The BMW iX3 misses its EPA range by 20%. Can we all agree the EPA testing cycle(s) are just a huge mess and no manufacturer should be allowed to "cheat" the system.

Community Notes will fail on every politically contentious issue where timing matters. I run an AI note writer. This is going to happen in the US next week.

Folks, Brazil is the perfect example of what I’ve said about this platform and Community Notes since Elon launched it.
Tonight and all day tomorrow, your feed will fill with thousands of posts claiming the Brazil election was stolen because Lula’s buddy on the Supreme Court extended voting by 2 hours.
That claim, we already know, is absolute bullshit.
Both campaigns asked for the extension, Flávio Bolsonaro’s included, after bus shortages and bad weather hit voters in several cities.

Almost every one of those posts will run note-free. The few that get a Community Note will get it after the damage is done.
MAGA propaganda spreads like wildfire here for one reason: Elon Musk designed it that way. Community Notes has always been a red herring.
Give it a few hours. Musk will repost one of his favorite stooges with a one-word “Concerning,” and that lie will land in front of his 241 million followers.
And Community Notes will never catch up.
So when I call Elon Musk Trump’s Joseph Goebbels, I mean every word.

Thank god we can find and intercept lost hikers as they mistakenly run away from rescue in dense forest!
Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks.
By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time.
Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.

MAGA, once again, is lying about a "rigged" election.

"The campaigns of Lula (PT) and Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) requested this Sunday, October 25th, that the Superior Electoral Court extend the voting hours for the second round until 7 PM in localities affected by problems that hindered voters' access to the polls. The requests have different justifications."
"While the PT campaign points to failures in public
transportation, the Bolsonaro campaign mainly cites rain, flooding, road closures, and changes to polling locations."
"Flávio's campaign is requesting two additional hours of voting in 17 municipalities in São Paulo, Paraná, and Santa Catarina. The team is also requesting that the announcement of the presidential results only begin
after the polls have closed in the areas covered by the extension."

The reality is this completely devalues Starlink.
If one man can arbitrarily shut off your Internet, it's less dependable than your already hit or miss Internet connection.

For anyone claiming to care about human life, the solution is simple:
Russia, which started this unprovoked war, stops fighting and withdraws to its borders. The killing would end immediately
If the X rumor is correct and Ukraine got unregistered Starlink terminals onto Starshield, that's a registration problem, not a prohibited use. The missions were authorized. It's like putting your SIM in an unregistered phone and the carrier throttling every line on your plan in response.
Doc Holiday retweeted
Nice try @KatieMiller, but basic engineering doesn't care about your PR spin.
Here’s the official SpaceX page for Starshield. It explicitly states that Starshield leverages the Starlink network architecture. When SpaceX unilaterally throttled the core physical network backbone, they choked out BOTH systems simultaneously.👇

Let's talk about Ronald Araujo because this guy is actually crazy 💀
The way he was throwing himself at every ball today, just flinging his legs to clear anything that came near him. He doesn't even care who's coming or how dangerous the situation is, he just wants that ball gone... Bruh 😭
That moment where he went down and still tried to clear the ball with his head? Nah, this guy is not normal.
He was fighting for every single ball like his life depended on it. And the best part is that he wasn't just doing all this defending, he also helped create our opening goal and nearly scored himself.
This is the kind of defender you love to have on your team. He'll put his body on the line for every ball.
Araujo was my Man of the Match today. I need to see more people talking about this performance because WHAT WAS THAT?
Doc Holiday retweeted
Elon definitely lied.
There is no debate about this.
He literally blamed the White House last week. That was a false statement, and he knew that when he said it.
Doc Holiday retweeted
It’s a remarkable coincidence that SpaceX discovered and closed a “loophole” in a way that severely harmed Ukraine in the very same week that the White House had a dispute with Ukraine. Just astonishing luck that SpaceX lawyers got to the issue at the very same time by chance!
Correct.
Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be.
Starshield, a different system, is controlled by the US government. What they decide to do is up to them.
Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week.
Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact.
Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war, as all other means of communication were destroyed or jammed by Russia.
SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR.
That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell.
End of story.
Doc Holiday retweeted
russian soldiers, like any other terrorists, had a choice not to take part in terror. Ukrainians had no choice about being invaded.
Yet somehow, @elonmusk , your sympathy is reserved for the Russian “kids” who came to kill, rather than the Ukrainian kids they came to kill.
Doc Holiday retweeted
No amount of spin or number of tweets is going to change the fact that Elon has damaged the Starlink brand by simply lying about his activities.

Talk to Putin. He is the only person on the entire planet who can stop this war. He started it.
