He's on board with Gulf of America. In the Western hemisphere, what's in second place? The Sea of Cortez? That could become the Gulf of Mexico. California deserves to lose.

Quantum computing is a bust? Oh well, anyway...

Merging large language models and nanoscale engineering* will create an inflection point without it.

purpose built ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) were developed.

I've been excited for micromachines for decades, but problems of "stiction" and providing power seem to still be unresolved.

"Innerspace" was the first "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" type movie I can remember enjoying.

Crichton was working on a novel on the subject when he died, and it was published in 2011. I started reading, but I almost feel I can tell where in the story authors changed.

My brother-in-law was scheduled for his first solo flight today, so I tuned in. Didn't realize you can get radar data and ATC comms for practically anywhere.

It was too windy to solo, but I listened in as he did touch and goes and took right turns back into the downwind for short approaches.

To the west of the airport is an Airforce base, and I found it interesting to watch a Predator drone circle around it.

I listened to ground

and tower comms.

I started reading, but .... Micro_(novel)

I started the synopsis, but... it's a real downer.

Does the tower one do all the frequencies? My tower has couple fo approach and a military set also on 400 mhz band i cant normally hear because my comm stuff do t do military

All data and predictions are fake <==> It's all a Simulation

There must be a step #2?

He says that out-of-state builders will be working under California rules. I see a big opportunity for Geoship.

They're in Nevada County, CA, and they could metastasize their cast geopolymer manufacturing process and introduce a 'So-Cal' model with a big water reservoir at the summit, with a Rainbird (LF2400 --38-50ft radius) and foaming agent. Fireproof house, protected landscaping.

The curved TV fad just needed domed houses to catch on.

In my mind, the insulation and structural support should come from the same material, with other materials only used as a facade (better if the insulation and structural material is also a finished surface for a threefer).

Still waiting for LCD windows that can gradually transition from nearly 100% transparency to nearly 100% reflective. Window treatments are an ancient solution that needs to be retired.

Matching the requirement for structure and insulation might be difficult. Geoship use an inner and outer shell with trusses along the edges all of one material and insulation in the cavity.

SA talked about tent poles a bit more today. He frames it like a battle between wizards who are unseen, or forgotten in time, with ideas magically appearing within our reality. The "fine people" hoax is the example tent pole that was conjured into our minds.

I'm re-listening to the Rogan podcast with Peter Thiel.

Peter compares California to Saudi Arabia. Like Saudi Arabia it has a high GDP per capita despite dysfunctional politics/religion based on a concentration of a valuable resource. For CA, that resource is talent networks. He predicts that now that physical proximity to others is no longer a requirement to collaborate on tech projects, that talent resource will diffuse into locations other than silicon valley and CA, but it will take a while.

Peter says the linguistic tell for a pseudoscience is having to include the word science with the subject. Chemistry is a hard science because we don't have to call it "chemistry science". Biology is a hard science for the same reason. He juxtaposes those examples with "climate science" or "political science".
