A group of the world's largest shippers has made the largest electric truck order in U.S. history, ordering 2,500 all-electric Class 8 trucks. @Tesla was picked as the only primary manufacturer, with Kenworth, RIDE and Volvo named as secondary OEMs that carriers can pick instead. evwire.com/p/zet-scale-2500-…

The group behind such hits as: “We’re All Going To Die” and “Regulate Me Now” are building a wet lab in SF. I do not recommend this.
ANTHROPIC BUILDS BIOLOGY LAB TO PUSH AI INTO DRUG DEVELOPMENT Anthropic has quietly established a Bay Area wet lab, moving its life-sciences ambitions beyond computer simulations and into physical biological experiments. The company wants Claude to direct laboratory robots with limited human intervention, potentially accelerating research into rare and traditionally “undruggable” diseases. Anthropic says it will focus on preclinical research rather than clinical trials, avoiding direct competition with pharmaceutical companies.

I wouldn’t normally listen to Ed Sheeran much - if at all. But I’m putting him on my Spotify playlist today. Not because I necessarily share his politics (or even know what they are). But because I object to the cancellation machine: the idea that artists must publicly endorse the approved political position - or face walkouts, denunciations and demands that their work be cancelled. Sheeran has made clear that he wants his concerts to be welcoming entertainment, not political rallies. That is a perfectly legitimate boundary. So, Ed Sheeran it is today. Well done, idiots 🙄

You still always need to maintain the system. If you are not, you aren't using Linux. Omarchy doesn't help on making system management easier.

The only designation the EU needs to be worried about is a continent left behind. You cannot regulate your way into prosperity and progress like this.
We have designated ChatGPT as a Very Large Online Search Engine and Reddit and Roblox as Very Large Online Platforms under the Digital Services Act. They now have four months to comply with additional DSA obligations. More: link.europa.eu/8bmk3M #DSA

When they post this meme to try and win an argument, you immediately know they know absolutely nothing.

Introducing Grok 4.6. It delivers frontier intelligence and is a significant improvement over Grok 4.5 at the same price.

Born with cerebral palsy & limited peripheral vision, Justin spent years adapting just to stay on the road. FSD Supervised gives him back the freedom to go where he wants, when he wants – all without the constant mental load that comes with manual driving
Replying to @Tesla
When I was a baby I was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy (right hemiplegia). At 15 I had to get a left-foot accelerator because my right foot couldn’t press the gas. I also have no peripheral vision on my right side and was in accidents that weren’t my fault because of it. In 2023 my dad researched Tesla and was blown away by FSD’s safety. We bought a 2023 Model Y Performance and I joined the FSD Beta on v10. Being part of testing every update since has been unbelievable. FSD didn’t just make driving easier. It gave me back the freedom to go wherever I want, whenever I want, without the constant mental stress of worrying about other drivers or my own limitations. Multi-stop trips, rain, busy roads, parking lots with Summon… things that used to drain me now feel normal. Now in my 2026 Model X Plaid “Ghost,” that independence is even stronger… especially now with FSD 14.3.6. Thank you Tesla for building the safest vehicles on the road and completely changing my life. I’ll never take it for granted. Keep changing the world.

Some people seem to be surprised that an old geezer like me could adapt so quickly to the newest tech. The thing is, I've been a programmer for over 60 years. And every single year brings another adaptation to new tech. Adapting to new tech is what we programmers do on a regular basis. Why would I stop now?

"Finally bought a brand new Windows laptop. What should I uninstal first?” Yes, another one of these posts but mine says uninstal. (See what i did there?) *No laptop was harmed (or purchased) in the making of this post.
