There are thousands of strikes per day today. The chips needed to control a drone are not the same high cost ones needed for data centers or otherwise. Older fabs work just fine and countries can just eat into their other industries. Beyo

Multiple active wars on the global stage, huge changes in tariff and job impacts, large scale shipping and oil impacts. I’m not saying this legislation impacts any of this positively or negatively, but we can’t pretend the prior world order

If I were a manager I would be excited as well. Product quality doesn’t seem to be a metric that is actually correlated with executive bonuses, reducing cost is. It’s why enshitification is so common. Create a tool that quantifies quality

Demographic information is useful for medical, financial, educational, and so many other items. The current admin doesn’t need it to discriminate, you can just access cameras and license plate readers and target easily that way. The purpose

Expecting libraries to maintain digital scans of every book they have had or anything to that effect is a little laughable. These organizations do more for communities with less money and you expect them do now navigate the legal and ethic

Hundreds of examples of axial flux motors exist online. If you look at the visualization it shows the iron cores in a perpendicular orientation with the hub. This is correct, but loses so much of what makes these specific motors interesti

Supply will catch up, it will just take 3-5 years, with the price rising the whole time. Basically a worse version of the Covid supply disruption where I sold my car for more than I bought it for years later. The physical world can’t be pa

Closer to 1.7 trillion for space. You’re quoting launch but discounting satellites and broadband. The AI stuff is dumb and just subsidize Elons prior dumber investments.

That’s total addressable market. It’s claiming that AI products they could build could be that amount. It assumes they gain 100% of the market which techbros are basically claiming is most current human effort. It’s stupid, but not what’
