Carvana is slowly gaining marketshare over dealers and I think it's great
Buyers would rather gamble on a used car they've never seen clicking a button online than sit at a dealership for 4 hours getting screwed by a "finance manager" hard selling you the paint protection

it amazes me that they raised the bridge, added a million signs to it, flashing lights, a warning alarm, and a passthrough, and people still fuck it up. If IQ testing were required for a driver's license, yearly vehicular deaths would probably drop to near zero.

A new injectable gel can rebuild worn-out spinal discs instead of just masking the pain.
Doctors working with US company ReGelTec are testing an injectable gel called Hydrafil for people whose spinal discs have worn down with age.
The discs are the cushions between your vertebrae, and as they dry out and flatten, they can cause years of back pain. Hydrafil is injected through a needle as a warm liquid, then firms up at body temperature into a water-rich, rubbery cushion that refills the damaged disc and restores its height.
In a study of 60 patients, average back pain scores fell from 7.3 to 2.1 out of 10 after a year, and disability scores dropped sharply too.
Today, most treatments for worn discs manage symptoms with painkillers, injections or physical therapy, and the last resort is surgery to fuse or replace the disc. A gel that rebuilds the cushion itself could offer something in between.
The early study had no comparison group, and five patients needed a procedure to remove gel that had shifted. A larger trial against a placebo procedure is underway, and the FDA has granted it Breakthrough Device status to speed its review.

"One sees humanity as a problem to administer.
The other sees humanity as a force to unleash.
...
The question is no longer how to distribute scarcity.
It's what you'll do with abundance."
I know what I want to do.
People don't realize how obsolete Bill Gates' vision for managing humanity has become.
For 30 years, the dominant model was simple: the world is a scarcity problem. Not enough food, not enough doctors, not enough energy, not enough of everything. So you need a central brain. Global institutions, foundations, summits, top-down programs. Experts in Geneva and Seattle deciding what billions of people eat, how they farm, what they need.
That model made sense in a world of scarcity.
That world is ending.
In the next few years, abundance arrives through robotics. Not in theory. In your house.
Optimus is already in early production on a high-volume line in Fremont. Picture what a humanoid robot does once it lives with you.
It cooks your meals with whatever is in the fridge.
It runs your vegetable garden. Plants, waters, weeds, harvests. Every single day, never forgets.
It builds your furniture. Show it a photo, it measures the room, cuts the wood, assembles.
It fixes the leak, repaints the wall, redoes the tiles.
And if you want, it teaches you to do it yourself. Not because you have to. Because you enjoy it. Craft becomes a pleasure, not a necessity.
Now zoom out.
When a robot can grow food in your backyard, build in your garage and repair in your home, a huge part of production comes back home. Back to the village. Back to the region.
Supply chains spanning four continents to make a chair? Obsolete.
Food systems dictated by a handful of global actors? Challenged.
Dependence on centralized programs to "feed the world"? Fading.
Globalization was a solution to the scarcity of labor and skills. Robotics removes that scarcity. And when scarcity disappears, the need for central planners disappears with it.
The funny part: Gates himself said that making things, moving things and growing food will become "basically solved problems." He sees the abundance coming. He just still imagines it being managed from the top.
That's the blind spot.
Because the stack that delivers abundance isn't being built in Geneva or Davos. It's being built in Fremont, Starbase and Memphis.
Look at what Musk is assembling.
Optimus: physical labor. Food, building, repair, care.
Grok: intelligence. A brain that plans, teaches and advises, available to everyone.
X: information. A real-time global square no institution controls.
X Money: value. Payments and savings native to the network.
SpaceX and Starlink: connectivity anywhere on Earth, even off-grid. And beyond Earth.
Labor. Intelligence. Information. Money. Connectivity.
That's the full stack of a civilization.
And every layer pushes power toward the individual, not the center.
The globalist project was: centralize to manage scarcity.
The new stack is: decentralize because scarcity is over.
One sees humanity as a problem to administer.
The other sees humanity as a force to unleash.
You don't need a global governance plan for people who can feed, house and educate themselves with a robot, an AI and a satellite dish.
That's why Gates' vision is obsolete. Not evil. Not a conspiracy. Obsolete. Like a fax machine. Built for a world that is disappearing.
The 20th century asked: who will manage humanity?
The 21st century answers: humanity will, with the right tools.
The question is no longer how to distribute scarcity.
It's what you'll do with abundance.

A delete function for the immune system would be incredibly valuable.
Today, in collaboration with Anthropic, we’re excited to share rapid initial progress towards an antibody treatment for food allergy, which affects over 200 million people worldwide, discovered with the help of Claude.
At Divergence Labs, we believe that AI can unlock the next generation of antibody therapeutics with more effective mechanisms than before. Such mechanisms are urgently needed in food allergy, which involve overcoming one of the tightest affinity protein pairs in immunology, IgE and its receptor FcεRI, on mast cells.
Treatment with Xolair—the only approved antibody for food allergy—sequesters circulating IgE, but mast cells remain sensitized for weeks to months due to the extraordinarily slow dissociation of IgE from FcεRI.
We envision a treatment that actively pulls IgE off of FcεRI, without waiting for natural dissociation. Like picking a lock, this requires the right combination of geometry and force.
Our research team, working with Claude, ideated on mechanisms to accomplish this disruption, and converged on an antibody format with two arms with different functions and epitopes. Within one month, we designed, synthesized, and experimentally confirmed the biophysical function of the two arms, which we are now assembling into full therapeutic formats.

Trump is banning the terms AI and wants people to use Super Intelligence because all of his friends and business associates purchased domains, IN SIZE, for super intelligence. This is another grift to make a quick buck.

In laymans terms,
Titanium implants are strong and the body accepts them, but they’re way too stiff
because the metal takes almost all the pressure, the real bone next to it gets lazy and starts to weaken over time (like a muscle that doesn’t get used).
This was the issue with earlier titanium implants and joint replacements
the new implant though are made from a special zinc alloy shaped like a lightweight, sponge-like lattice
it is flexible and almost like real bone, so it shares the load properly and doesn’t cause that weakening problem
Whats REALLY fucking cool is that its also designed to dissolve over time
So its a temporary implant, and as it dissolves, it releases minerals and ions that actually promote your new, healthy bone in its place
When the job is done, the implant is mostly gone and your own bone has taken over and is the proper strength
-medical engineering is a marvel
today while talkin to my friend (who’s a doctor) I learned something really crazy
That the titanium implants don't just sit in bone they actually bone grows into them
the oxide layer on titanium surface is chemically close enough to biological tissue that cells can't find the boundary so they erase it
osseointegration isn't the implant holding on it's biology deciding the metal belongs there
the skeleton adopts the foreign object as its own
Cyborg vibes

It took about five minutes for Jesse Dalton’s iPhone Duo dream to shift into nightmare mode.
He had only opened and closed the Duo four or five times when the hinge got stuck at a 45-degree angle. Dalton tried to pry it open and heard a loud pop.

They extract all of the person’s wealth until they qualify for medicaid, at which point the state pays for whatever time they have left. This is explicitly the business model. This will become extremely politically salient in the coming years.
