hank, great to see you back. according to folks, you shouldn’t use LLMs because your net worth is $12 million. maybe if it was $10 million or less this wouldn’t have been an issue. Great to see a clear policy and I hope more folks adopt this. #pushback

I'm building a product and I'm at the point where it's the last huge unknown piece I'm about to test for the first time. It'll need a bunch of rework but... There is an end in sight to this first version. That will be a releasable no.1 milestone.

Replace your gas stoves with electric, preferably induction. The Trump regime canceled an $18 million EPA grant to study replacing gas stoves in 1,200 homes of asthma sufferers. Researchers published results from 85 homes, showing significant asthma relief and health impacts of gas stoves.

The EPA halted a study on gas stoves and asthma. But even partial results were striking.

Research that used a federal grant to pay for asthma patients to have their gas stoves replaced showed a dramatic fall in asthma attacks. The program was cut short after President Donald Trump took of...

I don’t have a horse in the race but the amount of joy-hating sounds more like folks justifying their own existence. I don’t know if sugar or grafting caused or contributed to his circumstances. I would love to hear a more nuanced discussion about it.

Apple presenting a way to run your own LLM at scale is quite impressive. LLMs I think will eventually migrate towards a solar model, one where each person or small group of people share an LLM cluster. m.youtube.com/watch?v=wykP...

Efficiency trap. The goal should never be efficiency alone, but a side-effect of a larger system objective. This is why the Prius failed And I think set the wrong mindset for innovation and progress.

People still talk about energy storage as the missing piece that will eventually make renewables work. In Arizona, it's already >20% of total capacity and still climbing. At some point "the future" becomes "this year's data."

The real insanity isn’t how much oil prices have spiked, it’s that we’re still burning oil for energy.

Price of Crude Oil WTI (USD/Bbl) over a five-year period, spanning from 2021 to early 2026. The chart shows a significant price peak in 2022 reaching over $120, followed by a general downward trend with various fluctuations, eventually hitting a low near $55 in late 2025 before a sharp vertical spike to the current price of 90.900. This recent surge represents an increase of +23.880 (+35.63%), highlighted in green text above the blue line graph.
