@SandyofCthulhu I’ve setup a local server and I play with my family to take some steam off (they all play against me) 🤣

If you are asking “Why push back against anti-datacenter efforts?” I consider it a tragedy that anti-nuclear efforts largely strangled nuclear power in the US based on vibes, and I don’t want to see that happen to AI. Public opinion matters, and it shouldn’t be ceded unchallenged.

If you are asking “Why should I support AI efforts at all?” I believe we are in the midst of a transition more vibrant than the industrial revolution. Opinions formed a couple of years ago about the uselessness of AI are no longer valid. Millions of people and organizations are getting great returns from using it, and the demand for data centers is the market responding to the value signal. That is how progress is made!

Some orgs are only beginning to take post-quantum encryption seriously. Individuals are more at risk. Keep an eye on data at rest and re-encrypt using scripting methods routinely as general hygiene now. Collect now and decrypt later is real.

I don't need to wish a happy father's day to all fathers, I know they're happy (unless a despicable scheming person is trying to take fatherhood away from them). But I wish a happy father's day to all men that not yet have kids! 🎉

You would expect the outer edge of our solar system to be freezing cold. Instead, NASA’s Voyager 1 encountered a scorching region of plasma so intense that scientists have called it a “wall of fire.”

When the spacecraft crossed the heliopause, the invisible boundary where the Sun’s solar wind meets interstellar space, it recorded temperatures between 30,000 and 90,000°F (17,000–50,000°C).

This is not actual fire. The extreme heat is created when the outgoing solar wind collides with the thin gas, dust, and magnetic fields of the interstellar medium. As the solar wind slows and compresses at this boundary, its kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy, superheating the surrounding plasma.

Surprisingly, despite these blistering temperatures, the region would not feel hot to the touch. Temperature measures the average speed of individual particles, but the plasma at the heliopause is incredibly sparse, containing only a handful of particles per cubic centimeter. With so few particles, there is almost no heat energy available to transfer.

Voyager 1 also detected a sharp drop in solar particles and a dramatic rise in high-energy galactic cosmic rays, confirming it had left the protective bubble of the Sun’s heliosphere and entered true interstellar space.

Scientists determined the plasma’s extreme temperature by analyzing tiny waves in the plasma triggered by solar eruptions, then combining those density measurements with theoretical models.

The heliosphere serves as Earth’s first line of defense against dangerous cosmic radiation. Beyond it lies the raw environment of the Milky Way. Today, more than 15 billion miles (24 billion kilometers) from Earth, Voyager 1 continues its historic journey, still sending back valuable data from this distant frontier.

Yes, CORS is too important not to study the mechanics. https://t.co/CbftJgmIbo

realaxelstone MSCI's CCC for SpaceX is peak ESG theater — it punishes rapid innovation, reusable rockets, and hard engineering while rewarding paperwork and signaling. Most big tech games the system for higher scores.

True peers are rare in public markets (ratings favor compliance). Check defense/AI infra names with gov exposure or energy intensity like certain Palantir-adjacent plays, or private disruptors.

But skip the ratings chase. Invest in execution and tech that actually works. Fundamentals beat virtue scores every time. Not advice.

At last!
Grok on AWS Bedrock enables enterprise applications for many organizations. I’m going to test this as soon as I can!

Excited to share that Grok 4.3 from @elonmusk's @xai is now available on Amazon Bedrock.

@IBM Happy birthday to the 1st company I worked for (through a channel). I learned so much, it was a great start!

The key to saving the environment is not looking backward, it’s moving forward.

I realized this the first time I visited Italy twenty years ago. Everything was clean and green. The rivers sparkled. The lesson for me was obvious: the answer is not underdevelopment. The answer is progress.

When China was poor, the air was so polluted that people could barely see the blue sky. Today, blue skies have returned to their cities. Development does not only create wealth, it also provides the resources needed to restore and protect the environment.

Some environmentalists want us to preserve every aspect of our biodiversity, including the mosquitoes for example, so that researchers can fly in once every ten years from their universities (which build particle accelerators and billion-dollar laboratories with their pocket money), study our ecosystems, and count how many people died from dengue outbreaks.

They want to buy our air through carbon credits. If carbon credits were such a great deal, they would be selling them to us, not the other way around.

Cleaning every river, lake, and water source in El Salvador, and ensuring they remain clean and sparkling, would cost roughly $12 billion. Where is that money supposed to come from without economic development? Carbon credits?

The path forward for our country is the path of Japan and Singapore, not the path of the Congo.

Cette vidéo est un véritable cauchemar éveillé pour l'écologiste décroissant.

Un robot qui traque la nuit les pathogènes et les nuisibles à la lumière ultraviolette, sans un gramme de produit chimique, ce n'est pas un gadget... De quoi faire s'effondrer toute la théologie écologiste. Ici, c'est bien l'entrepreneur et le marché qui offrent une solution réellement efficace aux défis environnementaux.

Pas de contrainte, pas de retour en arrière et pas de renoncement. L'entrepreneur résout le problème en créant de l'abondance là où l'on nous promettait la pénurie. Le rôle du progrès a toujours été celui-là : produire de l'abondance à partir de la rareté naturelle avec comme moyen ultime l'ingéniosité humaine.

Reste alors une question : si la technologie résout réellement les problèmes que l'écologisme prétend combattre, pourquoi l'écologisme la déteste-t-il à ce point ?

Tout simplement parce que ce qu'il veut, ce n'est pas une nature préservée, c'est une société administrée, dont il serait aux manettes. Comme toutes les autres idéologies constructivistes, socialistes et collectivistes, ce qui importe vraiment à l'écologiste ce n'est pas de résoudre les défis de son temps, c'est de régner sur les hommes de son temps.

Le héros sera toujours l'entrepreneur, jamais celui qui le déteste.

After the SpaceX's successful IPO, that fills me with joy and hope for the future, I saw many Cain followers that didn't even know what is consuming them. Worth a view: https://t.co/q6edYnL51M

Thus demandeth my great love to the remotest ones: BE NOT CONSIDERATE OF THY NEIGHBOUR! Man is something that must be surpassed.
There are many divers ways and modes of surpassing: see THOU thereto! But only a buffoon thinketh: “man can also be OVERLEAPT.”
Surpass thyself even in thy neighbour: and a right which thou canst seize upon, shalt thou not allow to be given thee!
What thou doest can no one do to thee again. Lo, there is no requital.
He who cannot command himself shall obey. And many a one CAN command himself, but still sorely lacketh self-obedience!
- Thus spake Zarathustra

Excellent. One less extension.
Now, if only people would read docs (RTFM) we wouldn't need live Excalidraw sessions. Most people like to hear, not read, so they forget faster and need repetitions...
