I believe this is what Pete Hegseth calls “maximum efficiency, maximum lethality.”
Thankfully there was not a maximum lethality situation here..

No surprise: new analysis shows that heat pumps can deliver excellent performance even in older buildings with no meaningful correlation between building age & heat pump efficiency.
This is in line with my own experience of having a heat pump in a 1880 Victorian home with only modest insulation.

It’s so wild, there is a PHYSICAL LAW that limits the efficiency of combustion engines. It’s called Carnot efficiency and there’s not even a theoretical way around it.
No engineer can build a combustion engine >60 % efficiency. Electric motors >90 % EXIST.

![“There’s a lot of value in bringing in tech talent,” Donald Moynihan, a professor of public policy at the University of Michigan, told Nextgov/FCW. “That said, part of the reason why there’s a need for tech talent in government right now is because [Department of Government Efficiency] drove out some very talented individuals who were already in government.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2rrp7amblhg3xoly5n5huiqv/bafkreig6nmddob7x5fkbufgwjgdzttcfhjzxihrnndmnajy234b6bpk4py@jpeg)

Building inexpensive indoor air filters with Mar Vista High School students in Imperial Beach...filter efficiency is higher than ones that cost $800+. You spend 90% of your time indoors...we all deserve clean air!! @scrippsocean.bsky.social @ucsandiego.bsky.social Airborne Institute.

First they cut arts in schools to make way for standards and efficiency. And now we hear we need machines to come up with new ideas for us because we can’t do it.
Just say No to these people. It’s dangerous nonsense. And should be disregarded and treated only with scorn.

What sort of life do some of the generative AI advocates live, to believe that efficiency is what artists crave? Creating art isn't a box to be ticked off in minutes. It's the process. A living experience that breathes; joy and rage and everything in between. It's not efficient. It's human.
