I enjoyed this Baron Harkonnen arc.

they should really put the sulfur back in the marine fuel

I've been doing this. It's called working on cool stuff.

Only a tiny fraction of the world’s mosquito species prey on humans. All of these are invasive across essentially their entire range, having tagged along with humans as we moved around the world. Multiple careful studies say that eliminating these species would have little or no impact on the environment. However, it would save at least a million human lives a year, and get rid of a constant source of discomfort that prevents people from safely spending as much time outside as they would prefer. Malaria is only one of dozens of diseases, many potentially fatal, spread by mosquitoes. Gene drives can safely and relatively inexpensively eliminate these parasitic insects; we can create male mosquitoes that can only have male offspring and which then crash the population. It’s well past time that we did it.

Ah yes, the primary obstacle to the money-saving roll out of clean energy generation is ... Environmental protection laws. Ffs.

This makes total sense. Not everyone is on X listening to neck beards yell at them every day telling them they need a chief of staff bot. This needed to be baked into the product.

Casey Handmer on why Starlink and Starmind are so valuable: "If you run the math: What is the revenue per watt of transmitted microwave power for Starlink? It's a billion times higher than space-based solar power. SpaceX is making money hand over fist with Starlink. So you take that model and say, we make lots of money transmitting data from your content delivery service like Netflix, but instead let's transmit tokens of some hyper intelligent model. Once you've got the hardware flying, what is the comparative value between your average Starlink bit versus your average Starmind bit? It's probably at least 1,000 times more valuable. It's not even in the same category. It will be interesting to see if economic demand for intelligence in the form of AI tokens can saturate. I suspect not."

While we're doing rational things by executive order, can we spend more than 0.05% of the federal NIH budget on studying the mechanisms of aging? By all means let's spend a Manhattan project on treating degenerative disease but can we please spend a Manhattan project on preventing old age? Can't get Alzheimer's or Parkinson's if your body never ages past 25.

If you want to go 175 mph fly an old C-182.

Uhhh guys. That's not how wealth works.

Everybody "neurodivergent" until a real stone cold autist pulls up

It is actually possible to make planes functionally transparent to radar. Better hope the enemy doesn't have a webcam.

Manifesting...

Claude 5.5 Opus responding to “AI is a normal technology” is still the best AI-created video I have ever seen

Probably the last time I'll be able to physically pick up a production volume.

Have your fourth kid. Go into debt if you have to.
