Learn how to fight fair. A lot of people never learn this.
Don't bring up past events. Don't call each other names. Don't tell either set of parents about arguments. Stick strictly to the disagreement at hand. Apologize sincerely and grant forgiveness generously.

You get a letter in the mail.
Your fully-owned car is being migrated to Car 2.0.
This will not have a lot of tangible benefits for you, but everyone with your model of car must do it.
You have a year. If you don't do it within a year, you permanently lose access to your car.
It’s still sooooo insane to me that I bought Minecraft in 2009 and had an account for over a decade, but some wack-ass account migration happened and I missed my window to manually port my account (which I have to do WHY?) so now I just don’t have a Minecraft account anymore

You can tell AI text because it's turned to 11. The whole thing is written in ultra-dramatic voice. If one or two impactful sentences is good, then a hundred impactful sentences must multiply the impact, so that's how the AI writes, as though every sentence has to hit harder than the one before it. The text has no room to breathe.
Elon Musk just replied to a Japanese user asking him to buy a Japanese TV network.
His response? Not "I want to." Not "I don't want to."
"Would the Japanese government allow me to do that?"
That one sentence did more damage to Japanese legacy media than any criticism ever has.
He didn't say yes. He didn't say no. He asked the one question that exposes the whole system — because everyone already knows the answer. Japan's broadcast laws ban foreign ownership above 20%. The wall is real. The door is locked.
But here's what actually matters: a single post from a frustrated Japanese citizen reached the world's most powerful man — and he responded in under 24 hours. While Japanese TV networks spent decades deciding what their viewers were allowed to think.
Elon isn't really the story here. The story is how many Japanese people immediately said "please."

Today I got a @KLIMTechs microphone and a small @8BitDo micro controller.
Using the 8BitDo Android app, I programmed a button on the controller to a control key combo and then set that in @ChatGPT to toggle dictation.
Now I tap the button twice and dictation begins. I tap the button once and dictation ends. I dictated this whole comment using ChatGPT.
I did have to go back and fix the spelling of Klim and also add the @ signs. And the line breaks.
Did I mention: You can do this dictation in *any* program?
If you have the ChatGPT app running and you set a hotkey for hold-to-talk or hands-free dictation, you can dictate into *any* program: Word, Gmail, or whatever.
And it's so good. I just dictated some text with SCSI ("scuzzy") in it, and it transcribed it perfectly.
I also tried out some Romanian, German, and Hungarian, and it was only thrown off a little by the Hungarian; the other two were letter-perfect.

This is what the 8BitDo controller looks like. I hold it vertically with the buttons on top and the D-pad at the bottom.
The 8BitDO software is here:
play.google.com/store/apps/d…
(Not sure why the ratings are so low. It can be a bit unintuitive, but it *does* work.)
You tap around in the software to choose which keys to assign to which buttons, and then you have to make sure to hit a button to sync those settings to the controller.
ALT 8BitDo Micro tiny game controller, which can also be used as a remote control for ChatGPT in voice or dictation mode.

My personal settings:
A button: Control-`, which I use for hands-free dictation in ChatGPT. Two presses to start; one press to end.
Y button: Control-Enter, which I use in ChatGPT to submit. If I don't care to review the dictation text, I can just hit Y to send it as-is.
X button: Control-Shift-Enter, which is my "steer" shortcut in ChatGPT, to send input that should apply to whatever ChatGPT is currently in the middle of.

With Codex, you can type to your PC and it can write back. Or you can talk to your PC and it can talk back.
But at the moment what really appeals to me is that I can talk to the PC and it can write back. I click the little microphone, I talk, I click stop, and it transcribes my words *perfectly*. It's extraordinary how good it is. I don't have to say "comma" or "period", it just puts them in where they go. I can mix in a few German terms and it picks them up with no trouble.
Then I submit, and while I wait for Codex to do its thinking and reply, I can go talk to a different project.

I did not realize there was anybody who thought that Google's AI was progressing too quickly.
I resigned from Google today.
I enjoyed my work and loved the people, but my GDM team was working on a new generation of chips to make AI much faster and cheaper, and I think AI is already progressing too fast, so I had to quit.

Before September 11th, 2001, what were your chances of surviving a hijacking?
I asked ChatGPT (Astra, Extra High) to do the research, and here's what it said:
- Crew and passengers: About 99.96% [US cases as of 1974]
- Hijackers: About 95.0% [Worldwide cases]
Before September 11th you had an extremely good chance of surviving a hijacking if you kept your head down and didn't cause any trouble. For every 10,000 passengers and crew in a hijacking, only about 4 would die. Hijackers generally wanted to survive too, and usually did: Only 1 in 20 perished in the hijacking.
These were the facts that everyone knew. These were the facts that the September 11th hijackers took advantage of.
Here's the chat if you want to check the sources:

The reason no plane has been successfully hijacked since September 11th, 2001 is not because the TSA is confiscating tiny pocketknives.
