As an example (the only example they offer as it … Read more
AI hungry everything is driving good news on the energy front, but not good enough, or I should say, soon enough.

The … Read more

The steady march of technology has brought with it many blessings, from railroads to pocket calculators to pacemakers and solar-powered home heating systems.

Even the innovators of this technology, such as Elon … Read more

Yes, I know that is actually Grok drawing an assembled DNA strand and a “Stargate.” I tried and tried, but Grok just could not understand what mRNA structure looks like, and does not know the difference between DNA and mRNA.
