Sunday Supplement: It's Musk's Future, but We'll Live in It (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You know, I regularly think that maybe Elon Musk is actually just a science-fiction fan who got angry that NASA wasn't moving fast enough, and so determined to make Robert Heinlein's world happen. I mean, seriously he even named his AI "Grok." (It was obviously that or "MYCROFT," right?) This week there have been a lot of interesting Musk-related stories. First, there's the marvelously-named Boring Company, which is cutting the cost of tunneling dramatically, with a 5-10 year goal that's even gr
Siege: Nothing Happens Until It All Happens (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On August 24, I wrote on Siege Warfare in the Modern Middle East, followed on September 2 by The Siege Is On. All That's Left Is the Waiting. Both were followed by the usual people protesting "We want big explosions NAOW" and "finish the job!" and while I sympathize, that's not how sieges work. What sieges do is make the besieged power suffer as their materiel slowly dries up, their people become more and more dissatisfied, and their government becomes more and more desperate. Modern sieges diff
Summer Supplement: The Seasons, and Little Red Dots (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Did you know we actually have eight seasons? Meteorology says we have the usual four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, winter — but they start on the first of the month. Spring is March through May; summer, June through August; autumn, September through November; and winter gets the rest, December through February. Astronomy says instead that spring starts at the vernal equinox, which comes next year on March 20, 2027 (my sister's birthday, coincidentally), Summer at the summer solstice, next yea
Populism vs. the State (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It's easy — too easy — to get caught up in the day's kerfuffle and lose track of the big picture. On Sunday, September 6, the AfD — Germany's populist party — won a resounding victory in the state of Saxony-Anhalt. AfD's candidates took 38 of 41 direct districts; the CDU took none. (German voters cast two votes. The second vote still parked 15 CDU members in the chamber.) AfD holds 39 of 83 seats, three short of running the state alone.

Data Center Joe Friday: Just the Facts (Part One) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week's political scrimmage has been all about data centers. Or maybe I should write that DATA CENTERS. As seems to often happen, very little of the scrimmage on either side is well informed. So, let's get our facts in order. The first one, of course, is to ask "what is a data center?" One of the great confusions is that there are lots of different kinds of data centers. Generically, a data center is just a big building full of computers. Most of them either look like big office buildings or
