New York and Chicago are two big hubs in the eastern US. Distance: 800 miles or 1300km roughly. Same as Delhi - Mumbai in India. There are 3 ways to travel. You can fly. You can drive. Or you can take a train. Fastest train is Amtrak lakeshore which takes ~19hrs. Driving takes 14hrs but you need to rest as well. I love trains. So I decided to take Amtrak. Their sleeper class. Took a roomette. First of all - American trains run on standard gauge. Which is smaller than Indian broad gauge. The compartments are smaller. And the trains are less comfortable. They shake way more. Second - Americans really don’t understand passenger trains. This train left late and then sat on a random station for 30mins. It’s already running late and usually reaches 2-3 even 5hrs delayed. And this is supposed to be a premium train. Culprit ? Freight. Americans don’t have dedicated fright tracks. The train btw is full. Which means people do want to travel on it. All sorts of people. Old, young. Business travellers. Only 2 coaches are sleeper - rest are coach (chaircars). Then the train reaches Albani and has to merge with another train from boston. Whole process takes 30-45mins. Can you believe a major train just sitting off a closed platform, cutting off its engines and adding more bogies in the middle of its journey in India ? The train had power supply for 30 mins cause it’s powered by diesel engines. Which are cut off. Diesel engine. Yes. The entire route except parts of NYC is non electric. It’s all old school diesel. It slowly chugs after and stops everywhere it can. Like an old Indian passenger train. The cabin is decent as it should be for a $700 price. The food is microwaved prepackaged stuff - ie very bad. There’s a coach attendant but he doesn’t care. I’ve travelled extensively in Rajdhani - and I can tell you it’s high luxury compared to this. And for 1/10th the price. The food, the cabin - all are superior. The reason I’m bringing this up is not to say Indians know it better. Not at all. But that even the most advanced cultures get it wrong. Even the most sorted out people - the one most advanced in tech - somehow don’t know how to run cross-country trains at scale. And this is not even a cross country trip. Hardly 1/4th of it. So what did they get wrong ? They stopped building. Upgrading. Improving. They do a few things right. Like making good highways. Take that learning. They do many things wrong. Like this train. They’ve stopped building. No dedicated freight tracks. No magnificent new stations. No high speed rail. The only lesson to learn is to not make that mistake. Build. And keep building. There’s no substitute to that. Keep building. Keep upgrading. Keep improving.

BREAKING: India’s fighter jet just crashed at the world’s biggest arms bazaar. Here’s why this matters more than you think. A HAL Tejas went down during a live demonstration at Dubai Airshow 2025. Pilot status unknown. Black smoke over the runway. Cameras captured everything. This is the second Tejas crash in 18 months. Why this changes everything: India has a 250-aircraft shortfall. Right now. The Indian Air Force operates 30 fighter squadrons when it needs 42 to secure a 2,100-mile contested border with China. China adds 50 new fighters every year. Pakistan just signed new fighter jet deals at this exact airshow, hours before the crash. The Tejas was supposed to solve this. India spent 40 years and $20 billion building an indigenous fighter to break free from foreign dependence. The plan: manufacture 400+ jets at $42 million each instead of buying French Rafales at $240 million or navigating American strings. Here’s the problem: Russia, India’s traditional supplier, is redirecting everything to Ukraine. Western options are expensive or politically complicated. Chinese jets are flooding markets across 53 countries. India’s defense strategy depends on producing affordable fighters at scale. The nation’s $450 billion infrastructure plan requires stable borders without draining foreign reserves. What just happened: The crash didn’t occur at a remote test site. It happened in front of every defense minister, military buyer, and analyst who matters. At the exact moment India needed to prove indigenous capability works. Pakistan’s delegation was literally in the next hangar closing export contracts for their Chinese co-developed fighters. This isn’t about one aircraft. It’s about whether a nation of 1.4 billion people can manufacture the hardware needed to defend itself, or whether it stays dependent on others during the most volatile geopolitical moment in decades. The strategic math just got brutally harder.

Since my account is somewhat anonymous I’m going to disclose where some of the California high-speed rail money gets wasted. 99% of you don’t realize where giant chunks of the money is disappearing to. The California high-speed rail authority, literally owns thousands of parcels of land that are in various stages continued litigation, tenant improvements, eviction, and constant maintenance. For example, there are many homes and apartment complexes in the plant path that have been purchased years ahead of construction. Removing those tenants is a slow and expensive process. (let’s ignore the extra stress on housing that all of these destroyed properties are causing) In some cases, these are low rent apartments with a lengthy eviction process During that process, the state of California is the landlord and has to maintain the property codes the same as any other landlord. This means repairs, adding smoke detectors, fixing roofs, vegetation management, landscaping, paying off tenants to leave early, boarding up Windows, constant trash cleanups, towing vehicles etc. But the High Speed Rail Authority doesn’t just have to maintain these properties at normal cost. Every single bit of that work has to be done at California prevailing wage rates. The work can only be done through qualified contractors that have passed through a long series of idiotic mazes to qualify to perform the work. An average rate per hour (charge rate) for a worker to perform any service on these properties is approximately $200 an hour for labor only. The cost go up for specialized work, like electricians, plumbers, or machine operators. Properties that are literally worthless are being maintained at huge expense just so the next round of homeless transients can break into the property and cause more damage. For reasons I can’t explain, the process to finally demo and remove the structures takes years. I’m only mentioning the tip of the iceberg regarding my firsthand knowledge. Completely separate from those outlandish costs are the inflation caused by the construction. The prevailing word on the street is that nothing is getting done. The truth is that a lot is getting done and none of it efficiently. The amount of concrete being poured daily and monthly to build gigantic overpasses for both the rail and roadways is not understood. In these work areas, every concrete mixing company is fully scheduled out and cannot offer building materials for other basic services such as building a house often times for weeks when the average lead time for many of these services used to be one day. And that’s just the schedule, never mind the huge cost increases from straining the supply chain and Labor pool. The amount of concrete and steel that has gone into the structures so far is massive. Dozens and dozens of new water wells have been dug just for dust control. Thousands upon thousands of acres of highly productive tree fruits and nuts have been torn up and shredded. Utility scale solar fields have been uprooted and sometimes relocated at extravagant costs. Every type of business you can imagine has gone through either a closure, relocation, or a long-term tenant agreement with the rail authority. In some cases, it’s just a buyout where the business closes its doors forever. The owners get something all of the workers get nothing. Don’t get me started on how thick the layers of bureaucracy are for these minute tasks that occur on all of these properties. The inefficiency is far beyond your wildest dreams. In many cases, this is not related to fraud in any way it’s just absolute ignorance, red tape, and failed leadership. I can go much deeper into specific examples, but I think that gives some of you an idea of what’s actually happening in California. If a rail is ever usable, some portions of the structures will be decades old and already in disrepair.

THE GLOBAL AVIATION MODEL JUST HIT A MISSILE Emirates suspended operations from Dubai. Etihad grounded flights from Abu Dhabi until at least March 4 according to FlightGlobal. Qatar Airways halted departures from Doha, holding cargo at hubs worldwide. PBS confirmed 2,280 flights cancelled. Fortune reported 90,000 passengers per day stranded across Gulf hubs. The Guardian counted 115,000 Australians alone affected. FreightWaves documented Qatar Airways holding 13 tons of daily cargo capacity at standstill. That was the first 72 hours. Trump told reporters the war will last approximately four to five weeks. Project the math. Ninety thousand stranded passengers per day across 35 days is 3.15 million passengers. Each requiring rebooking, accommodation, meals, and compensation under international air passenger rights. Emirates alone carried 43.6 million passengers in the twelve months before this war. Dubai International processed 92.3 million passengers in 2024, making it the busiest international airport on earth. Every single one of those routes now requires rerouting south over Saudi Arabia, adding 1 to 3 hours of flight time, burning thousands of additional gallons of jet fuel per departure, on routes that were priced for direct overfly. The fuel cost alone will restructure ticket pricing for every carrier touching the Gulf for the next quarter. But here is what the travel industry is not yet processing. The UAE intercepted 137 ballistic missiles and 209 drones according to the Hindustan Times. Breaking Defense reported 541 total drones launched at UAE territory, with 35 falling and causing material damage. Smoke was visible over Jebel Ali port on satellite imagery. The Burj Al Arab absorbed drone fragments. Iran hit Dubai’s most photographed landmark and the logistics port that handles 40% of UAE trade. Emirates, Etihad, and Qatar Airways are not ordinary airlines. These three carriers and their hub airports are the connective tissue of 21st-century global aviation. The entire long-haul routing model for East-West traffic, connecting Europe and the Americas to Asia, Africa, and Oceania, was built on a single premise: that the Persian Gulf is a permanently stable corridor. Over two decades, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha captured the global transit market by positioning themselves as the geographic midpoint between every major population center on earth. That geographic advantage just became a geographic liability. The midpoint between continents is also the midpoint of a war zone. Every code share agreement, every interline connection, every cargo forwarding contract written through Gulf hubs assumed zero probability of sustained airspace closure from military conflict. Insurers at Lloyd’s are recalculating war-risk premiums in real time. Cargo forwarders are scrambling to route through Istanbul, Singapore, and Addis Ababa. FreightWaves reported air freight rates already spiking before Monday markets open. Four to five weeks of closed or contested Gulf airspace does not create a disruption. It creates a structural rerouting of global aviation away from the Gulf model permanently. Airlines that spent 20 years building hub-and-spoke empires through Dubai and Doha just discovered the spoke runs through a missile corridor. The world built global connectivity through a war zone. The war just arrived.

A machine like this can cost $500,000 to well over $1 million to make parts that may be worth only $10-15 This is the real manufacturing story. This INDEX six-spindle automatic carries 6 motorised spindles, up to 12 CNC tool carriers, operates at 8,000+ rpm, and weighs 7.2 tonnes. Different operations happen simultaneously as the spindle drum indexes each workpiece from station to station. A real scale production example produced a precision component in 11 seconds, versus 38 seconds on a conventional single-spindle lathe. That's roughly 327 parts per hour before downtime. But the machine is only the hardware. Tool geometry, CNC programs, cutting parameters, spindle synchronisation, tooling, bar feeding, chip evacuation, coolant, inspection and collision checked simulation all have to be engineered around the exact part. That is what it takes to integrate this machine into a factory workflow. This accumulated capability is what kept Germany and Japan at the pinnacle of machine-tool manufacturing for decades almost unchallenged. The advantage wasn't just building the hardware, but knowing how to program, tool and integrate these machines for thousands of different manufacturing requirements globally. China has now built much of that ecosystem at extraordinary scale, machines, controls, tooling, software, automation and integration. Its huge domestic manufacturing base has accelerated that learning curve dramatically. Today, Chinese manufacturers can increasingly offer sophisticated CNC and multi-spindle systems at 30-40% lower total costs in most applications, putting serious and relentless price pressure on German and Japanese builders. China produced 37% of the world's machine tools in 2025, compared with 12% for Germany and 10% for Japan. These are the machines that make the machines and ultimately determine how much an economy can manufacture. China is the biggest player as of now and growing faster than anyone else in manufacturing high-end machining tools. Source, Daniel Jansson

🚨 SOMETHING VERY BAD IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!! US–IRAN negotiations have reached a DEAD END. BOTH SIDES ARE RUNNING OUT OF PATIENCE. And the rhetoric is already escalating. Insiders are increasingly talking about upcoming attacks on the US. The IEA has already called this the largest supply disruption in history. The Strait of Hormuz is the artery through which 20% of the world’s oil flows, along with massive volumes of LNG. Right now, traffic there is nearly at zero due to the blockade. As soon as Trump announced the breakdown of negotiations, Brent oil will immediately jump to the $100–110 level. If you hold any assets: - Stocks - Crypto - Bonds - Or even the dollar You MUST read this post before it's too late. Here's what's happening right now: Goldman Sachs is calling for an oil spike to $120–140 if missiles hit Iranian refineries and pipelines. This would trigger an automatic surge in gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel prices worldwide. Logistics will freeze. INFLATION WILL SPIKE. The global economy just started recovering, and now this “gift”. The ECB has already warned that a prolonged conflict will trigger stagflation (when prices rise and the economy falls). This is the worst-case scenario for stock markets. Rising energy prices will add at least 0.8–1% to global inflation, forcing the FED and other central banks to hike rates again. Goodbye cheap credit and stock growth. The bond market is already seeing massive sell-offs. Yields are rising. Panic in Asia: China, India, Japan, and South Korea take 75% of their oil from the Gulf. This is a DIRECT BODY BLOW to their economies. Asian indices are already shaking. Money will flow into gold and the dollar. Crypto could drop up to 20% IN A MATTER OF DAYS If attacks resume, we could see a GLOBAL RED MONDAY. Due to the blockade, QatarEnergy was forced to declare force majeure on LNG exports. This means gas prices in Europe and Asia could skyrocket. If Trump decides to “hammer Iran into the stone age,” he might hammer global markets along with it. Global markets are waiting for one thing: - will his finger slip on the “Attack” button? - or will Tehran present an offer Trump can’t refuse? This sounds SCARY, but I will keep you updated on everything here. When I rotate money, I will post my moves here so my FOLLOWERS can SAVE their money. Follow me and turn NOTIFICATIONS ON, as I will share my strategy soon. Many will regret not following me earlier...

🚨 WARNING: SOMETHING EXTREMELY BAD IS COMING!! The situation in the Middle East is entering a terminal stage. Trump has just returned from Beijing, where he met with Xi Jinping. Official statements sound like an ultimatum. And it smells like the beginning of a MASSIVE APOCALYPSE for the world economy. If Iran does not agree to Washington’s terms on the nuclear program. The US may launch a new wave of MASSIVE ATTACKS. If you hold any assets: - Stocks - Crypto - Bonds - US Dollar You MUST read this post before it's too late: Trump directly stated that Xi Jinping is fully aligned with the US. On the fact that “Iran MUST NOT possess nuclear weapons”. And that the Strait of Hormuz must remain open at any cost. China is the largest buyer of Iranian oil. Trump has already promised to consider lifting sanctions on Chinese oil companies in exchange for Beijing abandoning Tehran. Iran is effectively being left isolated by the superpowers. Either capitulation or total war. Judging by the rhetoric of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, they are not planning to surrender. And Trump has already threatened to resume missile strikes. Markets are already pricing in the worst-case scenario. If Trump pulls the trigger, we are facing the BIGGEST SHOCK in history The Strait of Hormuz is blocked. Minus 20% of global oil and a massive share of liquefied natural gas (LNG) simply cut off from the world. Iranian missiles have already damaged Qatar’s infrastructure (minus 17% of gas export capacity). Brent already pushed through $110-$120 per barrel, analysts predict a spike to $160 JUST IMAGINE. 160 PER BARREL OF OIL At the beginning of the year everyone expected rate cuts and a rally. Forget it - annual inflation in the US driven by gasoline and logistics prices has already surged to the highest levels since 2023 (3.8%). The new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh is trapped in a vice. The probability that rates will not be cut at all in 2026 has jumped to 67%. Money will remain expensive, loans unaffordable. High rates + extreme energy prices = death of corporate margins. Tech giants (Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft), tied to global supply chains, will crash first because of shortages and rising logistics costs. $BTC and $ETH, which Trump promised to “make great”, are the first to react to liquidity outflows. When institutions get margin called on stocks because of war, they dump the most volatile assets first. Crypto is facing a brutal BLOODBATH. We are now standing on the edge of a HISTORIC COLLAPSE This sounds SCARY, but I will keep you updated on everything here. When I rotate money, I will post my moves here so my FOLLOWERS can SAVE their money. Follow me and turn NOTIFICATIONS ON as I will share my strategy soon. Many will regret not following me earlier...

JUST IN: Iran gave Russia its Shahed drones. Russia improved them in Ukraine. Now Western intelligence says Russia is shipping the upgraded versions back to Iran. And the country that learned how to kill those drones on the battlefield just sent 228 experts to the Gulf to teach five countries how to do the same thing. The full circle is extraordinary. Iran supplied thousands of Shahed-136 kamikaze drones to Russia starting in 2022 for use against Ukraine. Russia rebranded them Geran-2 and, over three years of combat, upgraded the navigation systems, added anti-jamming capabilities, improved the engines, and refined the payload delivery. The Financial Times and AP reported on March 26 citing Western intelligence that Russia is now in the final stages of shipping those upgraded Geran-2 drones back to Iran’s IRGC, along with medicine and food supplies. Kremlin spokesman Peskov called the reports “lies” and “fake news dumps.” Meanwhile, Zelensky arrived in Saudi Arabia on March 26 for an unannounced visit, met Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, signed a defense cooperation deal focused on air defense and drone expertise, and departed Jeddah on March 28. Ukraine has deployed 201 to 228 military drone specialists to five Gulf and Middle Eastern countries: the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Jordan. Another 34 are ready per Zelensky’s statement on March 17. These specialists are not there as a symbolic gesture. They bring the single most effective counter to Shahed drones that exists anywhere on earth. Ukraine developed FPV interceptor drones that account for roughly 70 percent of all Shahed and Geran-2 shootdowns in Ukraine per Forces News and Atlantic Council reporting. The method: radar and acoustic sensors detect the incoming drone at 20 to 50 kilometres. A cheap, fast quadcopter or fixed-wing interceptor launches from a mobile platform. An operator pilots it at high speed toward the target. It destroys the Shahed through kamikaze collision or a small explosive payload on impact. Cost per intercept: a fraction of what a surface-to-air missile costs. Militarnyi reported on March 22 that Ukrainian teams have already confirmed multiple Shahed shootdowns in the Middle East. The arms race running through this war is now a closed loop. Iran builds the drone. Russia tests it, improves it, and allegedly sends the improved version back. Ukraine learns to kill it through three years of battlefield iteration. Ukraine exports that knowledge to the Gulf states Iran is attacking. The Gulf states pay Ukraine in money, technology, and diplomatic support. Russia denies everything while the drones fly in both directions. This is not a bilateral conflict. It is a global drone ecosystem where every improvement by one side is studied, countered, and re-exported by the other. The Shahed that hits a refinery in Bahrain tonight may carry Russian-upgraded navigation. The interceptor that destroys it may be piloted by a Ukrainian operator trained in Zaporizhzhia. The defense deal that funded the deployment was signed in Jeddah while the war it was designed to address raged 1,500 kilometres to the northeast. SpaceX’s Starlink provides the communications backbone for these teams in contested environments where terrestrial networks are degraded by the same war. The same helium shortage threatening semiconductor fabs and quantum computers is threatening the rocket launches that put Starlink satellites in orbit. The same strait carrying the oil carries the data cables that the drones are trying to protect. Every domain connects through the same 39 kilometres of water. Full analysis -

I've been editing this article about "brain mapping" and connectomics, and I'm just stunned by how quickly the cost estimates to map, say, a mouse brain have plummeted in just the last couple years. It actually seems feasible that we could map the entire human brain -- all 86 billion neurons, and their connections -- in this lifetime. In the 1970s, Sydney Brenner started mapping all the connections between neurons in C. elegans. His team sliced the worm into thin pieces, took photos using an electron microscope, and manually traced and reconstructed each synapse for 302 neurons total. This project took more than a decade of work, and it cost about $16,500 to reconstruct each neuron. Scaling this up to a human brain boggles the mind. Electron microscopy remained the norm in connectomics for decades, because it was the only option available to see synapses at a resolution high enough to be able to trace their paths. Each electron microscope costs several hundreds of thousands of dollars, though, and you need lots of them to map even a mouse brain in a reasonable timeframe. In 2023, the Wellcome Trust released a report estimating how long, and how expensive, it would be to map the mouse connectome (~70M neurons). They estimated that imaging alone would cost $200-300M, and that proofreading (or ensuring that traces between neurons are correct) would cost $7-21 BILLION. (A human can only manually trace about 1 mm of neuron per hour.) Also, the images would occupy about 500 petabytes of data, and getting those data would require 20 electron microscopes running in parallel for about 5 years, continuously. They estimated the whole project would take about 17 years of work. This is, understandably, insane. But now it seems like there's an actual path toward mapping the full mouse brain in about five years for ~$100M dollars. There have been three major breakthroughs in the last year or so: 1/ Expansion microscopy, first developed in 2015, showed that it's possible to "enlarge" the brain by about 5x using a swellable polymer. But an improved method increases this number to >20x expansion, meaning we can now expand brains and image neurons much more easily using cheap light microscopes, rather than expensive electron ones. 2/ E11 Bio (a nonprofit research org) developed protein barcodes that get delivered into brain tissue; each neuron gets a unique combination of barcodes. These cells are then stained with colorful antibodies, which stick to a matching protein barcode, causing each neuron to light up in a distinct color. This makes tracing neurons so much easier. 3/ Google Research released PATHFINDER this May, an AI-based neuron tracing tool that can proofread about 67,200 cubic microns of brain tissue per hour, with very high accuracy. It works on electron micrographs, but something similar could be presumably be developed for the E11 / colorful tag approach. This is an extremely exciting time for neuroscience.
