New alpha-voltaic cell hits 4.5% conversion efficiency. It's time for deep tech startups to look into this space nature.com/articles/s4324…

Stick frames are too fragile for many locations. The insurance situation is getting out of control, especially in California. 12K a year for fire insurance In some parts of socal.

Power satellites is the real technology here.

Seems the elites have raised their successors well.

wow

Can't believe the "secret" to Roman cement was basically seawater.

Someone needs to develop a ubiquitous os-level constant brightness mode. Of of the few things switch operating systems for.

From a practical standpoint this may be true, but there is always tremendous latent potential. Events like WW2 make this clear. The world generally runs at ~20% capacity.

Being agnostic about tariffs really is like being agnostic about blackouts. Doing without trade really is like doing without electricity.

Sorry guys but twitter has sucked from day 1 it still sucks and it will always suck.

My main reflection is not that Design Patterns is bad or whatever but rather acting as if there's all the time in the world to worry about this stuff. If I had better appreciated the scarcity of time and been more skeptical of the power of ideas I would have been less tripped up

The reaction to obviously true statements like from tpot is kinda shocking.

I think a lot of people underestimate the potential and feasibility of the teleoperated factory. It's a gruelling path but algorithmically might be mostly solved, next-human-action prediction and all that, build a deep model of action in a sensory context. Humanoid is the key

Someone should make a TBM that works like this, grows by eversion with a sock on the end that is the drill bit, add a chute through the middle to suck material out. Hybrid wet/dry operation that primarily disaggregates using electrohydrolic fracturing.

Altman wise to go all-in on memory. This is the new moat.

The first true AI Art will be wholly conceived by AI.

It's striking that no one has copied Tesla and developed/scaled pretty solar panels. The glass laminates PVs use is phenomenally good now in structural performance and longevity per dollar, yet we continue to cover our houses with a ugly hodgepodge of panels. Forget fiber cement,

Positive marginal token might be a tougher bar to reach than we think.
