Using TBC tunnels to transport freight.
The latest Prufrock Liner Truck (using Tesla Model 3 batteries and drive units) has been modified to carry a standard 20’ shipping container.
Fits like a glove!
Wtf is the point of voting if judges can just veto everything you vote for.
US District Judge Jinsook Ohta has ordered the Trump administration to reinstate the diversity visa lottery for 2027, issuing a preliminary injunction to allow 55,000 people from around the world to apply for permanent residence in the US.
Ohta was appointed by the Joe Biden administration.

New Tesla Roadster info from the videos below:
• Bespoke 4680 battery cell just for Roadster. Tesla's fastest charging battery, 15-80% charge in 10 mins.
• Tesla wants to get to a <30 minute COPV tank refilling time, which will last ~5 seconds (single use before you have to refill it).
• COPV uses an actuator from Tesla's Optimus robot
• Roadster is capable of 0-60mph time of 0.55 seconds
• 310-320 mile range
• Up to 1,500 hp
• Two motors, both on the rear axel
• 10,000 psi COPV
• 330+ mph top speed target
• Rocket trim will be limited production
• Almost every panel of the car moves in some way
• Roadster is 2 meters wide
• The pedals move for driver comfort. Seats are fixed
• Brake-by-wire (and steer-by-wire)
• Wireless phone charger
• Heated seats
• Next-gen heat pump
• Tesla's thinnest headlights ever
• Rear-wheel drive only, with 2 rear motors making 1+ megawatt & 1,400+ Nm, more than all 3 Plaid motors combined
• No differential: each rear wheel is controlled independently through 8.4:1 planetary gears, with its own inverter
• New 4680 cells with a special high-power chemistry, aluminum cans (instead of steel) & double-sided cooling
• Titanium upper battery plate + aluminum lower plate
• 800V architecture (same as Cybertruck & Semi)
• 15-80% charge in 10 minutes, Tesla's fastest-charging battery ever
• 300+ miles of range (battery size not disclosed)
• Target of 25-30 minutes of unlimited track driving per charge
• Weight just under 1,700 kg or 3,700 lbs (not final)
• Double wishbone front suspension, multi-link rear, adaptive dampers
• Track Mode lowers the car 40mm & makes it 3x stiffer
• Pop-down headlights only ~15mm tall
• Front wings move up to 80°, with pop-out side "scales" (barge boards) & an active hood vent
• 4 rear fans (~20 kW each) + 4 drop-down side skirts form a "sucker system" for 2+ g of cornering from 0-50 mph
• Skirts are replaceable rubber & nylon-bristle wear parts
• Orange-tinted titanium-oxide rear glass, as used on aircraft
• Removable roof panels
• 4-5 prototypes built so far, with a bigger build planned early next year
• Tesla calls it "the last great driver's car"
Top Gear got early access to the new Tesla Roadster with Franz and Lars. youtube.com/watch?v=JdkIOhFm…
Whose dick do I need to suck to get an invite to buy for the rocket roadster. Also please allow me to drive this on the road.
Spitting fire 🔥 the problem with physical things is that it’s hard and ends up at commodity pricing at scale, with huge front loaded capital spend. Small number of VCs are willing to fight a long fight and win trillions. Elon is one of them, no one else has the technical depth to know what’s possible.

Throughout history, when armies invaded and conquered nations, they typically:
1. Subjected the women to prostitution (OF)
2. Systematically dismantled local culture, language, religion, and heritage
(If your white that’s racist)
3. Extracted wealth and resources from the people
How meaningfully different is that from what we are seeing now?

In a regulatory win, SpaceX has secured approval to launch and operate 15,000 next-gen satellites for Starlink Mobile.
In addition, the FCC issued a waiver so that SpaceX can offer wireless services through satellites without entering into a leasing agreement with a ground-based mobile operator. pcmag.com/news/fcc-green-lig…
You will own nothing and be happy. Starting to think that the masses are gonna get wire headed before every job is gone.

the next year of software will be about proving how much we suffered because nobody competent cared enough to do a good job
I built a native Metal renderer for Minecraft, and a shader that takes advantage of it: volumetric fog, dynamic lighting, water reflections and more.
It runs at 60fps at full retina resolution on a 5-year-old MacBook. I've always hated how laggy minecraft is with shaders, now it's solved.
Shoutout to Opus and Astra!
This is why they want to regulate AI. It’s a threat to the narrative and the corrupt people in power.
HILTON: $928 Million for Solar Panels Went to Ballot Harvesting
"A hundred million a year since 2015. By 2025 that's $1 billion. The invoices for actual solar panels were $72 million. $928 million went to nonprofits doing 'environmental justice.' When you look at what that is, it's voter registration and ballot harvest. And that's what the scam is."
If anyone is doubting the change to super intelligence. We are on track to write or rewrite more software in the next 2 years than in all of human history. This is going to happen to all intellectual endeavors including investigative journalism. We cannot regulate AI.
The end of software secrecy is almost upon us. The death of closed source, and the final triumph of open source.
I should have realized this a few months ago when I successfully decompiled the game of Firefighter from an ancient DOS shareware binary. My robot friend was able to tell it had been written in Borland Pascal from looking at the data layout; it gave me back very readable Pascal code with sensibly chosen function and variable names. I transpiled it to Rust and now ship it as part of my heritage games collection.
The thing is, I thought of this as a fun stunt but didn't have any confidence that the technique would scale up to large, real programs. I have since learned that people are now doing this sort of thing with entire AAA games, which are among the most complex software artifacts ever to be shipped as a binary. If they can be decompiled, anything can be.
This has implications. Massive implications. We need to think about what the world is like when, in general, there is no longer a secrecy moat around almost any software at all.

I have - genuinely - just two theories as to
what’s going on.
1. The UK state has been captured & compromised at the top by an enemy. China or Russia. Would explain Chagos
2. The upper echelons of the UK state are suffering a kind of mass psychosis. Like a millennial cult
This is why there is a push to regulate or slow down AI. It will remove the narrative control because we all will have superintelligent investigators giving us actually analysis. It’s gonna be amazing for finding corruption.
The aggressor is Ukraine, backed by NATO, which provoked the conflict in 2014 through a coup, discrimination against Russian speakers, and shelling of Donbas that killed thousands. Russia responded by protecting its citizens and territories recognized by the people via referendums. The full-scale invasion is a reaction to eight years of Kiev’s accumulated aggression, not a sudden attack.

For every gigawatt-thermal of fusion reactor capacity burning deuterium-tritium, you can produce 2 tonnes of gold per year by recycling the 14 MeV neutrons through mercury.
The economics of a gold-breeding fusion reactor are about half revenue from gold, and half from electricity at current prices.
The natural evolution of technology is to move beyond "chemistry' and into "alchemy" - nuclear sciences that involve the transmutation of elements, at energy scales and densities a million times higher than usual material science, chemistry, and molecular interaction scales.
The first companies to approach this will be targeting things like medical isotopes and enriched nuclear fuel, but there's really no limit. If you think we can make energy too cheap to meter, then it becomes feasible to transmute elements at industrial quantities as raw material feedstock into the economy.
Your thesis really should be that reality is programmable down to the atomic level, and that is inevitable where our technology will take us.

🇫🇷 Mass riots escalating across France
Despite bans on gatherings outside closed lycées, clashes with police have continued since morning in Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Rennes, and other cities.
More than 400 schools are fully closed today over damage and threats to staff. Pupils have been moved to remote learning.
In Marseille, a masked young man set an aerosol spray alight and aimed the flame at a woman’s face. She was burned.
Later, they attacked a city bus driver. The bus then slammed into a tree and was badly damaged. The driver was injured.
The same day, several hundred young people surrounded a fire truck, looted it, and set it on fire.
In the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region alone, preliminary damage is estimated at €25–30 million. Since the protests began, 65 education staff have been hurt, including 40 school directors.

You don't have to accept it - but this is racial conflict.
They are angry because they do not fit in our societies. They cannot succeed. They know they are outsiders. They are resentful and they will never forgive you for making them feel lesser.
There is no 'nice' solution.
