Finally! Some good news in the world.

Robots replacing Chinese peasants and somehow people think wages matter to what gets automated.

Turbine blades are pure aluminum, which melts at 1220 degrees. They operate inside the compression chamber of the turbine to move gases that are around 1500 degrees. There's a whole art to making them single crystals and optimizing flow rates so they don't melt, or explode, or melt and explode. And a lot of work goes into making sure when they do melt and explode, they don't turn into supersonic bullets. Just barely though, because armor is heavy.

They have the industry by the balls and know it. Even though there is competing tech, it won't be to market for years. Honestly I expect the bubble to pop first, destroy capex, and lead to up coming tech getting shelved. Because why invest in a new path when the old one will be dirt cheap again?

They're going to run into speed bumps soon enough. Capital problems are starting to appear in the AI market over the past month, that's going to get a LOT worse. And no matter what, production in 5 years won't look like it does today. Between competition, newer production tech, and political upheaval, it's going to be a hell of a ride.

An ESP32-P4 is about the same ram, better IO options, but half the CPU of the original Pi for about $20 right now. So the tech has been progressing a little bit.

While on the same machine, the turbine blades that melt at 1250 degrees operate at 1500 degrees.

It's all magic

The news of air defense being put into Mara Lago and a plane crash right afterwords is crazy sus.

I've noticed they shut off the automatic AI overview on a lot of searches now. It's still there and comes up, but not as the automatic first thing on the page most of the time.

The damage has barely started. We're all on the Titanic, and we can already see the ice berg coming.

Brennan Center has done multiple rounds of polling on it, there is no single source, just a wide group of agreement in data from voting rights and legal groups like the SLPC.

The problem is that when it comes up in documented cases like when Connecticut rolled back their voter ID law due to disruptions in municipal votes, it's a small sample that doesn't reflect the entire state, just that local area. When it comes to larger data sets, you run into voter privacy protection laws that no one wants to risk violating on either side. So you can't even collect information. Which is why we have exit polling and similar sampling methods.

The Russian diesel was just a profit sharing deal.
