Well green hydrogen is also a necessity if you want to make carbon-neutral synthetic hydrocarbon fuels.

Dr. Asperger may or may not have been sorting autistic children into high- and low-functioning groups so that the higher group (with “Asperger’s”) could go on to become good Nazis and the lower group could be euthanized.

YMMV, I guess - we were surprised when our first grader said math was her favorite part of school this year, and she recently asked if she can get i-Ready on her iPad.

Haggling with DoD over contract terms and losing out is utterly routine. Ending up labeled a supply chain risk as a result is not.

Honestly, this makes me almost feel better about the whole situation.

I had been finding it super unsettling: Like, why would DoD go nuclear over wanting to build fully autonomous weapons… with Claude?

But no, it’s just run-of-the-mill Trump administration corruption. Phew!

As much as it pains me to say it, this is a plausible answer in 2026

Lack of pull-through charging stations is a very big hurdle too.

It's insane to me that this even needs to be written – showing you care is just not that hard! And it absolutely doesn't have to come at the expense of business goals.

I've had some amount of success running a startup, and honestly the only thing that reliably paid off was hiring great (i.e., smart, thoughtful, kind) people and treating them like family.

It’s an interesting question. The shares are likely not transferrable without amending the LLC agreement or whatever. If you want in on Anthropic, though, and you know the FTX estate has to liquidate, then there’s a chance you can get to a good price; maybe less than $3B but probably not a ton, because lots of other people want in too.

On the other hand, the current investors probably won’t want to make an exception for FTX if they know it’s going to cause them to write down their stakes.

I mean, most MCUs are already 15+ years behind the state of the art process node and are still supply constrained. The issue, I think, is that once these market conditions are resolved, any new fabs will have ~zero value, and there is a non-zero chance that your shiny new-old fab comes online after the shortage is over. Not an easy sell to shareholders I suspect.

I can safely say that my investment has amortized down to something very close to $0...
