Every financial crisis is always predicated on a liquidity mismatch.
And good job by Italy pulling together the maddest closing ceremony entertainment.
Good job by Norway in that there Olympics.
Very good!
A fully constructed Lego™ Titanic set
Well, that was a very enjoyable 30 hours of Lego construction. Highly recommended.
On a cost per hour of entertainment basis…not bad.
Some languages have the concept of the inclusive vs exclusive first person plural.
This is an uncharacteristically poor article from the @financialtimes.com
PR repeated without any digging into the reality. Physics is physics. Space isn’t cold, vacuums are almost perfect insulators, getting mass into orbit is expensive.

XhatGPT idiotic layout of 13amp plug wiring. Just random wires really.
CoPilot AI diagram of plug wiring. Two live wires, one forked off the earthm and a screw head is also labelled Live.
And finally, Gemini AI diagram of 13 amp plug wiring. Hard to know where to even begin with this. Just a mess really.
One of the easiest ways to shoot down the idea that "AI" is an expert is to show how it deals with something people know about.
Younger readers may not get this as most appliances come pre-wired, but anyone 35+ can see these are chaotic fire hazards.
From Mastodon, AI asked how to wire a plug:
True.
Only if you think it’s going to be maintained for 15 years. Which I don’t.
Agree it’s nuts but if I’m reading this correctly then they’re spending 2.1% of GDP this year and comparing it to 15 years of spending 0.4% of GDP on the Interstate system (i.e 6% of GDP)
Yes, I use double emdashes — mostly in formal writing — due to their utility.
Note the American emdash—done like this without a space—is an abomination.
I have a personal rule to be suspicious of people who can’t be bothered to spell correctly, who use abbreviations like CU, cuz etc and who don’t punctuate or format properly in emails.
Over the past few days my rule has been elevated to an eternal verity.
If it quacks like bollocks….
(Not entirely sure I’ve got the right simile here)
In is equivalent to a CEO getting on an earnings call and saying “we’ve invented a perpetual motion machine” and the analysts (and sadly journalists) saying “woo hoo, the stock is going to the moon”.
No conductive heat transfer in space makes thermal management exceptionally difficult.
It really is defined as kinetic energy of the particles but that doesn’t square with our intuitive feelings about what is “hot” and “cold”. Space is has a few very fast particles moving around so its temperature is high.
Hard to imagine something more stupid than that but…here we are.
No, it’s meaningful, just not intuitive. It’s about the difference between temperature (RMS velocity of particles) and heat energy. Space is hot in temperature
I see some people (<side eyes>) are talking about space based AI server farms. Please stop this. The entire ISS solar array provides enough power to fire up less than two H200 equipped racks.
And don't get me started on getting rid of the heat and how hard it is to rad-harden chips in space.
You won’t regret it.
