This guy invented reusable rockets that land themselves. I'm sure xAI is not just one guy. Plenty of talented people work there.

Nothing.

Kilocode is a good alt as well. You can plug into OpenRouter or Kilocode to access their models.
andrewinardeer··on Level S4 solar radiation event
Any tips on best practices in how one can protect homelab rigs from a Carrington level event? Let's say we were given two days notice that the mother of all S4s was inbound. Just switch everything off?

What if one of my homelabs needed 100% uptime to meet my wife's SLA for messaging? Is this able to be protected?

Whoa boy. I caught Landman for the first time today because my partner was watching it.

Oil, cigarettes and alcohol were all clearly being pushed and promoted. Pretty sure it was episode four where a women rather matter-of-factly stated that one alcoholic beverage when pregnant was perfectly fine - inso much that it was good because it helped her body generate breast milk. Such a weird statement to shoe-horn into this soap opera.

Coupled with BBT chain smoking the coffin nails, the rampant shit-canning of renewables and incessant self promotion of how large and wonderful the fossil fuel industry is the money behind the show was as subtle as a sledgehammer.

Plus the sexual objectification of women in this show is ludicrous.

It's 2026. It seems everything old is new again.

Oh, and the

andrewinardeer··on Day Fifteen of Iran's Nationwide Protests: Sharp Rise in Human Casualties
The US and AU both have told citizens to get out of Iran in the last 24-48 hours. If they are unable to they should shelter in place.

I think it's about to kick off.

andrewinardeer··on Iran has now been offline for 96 hours
My fingers are crossed that whatever happens post current regime that life is markedly better for the Iranian people. I'd hate to see civil war or mass starvation. Their currency has fallen off a cliff and continues to do so.

Exercise can become a form of self harm. It did for me.
andrewinardeer··on Someone made a ton of money betting on Maduro's capture
Is this even news anymore?

Whenever a huge event occurs it's basically standard procedure to find someone making bank off it with prior knowledge on Polymarket.

andrewinardeer··on Trump says U.S. operation captured Venezuela's president Nicolas Maduro
Why not? The Venezuelan opposition will more than likely be installed and these are the people who won the previous election.
andrewinardeer··on Trump says U.S. operation captured Venezuela's president Nicolas Maduro
Maduro's last two elections werent even close to free and fair. To throw the phrase 'free and fair' into the same sentence as 'Maduro' is ridiculous.

Thank you. Enjoyed this read.

AI slop videos will no doubt get longer and "more realistic" in 2026.

I really hope social media companies plaster a prominent banner over them which screams, "Likely/Made by AI" and give us the option to automatically mute these videos from our timeline. That would be the responsible thing to do. But I can't see Alphabet doing that on YT, xAI doing that on X or Meta doing that on FB/Insta as they all have skin in the video gen game.
