New: Cops keep getting arrested for using Flock to stalk people. Seemingly every week there's a new case, the details usually similar. Cops use unfettered access to Flock to surveil an ex. They most often search plates hundreds of times over months 404media.co/cops-keep-gettin…

This is a great explanation of why I typically tune out when someone turns a conversation to conspiracies.

Reversing the 386 microarchitecture is a 3-part process: 1. Microcode extraction: taking photos of the 386 silicon die and recovering the 1s and 0s from the microcode ROM area (~100K bits). This can be done either completely manually or with the help of algorithms such as CNNs.

It has been a year or so since I was in the trenches on the election fraud claims, and I forgot how frustrating the pattern can be: > person makes claim about fraud > explain how you know the claim is misleading or invented > person says claim never got heard by the courts > explain how the claim was investigated by LEO or heard before a judge or a court and then got dismissed > person says LEO/judge/courts are corrupt and in on the scheme > explain that there are pro-Trump LEO/judge/courts who examined and dismissed the claim > person says this is just because the truth would be too destabilizing for society And around and around... Every now and again you break through and convince folks, which is worth it. But "stolen election" theories are so much more about vibes than hard evidence, which makes them extremely difficult to address. A lot of people just can't believe Biden beat Trump in 2020, and that's all it comes down to.

As if there needed to be further proof that Thomas has been out in weeds for a long time.

if you are interested in getting into AI, the best way today is to start with karpathy's videos on backprop/gradient descent and then get pufferlib (puffer dot ai) and start training models

So when Analog Devices acquired Dallas Semi, did they use an intern to categorize their parts or something?

Você sabia que, embora o destino seja o mesmo, a trajetória para chegar até lá evoluiu muito? No vídeo, podemos ver a diferença visual entre as estratégias de voo: • Apollo 8 (1968): A primeira missão tripulada a orbitar a Lua utilizou uma trajetória de aproximação direta para entrar em órbita lunar. A nave permaneceu relativamente próxima da superfície, em uma órbita baixa, ajudando a preparar o caminho para os pousos que viriam depois. • Artemis I (2022): Já a missão Artemis utilizou uma Órbita Retrógrada Distante (DRO). Como mostra o gráfico, a nave Orion viajou muito mais longe da Lua, testando os limites de distância para missões tripuladas e aproveitando uma órbita gravitacionalmente estável, ideal para missões de longa duração. Essas trajetórias não são apenas desenhos no espaço; elas representam um salto tecnológico. Saímos de missões de exploração mais curtas para a preparação de uma presença sustentável na Lua com o Programa Artemis. Qual dessas trajetórias você achou mais impressionante: a precisão da Apollo ou a amplitude da Artemis?

Having been an orthopedic surgeon for 30 years...5 things I wish someone had told you before you walked into my office — in atraumatic joint and tendon pain. Most of you will present with atraumatic joint and tendon pain... traumatic injuries are far less common in adults. And no... you didn't "sleep wrong."

Un profesor del MIT dio la misma conferencia cada enero durante 40 años, y cada una de las veces no cabía ni un alma en el aula. La vi a las 2 de la mañana y cambió por completo mi forma de entender la comunicación. Su nombre era Patrick Winston. La conferencia se titula "Cómo hablar" (How to Speak). Su frase de apertura te golpea como un camión: "Tu éxito en la vida vendrá determinado en gran medida por tu capacidad para hablar, tu capacidad para escribir y la calidad de tus ideas, en ese orden". Ni tu nota media, ni tus títulos, ni tu coeficiente intelectual. Cómo hablas es lo que separa a las personas que son escuchadas de las que son ignoradas. Este es el esquema que inculcó a los estudiantes del MIT durante cuatro décadas: 1) Nunca empieces con un chiste: Empieza diciendo a la gente exactamente qué es lo que va a aprender. "Prepara la bomba antes de verter nada". Él lo llamaba la "promesa de empoderamiento": dales una razón para no levantarse del asiento en los primeros 60 segundos. 2) La regla de las 5S: Para que una idea se quede grabada debe ser: Símbolo, Slogan, Sorpresa, Saliente (relevante) e Historia (Story). Cualquier idea que valga la pena recordar cumple al menos tres de estas. 3) La técnica del "casi acierto" (Near Miss): Esta parte me dejó alucinado. No te limites a mostrar lo que está bien; muestra lo que parece estar bien pero no lo está. Ese contraste es lo que hace que el cerebro registre algo de forma permanente. 4) Su regla final: Termina con una contribución, no con un resumen. No recapitules lo que ya dijiste. Dile a la gente qué les has dado que no tenían antes de entrar por la puerta. He usado este esquema en ventas, entrevistas y presentaciones desde que lo vi, y los resultados no son sutiles. Patrick Winston falleció en 2019, pero esta clase sigue siendo gratuita en el OpenCourseWare del MIT. Una hora, vista por millones de personas, y no cuesta absolutamente nada.

DOGE was a ruse that allowed Elon to bust up agencies that were going after his businesses while simultaneously destroying USAID which has caused hundreds of thousands of children to die. •National Labor Relations Board (NLRB): Investigated SpaceX for illegally firing employees who criticized Musk in an open letter and had multiple unfair labor practice cases against Tesla for issues like worker retaliation and union-busting. •Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC): Sued Tesla in 2023 for allowing widespread racial harassment of Black workers at its Fremont factory, including slurs, graffiti, and nooses; the case was ongoing when DOGE targeted the agency. •National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA): Conducted probes into Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving features following crashes, including a fatal pedestrian incident, and investigated millions of vehicles over summon app issues. •Federal Aviation Administration (FAA): Issued over $633,000 in fines to SpaceX for launch license violations in Florida and delayed approvals for Starship launches amid environmental reviews. •Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB): Handled hundreds of consumer complaints against Tesla (e.g., for financing and vehicle issues) and could regulate X’s planned payment features; Musk publicly advocated for its abolition. •Federal Election Commission (FEC): Reviewed complaints alleging violations by Musk’s America PAC, including potentially illegal voter incentives in swing states during the 2024 election. •Department of Justice (DOJ): Sued SpaceX for discriminatory hiring practices against asylees and refugees (case dismissed); also investigated Tesla’s claims about vehicle autonomy features. •Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC): Accused Musk of securities fraud for delaying disclosure of his Twitter stake in 2022, potentially costing investors $150 million; also oversaw related shareholder issues. •Food and Drug Administration (FDA): Regulated Neuralink’s brain implant trials for safety and efficacy in human testing, including oversight of clinical trials for paralyzed patients. •Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): Penalized Tesla $1.5 million for hazardous waste violations in California and fined SpaceX $148,000 for unauthorized water discharges into wetlands during tests. •Department of Defense (DOD): Conducted reviews and denied Musk certain security clearances due to SpaceX’s non-compliance with protocols for handling state secrets and foreign contacts. •U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID): Inspected Starlink’s provision of satellite terminals to Ukraine amid concerns over usage and contracts. •U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA): Investigated Neuralink for violations of the Animal Welfare Act related to animal testing and transport. •Department of the Interior (DOI) / Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS): Monitored and investigated environmental impacts from SpaceX launches on wildlife habitats near Boca Chica, Texas. •Department of Labor (DOL) / Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP): Audited Tesla for workplace discrimination and investigated broader labor and safety violations at Tesla and SpaceX. •Department of Transportation (DOT): Oversaw investigations into Tesla and SpaceX via its sub-agencies NHTSA and FAA (detailed above). •Office of Government Ethics (OGE): Probed Musk’s potential conflicts of interest as a government advisor while holding federal contracts.

Life on Earth says you have no fucking clue what you're talking about. 🤡 There are creatures alive today demonstrating how our eyes evolved.

During a job interview, if they ask: “Tell me about a time you failed.” Use the golden structure: 1. Situation – Briefly explain the mistake. “I underestimated the timeline for a project and missed the initial deadline.” 2. Responsibility – Own it. “I realized the issue was my planning and communication.” 3. Learning – Show growth. “I started breaking projects into milestones and giving early progress updates.” 4. Result – End with improvement. “Since then, every project has been delivered on time with better coordination.” Failure isn’t the problem. Failing to learn from it is.
