En Arabia Saudita las autopistas tienen un cartel en rojo indicando el camino para los NO MUSULMANES. En Arabia Saudita hay ciudades donde no podés entrar si no sos musulman (La Meca y Medina)

Pero ellos pueden invadir Europa y los reciben felices.

@luislozanog86 @felixrieseberg So what's best for computer use today?

[Davy @demeyr]

@beffjezos USA has plenty of those already. The problem is that almost every system they deploy (even today) is 'legacy': not git, no devops, no API's or code files for AI agents to get a grip, ... . Even at companies like Tesla.

@dwarkesh_sp @EgeErdil2 @tamaybes @gleech Did you read @robinhanson 's 'The age of EM'? It explores a future of digital brains that feels a bit similar as your description, with a deep dive into the implications.

@pmarca The original slide is rumoured to only have 'Simplify and Accelerate' on it ...

@BrianRoemmele Could it be 'proprietary' data that normally is hidden behind paywalls? In China they often make local duplicates, making it relatively easy to access. But normal crawlers might not reach it because you need to log in with a Chinese ID or WeChat account...

New proposal added to the https://t.co/aVtiSJjavd manifesto:

🇬🇧 Make English the primary language of the European Union

English should become the primary language of the European Union because it is the only language that the majority of Europeans can understand or speak at least at a basic level. Unlike German or French, which are limited to specific regions and are not widely spoken outside their native countries, English has become the de facto lingua franca of Europe due to its use in education, business, and international communication.

Clinging to languages like German or French for administrative purposes excludes a significant portion of the population and creates unnecessary barriers. Adopting English as the primary administrative language would promote efficiency, unity, and inclusivity across the European Union, reflecting the reality of how Europeans already communicate with one another.

English should also become the official second language in every EU member state, making it mandatory to write and speak well in all schools from a young age.

@NXT4EU @stefan_a To have the cyberpunk feeling you need to have the streetlife when you step out of the skyscrapers. China has this because they often had almost no historical buildings in the current city centers. Very difficult to do in Europe if you want to stay close to the centers.

I just can't quit on Germany. Now @jposhaughnessy is backing me with $100k to work with Germans to try to restart their nuclear program.

Here's the situation:

Weak German leaders decided to depend on Russian gas instead of German nuclear, and failed to reverse the mistake when Russian gas stopped being an option.

Despite a majority of Germans wanting to keep using nuclear, German reactors are being torn apart right now.

Germany is still planning to build a bunch of natural gas plants to replace coal and nuclear, but is now buying most of its natural gas from America. My family produces natural gas. It would be easy to give up, sit back, and make money off of Germany as their industries fail.

But I won't. A strong, energy-independent Germany is good for Europe and good for the world. And while Germany remains anti-nuclear, Berlin spends German taxpayer money trying to hurt other countries' nuclear energy ambitions around the EU and the world.

So I'm going to put together a conference about nuclear power plant restarts in Berlin in the first half of this year.

We'll explain how America is restarting nuclear plants, how Germany's neighbors are turning back towards nuclear, and what it would take to turn on the German plants again.

One German nuclear plant could return to service by the end of next year, and two more by 2028.

German nuclear power, even after spending millions to low billions to restart plants, would remain the cheapest reliable electricity option for German industry and homes.

Restarted German nuclear plants could operate for another 40 years or more.

I couldn't do any of this work without incredible help from Germans who can't stand to see their country crippled and dependent. If you're German and reading this, please get in touch so we can bring you onboard.

And thanks to Jim and his team for the fellowship and believing in a better future for Germany and for Europe.

@NXT4EU @kcinroj2030 Why do the other parties allow them to run away with the nuclear agenda? It was one of the main topics they discussed.

Manufacturing is definitely cool again

[Randall Briggs @randallmbriggs]

Here is Lecture 2 of the class Advanced Machining that I am teaching at MIT during the month of January.

This lecture covers the various types of CNC machines used in production and also includes a shop tour of Allied CNC in CT with @APC_CNC

@BrianRoemmele Combine them with robot cars to solve the last mile delivery problem. Visit China to see what the impact will be 👀

[Davy @demeyr]

@energybants Why do they produce them like this? It's still the same site.

[Davy @demeyr]

@astraiaintel Or coming back, just in a different form?
