But maybe they can get better at modeling them. Our lack of ability to model clouds to date is one of the things that makes me a skeptic on climate alarmism.

Space Settlements
…will require a new policy direction.
You don’t say. I’ll be speaking at Steve’s Space Settlement Forum next week about property rights.
Hopper Tests
Climate Millenarianism
Thoughts on people like Greta Thunberg, with some history.
AI
Can now generate talking video of people from a single image.
We’re rapidly approaching the time, if we’re not already there, when we can’t trust video.
Bargain Basement
For those who haven’t gotten one, and would like to, I’ve dropped the price on my book to $12.95.
Radical Green Ideology
It has taken over and corrupted professional engineering and science societies.
Sexbots
The technology continues to improve:
Realbotix has recently fitted its Harmony models with a new “vaginal sensor”. This enables the machine to respond to tempo and pressure before producing its own response. Brick previously told us: “Now they have developed a vaginal sensor for inserts they put in to the doll, the robotic body, and now as you thrust into the sensor when you’re having sex the sensor is a reactive strip, that sends the stimuli to the brain, to tell it how deep you’re going, how hard you’re going and how hard you’re thrusting. “Now you have all of that information coming into the AI and it’s calculating and responding appropriately.”
What could possibly go wrong with that?
Drivers’ Licenses
Should they even be issued by the states? I’d prefer they not, but they are a convenient form of ID.
Aging Brain Decline
Thwarting a protein reverses it in aged mice:
The team used two techniques to block VCAM1: One of them genetically deleted the protein from the mice’s brains. Another injected an antibody that binds to it to stop anything else attaching. Both methods prevented signs of brain aging in young mice infused with old plasma and reversed existing markers in elderly mice brains. The researchers then gave the mice learning and memory tests. In one, which involves remembering which of several holes is safe to drop through, treated elderly mice performed as well as youngsters once fully trained. “The aged mice looked like they were young again in terms of their ability to learn and remember,” Dubal says. “It’s remarkable.”
Faster, please.
