“AC this, wash dryer that, US woohoo, EU boohoo” - Why are we eating this brand-warfare from the outside about us up? Europe has the strongest precision manufacturing in the world, we have leading teams in AI, CV, robotics. Europe is a leader in Automation and Frontier Tech! Not a single NVIDIA chip could be produced without European machines. Not a single American cloud, robotics, or deep-tech firm would operate without European manufacturing or suppliers. But we are too humble. Brainwashed to never celebrate Europe. By outsiders and our local politicians. Time for a change. Europe is the birthplace of industrialization. The home of frontier tech. Time, we act like it. Welcome to the real Europe! 🔥🇪🇺

At the beginning of your career, you only want to code code code code. Then, the more you code, the more you dream of that farm.

finally some good news
BREAKING NEWS: This is an announcement that has been decades in the making.   On December 5, 2022 a team from DOE's @Livermore_Lab made history by achieving fusion ignition.   This breakthrough will change the future of clean power and America’s national defense forever.

I had aluminum foil left over from a build -- it was an industrial roll! -- so I spent a half-day hammering it into a ball because ... well, just because. Watch: youtu.be/q_YZX1SgZ5Y

It was dawn when the first shots rang out. Out of nowhere @jack, the web2 necromancer, had assassinated @balajis, web3’s foremost ambassador. Word spread quickly; battle lines were drawn. Civil war had come to the tech landscape. nitter.gq/jack/status/1473139010…
You don’t own “web3.” The VCs and their LPs do. It will never escape their incentives. It’s ultimately a centralized entity with a different label. Know what you’re getting into…
