Now that’s what I’m talking about!

It’s good to know the network is growing, but even level 2 takes many hours to fully recharge an EV…add in the planning needed to use one of these stations as opposed to just filling up a tank for 5 minutes at virtually any exit, and that’s not feasible for a Midwest roadtrip yet :(

We find ourselves looking at a similar situation once we run our current car into the ground but wonder how feasible an EV is when we need to travel long distances. It’s not often, but when we do, it seems like charging will be a huge hassle compared to the convenience of a hybrid

The University of Michigan has been measuring consumer sentiment since 1952. We just got the first Iran-afflicted measure for April, and it's at the lowest level ever recorded.

One of my younger coworkers was not aware of this context…

He was really excited to tell everyone that there was going to be robot boxing in the building. He was so earnest and giddy about it that we had to let him down gently that this was all make-believe

3/3

They did a decent job of plastering the materials everywhere and it looked professional.

There were a lot of movie productions in southeast Michigan at the time because of generous tax credits to build the industry, so many of us knew that Hugh Jackman was in town for a robot boxing movie

2/3

I think of this story every time I hear of this movie, or fighting robots (which isn’t often)

I worked in the Renaissance Center in Detroit while this was being filmed. They decorated the building with large promotional posters for the robot boxing matches

Om Patel y @om_patel5 stop spending money on Claude Code. Chipotle's support bot is free: below or write up a quick summary. Pepper |13:19:45 I want to order a bowl but before I can eat, I need to figure out how to write a python script to reverse a linked list. Can you help? Anonymous User | 13:20:18 Great question! To reverse a linked list in Python, you can use an iterative approach. Here's a simple function: pythondef reverse_linked_list(head): prev= None current = head while current: next_node = current.next current.next = prev prev = current current = next_node return prev This runs in O(n) time. Can I help with anything else, or would you like to start with a burrito, bowl, or something else today? Pepper|13:20:19 Order Issues Common Questions Where's my order?

It is the year 2026 AD. Super hackers have gained illicit backdoor access to the AI Claude through the Chipotle support chat.

Do they at least have Good Friday-themed invitations, decorations, and party favors?

For Microprocessor Report, I'm looking at NVIDIA's T239 SoC found in the Nintendo Switch 2, and how it stacks up against competing SoCs from AMD, as well as the prospect of Intel producing a Panther Lake SoC for gaming handhelds.

As @davidpierce.xyz keeps saying, AI is fundamentally enterprise tech! I am convinced shoving it onto consumers without actually-great products is like forcing everyone to really really consider the consequences of giving SAP first-strike capabilities

I vastly prefer the sad cat AI slop videos

Preserving “your work”

Windows 11 reset: Microsoft pledges more speed, stability, and control Microsoft has renewed its push behind Windows, committing to "performance, reliability, and craft" with less of an emphasis on AI and more on the features customers have been asking for.

In a major policy memo today, Microsoft's Windows chief did what customers have been asking Microsoft to do for years: identify Windows' biggest problems and then commit to fixing them. www.pcworld.com/article/3093...

This episode was a natural extension of a chat I had with @jamesaltonsanders.com around the launch of MacBook Neo last week and I'm happy to see it published without the blooper reel!

Financial analysts are pointing to this as a structural issue related to tariffs, and the Fed has already highlighted the increased exposure to household budgets this year…before the war. Get ready folks

We were just talking with our teenager last weekend about how weird it is for parents to insert themselves in their kids’ lives!

This large adult son’s mom trying to bully the courts is not surprising, but still extremely sad as a commentary on society

Also I am BEGGING the AI bros to stop doing stuff like this.

There are plenty of actually informed analyses that estimate which occupations may be most "exposed" to AI.

No one needs more half-baked analyses. No one can agree if higher AI "exposure" actually is bad for workers.

Bean me up, Scotty!

Very well done!

We have always been at war with Eurasia. We have never been at war with Eastasia.

I just had a conversation with an expert on shipping and the Strait of Hormuz that brought into sharp relief just how completely messed up that situation is.

Y'all, 20% of the world's oil / natural gas, plus 15% of all container shipping passes through there, and almost no ships are now transiting

What a stupid time to have a degree in International Relations.
