My friend used to drive one of these years ago and I asked him what it would cost to build it today. I will never forget his answer...
"We can't, we don't know how to do it."
If every world leader watched this latest video from @joebarnard, we might have world peace

More than a dozen flight tests and years of development, with countless hours worked by SpaceX engineers and technicians, all come down to this: the first orbital Starship launch carrying advanced Starlink satellites bound for space.
Watch “Go For Orbit” and experience the moments behind flying the most ambitious Starship mission yet
State-funded media in Canada isn’t legally allowed to go a single day without promoting communism online
Opinion: If Canada wants economic security, it must tolerate a bigger government hand in business theglobeandmail.com/business…
So many of the world’s problems would simply disappear overnight if Jared Isaacman were President of the USA
I find it ironic how Waymo is quietly entering the Canadian market as if the entire concept of self-driving cars is like some mythical technology in this over-regulated country of ours, when Teslas have been driving their owners around the GTA for years now
I hope Grok, Muse, Dots and the rest get together one day and make a coming of age movie. Like how humanity made Stand By Me

Wondering why does Canadian tech talent leave for NYC the second they graduate?
Because Toronto is full of wannabe Silicon Valley founders demanding 996 grind culture, cosplaying as the next Elon Musk, and paying Tim Hortons wages.
They want Stanford talent, OpenAI output, and McDonald’s payroll. And then these delusional fucks have the audacity to call it a “talent shortage.”
No, buddy. The talent isn’t missing. It’s just smart enough to leave.
i'm hiring a team of grinders who are early in their careers :)
> in-person, full time
> downtown Toronto
> non-technical
> $20-30/hr (depending on experience)
job will be doing spatial data QA at a stealth robotics startup, led by ex-execs at Cohere, NVIDIA, Apple.
pls shoot me a message or help me out by cfbr :)))

Everyone is always rooting for you. Your parents want you to be a great son. Wife wants you to be a great husband. Your boss wants you to be a slam dunk hire. Every first date you’ve ever been on they’ve been rooting for you to get laid. Every time you started to tell a joke people hoped it would have a hilarious punch line. Your proximity to anyone is a reflection of themself, meaning the deck is never stacked against you, and your failures are completely your own

I tested decision models against each other in a 2D physics based tower stacking game. Every 5 pieces, the platform base would tremor.
Each model received the same prompt and was tested on the same 10 seeds.
Models can choose to either drop the piece or adjust it.
If the model chooses adjust, it chooses from options to rotate CW 5 degrees, rotate CCW 5 degrees, move left one position, or move right one position.
This then repeats until the model decides to drop the piece or it hits a decision limit.
These were the best results from each.
The gold Drop-only line marks where the final height of the tower would be if the model decided to drop each piece immediately, without adjustment, on that specific seed.
i.e. If it finishes above that line the adjustment choices the model made benefit the tower compared to simply dropping the pieces
Despite trying many different types of prompts, Clef-Flash always decided to drop without adjustments no matter the prompt.
