From last year:

> Messages sent to 4chan's press email went unreturned. One of the two dozen or so alleged moderators purportedly exposed in the hack wrote back using their 4chan email address to say that the site had released a "video statement." The user then pointed Reuters to an unrelated, explicit four-minute video montage. A request for further information was followed by a link to a different video with similar content.

I really thought it was going to say that they sent them to Never Gonna Give You Up, but a shock video is about as funny.

Europe and the US need to bring manufacturing of EVs, batteries, solar, and relevant components back locally. Use automation to make it more feasible. We need rooftop solar + regional SMRs for a cheap, stable energy supply.

To do so, we need to adapt regulation & deregulate. This needs to happen now. If we continue on like this, we'll decelerate back to the stone age.


The same way that I handle anyone who blindly trusts anything on the internet. Could be an LLM, TikTok or YouTube video, Wikipedia article, news article, whatever.

It usually involves some form of "well, no, hold on..."


I use LLMs as a coding assistant. I don't vibecode. The result is that I'm actually improving my skills much faster and better than before, while also working far more productive.

What is your Workflow?

Residential prices:

100 Mbps down / 15-35 Mbps up, unlimited data, includes hardware rental: €29/month in Europe, $39/month in the US.

200 Mbps down / 15-35 Mbps up, unlimited data, includes hardware rental: €49/month in Europe, $69/month in the US.

400+ Mbps down / 20-40 Mbps up (QoS higher priority), unlimited data, includes hardware rental: €69/month in Europe, $109/month in the US.

A good high-speed fiber connection is obviously better quality and value; but if you don't have one, then Starlink is absolutely the most competitive option you're going to get.


I don't have a lot of data points, but in metropolitan France at least I think you would always be better off with either a fiber or a 5G subscription, because it will be cheaper for more throughput, and because fiber is very widespread.

In Germany I think you are still better off with a cable subscription which also seems to be widespread in my experience and is cheaper than Starlink even if it's not as good as French deals (I only take in account offers without a contract for fairness, but if you don't mind you may be able to get even cheaper offers).



For Kamala I tried “Hello” and the output was “What can be, unburdened by what has been.”

For Trump, I tried “Hello” and the output was “Hello, and let me tell you, it’s a beautiful hello, maybe the greatest hello in the history of hellos, believe me.”

I don’t know what to make of that.


It's nothing new though. Forum spam has been around since the early internet. The only difference is that spammers use LLMs now, instead of $0.08 worth of "freelance writing".

Wired and wireless will always co-exist. Your casual consumer prefers wireless. Professional audio equipment for mixing and critical listening will never favor wireless over wired. For pros, $20-50 wired IEMs beat $250 Airpods every time.

The same applies to pro gamers. Latency and empty batteries are a big no-no.


Looks interesting. I was somewhat skeptical, but it appears to be a legitimate open protocol. You can use it to build a search engine for products across many smaller stores, and facilitate ordering from within your app, which appears to be what Google Shopping and the above website are both doing. Sort of a decentralized Amazon MFN.

It's also designed to be used by AI agents. This should enable any AI agent to discover products and purchase items from any UCP-enabled store, in a safe way.

Here's the spec: https://ucp.dev/latest/specification/overview/

Every Shopify store appears to already support it. Example: https://shop.spacex.com/.well-known/ucp


Grok 4.20 is currently in beta and ranking #4 on arena.ai for text generation, only beaten by Claude Opus 4.6 and Gemini 3.1 Pro. Grok 4.1 Thinking is in #9, still a top model. Grok Imagine is consistently in the top 10 for image and video generation, ranking #1 for Image-to-Video.

If you meant code generation, Grok has never really been a top model for that purpose. Claude remains the undefeated king there.
