People like to say science. Let's talk about engineering.

A complex system using chemical signals with precision timing requirements cannot and will not produce exactly 2 outcomes. The blue prints are literally torn in half, swapped with a different set, and glued together again.

If Iran has stopped attacking USA bases close to Iran because of collateral damage then where will they begin to strike?

This war is coming to a shopping mall near you.

Yes, this is what you voted for. You knew he was a rapist. You knew he was a criminal. You knew he was a liar. You knew he wanted to be a dictator. This is what you voted for.

You thought he was lying about that but not this? You voted for him because he is a liar? That is worse.

Malignant narcissism is a severe, unofficial subtype of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) combining extreme self-importance with antisocial behavior, sadism, and paranoia. These individuals crave power, lack empathy, and actively enjoy humiliating others.

What Anthropic will not allow their AI to do:

1. Surveillance of all US Citizens.
2. Kill people.

Anthropic is being punished by the Department of Defence for these rules.

It isn't very hard, we did that with Nixon. The difference between now and then is money, lots of it.

Clean coal surfaced again.

Obama invested $4.8 billion into clean coal.
Trump 45 invested $3 billion.
Biden invested $12.1 billion.
Trump 47 invested $0.

Trump has spent $100 million on dirty coal and moved $525 million of Biden's clean coal money to dirty coal. For that Trump gets a trophy.

Another great show from @codejoyedu.bsky.social. The robots are doing Romeo and Juliet! Help them make it better!

Thanks to CodeJoy for making these so good. There are plenty of shows this month with open spots.

I have a new 2 week curriculum line following race.

MakeCode: docs.google.com/presentation...

microPython: docs.google.com/presentation...

I use the Maqueen Plus V2, but you could use @elecfreaks.bsky.social Cutebot Pro. I teach PID so use a robot with greyscale IR sensors.

I watched the Robot Memories show from @codejoyedu.bsky.social. Another excellent show. This one in particular has lots of student involvement and a good story line. And I am not just saying that because I went to school with Grampa Walter.

When Trump hears a gay anthem his fingers curl and his elbows move. He can't help himself.
