First principles building design is absolutely critical for scaling human civilization. Bad design isn't just killing us on energy costs - it's literally killing us. The risks increase non-linearly as population grows. Airborne illness is transmitted through air as waterborne

Encrypted messaging, like Signal, is critical for preserving our digital privacy. Two important next steps for the space are (i) permissionless account creation and (ii) metadata privacy. Session and SimpleX Chat are two messaging apps pushing these directions forward.

BREAKING: Sugars essential for life have been found in pristine asteroid Bennu samples collected by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft. Combined with previous detections of amino acids and nucleobases, we see that life’s ingredients were widespread throughout the solar system:

Cathie Wood A major additional factor should be considered. Satellites with localized AI compute, where just the results are beamed back from low-latency, sun-synchronous orbit, will be the lowest cost way to generate AI bitstreams in <3 years. And by far the fastest way to scale within 4

My most important analysis for 2025 is out: „A Grand Strategy for Europe in the New Cold War“. The coming decade will test whether Europe can reinvent itself as a conscious actor in global affairs or become a geographic backyard between two geopolitical blocs. (link in reply)

Probíhající rage USA/Musk vs EU je velice zajímavá podívaná. Když si promítnete, co z USA vlastně zní směrem k Evropě - aby se postavila na vlastní nohy, byla silná, svobodná a vyhnula se civilizačnímu úpadku - těžko říct, co na tom vlastně má být k nesouhlasu. Jsou to dobré

Systems of control rarely announce when they cross a line. You realize it too late. “The more power a state is granted, the more ruthless become those who wield such power. We have to condemn publicly the very idea that some people have the right to repress others.” Solzhenitsyn

the long-awaited paper showing structural preservation of a human cryopreservation patient’s brain from greg fahy et al is out we can see clearly identifiable synapses, intact membranes, and no evidence of ice damage, even after years in liquid nitrogen storage 🧊🧠

By studying samples analyzed by the Curiosity rover, scientists have taken another step toward understanding whether life could have ever existed on Mars. A new study suggests that non-biological sources cannot fully account for the abundance of organic compounds found in a
