Sure, hydroelectric and gas turbines have rotational inertia and solar panels don’t.
How big would a dedicated spinning flywheel generator have to be to provide the inertia needed to prevent the type of blackout seen recently in Spain’s electrical grid?
This is a good analogy for AI. But it also describes humans.
We learn from those we meet, by the way their faces look and the questions they ask.
We grow by meeting these strangers & sometimes we mimic them, deliberately or not.
We are monsters in the forest, hungry for conversation and learning.
The moral arc of the universe may bend toward justice. But the radius of the arc is astronomically large.

I miss teaching physics
Pope Francis reminded the world that Jesus spoke for mercy while many modern Christian leaders call for cruelty
And Francis evoked the Church’s neglected tradition of science. His speeches on the harm done by climate change show data analysis as well as moral clarity.
May his memory be a blessing
I remember working tech support :)
Congrats to the fine people of the Badger state for handing Elon Musk his own ass on a platter

You can be stressed out about it, but don’t have a Corollary.
I saw this cool-looking plant growing in my backyard, and the three-fold symmetry is intriguing. I think it’s a red trillium?
A screenshot of a post on X by evan loves worf (@esjesjesj ): "He might actually be the most anti free speech person in history." Below, a post by Thomas Hern (@ThomasMHern , 1d ago) reads: "Jamaal Bowman just called Elon Musk an 'incompetent thief' and 'Nazi' on CNN. A lawsuit waiting to happen." The post includes a CNN broadcast image showing two men in suits, with a chyron that reads: "UNDER FIRE: ANGER INTENSIFIES AT TOWN HALLS ACROSS NATION OVER CUTS," and a ticker below stating: "JAMAAL BOWMAN (D) FORMER U.S. CONGRESSMAN, NEW YORK." The CNN logo is in the bottom right corner. Below that, a reply by Elon Musk (@elonmusk , 9m ago) says: "I’ve had enough. Lawsuit inbound."
Wait until Musk learns about the rigorous standards for defamation of public figures under New York Times v. Sullivan.
I should look to see whether there were similar memes at the last turn of the century. Darn flappers.
