Remember C&C Red Alert Prism Towers? What if we could make those sumbitches fly through the sky? "Generating a laser beam [sufficient to cut through metal] with a long kill distance typically requires bulky equipment the size of a truck. A small platform, similar to a consumer drone, could never carry such a high-powered laser weapon and its accompanying energy supply equipment. Li and his colleagues invented a small and lightweight redirecting device that allows drones equipped with it to receive powerful beams from the ground and reflect them onto enemy targets."

This is pretty cool news that hits close to home as Switch is headquartered here in Vegas. "Nuclear startup Oklo aims to deploy 12 gigawatts of power over the next two decades through a framework agreement with data center operator Switch, the companies announced Wednesday. Oklo would deploy what amounts to a fleet of small nuclear reactors through 2044, with power generation equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of more than 9 million households in the U.S."

So @jack mentioned building a Nostr client awhile back and then went silent. Do we think he is in the lab or was that just a throwaway note? #asknostr

From the "I'm sure the drones were coincidental" files: "The Defense Department on Wednesday announced a new office focused on accelerating and adopting artificial intelligence (AI) technology for the military as it aims to deploy autonomous weapons in the near future. The Artificial Intelligence Rapid Capabilities Cell (AI RCC) will aim to install AI tech into systems for the military, focusing on emerging technologies like generative AI." https://thehill.com/policy/defense/5034805-artificial-intelligence-military #technology #ai #artificialintelligence

Okay, finally set up Alby Hub. I had changed my lighting address on my Nostr profile like a month ago now to Speed but my legacy Alby wallet was still getting zaps from Nostr. Very odd... but in any event, someone respond to this so I can test zap to make sure the hub is working.

This is some very important news. Russia has been our major supplier accounting for over a quarter of our uranium imports. Outside of them, we get most of the rest from European nations. “These contracts generated from this action will help spur the safe and responsible build-out of uranium enrichment capacity in the United States,” said Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy Dr. Michael Goff. “We must increase our capacity to produce enriched uranium domestically to support the energy security and resilience of the Nation.”

So if your employer wants to eliminate the term whitelist/blacklist because it is inappropriate or insensitive, do you think they should have pitched a fit when you said shortlist should also be added? Asking for a friend.

There is a lot of interesting mental gymnastics going on by Bitcoiners with regards to the Microsoft vote. First, the vote was to study Bitcoin, not to add it to their balance sheet. Second, they already had Saylor in so it would actually be wasteful of resources to spend money to study it when they already spoke to the guy that wrote the fucking corporate playbook. Finally, Mark Moss allegedly said they invited Saylor back for a longer discussion. If that is true is really the only thing that matters here and will ultimately determine if/when they join the fray.

I'm a little shocked about the lack of announcements coming out of Bitcoin MENA. It felt like they were ripe to front run the United States with a country or two announcing a Bitcoin Reserve strategy or something similar. Panels that I have been able to catch on the live stream have been pretty underwhelming too. Did anyone catch any that you think were really good? If so, which ones?
