Nitinol (NiTi) Never heard of it? Ninitol the name of a Nickel-Titanium alloy in approx 50-50 composition. The world hardly uses any nitinol at all, because it’s kinda expensive, and it’s because of process chemistry, but it’s a super interesting engineering material with…

You speak too much, explain too much, reveal too much. Every word drains value. The disciplined version of you speaks only what serves. Then silence multiplies your presence, turning your restraint into mystery and your mystery into power others can’t ignore.

The bottleneck for deep skill isn't usually intelligence, but boredom tolerance. Learning has an activation energy: below a certain skill threshold, practice is tedious, but above it, it becomes a self-sustaining flow state. The entire battle is persisting until that transition.

Motherfuckers looking for the perfect shot instead of just learning how to shoot and shooting so often that taking some good shots is an inevitability, mathematical inevitability is what you need to work into your life. This is an idea I will stand by to the grave

Elon Musk describes first principles thinking as a superpower, and it truly is. Because most people never learn how to think — they just learn how to remember. They copy, they imitate, they accept. But when you break problems into their most fundamental truths, when you question…

BREAKING: Neuralink enabled a paralyzed ALS patient to control a robotic arm and feed himself using only his thoughts. What Neuralink is doing isn’t just innovation, it’s humanity redefining what’s possible.

This is not a joke. This is really possible. If you control wifi router and the receiver at the same time, you can catch some interference in between. If multiple receivers then resolution increases. AI or anyone can see behind the door between router and receiver (computer,…

We are doing it wrong..America added 56 GW all of last year, most from solar... China added 93 GW in a month. Just for comparison, the last American nuclear power plant was completed in 2024. It took 11 years to build and cost $35 billion to generate ~1 GW of power.

Amazing. China added 93GW of solar in May 2025 alone which is like 3 giant nuclear plants per day! ❤️☀️
