my cofounder presented a study that showed teenagers learn better if they can sleep in a little more, and the school came back with βwell we canβt adjust it now, we have a contract with the bus driversβ oh, so the school is for the benefit of the bus drivers?? much like the port is for the benefit of the longshoremen, and the polity is for the benefit of the politicians, eh?

deep german L. blowing up these cooling towers is stupid as hell. even if you close the nuclear plant you can use cooling towers for powerplants / data centers. the government rushing this through after it was revealed that the recommissioning cost was lied about is actual sabotage supported by nefarious foreign interests (russia aligned...) imho

when tesla claimed that they were going to have batteries < $100 / kWh, practically all funding for american energy storage companies tanked. tesla still won't sell you a powerwall or powerpack for $100/kWh. it's like $1000/kWh and $500 for a megapack. the entire VC sector in the US was bluffed and spooked by Elon. don't be stupid in this way again.

people donβt understand this, but because of the collapse of industrialized society (manufacturing leaving the west) whole generations of smart people in various fields simply didnβt pass on skills. in advanced manufacturing, *most* of the top talent is the equivalent of hedge chemists, or taking side gigs as data scientists, or are hobbyists, or retired. i assume this is Not true in China. the point is a lot of new expertise needs to build up here. a lot of that is going to come from outsiders, reviving lost arts, and sharing what they learn along the way, unlocking new resources. cc @SamoBurja
this is basically correct and is one of the main facts shaping the world today. most people, because they do not try to get big things done, have no idea. but if you travel to any rapidly developing country, you will gain perspective. things are being kept from happening

sunny day, so I went to check the California electricity price map. sure enough, pretty much everywhere, the current price of electricity is negative. poor generators that can't easily throttle their output, like nuclear or geothermal, apparently have to just pay for the privilege of outputting power, if they can't get rid of it any other way in certain areas, the pricing is quite negative

i've been going on and on about this, but basically, AI flips electricity on its head. previously, nearly half the cost of electricity to the consumer was allocated towards distributing it where (and when) you want it. AI data centers want upwards of hundreds of megawatts of power in one place, most of the time. (and for training they don't care about latency) The most constrained thing isn't even the energy itself -- there's a surplus during the solar peak -- it's often the sheer availability & the interconnection. It now can take multiple years to get a grid interconnect to draw power of this magnitude, if the location can even handle it. The capital cost of the power infrastructure is just a tiny fraction (like 3%!) of the capex of the compute, and even just the depreciation of the compute exceeds the cost of even premium power. Hence, AI hyperscalers and those that aspire to be in their class are traveling to where the power is, are building where power has been (and there's legacy transmission to support it, like old nuclear plants) and are getting into the business of actually building powerplants and reactors. Utilities and transmission and distribution companies, interconnection queues, all are used to react much slower -- over many years -- unlike the top technology companies, now vying to compete at the highest levels of AI performance. Since ~99% of energy technologies previously died withering while waiting for utilities to consider them bankable, this represents an extremely fertile, attractive new state of play if you're bringing a new energy technology to market (ππ»ββοΈπ). Whereas before you'd have to brave what was once called a "green valley of death", now you have teracap companies like microsoft bidding on: - Conventional, large nuclear fission - Small modular nuclear reactors - Engineered Geothermal - Fusion! - Stirling Engines π¬ - Who knows what else - Maybe you, Anon! Even Tesla is standing up gas generator arrays to burn fossil fuels for their AI power supply. Shit is getting real
man itβs so dumb that there was a fucking lab leak and coverup and the only people who are upset about it are weird nerds on here and, like, 911 truthers who believe in lizard people. in a sane society people should be pissed about the epistemic state of that every day

in my humble opinion this is v strong evidence that there is something; itβs not like people come up with high temperature super conductors randomly, hard to fake. finding a superconducting effect at any temp in an insulator is a strong sign, but, making it high quality enough to be room temperature is another great leap. iirc, the original authors made 8000 samples (correct me if iβm wrong @altryne) and achieved success <10% of the time. lots of room to improve quality and yield

every generation of technology there are control mechanisms that are implemented with some combination of evolving whatever had worked before and mixing in whatever was possible at the time. once a solution is found, it can take a very long time for anybody to recompile along a different technology stack. there's a lot in cars like this, internal combustion engines etc

nobody has an adequate mental model of how deprived independent hardware scientists pursuing holy grail technologies have been for $$. yes of course you are doing experiments in your kitchen, your shed, your basement, your garage. of course you are sleeping in the lab. that's all you get! be happy you get to pursue a dream. it is not like i have been replete with capital either, and this is *after* having been a favored one, of billionaires. thin days, indeed. but that means that the space of material technologies, hard technologies, is profoundly more virgin territory than people imagine. ripe for exploration -- for the bold

this squirrel thing is infuriating. this kind of stupid government overreach is exactly the kind of idiotic petty tyranny that trump supporters (rightly) rail against. you almost could not come up with a more perfectly designed scenario to get out the right wing vote. of course trump has already capitalized on this, and kamala has said nothing. could well tip the election. will we learn our lesson? will anyone

probably oversharing, personally i have pretty high confidence (like 80-90%) that the v high diamagnetism (even extreme) and flux exclusion behavior in some lk99 samples or related is due to superconductivity, and not some ferromagnetism, exotic super diamagnetism, but, the information ecology is so polluted that i think ekeing out clearer answers is going to take the hard work of proving it (or not? harder to prove a negative with a craft material) myself information from china is getting shut down by the government (due to trying to prevent stock speculation, apparently). people are tightening up. journalists are asking questions. normies are getting involved. none of this is helping answer the physics questions, so it's a better idea to just go out and look imo
