TRUMP: WILL BE 'HARD FOR ANYBODY TO REMOVE IRAN'S URANIUM


NAPOLEON WAS MADE BRIGADIER GENERAL AT AGE 24 ALEXANDER WAS KING OF MACEDONIA AT AGE 20 YOU? STILL PROCRASTINATING YOUR ENTIRE LIFE


Cursor is now free for students. Enjoy!



NOW - White House's Leavitt: "Our nation was a nation founded, 250 years ago almost, on Judeo-Christian values."






Imagine a team of ten cleaning a 2,000㎡ wall by hand for 3 days. Now imagine doing it in half a day with a drone. And this wall belongs to Nanchang (南昌) Railway Station, a key hub on the Beijing-Kowloon Railway, built in preparation of Hong Kong's return to China in 1997. The station building from that era is now nearly 30 years old. For years, cleaning its glass and the once-trendy rectangular exterior tiles was slow and inefficient. This year, the station upgraded the game. They rented a DJI M400 drone, capable of withstanding strong winds, hovering with precision, and equipped with a high-pressure water system. Operators can now visually target and clean stains through a live camera feed. The result? What once required a full team and days of labor can now be completed in just half a day. When machines begin to replace routine labor, the real question is no longer "if," but "where next."










80% of buses are electric in China. This has nothing to do with Net Zero, its all about energy security. We need to be a lot less ideological about the energy mix - if we make it lets use it, wind. nuclear, oil, gas or solar.


I use AI to do research (i.e., find things to read, explain parts of academic papers I find ambiguous or confusing), transcribe interviews, generate pushback on my column thesis, suggest trims when I'm over my word count, sharpen podcast interview questions, and perform a final fact check on columns and editorials. But mostly it's compressing the ancillary tasks to the main job: reading, thinking, and writing.
