Tesla will be winding down production of the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year to make room for increased Cybercab production

I'm not even sounding the claxon for this it's just horrible. Any text > 256chars is a valid root password, holy shit sshhole.com/

I was one of the last children to get Chicken Pox before the vaccine became available. It was a formative experience. If the vaccine had existed back then I wouldn't be the person I am today. But because it does, fewer people share the identity "person who endured Chicken Pox". I've often been told that I remind people of my uncle, who committed suicide in his 20s. So I should have been prepared for the possibility of overwhelming depression overtaking me as I approached his age. I wasn't. But sunken deep in that viscous nothing, thoughts of harming myself sparked a dim recollection of my father's enduring grief seated firmly where his little brother was supposed to be. Enough to string together the many sputtering-bursts-of-willpower it took to get myself in front of someone who could help. I've been on Bupropion for nearly half my life now, and it absolutely shapes who I am. Antidepressant technology all-but-eliminates many counterfactual versions of myself.There are experiences I will never know, like enduring a lifetime of depression without antidepressants. It may even make me less like my uncle than I otherwise could have been. There are ways in which the future is unlike the past. There is a profound and indescribable joy/contentment/humanity that comes of seeing and raising children who share aspects of my identity in one way or another. But I am not so narcissistic as to demand that future generations suffer preventable harms just to make them more like me. I want to leave my mark on the cosmic endowment, to see traces of my identity and values and ideas survive and flourish amid an abundantly safe, joyful, human future. But leave unbidden Chicken Pox and depression. Leave the colorblindness and insomnia too. Leave the caste system and assorted cruelties of my paternal and maternal ancestries. Leave every darkness endured only by dint of an uncaring universe before the caring parts of the universe grew strong enough. In the best versions of the future there are parts of me that survive only as cautionary tales and dreary footnotes, experiences and ways of being that will never again be realized. And this is as it should be. Not every change is an improvement, but every improvement is a change. What does not seem to change, what should not change, is the eternal hope that the next generation inherits a world made brighter by their ancestors' efforts. May we be so lucky that our children cannot truly comprehend the suffering of those who came before.

With last night's wins, Democrats in theory have enough state trifectas to pass the Interstate Compact and elect the President by popular vote.

What’s going to happen to open source? A prediction: Dependencies are over. The same Brotli vulnerability impacted .NET, Node, Bun, Envoy and more. Dependencies are too big of a target. When rewriting a dependency is one prompt away, why take the risk?

Writing this in my personal capacity, but I have been flying these types of aircraft for more than 20 years, with over 8,000 hours, and have reasonable familiarity with how the charter world operates. I feel compelled to post after seeing commentary about the Lear 60 crash, from missile strikes to DEI to critiquing this poor woman’s final radio calls. That last part is what I find most troubling. She was the second-in-command (SIC), and while she was empowered to point out mistakes as part of good crew resource management, she was doing her job, communicating with ATC right to the end in a terrifying situation. She likely knew before many of those calls that she was going to die. I have heard final calls from friends, from military pilots with thousands of hours in fighter aircraft, and they are just as heartbreaking because they know the end is approaching. I understand the public interest given the footage and audio. But you do not know the aircraft’s maintenance history, whether there was a structural failure, if any failure was induced by turbulence, overspeed, or overcontrol, or everything happening in that cockpit. I am sure weather will be part of the investigation, but beyond that, it is speculation. The charter industry routinely hires commercial pilots very early in their careers to gain experience alongside an ATP-qualified captain before they move up to the airlines. She would still have the appropriate training, qualifications, and checkouts by an FAA examiner or designee. Let people investigate, learn, and share the facts. Be respectful to those who perished and the families who carry their memories. God bless them and their loved ones.

Some interesting stuff from digging into @AnthropicAI's S-1 filing today: - Claude Enterprise users who don't use Claude Code spend less than $75/month on average, but the top 5% who do use Claude Code spend roughly 20x as much - They recently delayed pre-training a new frontier model for more than a month because they needed to improve security measures against model weight theft - Over 80% of Anthropic's revenue in Q3 2026 came from model versions released within the preceding six months - Anthropic expects to pay @SpaceX roughly $3.1B per month for compute once all contracted capacity comes online. They could effectively be paying $37B/year, up to $120.5B in total, but the contracts can be cancelled with 90 days' notice after early 2027 - Over 90% of contributions to Anthropic's own codebase in September 2026 were written by Claude. The average daily volume of code contributed per engineer in Q3 was 45x what it was in 2024 - Their five largest customers went from 36% of revenue in Q1 2026 to just 21% in Q3, but every single one of those five customers actually spent more in Q3 than ever before - They recognized a $2B operating expense in Q3 just for matching employee charitable donations. It issued roughly 28 million shares in October to settle the obligation - Their $42B Broadcom financing facility has an interesting clause. Normally, the notes carry 9% interest and convert into shares at a 10% discount, but if Anthropic misses certain revenue targets, the interest rises to 13% & the conversion discount increases to 15% - Google has the option to purchase up to $10B of additional nonvoting Anthropic shares at the IPO price - More than 11,900 customers now spend at least $100K annually with Anthropic. Over 1,900 spend $1M+ and roughly 250 spend $10M+ - Claude Cowork is seeing faster adoption than Claude Code did at the equivalent point after its launch

Is this shaping up to be one of the biggest prediction market whiffs of all time?
