This is absolutely WILD. Here's the dashboard video posted by @fritschner.bsky.social. Fast forward to about 1 minute. An ICE officer jumps out of a van and pulls a gun on this woman immediately before lying and claiming she "almost ran us over." *profanity warning if watching in public.

Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

This article is even funnier when you find out the guy who wrote it is a director of Effective Altruism Australia

We estimate the cut to the NDIS in 2029-30 of $16.4bn is equivalent to around 52,000 jobs in the care sector - around 94m hours of paid care. Those care needs will not disappear they will just fall on families (especially women) live.thepoint.com.au/2026/08/the-...

a trillion in ARR wld be about $40 per month/household globally. A similar 100 mbps plan in massive lower income countries like the Philippines will cost you about 90% less than starlink's (negative ebitda) 100/mo plan. government budgets globally could get you maybe 10-20bln just a straight up lie

Granted I'm not smart enough to be a SpaceX investor but if I was, I think I would have questions about why you need humanoid robots working in factories on the moon, presumably making things that would need to get shipped back to earth

if you're reading all these articles as they come out and assuming the story is "these models are escaping containment and causing danger" and not "this is a PR campaign by companies desperate to build hype" I think you are very silly.

It keeps happening... It'd be great if these companies could spend a little bit more time on network security and a little less time vibe coding.

Somehow things that would have been a background gag in a Verhoeven movie are now just real

So i opened Ars for my periodic dose of hate-reading and i found the local kommetariat coping by proposing robotized Starship heat shied replacement. This inspired me to download 5gb of Elon's faux-4K and look closer at the tiles, because i really didn't like how it looked while watching live.

Don't look now, but the world has now installed 3TW of solar. Took 10 years to get from 100GW to 1TW. Less than 3 years to get to 2TW. Less than 2 years to get to 3TW. Analysts expect *9TW* by 2036.

The World Crossed a Major Solar Milestone. No One Noticed

The next phase of the boom may reveal a shift in who is gaining access to the technology.

Tesla FSD v14 Lite tied to rising HW3 computer failures, owners report

A growing number of Tesla owners running the new Full Self-Driving v14 “Lite” build on Hardware 3 (HW3) vehicles are reporting Autopilot computer overheating alerts — and, in some cases, outright computer failures. The reports have stacked up in the two weeks since Tesla pushed v14 Lite to wide release, and four owners have contacted Electrek directly about the same problem.
