They say don't meet your heroes, but when your hero is astronaut Story Musgrave, the man who repaired the Hubble Telescope, a surgeon in his spare time, and the holder of seven degrees, you have to meet him. He was really friendly and talkative.

Contrary to this post - Data centres in the UK are actually so obvious because 100% of the capacity will directly benefit people in the UK!
Because even in 2030 projections we’re massively *under* building relative to our usage requirements* - all data centre capacity in the UK is going to be used directly to serve only the most important use cases for the British people (think public service, NHS, regulated industries)
This is not talked about enough in the data centre discourse in Britain - we have a very different situation to our friends in the US
*all other capacity will be gotten from data centres abroad as it mainly is atm. Which is much cheaper and more abundant - so anyone who doesn’t need to UK data centres won’t.

Ron Baron asked Elon Musk how many CEOs live on site in an Airstream and work hands-on with everyone.
MUSK: “Airstreams are actually pretty nice... It’s parked right next to the power plant.”
“We built this power plant that’s producing over a gigawatt... in about a year, as opposed to normally about five years.”
“There is no upstairs.”
He walks the entire site up to five times a day. He’s pulled power cables “the size of an anaconda,” run fiber, wired switches, and worked on the power plant software.
“I try to do at least a little bit of everything, so that I’m not numb to the pain of the people who are actually doing it.”
“It’s not as though I’m sitting in an office and somebody has to come to me. I’m walking the floor, asking them questions actively.”
There’s a reason SpaceX is winning the compute race.

One of the things the US (& china) does better than everyone else is productively adopt new technologies.
British & European enterprises so bad at adopting new technologies because reward structures at work are too focused on downside mitigation rather than upside opportunities.
It’s why pretty much every British tech company has the US as its primary market.

starting to feel like a real spaceship
how it works:
- flies like a plane without wings
- electric fans blow high-speed air over a curved body for coanda lift
- perfectly locked in hover with zero forward speed
- thrust vectoring across the edfs for omnidirectional control
all running on just 3 batteries
next version gets the full-scale wings

Him doing the fibre optic cabling:
Elon Musk in new interview on @spacexai's data center site in Memphis:
"I insist on doing some of the work myself manually. I've pulled power cables the size of an anaconda. I've done the fiber optic cabling; I try to do at least a little bit of everything so I'm not numb to the pain of the people who are actually doing it. It's not as though I'm sitting in an office and someone has to come to me. I'm walking the floor asking them questions actively."

SpaceX will attempt to catch both the Super Heavy booster and Starship on the upcoming flight.
If both are successful, it will mark the first time that all parts of an orbital rocket return to Earth intact.
This is the critical breakthrough needed to make life multiplanetary.
More than a dozen flight tests and years of development, with countless hours worked by SpaceX engineers and technicians, all come down to this: the first orbital Starship launch carrying advanced Starlink satellites bound for space.
Watch “Go For Orbit” and experience the moments behind flying the most ambitious Starship mission yet

AI will be the first tech capex boom that Britain misses out on in the modern era

MMX was great thing at the time, and SSE and AVX later on was even better.
Microsoft should have spend a lot more effort making its software faster, smaller and more reliable.
