@ismh86 @jsnell Is SpaceX buying xAI enough of an worlds colliding moment to resurrect the Liftoff feed for a special episode?

Artificial Intelligence (as we know it) isn’t intelligent at all.

@overcastfm Playback speed settings by the 0.1 increment in CarPlay! This is an exciting day. And you said no new features! Seriously, I’ve wanted this for a while, just not enough to actually ask.

@drdrang Regarding 11/48th, do you think there’s a blog post or course notes somewhere that have the wrong answer and are in the training set? Either as a mistaken derivation or example of a potential mistake the student is supposed to correct? I did a quick web search (nothing), but equations are difficult to search for.

For example, I could imagine your post being something that could contribute to a bad answer (which doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have posted it).

@gruber, SpaceX isn’t public. I think it may be the world’s most valuable private company (if you trust the valuations). https://daringfireball.net/linked/2025/07/14/musk-gives-himself-a-handshake

@mattbirchler @gruber I turned off the reactions pre-Sequoia and have never noticed the pop up after upgrading on either my personal or work Macs. I use Zoom and Teams on both. Perhaps it is a bug?
Apropos of two sacks followed by a pick-6: that might be the worst drive in SB history, taking the mantel from the snap over Peyton’s head, for a safety, in the first play from scrimmage the year the Seahawks won.
@overcastfm Sometimes, I can’t reliably reproduce, the icons in CarPlay all mash up into the top left corner. I “think” it also used to happen before the big rewrite.
