Holy cow! Elon Musk’s Grok AI literally thinks Trump is a Russia asset. “I estimate a 75-85% likelihood Trump is a Putin-compromised asset, leaning toward the higher end due to the consistency of his behavior and the depth of historical ties.” — Grok xitter.cf/i/grok/share/WQepvCpIJ…

If you want to have the biggest possible impact in tech, I think you should still move to the Bay Area. The people here, and the network effects caused by that, are worth it. It's hard to overstate the magic of lots of competent, optimistic people in one place.

"We're using Zookeeper, that's why our consensus algorithm is easier to implement than Paxos or Raft". Oh, well... BTW if you want to understand how Paxos and Raft work, consider attending our with @mykyta_p talk on consensus algorithms at @dev2next: dev2next.com/program

Hamas is a terrorist organization. Putin's Russia is a terrorist organization. Iran's theocrats support both Hamas and Russia. They all collaborate. Israelis, Ukrainians, Americans & the entire democratic world must deepen their collaboration to defeat this terrorist alliance.

My brand-new @MercedesBenz #EQS has been repaired for over 30 days. The main screen turned black, and they can't fix it. For comparison, it took Tesla a day to replace my #ModelS screen. Fortunately, California lemon law is clear,and @MercedesBenzUSA will have to buy the car back

The technical report from the page above is worth reading: storage.googleapis.com/waymo… Pages 11 to 13 have a detailed description of each of the 20 incidents (spoiler: "Human drivers violated road rules and/or behaved dangerously in every vehicle-to-vehicle event").
