I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes
Video obtained by CNN shows the rear landing gear of the jet buckling and the right wing shearing away in a fireball after the plane landed hard on the runway.

“I thought: America is a free country with respect for human rights,” he said. “I had no idea it was like a dictatorship.”
The Times spoke to people being trapped inside a Panama hotel after deportation from the US and the individual stories of horror are almost too much to bear www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...
Genuinely I'm starting to think many Americans truly think Canada is a territory and not a sovereign nation.

Yeah I know people say anxiety is bad, but mine has just been collecting all the possible things that can go wrong so far. Once it has an exhaustive catalog of every possible mishap, it’ll move on to suggesting solutions and then you better watch out.

History: “Eventually the incompetent fascists invariably lose power and then society recovers in a new and stronger way” Me: “Oh, cool, so what has to happen for the spell to be broken??” History: “mmmm…well, that part is less encouraging.”
Is anybody else having trouble enjoying any drama, no matter how far fetched, if it involves international relations or politics?

Philip K. Dick on seeing Meat Loaf on TV (from What If Our World is Their Heaven?: The Final Conversations of Philip K. Dick)
Dick: OK, I watched the guy first with the sound off. And I thought, if he's as bad audibly as he is visually- he is so bad that nothing like this has ever existed. OK.

LEE: (laughs) That's pretty bad. But he does have a strange-

Training Grok 3 took Elon 200,000 GPUs and untold billions, and it's ... decent at best? I wrote about AI's commodity problem www.platformer.news/too-many-ai-...
On one hand, it’s legitimately striking that xAI could stand up a data center with 200,000 GPUs and train a decent model in less than two years. On the other hand, it would have been more striking had DeepSeek not accomplished a similar feat at a tiny fraction of the cost, and with worse technology. 

It’s too early to say with any certainty how good Grok’s models are. Leading researcher Andrej Karpathy finds that it passes many of the tests he throws at it, but it also fails almost as many. Even if you accept, though, that this is a state-of-the-art model, not a single person working in AI believes it will stay there for long. Leading AI labs push out new models every few days, and any innovations are almost all quickly copied and absorbed by their rivals.

A stack of cards with a large green 7 pointed asterisk. Text in blue says “A strange game
The only winning move is not to play.” Next to it is a laser cut wood block for the asterisk and a blue mechanical pencil.
