“This is the new model,”
the secretary of commerce, Howard Lutnick, said in an interview with CNBC last month,
“where you work in these kind of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here.”
The reality is that this particular campaign
— this effort to de-skill the working population of the United States
— is more likely to immiserate the country and impoverish its residents than it is to inaugurate a golden age of prosp…

A note on Automatic Baire property
Automatic Baire property is a variant of the usual Baire property which is fulfilled for subsets of the Cantor space accepted by finite automata. We consider the family $\mathcal{A}$ of subsets of the Cantor space having the Automatic Baire property. In particular we show that not all finite subsets have the Automatic Baire property, and that already a slight increase of the computational power of the accepting device may lead beyond the class $\mathcal{A}$.

Experimental demonstration of electric power generation from Earth's rotation through its own magnetic field
Earth rotates through the axisymmetric part of its own magnetic field, but a simple proof shows that it is impossible to use this to generate electricity in a conductor rotating with Earth.However, we previously identified implicit assumptions underlying this proof and showed theoretically that these could be violated and the proof circumvented. This requires using a soft magnetic material with a topology satisfying a particular mathematical condition and a composition and scale favoring magnet…

Four months ago I predicted the obvious, that the damage this time would be far worse with all guardrails gone. The pace of damage has exceeded my expectations. In particular, I did not see the second malignant narcissist, Musk, having so much power. Not clear how that’s going to turn out but he’s been an accelerant to the damage.
It’s going to get worse from here.
