And if he's saying they want to build a terawatt of compute facility PER YEAR using satellites, then they are going to run into Kessler Syndrome pretty quick.

"Terawatt per year" doesn't make sense. Watts measure the rate of energy transfer - the "per year/hour/second/whatever" is already part of the unit.
This probably sounds like I'm splitting hairs here, but I think he doesn't know what a terawatt actually is.

OK... I watched it and I liked it, but I don't think I really understood it properly. Of course, I have a Flan O'Brien/Myles n'gCapalín/Brian Nolan quote on my profile and I barely understood 50% of that, so actually it's right up my alley.

Dude. This is one of those plays I keep meaning to watch, but never get round to actually doing it.

Basically he does stupid shit that on average should result in ruin, but the nature of probability is that it is entirely possible to flip 100 heads in a row, and then on flip 101 you still have a 50/50 of calling it right, only now everyone is willing to put down money backing up your bet.

At the height of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, it was a big deal when the soldiers on patrol switched from wearing berets to helmets and back again. This was at a time when there were actual hostile snipers in operation, not just guys throwing sandwiches.

That preamble about starting your videos with a convoluted disclaimer about string theory really sets the email up for success.

It's a great example of why you need to actually offer something to your electorate and not just rely on them picking you because the other guys are so bad.

That's not knocking it btw. I fully accept I probably just didn't get it.

TBH, I've only read Use of Weapons and I just wasn't into it.
It *did* seem to have a lot of stuff Elon would dig. A post-scarcity civilization with no laws, run by super-intelligent space ships with edge-lord names.

Well no one you know looks up to them and many people I know do look up to them. Also I see so many people trying to get onto the career ladder to work with them.
I guess we'll have to see how that works out long-term.

I don't know. Many of the real talented nerds I've worked with just aligned themselves with what the boss wanted. At least the ones who got promoted did that.
