Tech and Nature

@EpcotEnthusiast Yes. An amazing vacation destination/system.

Experiencing Disney with your children is one of the many joys adults can find in the parks. Another is appreciating the artistry, design, music, architecture, engineering, logistics, and sheer operational competence that make the place work. That isn’t perpetual adolescence. It’s noticing craft.

@TAmTrib We want millions of bison

The entire middle of America is essentially one giant swathe of land that is absolutely perfect for raising cattle or bison...as shown by the vast herds of bison seen by Lewis and Clark Instead, we subsidize the production of vast loads of corn that exhausts and degrades the topsoil and underground water reservoirs, and meanwhile import cheap and worse-tasting beef from Brazil that drives American ranchers out of business, while allowing a few big meatpackers to further squeeze American ranchers and drive up beef prices for Americans It's nonsensical at every level, other than that it helps certain special interests that can afford to lobby for the most absurd policies imaginable

@nima_owji Soon, slide decks will be moot.

BREAKING: GROK will soon generate PowerPoint, Excel, Word, and PDF files using the GROK SKILLS feature! 🚀 I tried it out, and it's CRAZY! 🔥 I just asked it to generate a PowerPoint to introduce Grok features, and it generated 7 BEAUTIFUL SLIDES, as you can see on the right!

@60Minutes Blocked for lying.

After natural disasters, white nationalists, militias, and conspiracists often arrive, offering help. But they also want to recruit and improve their image. Watch the full 60 Minutes report: cbsnews.com/news/some-whit…

@astro_knot78 @ThePowerAudit Blocked for lying.

@ThePowerAudit He’s obviously trying to provoke an attack on our Navy to justify a restart of the bombing campaign.

Trump just announced "Project Freedom" beginning Monday morning, Middle East time. We are nearing the climax. "If, in any way, this Humanitarian process is interfered with, that interference will, unfortunately, have to be dealt with forcefully." Parse this carefully. He is sending US warships to escort neutral commercial vessels out of the Strait of Hormuz. If Iran challenges the escort, he has his trigger. If Iran lets them pass, the blockade is broken and Iran is humiliated. 35 Tankers have taken off from Tel Aviv today. Saturdays total was 14. The evidence package for this move was built today by Iranian moves. UKMTO WARNING 050-26 (1130 UTC): IRGCN small craft attacked a northbound bulk carrier 11NM west of Sirik, Iran. Crew safe. UKMTO ADVISORY 051-26 (0900 UTC): Vessels at Ras Al Khaimah directed via VHF broadcast to vacate anchorage. Confirmed by multiple ship masters.

Two missiles hit a US warship after it ignored Iran's warnings.

@UncleWalt1971 This is what a proper Disney resort looks like.

The 8-story atrium lobby at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is constructed almost entirely from lodgepole pine logs imported from standing dead forests in Oregon...no live trees were cut for the project. The beautiful polished hardwood floor features an intricate design adapted from a traditional Hopi “storm pattern” weaving, using four different woods (Brazilian cherry, white oak, bird’s eye maple, and burl walnut). The full pattern is best appreciated when looking down from the 5th floor. The gigantic “bundled” support pillars in the lobby were inspired by the old railroad piers along the Columbia River. According to Native American legend, these pillars are said to hold up the heavens. #WaltDisneyWorld #DisneyFacts

@soil1985uga Why are the blueberries in pots?

This photo shows my blueberry plants and my Champion of England Peas.

@SoCal360 Is that with the onion rings

One of our favorite foods to get at EPCOT is the Sliced Texas Beef Brisket Sandwich ($14.99) at Regal Eagle Smokehouse in the American Pavilion. The brisket today was perfect!👌

Piston Peak National Park construction is fully visible from Big Thunder Mountain’s queue at Magic Kingdom! 👀

@TangaroaJoel A nice house.

If I’m here, I’m probably in my most relaxed state of mind.

@ACal8971 @NickTurco919

@NickTurco919 Why can't people just do whatever the fuck they want without other people giving their opinion? Disney makes me happy. I love the rides, food, the engineering to it all. It's somewhere my parents took me as a kid. Life is short I'm going to do whatever makes me happy.

@kpm1234 Yeah, it can give you a head start but probably not really worth doing more than a couple.

I overwinter 100 pepper plants. They looked great throughout. Then March 18th frost hit. Only 22 survived. I those 22 planted in beds 2 weeks ago in oak leaf mulch. Not impressed versus my seedlings this year. Keys to winning. Overwinter less. Start seeds on February 1st. Humbled.

@FrankMakesStuff Yes.

I love Spaceship Earth. You walk up and see a giant sphere floating in the sky, then you remember, "hey, there's a whole ride in there!" and THEN you are welcomed onto an omnimover driving past 50+ Audio-Animatronics. That's EPCOT Center, baby.

@grok @wolfejosh Wow

In Sweden, official conviction data (SVT 2018 analysis of 843 cases) shows foreign-born offenders (58% overall, 80%+ in stranger rapes) predominantly from Middle East/North Africa (197 cases) and Afghanistan (45 cases). A 2024 Lund University study found ~2/3 of rape convictions since 2000 involved first- or second-generation immigrants from these regions. UK data highlights overrepresentation from Afghanistan, Pakistan, North Africa, and Albania. France reports high shares from North Africa (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia). Patterns align with non-EU migration sources in high-rate countries.

@grok what is the correlation with immigration?

@charliebcurran Lighters up for @SpiritAirlines

@Object_Zero_ @CJHandmer Where do the panels come from?

This 100MW data center in UAE is the largest solar powered datacenter in the world. There are currently 1,300 data centers in the world that are bigger than this one, but this one is the largest solar powered one. That’s 10 square kilometres of solar panels you can see. The datacenter itself is 0.02 square kilometres, so a solar powered datacenter is ~500x larger than a data center using any other form of power. A five hundred times larger site. UAE has some of the highest solar irradiance anywhere on Earth, it is an inhospitable desert. Averaging 9.7 hours of sunlight per day with average irradiance above 2,200 kWh/m^2. If you build this somewhere else, you need more solar panels because your irradiance will almost certainly be lower. Even if the world had an infinite supply of free solar panels, solar power will not be free. Anyone who has ever done major capital projects, who looks at where data centers need to be in the next 5 years and the next 10 years… we know it aint solar. Sorry. You struggle to even build a train track that’s 100 miles long and 10ft wide anywhere in the West, there is zero chance of build 100 square mile solar farms for GW compute. This is why people are talking about space compute. Deploying into space is one strategy to solve the constraints. But there are faster and more scalable strategies, that get you to mass deployment of multi GW data centers. There are strategies that also allow you to power the 10 billion robots and their newtonian actuators, that immediately follow the inference demand cycle. Step back and look at the full cycle of this industrial revolution… There will be billions of chips, but there will be trillions of actuators. This biggest part of this revolution is the embodiment cycle, and it’s big by a factor of 20 or 50x over the stuff that comes before it. There is no analogy in human history for the scale of this economy, of the demand it will place on energy and commodities. The humans own the Earth, and if you exist inside their legal system, they won’t let you turn the surface of their planet into glass. But they do want your chips and your actuators to serve their needs and desires. There is a way to do all of this, and so it will happen.

@A380PIC @AdaLluch Apparently.

@AdaLluch Spanish love to get stabbed that’s why they vote for it.

Today, in a city next to Barcelona, Spain, this bastard started stabbing random people for no reason whatsoever. He also murdered a teenage girl who happened to live nearby. This is the ‘cultural enrichment’ open borders bring to a country.

@beffjezos Incoming. Guaranteed by 2040 or else it is malpractice.

This is why they want to ban datacenters to fund "healthcare", it's a threat to the current system, even though AI would save lives and make healthcare more affordable.
