  • It has a lot of value.

    Firstly, we use lasers to measure chemical reactions, this one could increase resolution and potentially be used to trigger or shape the reaction.

    Secondly, it could be a path towards laser-induced fusion which is kind of important.

    Finally, modrrn chips are fabricated using something called an extreme-UV process, that uses sputtered tin hit with a multiple precision laser pulses. This could be used to refine that process further.







  • If there’s literally one place in America we need to throw money at, it’s the electrical grid.

    We have a decades out of date power infrastructure, Europe especially has us beat.

    Just like electrification originally, and later the internet, increasing power delivery will have benefits for everyone that pay off for centuries .

    Mostly we need to make the grid far smarter.

    Evs should be allowed to load coordinate with the grid, so they switch on at the optimum times for grid stability in exchange for major discounts on power.

    A superload like this one should have to request clearance, then the grid compensates by reducing ‘cheap ev power’ in the area, while also requesting evs configured for v2g to be ready to possibly supply.

    The supercharger has a slightly higher cost per kwh to make up for this, but that is the cost of convenience.




  • Rural island off the coast of a european country:

    10g fiber for $65/mo (I don’t even think they cared, I asked for more and I think they made up a number).

    House literally down the street from google in silicon valley:

    Comcrap $100 for shit cable, I’m paying $250 for actual upload speed.

    This country is ruled by the corrupt.
