@MorEdge_Insight @elonmusk old idea. Anything at that speed would burn up instantly from air frictrion. same reason asteroids burn up going the other direction. This would work if no atmosphere like the moon.

Now this next tech is just WOW. It’s so mind blowing that even @elonmusk would be impressed… Israel is building something straight out of science fiction. Israeli startup, Moonshot Space, is developing a ground-based electromagnetic launch system, essentially a massive coilgun/rail launcher that will accelerate spacecraft to hypersonic speeds without traditional chemical rockets. The system uses synchronized electromagnetic waves to propel hardened capsules up to 8 km per second (Mach 23+). They’ve already tested lower-speed versions and are pushing toward full orbital capability. This could slash launch costs dramatically and make frequent, affordable access to space a reality. From the Israeli desert to orbit at hypersonic speed, Startup Nation isn’t just joining the space race. We’re changing how it’s played. Proud every single day. 🇮🇱 #StartupNation #IsraeliInnovation #SpaceTech #MoonshotSpace

@niccruzpatane No company sells an item that can earn above market returns. They will have to price it very high for this reason. Plus traffic is about to explode. But yes Waymo has been safe and awesome for years.

🚨 Fusion breakthrough: Scientists just held a stable plasma for 60 seconds without damaging the reactor. That’s a big deal. Here’s the problem with fusion: • Plasma = hotter than the Sun • Reactor walls = melt risk • Stability = constantly collapsing (ELMs) Normally you can’t have both: Stable plasma and low heat on the walls This changes that. They created a new regime: • No ELM explosions • Reduced heat hitting the reactor • Strong confinement maintained • Sustained for 1 full minute How? Letting controlled turbulence do the work Instead of fighting instability… They used it to balance the system naturally My take: This is a pattern across physics now: The goal isn’t perfect control. It’s structured imbalance that stabilizes itself That’s how fusion becomes real. Follow me I track where physics becomes structure.

@greendragonhq You are showing your ignorance by not understanding the difference between revenue and profit. I'll try to simplify for you. If you drive an Uber and earn $10, but spend $11 on gas, how much do you owe in taxes?

In 2025 Tesla’s revenue was $5.7 billion. They paid $0 in federal taxes. That’s not a typo. They paid ZERO, ZILCH, NADA! Your grandmother on social security paid more. A homeless vet collecting $800/month in benefits paid more. Teenagers working after school paid more.

@Bubblebathgirl Why not just have everyone line up and they pass out $10 bills. Its the same thing. The line will be very long, people will push like its black Friday at wallmart, and they will run out of money very quickly.

Mayor Mamdani says there’ll be “an essential basket of goods” at his city-run grocery stores that will be priced noticeably lower than at other supermarkets. We’ve already seen this strategy before. We know what it results in. And none of it is good. Get ready for long lines, poor customer service, and operating at a loss. This will also hurt bodegas and smaller grocery stores. Mamdani is essentially using tax dollars to drive mom-and-pop businesses out of business. That’s socialism for you. (abc7ny on TT)

Older generations say “we all struggled in our 20s.” No, you didn’t. You didn’t pay $3200 for rent and $10 for eggs. You didn’t graduate into $50K student debt and $0 job security. Gen Z isn’t dramatic. They’re drowning.

It wasn’t a path not taken or ignored. I too have a master in neural networks from the early 90’s. Back then reading zip codes was the only thing they did better than the classic computer. We didn’t have the memory, the computing power nor the digital library to train with. You could claim we are ignoring quantum computers, but we aren’t. Their time will come too.

Marc Andreessen explains why we are only three years into what is effectively an 80-year technological revolution: He opens with a blunt assessment: "This is the biggest technological revolution of my life. This is clearly bigger than the internet. The comps on this are things like the microprocessor and the steam engine and electricity." But to understand why, you have to go back 80 years. In the 1930s, the pioneers of computing understood the theory of computation before they'd even built the machines. And they faced a fundamental choice. Build computers in the image of the adding machine — hyper-literal, mathematical, capable of billions of operations per second, but unable to understand human speech or deal with humans the way humans like to be dealt with. Or build computers modelled on the human brain. Neural networks. They chose the adding machine. And that single decision shaped everything — mainframes, PCs, smartphones, every dollar of wealth the computer industry created over the next 80 years. IBM itself is the successor company to the National Cash Register Company of America. The lineage runs that deep. But here's what makes this moment so extraordinary. They knew about the other path. The first neural network academic paper was published in 1943. Marc points to a remarkable piece of forgotten history: "There's an interview you can watch on YouTube with the authors. It's him in his beach house, not wearing a shirt, talking about this future in which computers are going to be built on the model of the human brain." That was 1946. The vision existed. The path just wasn't taken. So neural networks spent the next eight decades living in the shadows. Kept alive by a small academic movement — first called cybernetics, then artificial intelligence — that refused to let the idea die. And for most of that time, it simply didn't work. "It was basically decade after decade after decade of excessive optimism followed by disappointment." By the time Marc reached college in 1989, AI was a backwater field. Everyone assumed it was never going to happen. But the scientists kept working. Quietly building up an enormous reservoir of concepts and ideas across those decades of disappointment. And then Christmas 2022 arrived. ChatGPT. And suddenly: "All of a sudden it's like: oh my god. It turns out it works." That moment wasn't the start of something new. It was the payoff on an 80-year-old bet that almost everyone had written off. Which is exactly why Marc's framing matters so much: "We're three years into what is effectively an 80-year revolution." Most people are treating AI like another technology cycle — something to adapt to, ride, and wait out. But if Andreessen is right, we are not adapting to a new cycle. We are standing at the very beginning of the longest and most consequential technological transformation in human history. The road not taken in the 1930s is finally being built. And we have barely broken ground.

The energy war just changed. America burns coal at night to keep the lights on while China built something different and most people have no idea it exists. In the middle of the Gobi Desert, there is a 263-meter tower surrounded by 12,000 mirrors in a perfect circle, spread across nearly 8 square kilometers of barren land. It looks like something out of a science fiction film. They are focused on a single point at the top of that tower, raising temperatures above 800 degrees Fahrenheit. That heat gets pumped into tanks filled with a special liquid salt mixture. They are using Molten salt, the same stuff ancient civilizations used to preserve food is now storing the sun's energy at 565 degrees Celsius. When the sun goes down, the plant keeps generating electricity. The molten salt stays hot for hours after sunset and drives a steam turbine on demand. This is a 100-megawatt power station that runs 24 hours a day on sunlight alone. It produces over 390 million kilowatt-hours of power every single year. Every coal plant on earth has one critical weakness, it needs fuel to burn. This plant needs nothing but the sun and a tank full of heated salt that refuses to cool down. The implications are enormous. The oldest argument against solar energy has always been: "What happens at night?" China just answered that question with 12,000 mirrors and a tower visible from space.

The world's largest utility company just eliminated one of the most dangerous jobs on earth. China's State Grid which controls power for 1.1 billion people has deployed robotic electricians across 26 provinces and counting. These machines work on live, 10,000-volt wires while the power stays fully on. Before this, the workers who did this job wore full conductive armor and understood that one wrong move was fatal. Now the robot takes that risk instead. The machines strip insulation, tighten connections, and splice wires with millimeter precision, all while hanging at altitude on a live grid. They complete tasks 50 percent faster than a human crew and report a 98 percent success rate. This is already the operating standard in more than two dozen Chinese provinces. China is about to spend $554 billion upgrading its power grid between now and 2030. That is a war chest for building the most automated, AI-powered energy infrastructure in human history. Meanwhile, the United States has a shortage of 40,000 electricians and the gap is getting worse every year. China's answer to that problem is not a trade school, it is a fleet of machines that never sleeps or quits. Every other country still arguing about whether robots will replace workers is watching the answer get deployed in real time.

Tucker Carlson announces that the United States government may be preparing to arrest him through a CIA criminal referral. The government is reportedly claiming that Carlson’s interviews with Iranian leaders before the war began may have violated the law. He says the government spied on him, read his text messages, and is now trying to imprison him like Julian Assange and Edward Snowden.

In 2006, Al Gore released An Inconvenient Truth, a film that defined modern climate alarm. In it, he warned Greenland and Antarctica's ice would melt, driving seas high enough to put major cities underwater, with entire coastlines redrawn. Eighteen years later though, none of it has happened. Not even close. Meanwhile, Gore got very rich. While ordinary people were told to feel guilty and cut back, he built a fortune. Gore became the first climate billionaire. His wealth came from green investment funds, such as board seats and advisory roles, 200k+ speaking fees and carbon credit trading. Al Gore didn't save the planet. He monetized fear.
