In the near future, your Tesla will drop you off at the store entrance and then go find a parking spot. When you’re ready to exit the store, just tap Summon on your phone and the car will come to you.
FSD V14.1 Spends 20 Minutes Looking For Parking Spot at Costco This video is sped up 35x once we get hunting for a spot and during that time the car pulls of some really inellegent moves while searching. We did not once pass any empty available spots, the only issue is we didn't go deeper into the parking lot to search and we didn't sit and wait for people who are unloading their carts. I will post the longer narrated copy of this in a bit - but this honestly is incredible... the other thing worth noting is during the entire 20 minutes we searched for a spot not ONCE did a human driver or pedestrian look at the car and question what it was doing, we fit in the entire time very naturally.

…there is no linear blueprint for grief. One day you’re collapsed on the floor crying out the name Jesus in between labored breaths. The next you’re playing with your children in the living room, surrounded by family photos, and feeling a rush of something you can only attempt to define as divinely planted and bittersweet joy as a smile breaks through on your face. They say time heals. But love doesn’t ask to be healed. Love asks to be remembered. It’s humbling to realize that this magnitude of suffering didn’t steal my love for my husband. It amplified it. It crystallized it. I carry my Charlie in every breath, in every ache, and in every quiet act of day to day living as I attempt to relearn what that rhythm will be. And what I’ve realized through these past 30 days is the greater the suffering, the purer the love. And I have never loved him more than I do now.

Anything other than 5th from the right is wrong. I will die on this hill that I didn’t know existed until 30 seconds ago.

Ripgrep is slow. Nowgrep is fast, because I bypass the Windows slop and go straight to NTFS. Here's Ripgrep vs. Nowgrep searching through 300k files on a drive with 2M+. Nowgrep is written from scratch in C99. No borrow checker.

It's 2025! Be smart. If you're not updating your position in the depth buffer with a higher value than the previous one, you're basically staying behind!

Kickstarter was FULLY funded in 22 hours and 34 minutes! Huge thanks to everyone who contributed! Wasn't even sure if the $8000 could be reached, and it was hit within 24 hours. Really appreciate everyone's support so far! We'll see how many stretch goals can be hit! #gamedev

Fat Goblins #Kickstarter launched today and is already 60% funded. Insane! At the same time, I pushed out patches for today's playtest: * Improved networking stability x3 * Added resource text to ice map buildings * Improved server performance x2 * Redid the lobby system to support large parties It's been a stressful day! #gamedev #ゲーム制作

Another reason to stay away from Git. The fixation people have on including some language in a project, just for the sake of having it there and then bragging online about it, has really become tiresome. I hope other notable C projects will think twice. Engineering > Following the "latest trends"
Rust is going to be a mandatory part of Git 3.0. “On Git 3.0, nothing will work without Rust because it will be mandatory,” says Git developer Brian Carlson (who, according to his bio has pronouns of “They/Them”, and is a “cat parent”). “Without Rust [a Git 3.0 build] will simply die and say that’s not supported.” Up until now, Git was primarily developed in C.

I saw this video this morning on my feed and I think it so eloquently explains what Charlie Kirk was put on this earth to do. “When people stop talking, that’s when you get violence, that is when civil war happens”

Like all of you, I am utterly stunned and heartbroken and sick to my soul today. It is unimaginable to write these words. I met Charlie Kirk when he was 18 years old, a young man so eager and determined that I immediately turned to a friend and said, “That kid is going to be the head of the RNC one day.” Charlie became even bigger and more important than that. It was a privilege to watch this principled man stand up for his beliefs and create the single most important conservative political organization in America. But more importantly, Charlie was a good man, a man who believed in right and wrong, who stood by his Biblical values. All of us will miss him, and I can’t imagine the pain of his beautiful young family, and we must all pray for them. And we must pick up the baton where Charlie left it, fighting for the things he believed in so passionately. And we must fight for a better America - an America where good people can speak truth and debate passionately without fear of a bullet. I weep for Charlie’s family, and I weep for my country today. Most of all, I weep for Charlie.
All it takes to make a good keyboard in 2025 is to not put a Copilot button on it.

This should be a primary concern of the entire software industry. But everyone's a joker.
Cars, bridges and houses are constantly battered by the elements, Software is made out of bits, that do not degrade. It stays the same. So why does software require so much more maintenance than cars, bridges and houses? piped.video/watch?v=EGLoKbBn…

Only 66 years from first flight to landing on the Moon in 1969. Here we are, 76 years later cannot yet return to the Moon. We should have been on Mars by now.
These two photographs are separated by only 66 years.
