Reposting the 10+ year permitting process for an interregional transmission line below. It's about a lot more than just the environmental review. The grid solutions we need will require rethinking over a century of transmission policy.

SANTA FE INSTITUTE POSTDOC CALL Oct 13 Emergence, new theories of computation, physics of information, scaling + micro-macro, collective intelligence, AI+AGI, robustness, evolvability, causality, consciousness. . . there is no better place to do a postdoc then @sfiscience. I did my postdoc at SFI years ago. To have had it as an option was life changing from an intellectual standpoint. If you like to collaborate, have a complex systems research vision + want a postdoc that is basically a junior faculty position, please apply. apply-sfi.smapply.org/prog/c…

I just don't understand this narrative. The difference in homeownership between the generations is VERY small, and can probably be completely explained by Millennials staying in school a little longer.

With @DARPA and industry partners, we're building the first nuclear-powered rocket to fly in space! As soon as 2027, the Demonstration Rocket for Agile Cislunar Operations program will test this key tech for transporting future crewed missions to Mars: go.nasa.gov/3OvFAhS

Replying to @Crutchfield
@Crutchfield I've just spent 15 minutes trying to order something online with you, without success. The checkout process complains about my phone number, and when I try to save an address in my account I can't submit. This is in Firefox. I will now order with best buy instead.

A lack of patience changes the outcome. The best things compound small gains over time. The longer the time horizon, the larger the success. 99% of Warren Buffett's net worth accumulated AFTER he turned 50. The most overlooked strategy for success is patience.

Factuality in long-form generation is hard to evaluate because (1) we don't know how to assign an accuracy value when a generation has mixed pieces of true/false info, and (2) human evaluation is extremely costly. But from now on, you can use FActScore! tinyurl.com/FActScore
