A big step for 5G networks.
@SpaceX selected @Qualcomm #Dragonwing to accelerate @Starlink Mobile's nationwide 5G network, advancing 5G today with an opportunity to lay the foundation for AI-native #6G in the years ahead.
Excited to build Starlink Mobile with you & team @michaelnicollsx.

For those that missed it a goalie just killed a man. There’s lots of times in a game where coming together can happen and result in serious injury. It would be crazy to assume the goalie here was trying to kill him.
That being said there are some obvious differences between Owono and Neuer. For starters Neuer was in the box going for the ball. He won the ball. What he did isn’t even a foul, even though it was a physical play that left a player hurt. The attacker knows that when he’s in the box going for the ball the keeper will be going for it to.
Owono was not in his box. He was in the halfway line. He didn’t have the right to catch the ball. That alone is a red card. He wasn’t going for the ball, he was trying to stop the player. He lead with a flying knee and fist to stop the player from getting past him. It’s a straight red and a serious suspension regardless of how bad the player was hurt. It’s illegal play because of course you can’t throw a flying knee into an unsuspecting person. It’s wildly dangerous, and in this case literally killed someone. At a bare minimum he should never be allowed to play professional sports again.

Yesterday, a JetBlue Airbus A320 operating flight B61971 from Fort Lauderdale to Austin refused the heading they were given and declared an emergency.
When ATC issued a heading that appeared to take the aircraft toward a severe thunderstorm, the crew pushed back:
“So you're gonna make us go through a, uh, severe thunderstorm?”
The captain then made the call:
“So we declare an emergency, making a left turn heading 260 for severe weather avoidance.”
A good call from the cockpit crew keeping everyone on board safe.

Insane POV of the next-gen Tesla Roadster doing a kickflip, going up the ramp and 0-60 mph test.
That shot of the rear rocket thrusters in the first clip looks awesome.

Writing this in my personal capacity, but I have been flying these types of aircraft for more than 20 years, with over 8,000 hours, and have reasonable familiarity with how the charter world operates. I feel compelled to post after seeing commentary about the Lear 60 crash, from missile strikes to DEI to critiquing this poor woman’s final radio calls.
That last part is what I find most troubling. She was the second-in-command (SIC), and while she was empowered to point out mistakes as part of good crew resource management, she was doing her job, communicating with ATC right to the end in a terrifying situation. She likely knew before many of those calls that she was going to die. I have heard final calls from friends, from military pilots with thousands of hours in fighter aircraft, and they are just as heartbreaking because they know the end is approaching.
I understand the public interest given the footage and audio. But you do not know the aircraft’s maintenance history, whether there was a structural failure, if any failure was induced by turbulence, overspeed, or overcontrol, or everything happening in that cockpit. I am sure weather will be part of the investigation, but beyond that, it is speculation. The charter industry routinely hires commercial pilots very early in their careers to gain experience alongside an ATP-qualified captain before they move up to the airlines. She would still have the appropriate training, qualifications, and checkouts by an FAA examiner or designee.
Let people investigate, learn, and share the facts. Be respectful to those who perished and the families who carry their memories. God bless them and their loved ones.

Steve Young says Reggie White was so dominant that he could sack you whenever he wanted and would ask how your family was doing as he helped you up
“Whenever I played Reggie, we had to talk about it all week. Like, what are we going to do? How do we make sure that we have enough people? Where's the 12th person we need to try to take care and help? That was always the conversation because Reggie was the kind of guy that could literally, at the line of scrimmage, just take people and throw them and move them around. And then I was down on the ground.”
“The other thing about Reggie is Reggie was loud. He was all of that size in how he played. As I would drop back to pass, he would rush me, and you could hear him. He was just loud. And so as I'd drop back to pass, I would hear him, and I could hear him getting closer because you knew his proximity. And inevitably he would hit me. And as he hit me, he'd grab me. He was just a mammoth human. He'd grab me, and then he would turn back and fall backwards and let me fall on top. And then he wouldn't let go. He'd kind of hug me. And then he'd say, 'Steve, how you doing?'”
“I still remember. Reggie passed away of sleep apnea. So tragic. Just me saying the story makes me remember him very well. And he's like, 'Steve, how you doing?' I'm like, 'Not so good.' We had made friends as rookies—well, actually as seniors in college. We went to an All-Star game together. He was University of Tennessee, Baptist preacher. Here's this Mormon kid. And so we were just two peas in a pod. My dad helped him find an agent because my dad's a lawyer and he'd helped me, and so they got to be friends.”
“And so he'd have me, and then a few plays later he'd grab me again and pull me over on his back. And he'd be like, 'How's your dad?' And I'd be like, 'Reggie, let's talk after the game. I don't want to talk to you anymore.' Because I felt like he was trying to get to me because he hadn't seen me in a while, to catch up. He was sacking me to catch up.”
“But the reason why I tell you the story is that you've got to understand what it was like to be on the football field in front of 80,000 people. You've got to understand the adrenaline and the money that's paid to the individuals to get a job done. So the intensity would always grow as the game went on, especially as it was more important.”

Ben Horowitz: “The most dangerous thing going on in AI is Anthropic and Bill Gates”
“Anybody can go say, ‘AI is going to kill us,’ and you'll be on every major news station and every newspaper and so forth.
I think it's extremely dangerous, though, when it comes from Bill Gates because he is so credible, because he did build Microsoft, and people think of him that way, and then certainly he's been a big political donor, so he has a lot of political juice, particularly on the Democratic side.
The big risk that everybody talks about is that the models are going to recursively self-improve, and then they're going to take off, and then they're going to become so smart and run away from us.
Well, what would be the preconditions for that?
Ali Ghodsi from Databricks had a great formulation of, ‘Well, what would be the preconditions for that?’
And he had four preconditions.
One is that the next model has to require fewer GPUs than the last.
The second thing is the next model has to take less time to train.
And then the accuracy of the next model has to be better than the last, so it's got to be a better model.
And then finally, it's gotta keep happening again and again and again.
Zero of those four have been met.
We're not on track for any of those four to be met, and so we're really talking about a risk that's entirely theoretical at this point that we're not mapping to.”

You found it. 🍌
The banana at the Next Gen Roadster reveal wasn't an accident. It was an analog stopwatch.
A laser triggered the drop the instant the tires started to roll. We hung it at exactly the car's 0-60 time at the time of 1 second.
Banana hits the ground. Car hits the laser wall. Same frame.
Here's how we did it 🧵
