I really hope Extropic works out, but I fear they're just a superconducting quantum computing startup that has spun their work to align with the AI boom. I don't really buy that SQ computing will be particularly synergistic with machine learning? But I hope they prove me wrong.

Fortunately, the US birth rate in mice has risen to its highest level ever, at 38.1 births per breeding mouse. If you assume the avg human weighs ~2k mice, then it could only take 15 years until the US population is demographically replaced by mice on a per mass basis. Shocking!

Good news on permitting reform! The Department of Energy is giving a categorical exclusion from NEPA environmental review to: - transmission projects that use existing rights of way - solar projects on disturbed lands - energy storage projects on disturbed lands
Could you imagine if Clavell and Michener were one person? I can, as I was under this misconception for many years.

We need a debt model in mice. 🐭 Perhaps we can start charging mice maze entrance fees and see how accumulated debt burden affects their solve ability.

Hey @Google, really low-hanging fruit here: The google maps app should always have an offline map of the world available at very low resolution (like… 5MB). If I’m on a flight and want to remember, say, the capital of Mozambique, I should be able to do so. I see no downside!
A lady couldn’t find room for her bag in the overhead so she TOOK MY BAG OUT and put hers in its place. The flight attendant promptly asked her to undo that, meanwhile I was cracking up at the sheer chutzpah of the idea. Lady was like, “Do you think this is funny?” “Extremely.”
TikTok is starting to catch up to this app with regard to niche insanity Just saw an hour-long series of videos endorsing the theory that Edgar Degas was Jack the Ripper.
I think this is basically false. Any manufacturing process post-28 nm can still pattern any device that a 28 nm process can, and it can definitionally do it more cheaply as it will use space on the wafer more efficiently. It’s not that military apps need 28 nm, they’re just old!

Imagine getting out of jail, only to find out you have a six-figure bill. That’s exactly what happens to inmates in FL, who are billed $50 a day for the duration of their prison sentence. If they’re released early, they still get charged for time they weren't even behind bars
