What’s 50 Out of 2.2 million?

Headline should read, DeepMind calculated 2.2 million hypothetically stable crystal structures with the possibility to advance everything from materials science to biology (emphasis mine)

There’s a large difference between a hypothetical crystal structure and being able to produce that crystal structure in the real world. And an even larger difference between the hypothetical and the ability to produce the crystal structure in an efficient and cost-effective enough manner to be usable. There are already multiple materials that are known that would make better batteries than lithium-ion batteries, but either the manufacturing method is too hard or expensive, or the materials are extremely rare. So it’s nice DeepMind was able to do this, but it’s years from being usable still.

It’s all up-front costs! /s

It’s like they were trying to jump the Gorge Dukes of Hazzard style. Crazy to watch.

Someone has to take Ted Cruz to Mexico.

ADL would almost certainly file an anti-SLAPP claim and probably win. California’s anti-SLAPP law even says that it’s contents should be broadly considered as a bulwark against assholes using the courts to prevent public participation. If ADL does win an anti-SLAPP motion, Musk would end up paying their lawyers fees down to the cent.

It’s more like 2.5 billion for R&D and then 2.5 billion to create the factory that builds them and the first thousand units. The per unit cost is initially high and then comes down once all the front end work is done.

And as with many programs, the R&D phase may lead to a brand new use-case for drones or an entirely different purpose for one of the drone prototypes. So there can be unknown benefits too.

Or, they have the greatest, most technologically advanced space navy, with the Mariner Valley full of Chinese-Texans who all speak with the Texan drawl.

Don’t forget blowing up the train tracks leading into Tokmak! It’s not really about taking Tokmak but putting fire control on the train running through Tokmak. If Ukraine can prevent resupply via the trains then everything west of Tokmak falls practically without a shot.

I am the… No, really… No ex-President takes mug shots like me. I’m just…Have you seen it? It’s beautiful. People all say it’s the greatest ex-President mug shot ever.

Damn right it is!

He has family in Russia. If he doesn’t get them out, they die painfully. Maybe Pringles had a heart in there somewhere after all.

Reports are that Moscow’s anti-air fired on the jet… “accidentally.”

How do you know the plane didn’t have a nice window on it?

Yep, people in Rochester were pissed to learn this. Instead of riding the wave, Kodak execs turned the company into a donkey.

The Jarls already take their 10% tithe which is duly theirs!

Strong disagree. NATO has Article 5, which would provide for mutual defense. The USA will give Ukraine weapons and as much help as they possibly can to win the war, but they will not join Ukraine as a participant in hostilities. The USA can’t guarantee Ukraine’s territorial integrity unless it’s willing to send fighters which is the exact thing the USA is avoiding right now. It’s deliberately limiting the scope of help so that they don’t start a nuclear war with Russia. And these guarantees are more of a “you can eventually join” and “we’ll give you as much information as we gather and any weapons we can afford, but you have to fight” than a NATO for Ukraine.

Sadly, Ukraine won’t be admitted to NATO until the major hostilities are over. If Ukraine can beat back Russian troops to outside their borders, then NATO will let Ukraine join. The missile attacks that Russia will use after they lose the last Ukrainian territory will continue until the day Ukraine accedes to NATO, then Russia will switch to as many annoying fly-bus as they think they can get away with.

I will believe it when I see it.

Until you have to navigate it. I’m dreading it RN. Hopefully it’s better than it currently looks.
