The New York Times wrote a hit piece about me, so I made a 45 minute video showing they're full of shit~
As with the WSJ, at least it's a good picture!

The Council on America-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has put out a letter demanding for me to be fired

The woman who led this charge, Zahra Billoo, has a history of supporting terrorists

Instead of trying to get me fired, I wish CAIR would investigate my claims about the Mamdanis Image

Today as it comes out that George Soros has been funding some of the Gaza protests across US college campuses

It's probably worth reminding people that in 2004 Soros admitted he views himself as "some kind of God" Image
It's also worth pointing out that as a teenager Soros helped the Nazis confiscate property from other Jews

Something the media has basically erased from history (clip is from a '98 interview with Steve Kroft)

Elon wasn't wrong when he called him Magneto

Full LA Time article, which is insane

I was listening to the All In Pod this morning and @DavidSacks briefly mentioned the impacts to the German economy due to their dependence on natural gas from Russia

I've been obsessed with the chemicals industry since I was a kid and the story here is crazier than you'd think Image
Before starting, I want to say that I'm a techno optimist and I believe that Germany's decision to shut down their nuclear facilities was one of the stupidest political decisions in history

Most of their economy is based on turning energy into chemicals

Woke economic seppuku
The chemicals industry is absolutely massive, doing about $5T year in revenue

More than oil and gas!

Energy+chemicals are the yin&yang that form the bedrock of the global economy

The modern chemical industry effectively started in Germany

BASF alone did $92B in rev last year

On this Chinese balloon nonsense most analysts have focused on “imaging” which you can do from spysats

What people are missing is that we’re going through a phase transition in our sensing capabilities rn

The future of sensing are quantum devices at nature’s limits
If I had to guess I’d bet that balloon was loaded w quantum sensors that could do things like map Earth’s gravitational field to remarkable precision, to a depth of ~1km below surface, letting you determine underground structure down to ~10m resolution by material
The idea that this balloon was an “accident” is comical to me. It was loaded with sensor gear. High altitude balloons are surprisingly steerable by changing altitude to draft on different wind streams

IMO the best part of the winter break is time for reading

As such I was able to catch up on the NIF fusion results

And oh my, what a crock of bullshit

Climate is all the rage and the world is desperate for good clean energy news, but this is not it
The headline numbers read beautifully:

2.05 megajoules of laser power in, and 3.15 MJ of energy output

The 2.05 MJ of laser power is highly misleading. It was actually ~100+ MJ as the conversion from grid power to laser power is highly inefficient

science.org/content/articl… Image
Unfortunately, details are scant as there still aren't even scientific publications on the result. Last time NIF made a grandiose claim, it took ~one year before they released papers
