul/03/cdc-investigates-parasite-explosive-diarrhea

Weird, I thought no one wanted to use it unless bosses forced them to?

Seeing AI art takes from some of my fellow gen Xers talking about “theft” and “stealing” and I really have a hard time with the fact that y'all grew up and came to the conclusion “hmm maybe RIAA had a good point about Napster”

I've been more on the hiring than job seeking side lately, and anecdotally it's still hard to find good candidates If you are a senior embedded SW person who wants to build a system from the bare metal up, and you're good at it - I have an opportunity for you!

Joint venture with Rivian

If you're in the Bay Area - SFPUC has a huge chunk of protected watershed that you can *only* access as part of a guided activity; I'm a volunteer guide and I'm leading a ride this July 25. Info and free sign up here: www.sfpuc.gov/learning/com...

we joke about it but b2b sales really does explain everything

bikes solve this.

Guy from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of... has some advice:

I'm all for extending people grace but this smol bean act is pretty tiresome. If you don't want people to dunk on you, don't post braindead bullshit! Especially if you have a lot of followers!

WTF does “wipe out those debts” mean?? Bail them out by paying off their creditors? Because otherwise if the debts aren't getting paid then the companies can just go bankrupt without even a dollar of government funding.

Matt Levine is so good

issuing correction on a previous post of mine, the real economic risk is that Micron just ends up with all the money

The NBA version of “who are those billboards on 101 for??”

OpenAI just announced their custom inference processor & close partnership with Broadcom, specifically calling out Tomahawk switches. So reading between the lines OpenAI aligns with SUE (Broadcom-proprietary Scale-Up Ethernet) investors.broadcom.com/news-release... openai.com/index/openai...

Monstrous Moonshine proves that the Monster group and modular functions come from completely different worlds but share a deep, inseparable connection. Which got me thinking about our connection, baby.

Groq (with a 'q', not Grok-with-a-k!!) making an apparently real go at the inference biz is pretty interesting techcrunch.com/2026/06/22/a...

I wrote a bunch of open source software that businesses made a lot of money with (Linux kernel drivers/infiniband and libibverbs gotta be 0.1% of Nvidia's market cap) and I feel great about it. I put it into the world hoping people would build on it to do cool stuff and they did!

Steam Machine pricing being an obvious effect store.steampowered.com/hardware/ste...

Musk likes to talk about how great Grok is, but Xai seems to have fully given up on their own stuff (spending $60B on Cursor notwithstanding) and pivoted to being yet another neocloud? Not sure what their moat is beyond being most willing to violate environmental regs. www.cnbc.com/2026/06/22/s...

Weirdly written story - the “authorities said” caveat very much seems to apply to Autopilot or FSD being engaged. The video shows the car absolutely flying down a suburban street and straight into the house, which doesn't look like an ADAS bug - more like the driver trying to blame a crash on ADAS?

Gauss's Theorema Egregium proves that everything you need to know about a surface is intrinsic and the outside world is irrelevant. Which got me thinking, all we need is each other, baby.

I guess we're doing this leftishly now but because it's anti-AI it's fine (this is about the Bezos water quote) www.smbc-comics.com/comic/aaaah

just bringing back 18F exactly like it was before DOGE and Trump killed it would go a long way

Oh not much just listening to the new Boards of Canada while trying out Universal Hands-Free in a Rivian R2

Very useful post - as I've said before maybe a lot of these companies don't have enough runway so investors get wiped out, but given all the capex and R&D spending that already happened, the business of serving model inference is wildly profitable at huge scale

Would love to know the deal terms, specifically how they're coming up with a #$SPCX price to convert $60B to a number of shares (the deal is all stock, it's typically an average over a window, but what window?) www.cnbc.com/2026/06/16/s...

Not surprised: SpaceX makes it official that they're acquiring Cursor immediately after their IPO xcancel.com/i/status/206...

Very relatable, this is basically me during stand-up: “yeah, so, the fix landed last weekend. Also I should have the fix out for review by Wednesday, Thursday at the latest”

First business news in a while that my theory can't explain www.reuters.com/business/fin...

Wow the Knicks championship truly was historic

Just thinking about how it's the perfect detail that KAT played like shit, scored 2 points on 1-7 shooting, and fouled out of the game where the Knicks won the championship

Fine but I still think his play style is annoying

GO ROBERT MUELLER and the rule of law!

RIP to all the dumbass retail bagholders who bought at $135 and sold at $160

On the other hand web browsers are super useful and fun

Huh I wonder if they're selling something? “We give engineering leaders visibility into how work operates across code, people, and systems, and control over how that work progresses through enforceable workflows and policy.”

700 tok/sec locally on (high-end) consumer hardware from a reasonably smart model that's good at tool calling is pretty interesting, curious to see what agentic coding is like a year from now

If you're thinking of stacking 4x Mac Studios with 512GB each, you might be better off with a GB300 from Nvidia? Only 748GB of memory total but 7 TB/sec of HBM bandwidth and something like 30X the FLOPS www.nvidia.com/en-us/produc...
