I wonder if the way we have to look at the A.I. race is as a form of cold war. During the cold war, military expenses made no economic sense but we had to do it anyway to come on top. At this point, it's "who can borrow the most w

At some point, we will have to realize that military might is highly dependant of manufacturing capability. If a war was to happen, China could turn their dildo factories into drones factories overnight, like the U.S. turned their car facto

Last years SpaceX revenue was 15 Billions, of which 1.1 came from NASA. Their revenues is higher than entire NASA budget. https://deepnewz.com/company-earnings/spacex-2025-revenue-to...

I can imagine SpaceX choosing to self-finance a mission to the moon and beat NASA at it.

Is there any other player that will commit with fixed-cost contract? Cost-plus is a joke.

It was too perfect. To the point where the stand down order stories are believable.

Is IBM still a serious player? It seems to me they are living out of legacy software. Is there quantum computer stuff promising?

To add to this point, AI is lagging in the debugging chain. It's great at generating code but who is going to inherit the maintenance of all this code and show confidence in its maintenance? Most developers already works on the mainten

This might be the only way I could have any trust in Nuclear. I heard recently from a journalist that the Fukushima plant paid Yakuza owned newspapers to avoid negative press well before the incident. The technology is great, humans are not

We upgrated about 400 computers to 24H2 in the last two months and it wasn't too much of an issue. It's largely the same OS underneath. In term of UI, the only improvement is tabbed file explorer (but some might not like it). Othe

A few months ago, there was an op-ed in the NY Times that said RFK was wrong to say x% of people are diabetics. But RFK mentionned explicitly x% are "diabetics and pre-diabetics" people. While I can't verify if the number is

There is certainly a usefulness in separating government spending and private spending in our economic health measures. For one, measures like GDP are often used to evaluate the confidence and the general well-being of our economy. High Gov

No doubt Lutnick and Bessent are taking crazy risks with their strategy. If they are to be believed, their plan is to have a recession at the begining of the term to get long term bond price lower and refinance the debt. By their own accoun

I suspect one of the reason behind that is that the supplier is asked to provide a part that cost only a few thousands bucks, but could potentially blow a multi-million rocket. So, each part end up having a sort of implied insurance and ove

This is amplified by the fact that many of those SaaS are startup and privately financed. They are living on borrowed money, and if the money dry up, they will need to move to a viable business model, that is, charging the consumer the real
