Proof of stability!

The “Cocaine ____” franchise really dies after the fifteenth movie, Cocaine Shrew. They’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel for animals to drug up!

There’s a few things (I am an engineer, though not nuclear):

1. Efficiencies don’t necessarily stack like that. For boiling water you’re dependent on kinetic energy as heat. I’m not familiar with running plasma through magnetic fields for power generation, but if you lose thermal energy, your overall efficiency may be worse.
2. In power generation, reliability is obviously extremely important, and the nuclear industry is highly risk-averse. So doing something in a known, tested way is preferable. Any downtime is extremely expensive if things break, since it may be gigawatts of power you’re not selling.
3. Big magnets and handling highly energetic plasma are both really expensive. Steam turbines and generators have existing supply chains since we use them everywhere. I think cost is a big part, since the people building power plants want to make their money back sooner, so may not want to pay millions to billions more for a few percent efficiency gain.

If they don’t appreciate the 17-square waffle, they don’t deserve it.

I think it’s crossed over from the “attention grabbing” subtitles fashion prevalent in short form video… Subtitles are great as an accessibility feature, and I hope everything can have them, but forcing them on and making them flashy and obnoxious sucks.

“What are the Reynolds and Mach numbers for the airflow through the rubble?”

“OK, surely he’s got temperature and pressure measurements there?”

“He did provide a CAD model of the bunker, right?”

“Does anyone have a miniature Saddam Hussein for wind tunnel testing to validate our CFD model?”

Go PU!

A lot of sites just end up being SEO crap like “The Top 10 Smart Lampshades of 2026” and it’s just listing specs and giving an amazon affiliate link.

LinuxTwo 1.0 Should buy a few more decades before LinuxTwo gets to 19.19 and LinuxThree happens. Or perhaps we expand version numbers to use letters first, meaning you have 36*28 versions before 20?

It sounds like the “safety monitor” is a regulatory shortcut - trust me bro, there’s a safety monitor. then they pay someone to just ride around in it, trust the computer. Maybe also some liability thing for them; throw the safety monitor under the bus robotaxi in the event of a crash as the individual “responsible for” that vehicle.

oh boy. What a distinction, to have so many bad commits reverted that you derail a major project for months cleaning up after you.

Worse, RCS isn’t always E2EE. After Apple begrudgingly added it to iMessage, they’ve made sure that iPhones don’t support its encryption, and I don’t think they display reactions and such properly. Meaning a group chat with a single iPhone in it can’t be encrypted.

That and the annoying dependence on carrier and proprietary software support - even with google messenger I’ve had RCS just give up sometimes and go to SMS only.

At this point, using an actual E2EE messaging system like Signal makes a lot more sense.

They claimed some insane number at one point, like “we solve x% of crime in the US” but I forget how much they claimed. It was some insane value that seemed unrealistically high.

I mean, bendable glass is a thing, but that’s in optical fibers which are not suitable for a flexible phone display.

I could imagine some construction that uses a lot of small glass pieces that don’t flex, but move past each other, perhaps. But that would probably have optical challenges and be expensive to make.

My opinion is “Why would I want my phone to bend? Also wow that’s so expensive.”

A while back they made goofy claims about their display being “bendable glass” and how they’re “bending the laws of physics.” It was (at least on the surface, which matters to users) still soft plastic… I have little faith.

Thank you to coming to our annual shareholder meeting. We welcome all human and AI shareholders.

This year, we’ve seen unprecedented growth in the number of times we’ve said “AI” on stage, largely driven by our investments in AI and our desire to talk about AI.

In Q3 alone, our CEO said “AI” over 400 times, contributing to explosive stock value growth.

Our Q4 was looking to be slowed down after our CEO lost his voice, limiting his ability to say “AI” a lot, but thanks to our AI capabilities, we used AI to generate an AI voice and AI video of our CEO saying “AI.” Thanks to AI, we’ve finished the year with a valuation 300x the start, according to our AI analyst.

Obstacles to continued growth include all words in the English language other than “AI.” Also, after saying “AI” enough, “AI” stops sounding like a word anymore. AI. AI. AI. AI. AI. AAAAIIIIII. That’s really weird. You know, that’s another advantage of AI presenters. They can say “AI” so many times and just keep going. It doesn’t affect them.

In the next year, our AI R&D efforts are focused on seeing if more voices saying “AI” at once has a larger impact on stock price. We’ve created an AI chorus to chant “AI” at our next presentation and are very excited to see the results.
