Immortality is a nice complement to faster than light travel. You get to explore the universe and your friends are still alive when you get back.

I think it bears repeating that BART installed tall gates to enter the subway and they're gaining $10m in revenue a year plus the need for maintenance is down by *95.7%* Passengers who were unwilling to pay a few bucks were causing 96% of the public cleanliness problems!

@maxdubler And there are other real benefits such as fewer corrective maintenance requests and time spent cleaning and fixing things.

@aaronburnett Your analysis is excellent for an organization that doesn’t design, build and fly thousands of satellites. Within a few iterations, we can probably get AI satellites to <100kW/ton, inclusive of all components, especially if the GPU is designed to operate at ~370 Kelvin.

2026 will see a lot of articles commenting on SpaceX's orbital data center (ODCs) plans. like this one, most will contain little to no depth, reference expert skeptics and certainly zero first principles. I'd highly suggest arming yourself with actual math and physics backed information. We've dedicated 100+ hours over the last 2.5 months to understanding this topic and specifically SpaceX's role in it. These are our top 3 analyses on ODCs, that you may want to spend the time to understand. - Cooling/Radiators analysis (most popular): research.33fg.com/analysis/debun… - Location of first ODCs: why SSO matters research.33fg.com/analysis/where… - Energy breakeven research.33fg.com/analysis/orbit…

BEHIND THE CURTAIN: Elon Musk believes SpaceX has cracked the code on building orbiting data centers to power AI — and plans to fund the audacious vision through its IPO. Musk and other top AI execs believe that earthbound data centers will become politically toxic and less efficient than space. axios.com/2026/01/19/ai-…

We need figure out how to make that skele-gro stuff from harry potter in real life. Inject it into a bone, that bone becomes clay for 20 mins, reshape it then it sets. Fix old injuries and birth defects, fucked up jaws, fix sleep apnea, etc etc.

After spending the first 30 years of my life exploring silicon based life forms, it’s fascinating to study carbon based life. Yes, I have a girlfriend.

Bitcoin lightning network literally works like this. Searching for a path through the nodes in the network, then the transaction propagates all the way through the best path, instantly.

Invest in your health, fitness, family, friendships, psychological durability and skills. These are better hedges than gold in a market downturn.

Very well written report from Reflective's SAB released this year. A cogent and concrete plan for the study and advancement of SRM. reflective.org/reflective-sci… Also, an exciting departure from 2022 statement, "we don’t advocate for deployment or developing capability to deploy."

2) Assess the feasibility and trade-offs associated with proposed early deployment scenarios, including research on the engineering feasibility of the physical deployment infrastructure.

Top priorities are : 1) Address the uncertainty relating to aerosol size distribution and small-scale physics.
