Fusion for SpaceX levitation, industrial and space needs. Global open tokens and global open resources   I was reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levitated_Dipole_Experiment today and encouraged. While the economics of bulk electricity production are not particularly favorable, there are many new transportation, industrial and space applications where GigaWatt and larger power modules are needed.   For instance to

“To skittle something” could mean “do it right, for everyone, listen and change when needed”

I randomly sample things on the Internet and often trace out business processes to see what companies are doing. Just now I was watching an Australian 60 Minutes about plastic recycling (lack of recycling) and at 6:39 it showed a dirty package of Skittles. I thought, “How hard would it be to send Mars Wrigley

Andrew Millison: How Farmers Reshaped a Region and Solved Drought at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79VUAFq2rbg Beautiful planning and vision. I hope you might help Bangladesh and India manage their floods with interconnected plans that look at water management, not borders. All the deserts of the world can be recovered and carefully monitored. But you will have to protect

Niko McCarty @NikoMcCarty  The whole notion of “Write, Read, Edit” as some great driver of progress in biology is incredibly misguided. Yes, DNA sequencing and synthesis costs have fallen rapidly. What have we gotten for it? The vast majority of strains we make don’t work, because we don’t understand the https://pic.x.com/zt1nkt9spv Replying to @NikoMcCarty The

Baran Hashemi @Rythian47  How can we teach Transformers to learn and model Enumerative geometry? How deep can AI go in the rabbit hole of understanding complex mathematical concepts? We’ve developed a new approach using Transformers to compute psi-class intersection numbers in algebraic geometry. https://pic.x.com/xkkjgh1bke Replying to @Rythian47 Enumerative geometry is not “all mathematics”.

100s of millions of heat deaths, 100s of trillions in economic losses, and the frog begins to twitch

John Lindsey @PGE_John  Our son Sean has been stationed with the U.S. Navy in Bahrain in the Persian Gulf. He mentioned that the humid heat there is almost indescribable, with dew points reaching the 90s. In other words, sweat doesn’t evaporate, making it nearly impossible for the body to cool down. x.com/US_Stormwatch/… Colin McCarthy @US_Stormwatch
