Incredible symbolism. You couldn't make this stuff up.

been following my colleague Nicholas Carlini's work on this internally for a while now, so I was happy to see him give a talk publicly: > These current models are better vulnerability researchers than I am. I used to do this somewhat professionally.

Reading about Japanese military officers like Tadamichi Kuribayashi and Isoroku Yamamoto exploring the US and seeing its industrial might and having an understanding of how tough WWII was going to be. I think the US needs top people on the ground in China doing the same as well.

200 helium containers are stranded in the Persian Gulf right now. Each one holds 41,000 liters cooled to -269°C. The containers have no refrigeration. No compressor, no cooling loop. Insulation is all that stands between the cargo and ambient heat, and it buys 35 to 48 days. After that, the liquid boils, the pressure valve opens, and the helium vents to atmosphere. Re-liquefying it requires a specialized plant. Most ports do not have one. Qatar's North Field supplied 33% of the world's helium as a byproduct of cryogenic separation at its LNG plants. On March 2, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz. Spot prices surged 70 to 100 percent. EUV lithography requires 99.9999% purity helium for wafer cooling and no current substitute exists. The fifth helium shortage since 2006 has just begun.

The Costco apartment project in South LA pulled its building permit in February and has begun construction

i've seen "financial engineering" you people wouldn't believe

8 days to complete a 4 story, eight unit, courtyard building with timber prefab kit. That's one interesting detail I took away from a FASCINATING meeting today with an Austrian prefab company.

NBC reports that Trump's national security team shows him a daily air strike snuff film but does not brief him on major negative developments. Great way to make sure he looks dumb and makes bad decisions.

I hope no one needs an MRI this year. The world's largest producer of liquified helium is in Qatar and is shut off. We just got a notice that our supply for the year will be at least cut in half. No one could have predicted this (unless they thought about it).
