- Noticeable that teenagers routinely demonstrate an ability to speak more clearly about right and wrong than almost every elected leader in the Democratic Party. (See also: gun control, gay rights, racism, etc.)

- They do not actually say it was an employee. They say that the change was made. They say going forward that no employee will be able to do this. But they do not say that an employee made this change. Elon did this personally.

- Possibly very good Rowan health news today. I had an idea to do a thing that would take a bit of time and effort, decided to do that thing, and did it. And then got super tired but hey the ability to do a thing without devoting my entire day to starting to do it is good
- It is wild how much "doing something impulsively" is just removed as an option under disability and that just seems normal until you actually manage it again
- My “an unauthorized modification was made at approximately 3:15 AM PST” T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

- I have not seen Andor S2 yet, but I liked the first season enough and have heard enough good things about this one that I don't see why they shouldn't give these guys a nice, clean spot 500-1,000 years after Rise of Skywalker and let them cook. Blank slate, fresh start.

- Huddle up, folks. I’m going to publish @jonbois.bsky.social ’s debut novel, 50007: AN AMERICAN FOOTBALL ODYSSEY
- Hell yes. Reminder that 17776 is an interactive masterpiece that I highly recommend gamedevs read. It’s like a wild, playful, absurdist love letter to games as a meaningful part of life. It’s deeply funny and touching.

- hot take: when you publicly play footsie with pseudo-science intended to rebut the idea of human equality - ideas like “men are more likely to be brilliant than women” or “Black people are more likely to be criminals than Asian people” - you have irrevocably forfeited any & all moral authority

- i am not even sure i would listen to you on technical questions. if you don’t have the sense to see the obvious deficiencies in theories of inherent group inequality then how can i trust you understand anything?
- Once a long time ago, I quietly refused to sit at a table with Charles Murray. Someone scolded me that this was an illiberal position antithetical to the spirit of free debate. In retrospect, I feel pretty strongly that events have proved me right

- Fuck this, absolutely fuck this, everyone who loves audiobooks loves their favourite narrators because they are great at their jobs and interpreting the author's words and they make the experience what it is www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...
- as much as i love narrating my own audiobooks, it’s hard to argue with the appeal of listening to a soulless robot calmly describe pivotal events from my adolescent sex life

- Joe Biden relitigation is catnip for the press because it gives them a chance to avoid saying difficult things about the present situation we are all in while also getting to talk about themselves
- Remember: an LLM cannot "admit" to anything, by definition. When you ask an LLM "Why are you doing this?" its answer will be a plausible-sounding string of sentences. You can actually ask an LLM why it did something it hasn't actually done and it will often "apologize" and "explain" why.
- We created a safer AV1 decoder, rav1d, by forking the dav1d decoder and rewriting the C code in Rust. It works great except our Rust is 5% slower than the C. We're not sure why so we're offering a $20k bounty to figure it out and make the Rust code faster. www.memorysafety.org/blog/rav1d-p...
