Hard to fathom the shift in VA politics since I moved here in '01. House delegation was 4 Ds 7 Rs (3-8 in '02 midterms) & both Senators were Rs. GWB won '00 +8 and '04 +8.2. Fast forward to '20, Biden wins by 10-11 pts, Ds have 7 House seats & both Senate seats @vademocrats 1/

New tests of @Tesla Full Self-Driving’s ability to react to pedestrians.
This time the child-sized mannequin is stationary in the middle of the road. FSD v12.3.3 has nearly 10 seconds to see the child, which FSD registers as a person 5 seconds before it runs the child down.

Probably a good time to check in on the tech bros for some foreign policy analysis.

Watching a group of dudes who normally preach from Ayn Rand's book of philosophy suddenly demand Biden rescue $SVIB depositors while simultaneously doing everything possible to cause more panic in mkts and around regional banks.... it's a #wholeotherlevel of hypocrisy

Gotta say, the VCs who caused this bank run freaked out at the lowest risk profile imaginable (regulated depository banks in the US).
What does that say about how they’ll handle your company when there’s *actual* risk involved?
Silicon Valley libertarian elites 2015-18: Too much govt regulation! Remove stress test for banks sub $250b deposits. Private sector knows best
Same SV libertarians 2023: SVB is dicey, EVERYONE PULL DEPOSITS NOW. Bank run? Survival of fittest, rugged individualism blah blah 1/2
< 20-25% SVB deposits vanish in 48 hrs & SVB becomes insolvent >
SV Libertarian elites after bank run: Who could've predicted?? Gotta be JPow and Yellen's fault. We need govt to step in and bail out our investments. And why wasn't there better govt regulation all along?? 🤣🤣

The 2022 tweet from David Sacks is referencing the Ukraine war, a completely different subject. Quintanilla admits that here: mobile.twitter.com/carlquintanill…

Why is $TSLA plunging?
@ElonMusk: "Full Self-Driving...is the difference between Tesla being worth a lot of money and being worth basically zero."
Many competitors have driverless robotaxis but after 8 years of development FSD will still run down a child in a school crosswalk:

Dan O'Dowd owns a competing company writing self driving software.

Dan's previous attempt to show FSD will "run down a child" was debunked.

Another user performed a test and it worked as expected.

Tesla's FSD has over 55 million miles driven w/o any reported injuries.
Lol. @elonmusk had a heckuva conundrum with this advertiser. On one hand, he needs 'dem sweet sweet ad dollars more than a hobo needs a ham sandwich. On the other hand, *egads* it's promoting vaccines, which of course Elon despises. I guess the need for $$ won out #twitterisdead
Incredibly helpful thread to provide context for the DOE announcement tomorrow re: fusion. Even with this context in mind, this is still one of the most exciting developments in the energy sector in a very long time. Doc Brown would be proud.

Wondering how there aren't big crowds at #Mets games nowadays in the midst of an epic pennant race. @StevenACohen2, something must be done. Last night at Citi, 29k fans. ATL >42k, CHI & BOS (both dead in race) >32k. Our players need better atmosphere at Citi! Make it happen! #LGM

There's a good chance someone in this photo will create a wildly successful company, invent something amazing, or get elected to public office. Many will serve their new country in the military. And their children will love this country more than most of us can understand.
