Optimal's AI-powered greenhouse in the Netherlands has achieved breakthrough results!

This brings us closer to a food secure future in the face of climate change and global insecurity.

+13% yield 🍅 🥒
+14% brix (taste) 😋

Rest In Peace @ScottAdamsSays

Thank you for your generosity and your thoughtful words of truth.

You were an excellent human being.

@balajis Why in (4) "the West's living standards", and not "America's living standards"? US subsidising Western defence through NATO?

Son, I’ve just been handed this rainbow-colored icebox you’re calling a “holistic operational environment,” and I’m here to tell you — before the coffee in my cup gets cold — exactly what I think of it.

We do not fight wars by arranging pastel building blocks in a conference room. We fight wars by standing on a wall at two-thirty in the morning, soaked in sweat and grit, praying the radio stays quiet and the mortar tubes stay silent. While you’re shading in “cognitive dimensions,” there’s a nineteen-year-old corporal out there wondering if tonight is the night his luck runs out. His life does not fit inside your color-coded cube.

And don’t wave “systems thinking” at me like it’s a revelation. I lead a system every day: Marines with rifles, pilots with ordnance, sailors with steel decks under their boots. That system runs because men accept risk, bleed for each other, and obey orders no matter how dark the night gets. You want to honor them? Hand them ammunition and a plan— not a kindergarten art project.

Alternatively assuming that your code will get stolen despite contracts and execute accordingly

[Dave Hunter @_davehunter]

Analysed Github Copilot ToS and Cursor ToS via GPT. If they use your code to train their models despite you opting out then there is a small chance you can successfully sue.

How do devs handle this?

[Dave Hunter @_davehunter]

My view is to go with the provider that would suffer the greatest risk adjusted loss by stealing your code.

Clear winner here is Copilot

@Keir_Starmer Strong decision-making

Designing an org chart today means starting with AI and then figuring out where the humans fit in

Our open roles in engineering are changing by the week as new AI models are released

Tariffs might be the thing that finally makes high tech greenhouses work in America.

(Dave’s been working on how to run them with AI as good Holland’s best)

@jasmygeo Don't forget Canada!

The US imports a staggering 88% of greenhouse tomatoes from Canada and Mexico.

Canada and Mexico have built 5x more high-tech glass greenhouses and 40x more low-tech plastic greenhouses than the US.

Most people don’t understand how devastating tariffs will be on the availability of fresh produce in America: 🧵

@iAnonPatriot Huge opportunity to build American greenhouses. But it will take time.

The US imports a staggering 88% of greenhouse tomatoes from Canada and Mexico.

Only 12% is grown in American greenhouses!

@RandPaul This is especially true for fresh produce imports. The US imports a staggering 88% of greenhouse tomatoes from Canada and Mexico.

@unusual_whales Short-term devastating for availability of fresh produce. The US imports a staggering 88% of greenhouse tomatoes from Canada and Mexico.
