Just a reminder to take your ticket with you when going to the airport, tickets lost even in fire still result in Max parking rate for your car.

Remember when Elon claimed the truck would serve as a boat?  I do.

“Wow, What a Beast!” Here’s the Non-Exhaustive List of Damages

The drive is pretty uneventful, but the aftermath? It’s pretty eventful. The repair bill just keeps multiplying. The driver reports:

The powered truck bed cover and tailgate electronics are fried. I guess the buttons to open the tailgate are unshielded electronics? I don’t know that I love that look.

Water AUDIBLY SLOSHING AROUND in the truck’s frame. WOW. Let’s hope that’s not anywhere near the super sensitive main battery pack…

A wheel well cover detached. Bolts yanked loose and gone. Not sheared… just missing in action. That is… not typically how automotive bolts work.

Some part of the tailgate assembly popped loose too. Neat!

 

 

Quote

Now, you’d be forgiven for thinking the Cybertruck could handle water below the wheel wells. Most trucks can handle that amount of water, and the Cybertruck’s hype-cycle made a big deal out of its waterproofing.

With a battery pack that explodes if it’s exposed to too much salt water, the waterproofing is sort of a big deal from a safety standpoint.

And then there’s the time the CEO casually tweeted that the Cybertruck could drive through “open seas.” Eventually, maybe even drive the wet way from Starbase to South Padre Island, which is a half-klick of open ocean.

 

 

Quote

For the record, the Cybertruck manual states that Wade Mode is rated for “approximately 32 inches” of water. Love when the manual approximates. “Approximately” 32 inches is also the stock tire height. But our guy’s tires? Nowhere near submerged. And yet, here we are.

The Edmunds test vehicle got rear-ended by a slow-moving, small sedan. Turns out the cyberpanzer isn't exactly bullet proof - it was totaled.

Also is it Germany’s most popular party?

No.  Well, sort of.  Maybe.  They placed second in the last election.  So no.

But...  The top party, the Union, is kind of two parties, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the Christian Social Union (CSU).  The CSU is in Bavaria and the CDU is everywhere else.  So it likely hinges on whether you treat the Union as one party (the two are probably more aligned than the Democrats!) or two.

However, the Union got 24.1% of the vote to AfD's 10.4%.  Even if you cut the Union in half for CDU and CSU (worst possible outcome, 12%) that is still greater than AfD.  So, now that I consider the exact numbers, the answer is no.  It's not.

Ack.  Disregard my last paragraph.  That was for the previous election.  Not this year's.  

In 2025 the Union got 28.5% to AfD's 20.8%.

It’s been two days and not a single reputable source has corroborated that a Tesla was the starting point of this fire.

At this point I do not care if every Tesla catches on fire. Just a completely worthless car company that needs to be shuttered. If you have one of these vehicles from America’s worst grifter I wish spontaneous combustion on it.

I almost wonder what he thinks about the fertility clinic in California being car-bombed, given that he has used IVF a lot, and that the guy who did it didn't want anybody having kids (at least he took himself out of the gene pool).

Bummer. Sucks that I sent traffic her way. When I read the snippet of the story and found the local news link I didn't think to check to see who the editorial author was, since the underlying facts of the situation were confirmed by actual local reporting.

Either way, you really Hate to see our forecasting and alerting ability be degraded so quickly and thoroughly. It leaves one in a state of Incredulity.

a buddy of mine at azure just sent me this with "WTF??". Why is Microsoft platforming musk at their developer conference? None of their developers are happy to see him or want his advice in building technology

msft is thrashing and flailing pretty wildly at the moment. It's a wild sight to behold.

Last night I saw about 15 or so very bright (as in as bright as the brightest star) satellites move in a line, one after another. Started just above the NW horizon, got brighter, then faded out before they got overhead. Each one was visible for maybe 5 minutes total. There would be three or four in the sky at a time. Probably lasted 20 or 30 minutes. They all followed the same track. 

Am I seeing Starlink satellites fucking up the night sky?

Rolling Stone: Grok Pivots From ‘White Genocide’ to Being ‘Skeptical’ About the Holocaust

https://www.yahoo.com/news/grok-pivots-white-genocide-being-215912338.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZHJ1ZGdlcmVwb3J0LmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAALBS6kE8yFdTwXiQ3lKIAeklyM8mjUcHDCIOhp7op0OaphItg4VbEcco2qLhaAtRrWjMC_0RW9YWPo_RrMUAO147n6eKeqblOJsFHSfdDOP59V86qo5GeyiIOBJRqt-5-pWNLEY-Hh63_YxGJlWL0mNE59faYv1rlLFZYXYPlCN2

Quote

Elon Musk‘s company xAI has now addressed recent strange behavior from its Grok chatbot, claiming that an “unauthorized modification” caused it to bring up the myth of “white genocide” in South Africa in response to unrelated prompts.

Meanwhile, Grok has started to dabble in Holocaust denial, saying that it is “skeptical” of the consensus among historians that six million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust and that “numbers can be manipulated.” It has also said that there is notable “academic debate” about whether that many Jews died as a result of the Nazi genocide — but that is not true. Whether these alarming comments were the result of the same internal programming change is unclear.

my buddy thinks it's a pressure play on Altman, since grok is also now hosted on azure via its LLM marketplace - the only place you can get your own personal "grok"
