Data centers are paying Texas electricians 75% more than homebuilders. $35/hour plus overtime plus per diem versus $20-25/hour.

Texas has 142 data centers under construction - more than any state in the country. The state has roughly 71,000 electricians total.

The data center industry is pulling the most experienced electrical workers out of residential and commercial construction. The workers left behind are younger, less experienced, and working longer hours to compensate for smaller crews.

Electrical work in institutional buildings is life safety work - fire alarm systems, emergency lighting, HVAC controls. When the best electricians leave for data center pay, institutional owners building hospitals and schools get whoever is available.

The quality decline won't show up for another 3-5 years. But it's being built into every project going up during this shortage right now.

For institutional property owners, the quality audit matters more now than at any point in the last 20 years. The owners who verify workmanship during construction will avoid the claims that follow.

It's becoming increasingly evident that proprietary real-world data will be the main input to drive frontier model progress.

Lewis Hamilton is 41 years old.

In June he won in Barcelona, his first victory for Ferrari. No one older has won a Formula 1 race in 56 years.

A year earlier he finished a whole season without a single podium.

Here's the routine he rebuilt in between:

Cicely Saunders changed how the world cares for dying people.

The change was not a new drug. It was a decision about when to give the one they already had.

Here's how that became modern palliative care:

In 2002, Ben Horowitz's stock was worth 35 cents and the exchange was about to throw his company off.

His answer was to sell the only part of the business making money and keep the part making none.

Here's how selling it for 63 million built a 1.6 billion dollar company:

Texas just set another jobs record.

14,469,600 nonfarm jobs in June. The highest total in state history.

More than 2.6 million new jobs added under Governor Abbott's leadership.

The number one jobs creator in America. Full stop.

For most of my life, robots were toys for geeks.

They needed soldering and an understanding of electronics. Not for 99% of people.

Then the iPhone shipped, and what changed wasn't the robots.

Here's what actually made a robotics company possible:

In June 2024, ransomware hit a software company called CDK Global, and 15,000 car dealerships went back to pen and paper.

Deals written by hand. Repair orders on paper. Some stores sent staff home.

Here's how 15,000 businesses lost two weeks without one being breached:

Three concerns I keep hearing from investors. Let me walk through each one.

First: 'Polymetallic means bad metallurgy.' We tested it. Our recoveries are outstanding. High-grade polymetallic ore processes exceptionally well. The metals practically fall out of it.

Second: 'The tonnage is too small to be a mine.' You have to multiply tonnage by grade. Foran had about 800,000 metal contained tons and sold for $3.8 billion. Analyst estimates put us between 400,000 and 800,000. The MRE on August 31 will put an exact number on it.

Third: 'Copper mines cost a billion to build.' That depends on how much rock you move. High grade means less rock and lower capex dramatically. Plus, Quebec covers almost half your development costs through tax credits and abatements. We would expect our capex to be less than half that amount.

Analysts already see it. The independent 43-101 MRE will make it visible to everyone else.

Kate Hudson is 47 years old.

She's been in the spotlight for over 25 years, and she is stronger now than she has ever been.

No extreme training. No cutting out the foods she loves.

Just a routine she has rebuilt as she's aged:

On October 4, 2021, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp went dark for six hours.

Engineers had to drive to the data centers, because every tool they would normally use had gone too.

Here's how one command erased a company from the internet and locked its own people out:

Hal Rosenbluth ran his company on a rule that should have destroyed it.

The customer comes second.

He said it in public, then printed it on the cover of a book, and his clients stayed anyway.

Here's why putting his own staff first is what made the service great:

State Farm created a damage standard that doesn't exist in your policy.

In 2020, the company launched what internal documents call the "Hail Focus Initiative." The goal: redefine what counts as hail damage to avoid paying for full roof replacements.

Their new standard requires "functional damage" - meaning hail has to puncture completely through the shingle to the mat beneath. If it doesn't fracture or puncture, State Farm's hired engineers call it cosmetic. Claim denied.

The problem? That definition appears nowhere in policyholder contracts.

More than 600 lawsuits are now pending in Oklahoma alone. The lead case, Hursh v. State Farm, alleges a systematic scheme to narrow coverage definitions after the fact.

State Farm paid $1.4 billion in Texas hail claims last year — up 27% year over year. The money is real. So is the incentive to reduce it.

When your insurer invents terminology your policy never contemplated, they're rewriting the contract after the loss.

If you've had a hail claim denied or reduced by State Farm in the last three years, pull your policy. Search for the phrase "functional damage."

You won't find it.

The villain in TINY doesn’t conquer anyone. He rewrites them.

One approved version of every story, played on a loop until you smile and agree.

The slogan is simple: “StoryBro always makes you smile.”
Tiny is a one-foot beach toy alone on Earth.
He refuses to be rewritten.
He says goodbye to the only family he’s ever known, and says hello to a new family and a new home.

Courage isn’t about size.

It’s about refusing to let the universe turn you into something you’re not.

GoogleDeepMind @GoogleDeepMind just launched Gemini Robotics 2.

One brain. Any robot body. Feet to fingertips.

Robotics has tried to build that 3 times before and it never took.

Here's why this attempt is different, and where it still falls short:

[Terry Lynch @terrybali]

We control roughly 330 square kilometers at Nisk with about 50 km of prospective basin margins. Most of it has never been drill tested.

The latest target getting attention is Nisk Far West. We identified a copper soil anomaly sitting right next to interpreted ultramafic rocks, the same rock types that host both the Nisk and Lion deposits. A single diamond hole confirmed the ultramafics are there.

Now we've got 200 sensors deployed across a 14km by 3km grid running Ambient Noise Tomography to map the subsurface in 3D before we commit drill rigs. That's on top of SQUIDs and gravity surveys running across the rest of the property.

30,000+ meters of drilling mobilizing now for the next two quarters. Field mapping starts as soon as the snow clears.

This is what building a district looks like in real time.

In 2015, a developer sold his side project for 575 million dollars in cash.

He owned every share of it.

No investors, no co-founder, and for the first four years, not one employee.

Zoe Cluff was invited to speak at a national conference in Malaysia, offered a place in an honorary doctorate program, and asked onto innovation panels in the United States.

She said no to all 3.

Her reason, in her own words. I was not enough yet.

I score every new humanoid against the same 5 criteria.

A home robot demo went around this month and it broke the list.

The robot looked like it did the job. I still would not put it in a house.

Here's the 6th criterion I'm adding:
