Hi! Hope you feel better soon. And enjoy the time that all the other Americans are asleep

The Dakar bit reminded me of the time I saw one of the de Rooy trucks do a burnout during a demonstration in my city. A normal race car will leave some rubber on the road. This truck started doing that, and then proceeded to dig two holes in the asphalt. These things are awesome

Another view

It would be kind of funny if the ai bubble pops because a little factory in the north of Italy can’t make the forgings for an important bit of power infrastructure fast enough

Went back and forth to Paris in one day and it's fast through the Netherlands, very Belgium between Antwerp and Brussels, and suddenly all the cars are going backwards on the highway at 160km/h when you enter France

Wow, amazing photo

Another angle

I’m definitely not, but it’s going to be extremely funny if they have warehouses of GPU’s that can’t be used, because the lead time for a new high voltage transformer is three years.

I’m also wondering who is going to build the power stations. 26GW is more power than several countries can generate, and building a new power station plus related infrastructure takes longer than a datacenter.

My grandfathers cat

This is Madelief, a cat that really prefers to hang out at the train station to relax and get pet by loads of people. And it’s always nice to see her when I have to be at the station

I know just enough about the period to be interested, and would like to learn more about it. It does sound like a lot of extra research work on top of all the other things though.

If spending less time here means spending more energy hanging out with friends, or doing creative endeavors? Go for it.
