About Siri AI and EU:
1. Your data (gallery, messages, email, call logs, notes, files, and much more) is indexed for personal context, and that info is stored on your iPhone.
2. When you use Siri AI, the request is either handled on-device or in cloud using PCC. It’s never stored or logged on Apple’s servers. Apple does not have access to it.
Now, according to Apple, here’s what EU wants:
“According to EU regulators, the DMA requires Apple to give any AI system nearly unlimited access to a user’s device, as well as the ability to act on that access autonomously without a user’s ongoing visibility and control. That includes the ability to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and execute actions across any app.”
What EU is asking is scary dangerous. And apparently they have rejected all the solutions proposed by Apple.
And, as hinted by Joz, “We will NOT compromise on privacy and security”, Apple is likely not going to give up, so EU users are likely not going to get Siri AI anytime soon.
Charlie Munger on the WWII mental model that shaped his entire investing career:
"When I was a meteorologist in World War Two, I just reversed the problem.
I said suppose I wanted to kill a lot of pilots, what would be the easy way to do it?"
"I soon concluded the only easy way would be to get the planes into icing the planes couldn't handle or to get the pilot into a place where he'd run out of fuel before he could safely land."
"It works better frequently to invert the problem."
"Every great algebraist inverts all the time because the problems are solved easier. Human beings should do the same thing in the ordinary walks of life."
Wir haben in Deutschland verlernt systemisch zu denken!
Die Aussage von #LarsThomsen beim VDI in Karlsruhe trifft einen wunden Punkt der aktuellen Debatte. Er argumentiert sehr prägnant, dass wir in Deutschland oft in isolierten Problemen denken, anstatt die 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗩𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗹𝗲 der Energiewende zu begreifen.
Seine Kernpunkte aus dem Clip lassen sich gut zusammenfassen:
1. Das Trauma der Abhängigkeit
Thomsen erinnert an den Ölpreis-Schock von 1973. Damals wurde Deutschland schmerzhaft bewusst, wie abhängig es von externen Akteuren ist. Er kritisiert, dass wir über 50 Jahre später (im Jahr 2026) immer noch so agieren, als wäre diese Abhängigkeit von fossilen Brennstoffen alternativlos.
2. Die unterschätzte Dynamik der #Erneuerbaren #Energien!
Er nennt beeindruckende Zahlen, um die Dimensionen zu verdeutlichen:
- 𝗔𝘂𝘀𝗯𝗮𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲: Deutschland baut derzeit alle 30 Tage etwa 1 𝗚𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘁𝘁 (GW) neue Photovoltaik-Leistung zu.
- 𝗞𝗮𝗽𝗮𝘇𝗶𝘁ä𝘁: Mit über 100 𝗚𝗪 Solarleistung haben wir an sonnigen Tagen bereits einen massiven Energieüberschuss, der die Strompreise mittags ins Negative treibt.
3. Das Effizienz-Argument (Systemisches Denken)
Sein Vergleich zwischen Photovoltaik (PV) und fossilen Brennstoffen ist das Herzstück seiner Kritik am "fehlenden systemischen Denken":
- 𝗘𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗳𝗳 𝘃𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗲 aus China liefert über deren Lebensdauer 85-𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗲𝗵𝗿 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗲 nach Deutschland als ein Tanker mit Öl oder Gas.
- 𝗗𝗲𝗿 𝗨𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗱: Fossile Brennstoffe werden einmal verbrannt und sind weg. Solarpaneele sind eine Investition in die Infrastruktur, die über Jahrzehnte hinweg "erntet".
4. Die psychologische Hürde
Thomsen beobachtet eine Art kollektives "Nicht-wahrhaben-Wollen". Trotz der technologischen Überlegenheit und der sinkenden Kosten klammern sich viele Menschen an alte Denkmuster ("Habt ihr noch was? Bitte... Öl!"). Er plädiert dafür, Energie nicht mehr als Verbrauchsgut zu sehen, das man ständig nachkaufen muss, sondern als 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗸𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘂𝗳𝗴𝗮𝗯𝗲, die uns langfristig günstiger und unabhängig macht.
Es ist ein starkes Plädoyer für einen Perspektivwechsel: Weg vom kleinteiligen Verwalten von Krisen, hin zum Verstehen der neuen, exponentiellen Energiewelt.
#Energiewende
Ich war heute wieder in einem gepflegten Mehrfamilienhaus aus den 1960ern zur Energieberatung.
Immer mal wieder was gemacht worden:
Dach gedämmt, Fenster 1999 und 2008 erneuert.
Im Keller: Gas-Brennwerttherme, die den Brennwerteffekt NICHT nutzt.

I'm going to make some obvious points.
(1) Blowing up all the oil infrastructure in the Middle East is an insane idea, and may well result in a global economic crash and humanitarian crisis unrivaled in the lives of those now living. We're talking about the price of everything everywhere rising, from food to gas, at a moment when inflation was already high. All of that will be laid at the feet of the authors of this war.
(2) The antebellum status quo of Feb 27, 2026 was just not that bad, but we're unlikely to return to it. Expect indefinite, long-term, ongoing disruptions to everything out of the Middle East.
(3) Also assume tech financing crashes for the indefinite future. The genius plan to get the Gulf states caught in the crossfire has incinerated much of the funding for LPs, for datacenters, and for IPOs. Anyone in tech who supported this war may soon learn the meaning of "force majeure" as funding gets yanked.
(4) Many capital allocators will instead be allocating much further down Maslow's hierarchy of needs, towards useful basic things like food and energy.
(5) It's fortunate that all those progressives yelled about the "climate crisis." Yes, their reasoning about timelines was wrong, and much of the money was wasted in graft, but the result was right: we all need energy independence from the Middle East, pronto. It's also fortunate that Elon and China autistically took climate seriously. Now they're going to need to ship a billion solar panels, electric vehicles, batteries, nuclear power plants, and the like to get everyone off oil, immediately.
(6) It's not just an oil and gas problem, of course. It's also a fertilizer problem, and a chemical precursor problem. Maybe some new sources will come online at the new prices, but it takes time to dial stuff up, particularly at this scale, so shortages are almost a certainty.
That said, China has actually scaled up coal-to-chemicals[a,c] (C2C), and there's also something more sci-fi called Power-to-X[b] which turns arbitrary power + water + air into hydrocarbons. But all of that will need to get accelerated. I have a background in chemical engineering so may start funding things in this area.
(7) Ultimately, this war is going to result in tremendous blame for anyone associated with it. It's a no-win scenario to blow up this much infrastructure for so many people. Simply not worth it for whatever objective they thought they were going to attain. But unless you're actually in a position to stop the madness, the pragmatic thing to do is: scramble to mitigate the fallout to yourself, your business, and your people.

This seems to be the prevailing sentiment amongst non-climbers...
But it's simply wrong.
Honnold's climb of Freerider on ElCap (which was captured on film by the legendary Jimmy Chin) is EASILY 10x more impressive than what Alex did on the skyscraper.
I don't think it's possible to fully appreciate the absurdity of Honnold's free solo of ElCap unless you yourself have been on that climb.
I have...
I've been up there...
I've done all the moves...
(and this was during a period of my life wher I was in the top 0.00001% of strongest climbers in the world)
And I got my ass handed to me.
The 13a crux 23 pitches off the ground is unbelievably technical and requires a level of precision that, to execute without a rope, is nearly unbelievable.
This is a hill I will gladly die on:
Honnold's free solo of ElCap is THE single most impressive athletic achievement in human history.
Nothing else comes even remotely close.
(and certainly not this skyscraper).
If you want to have your paradigm for what humans are capable of turned upside down...
Go watch Free Solo.
