An early performance SUV that never got much attention. The first-gen X4 M40i. ran the N55 3.0 turbo straight six with 360 HP. Closer to the old F25 X3 35i than any full M product. Its closest German rival at the time was the Audi SQ5 Sportback, only with... show more

The tech is cool, but the bigger thing here is the product experience. Not "make me a video" More like "give me a character I can interact with in real time" That feels way closer to where consumer social AI is headed than another video gen model.

The phone threshold is even harder than the storage number suggests. A phone exposes only part of its memory to an application, and the model must share that budget with its KV cache, activations, runtime, and the rest of the product. At 3.9 GB, 1-bit Bonsai 27B clears that threshold with room to work, making 27B-class local AI possible on a phone for the first time. (Demo Mode: cached & prefilled image context)

The MK1 Scirocco was styled by Giugiaro and launched six months before the Golf it shared its platform with. For the MK2 in 1981, VW brought design in-house under Herbert Schäfer - Giugiaro submitted a proposal and it was rejected. The result was a longer, lower, more aerodynamic coupe that was 10% more slippery through the air than its predecessor, assembled by Karmann in Osnabrück throughout its eleven-year production run. The range ran from a 1.3L base model all the way to the GTX 16V - which used the same 1.8L 139 HP 16-valve engine as the MK2 Golf GTI. A coupe that shared its running gear with one of the most famous hot hatches in history, in a body that the Golf GTI never had. Produced until 1992. Never directly replaced really. This Scirocco in the video is a GT.

The 525e was designed at a time when power was no longer the only thing that mattered. The e stands for eta, the Greek letter used in thermodynamics to denote efficiency. BMW took the M20 2.0L petrol engine, stroked it to 2.7L, and optimised it not for peak power but for maximum torque at the lowest possible RPM. The result was 125 PS, almost identical to the 520i alongside it, but with 240 Nm available from just 3,250 RPM, which was more low-end torque than even the turbocharged 524td diesel at the time. 0-100 km/h in around 11 seconds is honest about what it is. What those numbers don't tell you is that the 525e pulls from 1,500 RPM, cruises at motorway speeds without working, and does it all with the inherent smoothness of a naturally aspirated inline-six that simply cannot be replicated by a diesel or a four-cylinder. Fuel consumption ended up being somewhere around 8 to 9 L/100 km and with a 70 L fuel tank the car could even do 1000 km trips. BMW sold it with a very long final drive ratio specifically to keep revs low at speed. It was designed for people who drove and appreciated the journey rather than the sprint. A slow BMW that is genuinely enjoyable, in the most honest way a BMW can be.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth rejected calls to publicly release the full video of a boat strike that the military carried out in early September. That attack was the first of more than two dozen strikes on what the administration calls "narcoterrorists." At the same time, the Senate is debating and is expected to pass its largest annual bill to authorize the Defense Department. Lisa Desjardins and Nick Schifrin have more.

The BMW Z8 was a halo roadster that arrived almost by accident. A V8-powered grand tourer built with real presence, real craftsmanship, and a design that instantly became iconic. At the time it was compared with cars like the Aston Martin DB7 Vantage, Ferrari 360 Spider, and Porsche 996 Carrera 4S or Turbo. That alone shows what level BMW was aiming for. Yet the Z8 was never followed by anything similar. It feels like a car from an era when BMW still allowed itself to build something purely because it was beautiful and special, not because it fit into a product plan.

The first Surface ran on Nvidia Tegra ARM chips precisely because the graphics processor and drivers were so much better than others and Nvidia was a fantastic partner. Windows 8 on ARM supported Qualcomm and TI as well. Slide below is from the CES event Jan 2011. It was later that the switch was made to QC only. Here's an old school Windows Phone video of the first time Windows ran on Nvidia Tegra ARM using the desktop compositor which was a BIG deal. Sept 2010.

The boys from The All-In Podcast, Chamath Palihapitiya and @jason break it down: People want an experience more than they want a brand. This is what Tesla did to BMW. The Model Y is priced better and superior in every measurable dimension. The brands that bring abundance will command the biggest market share. With costs coming down on the Model Y and Cybercab, Tesla will be the winner that takes most.

Ali Yahya on how the crypto founder archetype has shifted: “There’s a strong sense that in order for crypto to succeed, it has to work with the system as opposed to trying to overthrow it.” “The vibe back when I joined was very cypherpunk and anarchic. Code as law was better than government law, and we would ultimately build a parallel financial system that would wholly replace the existing one.” “The most successful founders in this next era are gonna be the ones that are much more product focused, much more go-to-market focused, and also more pragmatic rather than ideological.”

BMW 320i, E30. A small, lightweight BMW with a straight-six and a manual. That’s all it needed. Just a modest 123 hp and 170 Nm of torque. It was about how the car felt and not how fast it could go. This 320i has near perfect weight distribution. Analogue, direct and completely connected to the driver. Simple, driver-focused cockpit with supportive seats. Build quality is high for the period, though plastics and electrics can degrade after 30 to 40 years. You don’t need huge numbers to enjoy it. The driving feel does the work. That is why this car has gone up in price as well because over the years its got tougher to find one.

Mercedes-Benz CLS 55 AMG, C219. This is what made it special. The design, a 4-door coupe when nothing else looked like this. Low, aggressive and completely different. Then the engine. 5.4L supercharged V8, the M113K or the V8 Kompressor. 469 hp and over 700 Nm. That was insane torque figures for the time and it delivered it the old AMG way, raw, instant torque. The only delay you got was from the gearbox, but that's one of the few downsides. On top of that, it was still a proper luxury car. Comfortable, refined and built to cover distance. Compared to rivals, this stood out, better engine, better presence and at the nobody else did 4 door coupes. That’s what made it special.

More details from yesterday "Lewis hamilton hepta champion took advantage of Suzuka GP week to enjoy Japan's evening, more specifically at the traditional Daikoku parking meeting in Yokohama. Several JDM cars such as Nissan Skyline GT-R, Toyota Supra, among others appear to the delight of enthusiasts. The driver practically stopped the meeting when arriving with no less than a Ferrari F40, the brand's iconic model that packs a 2.9 twin-turbo V8 engine and 478 hp of power. Its acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is in 4.1 seconds, with a top speed of 324 km/h"

$A 2.3 tonne SUV with a tri-turbo diesel straight-six makes more sense in Europe than almost anywhere else. The N57S used three turbochargers with two small units working in parallel below 1,500 RPM, handing over to a larger third turbo as revs climbed, producing 381 PS and 740 Nm in the F15 X5 M50d. 0-100 km/h in 5.3 seconds, which made it quicker than the contemporary X5 50i's twin-turbo V8 despite using a fraction of the fuel. That comparison is the whole point. The 50i's petrol V8 made more peak power, but the M50d beat it on torque, beat it on real-world overtaking response, and did it while returning genuinely usable motorway economy on long European journeys where fuel prices and distances actually matter. One reviewer put it simply: the M50d is the car that could convert petrolheads into dieselheads. Not as outright dramatic as the X5 M's S63 V8, and nowhere near as efficient as a standard 30d. But for European roads, European fuel prices, and European distances, the M50d sat in the one spot that made genuine sense.$

🚨 BRAND NEW $150,000 CADILLAC ESCALADE ALREADY ENGINE KNOCKING WITH JUST 18 MILES — CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING A man filming his brand new Cadillac Escalade-V “Magnus Frost,” one of just 255 produced, says something is already seriously wrong. The SUV has only 18 miles on the odometer. He says it never went faster than 50–55 mph on side streets while driving home from the dealership. Then his assistant starts the engine. Immediately… a loud engine knock. And right on cue, the dashboard lights up with a check engine warning. This isn’t some old beater. This is Cadillac’s flagship $150K+ performance SUV with barely enough miles to leave the lot. How does a brand new vehicle start knocking before the first oil change? If this happened to you 18 miles after buying it… what would you do next?

Europe's official grid authority has released its report on the nationwide blackout that hit Spain last year. And while the report treads carefully politically, its data make the cause clear. Wind and solar triggered the collapse. Within the first 80 seconds, Spain lost 2.5 GW of generation, around 10% of its national supply, with every MW of that early loss coming from renewables. Gas and hydro remained stable until the cascade was already underway. The report calls it an unprecedented speed of blackout. This was a textbook inverter chain failure, with renewables dropping so fast that the grid's stabilizers never had time to react. By midday, Spain's grid had virtually no inertia, nothing spinning fast enough to hold frequency steady. But to admit that outright would mean questioning Europe's green transition itself, something the report appears unable to do. So the event is officially described as "a rare local disturbance," rather than what it actually was... A systemic failure of weather-dependent power.

Now if I told you that a big heavy Audi sedan spanked the entire grid of sports cars like the Viper, Corvette, BMW M3 and Porsche GT3s, you wouldn’t believe it, but in 2003 that’s exactly what happened. Built by Champion Racing in 15 weeks, the SPEED World Challenge RS6 used a Cosworth-developed 4.2L twin turbo V8 making about 475 hp with a 6 speed quattro drivetrain. At roughly 1,383 kg it relied on torque, traction and tire life rather than revs. Randy Pobst won the 2003 drivers title and Audi took back to back manufacturers championships, with Galati winning multiple races in 2004.

Sam Altman: “If your product has any retention at all, you’re actually in really good shape” Sam reflects on the first group of users that tested ChatGPT: “This was back when the model was really bad. Very few of the users actually stuck with it. Retention was atrocious. But for the users that did retain, their usage increased over time.” He admits that OpenAI almost didn’t even launch ChatGPT because of how atrocious early retention was. But after reflection, he believes this is a really important learning for startup founders: “If you have a product that has any retention at all, you’re actually in really good shape. If it’s 5%, that can be totally fine. The default is almost all the way down in a straight line to zero. But I didn’t quite understand that as intuitively at the time.” Video source: Khosla Ventures (2025)
