Car Owners Are Revolting Over Tesla’s Self-Driving Promises An international backlash is growing over outdated Tesla hardware.

Drivers will tell you they cannot take the bus because they might have to wait ten minutes to get picked up but will gladly wait a decade for their car to be able to come and pick them up www.wsj.com/business/aut...

Oh. Also. Yes, I'm a lefty, which may have been a dumb decision but at least it looks cool when I'm practicing with friends!

Two bass guitars on stands next to each other. The left is a dark shiny finished electric and the right is a larger bodied acoustic with a natural wood finish.

Main guy is an old, cheap 4-string Peavey passive with tape wounds (which really helped ease in the callouses, but now I like the sound). Also have a Dean acoustic which is a dumb instrument for performing but is so easy to pick up it helps keep me honest on practicing.

I recently took up the bass guitar for the first time in my 40s.

At this point in my life, it's rarer to be confronted with something I am earnestly doing and genuinely bad at. Picking up ONE new hobby has been so focusing and restorative.

A Benefactor Gets Personal at the Museum She Founded 25 Years Ago

After 10 Years, She’s Still Waking Up on the Same Day

This is such an interesting series—a literary, cozy take on Groundhog Day that is about the journey and observations and people, but not bogged down by trying to science or lore everything.

Anyway, I am currently reading this, perhaps the first time in decades I've picked up a novel on release day.

How an Image Depicting Trump as Christ Sparked a Backlash on the Religious Right The president’s social-media posts triggered strong pushback from the religious right, and it could be a liability for Republicans in the midterms.

As someone Evangelical adjacent—this has be SO WEIRD. Family back home talk to me about faith & politics. I read The Left Behind Books!

An Inside Look at OpenAI and Anthropic’s Finances Ahead of Their IPOs Silicon Valley’s hottest startups have the same challenge: funding giant computing costs.

Also, I need folks to go back and look at the story again and realize the charts use the same vertical scaling to give a consistent sense of value: www.wsj.com/tech/ai/open...

Two bar charts showing annual profit for OpenAI and Anthropic. Both show negative actual values for 2024 and 2025 then a series of negative values for projections the next few years. OpenAI goes from around negative $50 billion to a little under positive $50 billion 2029 to 2030 and Anthropic goes from a small negative to a sliver of positive 2027 to 2028 which grows to somewhere in the about 20 billion positive range in 2029. Above the bars are level indicators for most of the projections indicating without model training costs revenues would be tens of billions of dollars higher.

"OpenAI expects to spend $121 billion on computing power for AI research in 2028. That means the company anticipates burning $85 billion that year even after almost doubling sales from the prior year. Such losses would dwarf those of virtually any other public company in history."
