1/ For years since the inception of Armada we’ve deployed modular data centers all over the planet. Now with NVIDIA and Johnson Controls we’re taking this to an entirely different level of speed, scale and sovereignty.

For me, Choral Evensong is one of the crowning inventions of the Anglican Church, and one of the best free musical experiences to be had in this country. JR telegraph.co.uk/radio/what-t…

Looks like @VivekGRamaswamy is behind the new Atlas Atomics. Still not much new information besides some of the staff and backers. Company is pushing a heavy water design like the CANDU fleet up north. The design has its advantages, specifically the lack of need for enriched uranium, as it can run on natural amounts of U-235 straight out of the ground. Only requires 0.7% compared to light water reactors that require 3-5%. Also doesn't require a large forged pressure hull, can be refueled while still operating, and can more easily produce special isotopes, including Co-60. But it does require heavy water (D2O), which is extremely expensive compared to light water. There are no commercial heavy water production facilities in the US yet. There's also no domestic supply chain for fabricating the unique fuel bundles for the reactor, similar to the roadblocks for reactors that require TRISO or metallic fuel. More upfront construction costs for building the fabrication facilities, and more learning to do. Atlas is going to be a direct competitor to Canada's AtkinsRealis, which recently decided to start making headway on bringing the CANDU to America.

Going from a Papal visit with millions in attendance to mass riots and violence is about as French as it gets.
France is in utter chaos

Congrats scammers, you have just been given the nuclear launch codes. Happy hunting!
The whole point of building Tavus has been simple: talking to a machine should feel as natural as talking to a friend or coworker. It’s hard to describe all the tiny nuances that make a conversation feel human. The little expressions. Moving around in your chair. Knowing when to speak and when to listen. The dance of it all. Griffin is by far the closest anyone has come to a model that can capture those nuances. The first time I saw it being used, I had no idea I was watching our model rather than just a normal video call. I’m so incredibly proud of this team and what they’ve built.

BREAKING: Palantir is taking sovereign AI off-grid. Armada has secured a deal to become @PalantirTech inaugural Certified Modular Data Center Partner, enabling its AI stack to run on-grid, off-grid, and fully air-gapped. @armada_ai has already deployed its modular data centers on a U.S. Navy warship, for offshore drilling operations, and across remote operations in Alaska.

people from "the south" are looking at the interviews of the pro-data center party and have an allergic reaction. had a friend send in a gm and say "blake were you there?" they should try to delete the clips immediately. they don't shed a positive light.
one of the strange parts of the south being the only place in america with a surviving culture and positive growth rates means the tech-right have now adopted a weird SEC-culture larp the pro-data-center party kicked out the ole miss crowd from pubkey. good metaphor

Total cultural victory. Man has yet to create an ideology that can compete with short form video-based social media scrolling.

The world is going to be alright, guys. Keep having kids, loving your family, and starting and building businesses and institutions. Don’t live in fear. Leaders have big responsibilities and challenges ahead, but it doesn’t help to scare everyone. We are on top of it.
