I build historic homes using period specific materials & design. I have done brick mass masonry, chinked log homes, stone homes, geodesic domes - all over 🇺🇸
I exist to preserve America.
The foundation of our nation is solid. We just need to remove the boomer layers & rebuild.

US Data Centers use about 150B gallons of water.
U.S. golf courses use about 500B gallons of water.
US Almond Farms use about 1500B gallons of water.
Now you know the scale of the problem. We cannot go on like this. We MUST control our almond consumption.

Guys we need to remember what profit is: the difference between how much a buyer is willing to pay for a thing versus what it cost to create it.
Profit happens only when the outputs are worth more than the inputs.
Profit is literally value creation.
Profit is good.

For Memorial Day, do yourself a favor and take three minutes of your time to listen to this Civil War letter from Maj. Sullivan Ballou to his wife.
I just started re-watching the Ken Burns series, which debuted in 1990 to a record-breaking audience of 40 million, for the first time since it originally aired.
While I had forgotten all of the specifics of the show over the years, I NEVER forgot this letter or this moment, which closed the first episode.
Burns kept a copy of the letter in his wallet for 25 years.

Important watch. Thomas Kane at Harvard is doing amazing work collecting annual data that can help drive improvement in US K-12 education. Many problems. Some bright spots.

As the school year comes to a close, a new analysis shines a harsh spotlight on what's being called a "learning recession" among American students. It's a problem that started long before the pandemic, according to the latest National Education Scorecard — an annual deep dive into data about kids in grades K-12. The findings of this report are sobering. Children had a steady decline in math and reading scores beginning all the way back to 2013, which happens to be when smartphones and social media really took off. Compared to a decade ago, math scores today are down in 70% of school districts. Reading scores are down in 83%. Scores have climbed a bit since 2022, but nowhere close to making up all the lost ground. In fact, 8th grade reading scores are now at their lowest level since 1990. @wmbrangham recently spoke with Thomas Kane, one of the authors of the scorecard and a professor at Harvard University.

In all of human history, has there ever been a commodity with infinite demand, as there appears to be for intelligence? I can't think of one. Even compute, energy or just silicon/sand are just downstream of intelligence, which is the main demand driver.
In economics, rather than modeling the usual price/demand curve to reach an equilibrium, perhaps you'd have to model price/*rate of demand growth* (ie, the derivative of demand, or some other indicator of velocity)
Interestingly, ChatGPT (below) prefers the framework of "recursive expansion of demand" as increasing intelligence opens new applications/markets.
But the end result is the same -- the demand curve keeps moving to the right, maybe forever.
Which I think is unprecedented.

Texas counties face growing pressure to impose data center moratoriums.
Before any policy debate, one fact is clear: counties lack the authority.
This runs deeper than policy. It strikes at the heart of constitutional property rights.
In Texas, those rights run strong. 🧵

This is fundamentally why we run a profitable business. Because as long as we're profitable, we can sustain. And when you sustain, you have more opportunities for these magic moments. I've found no better way to bump into more magic than to simply be available for it. There's nothing better than that moment of insight, of catching a glint, of seeing a meh transform into an oh wow, we're on to something.

In a study of people with generalized anxiety disorder, only 8.6% of recorded worries actually happened. The most common outcome: 0%. Not a single worry came true.

@Sarah4Texas OK, we’re gonna use 100 times less than the local golf course and 100,000 times the economic value, would that work for you?

Texas data centers. We can have a say in how our water is used and how electricity is allocated. But it takes talking to elected officials.
