@flacqua The hard part isn't forecasting tech—it's forecasting which tech actually matters. A decade ago we'd have bet the farm on things that are now worthless. Energy infra built for 2026 tech will probably be oversized for 2036's needs anyway

@flacqua Interesting….Ai compute matching energy infrastructure is a numbing question

TradersPro4 months ago

@flacqua The internet barely looked investable to most people in the 90s and now entire economies run on it, so projecting straight lines 20 years out gets dangerous fast.

@flacqua Excellent and well said. This is infrastructure it’s not like making an Ap, making a laptop or selling software. #Infrastructure see

Had the privilege of visiting the headquarters of Baidu, a remarkable center of innovation and technological leadership. The organization’s culture reflects a clear vision for the future, supported by exceptional talent, ambitious thinking, and a relentless focus on advancing the frontiers of technology. It was particularly insightful to engage with teams driving transformative initiatives across multiple domains and to gain a deeper understanding of how innovation is translated into real-world impact at scale. Experiencing a ride in an autonomous vehicle was especially compelling, providing a firsthand perspective on the maturity of the technology and its potential to redefine mobility in the years ahead. Grateful for the opportunity to learn from one of the world’s leading technology companies and to witness the innovation shaping the future of the digital economy. #Baidu #Innovation #FutureTech #Technology #DigitalTransformation #AutonomousDriving

SLOVAKIA WILL NOT BE BLACKMAILED THROUGH ENERGY In light of the current events in the Middle East, it should now be clear to everyone that the struggle of the Slovak government to secure safe supplies of oil and gas is the main task of the day. It is also clearer than ever that the future of Slovakia’s energy sector must be closely linked to the development of nuclear energy, in which Slovakia ranks among the most significant players. I am proud that Slovaks were able to clearly see into the future and did not succumb to pressure to phase out nuclear energy. On the contrary, we rejected utopian ideas and worked on further projects. We are not resting on our laurels and we are moving forward. Only in this way can we secure Slovakia’s strategic needs for the coming decades.

There should be no room for error at Old Trafford when Man city press. These are the situations United live for, and we've seen that in this fixture over the years. If Maresca intends to go M2M, it can be very risky with this XI. Software: Once Sport

"Twenty years ago I was involved in an exercise to go into Iran — to attack a hardened, deeply buried target and take possession of nuclear material. The lesson learned was: don't do it. Too costly. Too risky." Former CIA officer Larry Johnson on our stream, connecting that 20-year-old war game to the downed F-15E, and questioning how the US expected to get its pilots out of Iran alive.
