if @elonmusk paid 100% of his net worth ($1.4 trillion) as a tax it would only cover federal government spending for 77 days. this isn’t a tax problem…

If Elon Musk paid my ultra-millionaire wealth tax, we could pay for child care for all three and four year olds in America.

@BenThePCGuy @pmarca Strange. I just tested @ChatGPTapp w/ a clean prompt of "what should I do tomorrow" & it mentioned Thursday in its reply. When I asked @claudeai, it showed "check current time" in its "thinking" text & referenced both "it's Wed night now" & "Thursday" (& asked for my goals).

@BenThePCGuy I recently added another line that helps: "If I make any reference to time or date in my prompt, be sure to check your time/date function so you have the proper context." You'd think it'd be automatic, but it isn't. It really helps AI keep timelines straight. cc: @pmarca

@BenThePCGuy It does sometimes get frustrating on simple questions where you'd think intent was obvious, but it also gives great insight into how much is assumed when you ask a question.

@eatinerni ??? It says "SOAP." I think putting soup on it would make it worse. 😯

@BenThePCGuy @MUKIDEZA2 You're barely scratching the surface! For just iconic military planes, we have these two, the Corsair, the Mustang... For non-shooting military, the SR-71 (though there was apparently also a shooting version). The US has made war into an art form... both for good & bad.

Positive Tesla Diner review from Forbes' Brooke Crothers: "On Saturday, the Tesla Diner was busy if not packed at times. And obviously not failing, though some blogs and reports want you desperately to believe otherwise. Contrary to all these eatery blogs and car blogs that say the Tesla Diner is a flop, a failure, a disaster, that is not true, as so many things that are often written about Tesla. There are car blogs that devote all their time to taking down Tesla. I went to the Diner on Friday April 3 and Saturday April 4. I estimate that on both days 90+ percent of the chargers (of the 80 Superchargers) were being used. By that metric alone, the Diner is a success. Yes, I’ve been inside the Diner when it’s slow. But as a Supercharger location with the option to grab a snack it’s a success. It seems that the ulterior motive of some “reviews” is to bash Elon Musk and tell you what a bad, bad man he is. That doesn’t give the reader an honest evaluation of the Tesla Diner as a great charging destination, which, again, is its primary purpose for the vast majority of visitors. It's extremely clean. If you want to come to a pristine place to eat, the Tesla Diner is it."

As an Iranian watching this rescue mission unfold, I was praying the American pilot would make it out alive, not just for him, but so the Islamic Republic could not use him as a bargaining chip or claim some twisted “victory.” At the same time, I felt a deep envy. Your government sent elite special forces, million-dollar aircraft, and moved heaven and earth to bring one American home. No hesitation. No excuses. In Iran, the regime uses human shields and recruited child soldiers to clear minefields during the Iran-Iraq war. They treat their own people like disposable tools. They are now recruiting child soldiers as we speak. The Islamic Republic has zero regard for human life. That’s the brutal difference. One side risks everything to save their own. The other sacrifices their own to stay in power. This hits hard when you have lived under both realities.

@Viceroy_12 A key to winning a debate is knowing the proper meaning of the terms you use. You responded to a logical argument with nothing but slobber, hyperventilation, and a buzzword phrase generator. 🙄

@Viceroy_12 You're clearly the product of failing school systems that no longer teach civics or history.

@Bralley_93 @alegretron @VigilantFox I'd argue that Maher doesn't have TDS. Maher has things he doesn't like about Trump, but he often (not always) tends to have cogent arguments to support his disagreement with Trump's actions. I may not agree with Maher, but debate or dislike don't cross into derangement.

@hanaamurakami A culture of honor, respect, and discipline. It has its flaws, such as your effective lack of rights when arrested (from what I've read), but Japan does a lot more things right than wrong.
