As with everything, there is nuance & industry-specific requirements here.

Very informative video - highly recommended watching it.

Got the Sunday video up early this time!

If you've been seeing news about "oh no there's a spike in farm bankruptcy"- it is NOT as simple as "farms go out of business & then investors buy them all."

last month, we spent 4 hours with Chad’s night crew.

it was worth every minute. here is just 6 of them.

give it a watch—because keeping watch is exactly what these crews do every single day for all
of us after dark.

That is a (literally) unbelievable number of airframes, especially of the newest generation. I would love to see domestic production of much of it, but cannot believe such a high number, even spread across ten years.

The exact timeframe is obviously classified, but largely not dependent on mechanical requirements.
Seawater is used for oxygen, water supply for crew and reactor systems, and cooling primarily.
US submarines have essentially unlimited endurance.

Modern day submarines do. We use electrolysis to separate oxygen from seawater and, in emergency situations, use oxygen 'candles' to provide air.

This framing of “legitimate discussions” on nuclear topics suggests that national security experts who work entirely with publicly accessible knowledge/data shouldn’t try to analyze what public info/tools rogue proliferators could potentially use.

Matthew Gault @mjgault.bsky.social · 6d

what's interesting here is less that Anthropic put nuke guard rails on Claude and more HOW they did it. They deployed frontier models into a NNSA-controlled Top Secret Amazon server (yes, really) and America's nuclear admins try to make the chatbot help them build a nuke

The NNSA red-teaming process—meaning, testing for weaknesses—helped Anthropic and America’s nuclear scientists develop a proactive solution for chatbot-assisted nuclear programs. Together, they “codeveloped a nuclear classifier, which you can think of like a sophisticated filter for AI conversations,” Favaro says. “We built it using a list developed by the NNSA of nuclear risk indicators, specific topics, and technical details that help us identify when a conversation might be veering into harmful territory. The list itself is controlled but not classified, which is crucial, because it means our technical staff and other companies can implement it.”

Favaro says it took months of tweaking and testing to get the classifier working. “It catches concerning conversations without flagging legitimate discussions about nuclear energy or medical isotopes,” she says.

Unserious: I whisper "sorry little guys" every time I clean a microscope slide.

Serious: We seriously undervalue the role of critical infrastructure as centers of community and outreach. I make it a goal to visit every water, wastewater plant every trip I take.

I am absolutely zero percent surprised.

If the nuclear community lost all its furries and weeaboos and... whatever this is, our national security would be seriously jeopardized.

Although not a significant point source, I was surprised to hear that only 48% of stations of had a wastewater treatment facility.
Even a basic settling process would be an improvement, microfilter+ ideal (although BNR might not work) but at least keep solids out of effluent.
