My brother is an orthopedic surgeon in LA. He had a bunch of patients with strange and exotic bone infections from drinking raw milk. You really, really don’t want to have an infection that he finds “interesting”

“Musk describes, opens new tab the deal’s rationale as “scaling to make a sentient sun to understand the Universe.” This, and talk of launching data centers into space, sounds somewhere between optimistic to delusional.”

Lololol thank you @robcyran.bsky.social

Good read on the numbers 👇🏽

Dogs must know - with Parkinson's a lot of misfolded proteins cause nerves to malfunction, causing sebum to be produced, which fungus and bacteria eat to produce a gross smell. Old doc's use of smell is fascinating - diabetes, cancer, etc. My brother says you never forget the smell of C Difficile.

OPENAI CEO SAM ALTMAN SAYS DIFFUSION OF AI IN SOME WAYS IS SLOWER THAN HE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE - Reuters News

When the main pitchman starts expressing doubts....

Definitely the sort of business you want to merge into your soon to go public company.

i have been made aware that an Olympic figure skater for Kazakhstan does a Dune themed routine in a full stillsuit and he is now my personal hero

16.4k QP? Was doing my own back of envelope math simply comparing launch costs to earth electricity costs and radiation shielding was my big question because uhhh, seems heavy.

This is the most absurd press release I’ve read in over a decade. Now THIS is the stuff of market tops: www.spacex.com/updates#xai-...

I’m just going to file this away for later

Just going to put this mini-thread here, four months later: bsky.app/profile/robc...

Oh boy

I think it's also a U-shaped curve for appearance The ideal point is a person that eats vegetables and exercises, but worries they need to do more. The people who only eat fast food and play video games and the people using 30 supplements a day both usually look pretty bad

Don’t know Le Labo, but used to love going to the CB store when it was open and smell scents from Gasoline to In the Library

CB I hate perfume?

‘Spy Sheikh’ Bought Secret Stake in Trump Company $500 million investment for 49% of World Liberty came months before U.A.E. won access to tightly guarded American AI chips.

It’s astonishing the House of Reps isn’t calling an emergency session and unanimously voting to impeach him. Investigate and prosecute www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Meanwhile all the debt they took on to buy magic beans is very real. Would be really interesting to see a big forced seller like $MSTR.

I’m pretty sure it will be. Nextera estimates firmed solar will be up to half the cost by then - this deck is pretty interesting www.investor.nexteraenergy.com/~/media/File...

Good comparison and totally agree.

Exactly - I’d take these numbers with a mine’s worth of salt. Companies start multiple projects knowing they all won’t be built, to get negotiating leverage with jurisdictions, and certainly overbuilding now (far more than normal). And solar and storage economics will be more attractive then

Chomsky's prominence despite his lack of seriousness to put it lightly said a lot how movements that indulged him preferred narrative simplism over confronting injustice wherever it comes from in a complex world

Metals got rinsed

TIL - Catherine O’Hara had situs inversus (organs in mirror positions so heart on right, appendix on left). Also that there were apparently a large number of babies born with situs inversus after the initial wave of Covid.

In case we thought that ecological disasters were a special talent of modernity, let’s talk about how the 13th-century peat trade of Norfolk made it permanently vulnerable to flooding, including 3 catastrophic floods just since 2013.

LOL - “Central casting”

He definitely looks like he could play a central banker on TV, so yes.

I have always been thoroughly unimpressed by Kevin Warsh. Usually wrong on economic forecasting and advice, never in doubt. He does look like he should be leading some institution however.

The reason means testing is popular is because people really think fraud is widespread and it’s a way to peel off middle class support for these programs (since they no don’t benefit). It also makes programs look less efficient (program costs go up, number of people served goes down)
