if my child gets out of bed one. more. time. I’m gonna kiss his forehead and tuck him into his little pillow fort birds nest we made and sing the goodnight song and be patient and kind because he’s not even been around the sun five whole times yet and surely this is the greatest privilege of my insignificant life to hold his hand on the way back to bed

If you leave Germans alone with fields and rivers they'll automatically start building highly productive farms and factories like a baby beaver building a dam with toys. Theyre like ants they just have to work and build steel mills and machine shops and stuff they cant help it.

Today, Germany’s first F-35 took center stage at its official rollout ceremony. 🇩🇪
A defining milestone bringing 5th Gen capability to the Luftwaffe to strengthen deterrence, interoperability with NATO allies and security for decades to come.

China Rare Earth Giant Eyes Takeover Of MP Materials' Seventh-Largest Shareholder As Resource War Intensifies zerohedge.com/commodities/ch…

Rare earth magnets sit inside nearly every electric motor, but 90% of the material is conventionally thrown away.
Mass Magnetics (S26) is recycling magnets from EV motors into new ones for robotics and defense, avoiding much of the capital-intensive refining required by mining.

One of the great chapters in America's history is how we converted our economy to wartime production in the 1940s and used our industrial power to win WWII.
I'd learned in high school that we converted car factories into tank factories. But I never knew the full story until last month, when I read Freedom's Forge, the definitive book on this.
It turns out the true story is even crazier and more impressive. In honor of July 4th, here's the story of how America won WWII, one factory at a time.

The whole AI datacenter in space discourse is so bad. You have illiterate AI bros being dunked on by people who took high school physics (space is not cold! vacuum in an insulator!). Themselves being dunked on by STEM graduates (Stefan-boltzmann! only 100m^2 of radiators!). 1/2

Gustaf (right) when he was in YC. You can see why our nickname for this startup was "the band".
