Photon-powered vibe coding is live @DragonflyFarms 🌞
The solar data center at @EdgeEsmeralda is now running open-source AI models—completely off-grid, fueled by the sun.

never met a man who hates costco. it transcends race, class, and creed. i’d trust a costco hospital with my life. i’d send my kids to costco daycare. i’d be laid to rest in a kirkland signature casket

I really wish the policy class would think more deeply about how culture works. Yes, people have agency and free will, but everyone is also born into and grows up in a web of meaning and significance that they themselves rarely build
To borrow provocative language, children are "culturally groomed" from birth and that impacts everyone.
And culture is largely built by elites -- not entirely obviously, but they have an outsized influence on it's shape and direction because they almost always run the most influential institutions

A fun tool I created to discuss our woo beliefs with friends:
1) Woo Critical (rejecting). You view certain practices as specious, a fun thing to do at best but misleading & potentially dangerous at worst. You actively challenge claims about these and seek to expose what you consider pseudoscience, or avoid these topics entirely as not worth engaging with.
2) Woo Cautious (observing). You’re skeptical but remain open to evidence. Happy to engage in friendly conversations about these practices (although you might not be the one initiating them) but you’re not ready to try them personally.
3) Woo Curious (experimenting). You actively explore these practices while maintaining critical thinking. You’ve found some benefits but not fully convinced, or you think there might be some yet-to-be-discovered scientific explanation to strange phenomena.
4) Woo Convinced (practicing). You’ve integrated these practices into your life based on personal experience & evidence you find compelling. You might even encourage or guide others through these modalities.
This is NOT about factually categorizing the practices themselves
This is NOT about identifying yourself with an overall stance like a personality test either
Instead the woo spectrum is a frame to explore how you relate to specific practices at this point in time - useful for self-reflection & to have better conversations!

We are very grateful to the thousands of Americans who have expressed interest in helping us at DOGE. We don’t need more part-time idea generators. We need super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week on unglamorous cost-cutting. If that’s you, DM this account with your CV. Elon & Vivek will review the top 1% of applicants.

Today is the 3rd birthday of Terraform Industries 🎂 🚀 🎆! More than half the life of my children, who came by today to test the new swing location. Hard to believe we could have come so far in just three years, and we have a lot of fun stuff in the pipeline! We're hiring!

People that fear self-driving cars should consider that not all humans are equally skilled drivers and that they are often sharing the road with the bottom 1% of human drivers.
