There is an unexpected pleasure, at this stage of my life, in being on the front page of my country's main financial journal NOT because of my philosophy work, but because of my engineering/entrepreneurship output, my early loves. A long life arch is closing by returning to its origins...

We did it, and it was a blast! Our invitation-only 2025 conference may have been a seminal moment, a first step on the road to science's first predictive theory of the noumena. Thanks everyone for participating and contributing so much! #EssentiaFoundation #engelberg #engelbergswitzerland

Now let me turn around my messaging: the best way to stop the fascists is for the non-fascists in power to be competent. If non-fascists screw up, there's no stopping populist fascism. The latter won't make anyone's life better, but will ruin everything before the people realise their mistake.

Last time, when tens of millions were killed or murdered and the world was left in ruins, history recorded those who had a public platform and nonetheless opted to remain silent in face of the rise of fascism. This time it won't be any different. Let the record show I haven't remained silent.

A youth dream come true. I was finishing high-school when this came out, but the price was way above my most daring dreams of consumption. This machine was a market flop, but a triumph of pure design and computer engineering.

Empty space, it doesn't matter how much, means just that: empty space.

And we're on! Our VP of Products, Ingolf Held, is on stage unveiling Craftwerk™, the most efficient AI silicon system ever created, at the AI Infra Summit in Santa Clara, California. More details in our press release: euclyd.ai/euclyd-unvei... #Euclyd #AI

Euclyd, my AI company, has just come out of stealth mode. We're doing AI responsibly, for people and environment alike. Our upcoming CWS12 server rack will do the job of over 100 NVIDIA Blackwell racks (!), for less power consumption than a single NVIDIA rack.

(1 of 3) I had ChatGPT o3 analyse an old analog TV schematic with me, and am floored by the depth of its grasp of how it works based purely on a graphical representation of the circuit. I repeatedly asked it tricky questions, based on the subtle distinction between AC ground and chassis ground, ...
