A Kentucky officer ran 2,048 Flock camera searches to track the mother of his child. No warrant. No probable cause. No judge ever saw it. The Fourth Amendment protects Americans against unreasonable searches, and retracing where someone drove for five months is a search. And it’s why I take issue with surveillance networks like Flock.

NEW: El Salvador has issued 1,048-year sentences to some gang members convicted of drug trafficking, money laundering, and other crimes. The sentences come as President Nayib Bukele continues to wage war on criminals. Over 90,000 people have been detained in just four years after the state of emergency was adopted in March 2022. Remarkable.

3 months ago, $MU traded at $1,048. Today it closed right back there. That's when I published my Micron deep dive, arguing memory is structural, not cyclical, before even counting humanoids. Want to build your own memory thesis? Read my piece below.

Starship Flight 14 will deploy 26 next-generation Starlink V3 satellites into the constellation for the first time. Each V3 satellite is designed to provide: • 1 Tbps downlink capacity • 160 Gbps uplink capacity • Around 10× more downlink and 22× more uplink capacity than V2 • 2,048 downlink and 2,048 uplink beams • Six high-capacity 400 Gbps space lasers • 1.2 Tbps of RF backhaul capacity, more than 8× V2 • Approximately twice the solar power Together, these 26 satellites will add 26 Tbps of capacity to Starlink, around 10× the capacity added by one Falcon 9 launch of V2 Mini satellites. Future Starship launches will be capable of adding around 20× more capacity per mission than Falcon 9 launches with V2 satellites. Starship and Starlink V3 were built for each other. This combination will help Starlink serve millions more people with faster and more reliable internet worldwide. Flight 14 is targeting September 22, pending regulatory approval.

Gemini 3.1 Flash Live Minimal leads preference at 1,096 Elo but achieves 74.6% task success, while Grok Voice Think Fast 2.0 High leads task success at 94.6% with 1,011 Elo. GPT-Live-1 (Sol, low) has higher point estimates on both measures than GPT-Live-1 (Astra, medium), although their confidence intervals overlap.

It's only been just over 24 hours, and we've already raised nearly $40,000 from 344 individual donors! That's just shy of 5% of our $1,048,576 funding goal for 2026. Incredible outpouring of support 🙏
