You wouldn't happen to be sharing this builds information publicly would you? I can fully respect however if you are not.

I am a staunch DIY serial entrepreneur techie that has used my grey goo to build and sell a few companies and my time now is spent similar to yours although using a different application of physics. I too am motivated, just as you are, in my efforts to apply what I know to further reduce my energy costs which will not stop rising for quite some time.

You really made my day with this post and I hope we can find more folks like ourselves from your share because in time 'dogfooding' new ideas at home will lead to new applicable discoveries for all.

Stay Healthy!

And your SIL would just be as likely excited too about a MOEN wifi connected voice controlled kitchen faucet. Ain't it cool!

She will not be as excited however when the water bill comes and cannot pin point where the additional water they claim to have not used has gone.

Then we move on to even more serious potential life changing appliances that are wifi connected of which your SIL would certainly just be as excited about. Wifi connected hot water tanks of which some here know how they work and what this remote ability allows. Ain't it cool!

She will not be as excited however when the medical bills come nor every single passing day when she sees the visible scars she must carry for the remainder of her living days for being 'cool' - ironic huh?

Reality hits hard as most humans are reactive and those that have been in this game for many decades grossly understand the dark side of insecurely connecting devices that have life changing implications. Medical devices companies have already shadowed their software mistakes yet such information only stays in the shadows for so long.

"What you cannot see matters most!" and many tech illiterates are currently learning this in most unfortunate ways. Some of that learning will scar both mentally and physically for life. Ain't it cool!

Many people here reading this are a lot smarter than I and such can therefore extrapolate and add to what is unfolding in the world. It shows little sign of stopping as more and more devices are connected daily under the guise of 'easy'.

Thus the underlying absolute reason to "Stay Healthy!"

I chaperoned a 7th grade field trip at the beginning of June 2026 and I have not been on a school bus for many years. As a serial technologist entrepreneur and technology platform creator this school bus was a mecca of tracking technology and I was taking photos from this limited time I was given riding in this mobile edge data collection vehicle which originally was only used to move kids to and from school. The bus had 11 cameras visible that I could see located on the inside and outside. Mounted on the ceiling above and to the left of the drivers head was a small locked mini rack that I assume was the consolidation point of all wires to a Digital Video Recorder. I could not determine, nor was informed, if this system is remotely accessible but it must be given the worlds appetite for "connected" which many believe means 'easy'.

I spoke to the bus driver and she informed me that she loves the cameras and that they have been used to suspend kids thus proving her innocents and have also been used by law enforcement 'looking' for things. She also told me of a unique case where a kid placed spikes under a bus tire and this kid got more than a suspension from his actions that the video recorded.

Interesting times where everything is being recorded however the context of a situation can obviously still be missing from any recorded evidence. Seems like everyone's privacy is just "flocked". ;)

I was out on my daily artifact walk when this was literally posted a few days ago and during that walk I found two broken slightly translucent quartz spear points. Since they were broken they did not make it into my display case next to the whole quartz points but they did make it into my broken relics buckets. Having located more than a thousand native artifacts in the last 14 years of walking I can personally confirm that holding such a visual object in one's own hand causes the mind the ponder and thoughts to roam as the light glistens back into ones eyes. These quartz points also stand alone in appearance next to all my other relics except for the uniques and the perfects.

From the comments too as well I will add that while I have no concrete proof what purpose they served, security or religion, they certainly could kill if used via an atlatl.

For those who are financially active controlling one's own investing outcome and you carry belief in the demand growth and need for this technique I have public information to share as it relates and supports this article.

A few months back Eaton, a global electrical equipment supplier, announced acquisition of a company doing exactly this "direct-to-chip cooling systems" using liquid. This is not investment advice but only information to consider for future choice that reinforces this article's claims. Many here are aware of the foundational issues fast approaching while this large public company has already acted through acquisition to offer a direct liquid cooling solution to its customers. This solution comes at a higher Capex cost yet the long term Opex savings on energy expenses will more than justify that cost over time as compared to current methods using indirect cooling via air as the heat transfer medium. For the many here that have and still work and live in the heat and noise of datacenters removing one of the two will be a win, also direct liquid cooling is likely to reduce noise as well as fewer fans are needed to move air.

I also believe that in time, given the creativity of our species, that someone will devise an applied use for this captured heat in liquid just as some landfills pipe venting methane to local heavy industries for revenue instead of just wasting it via flared burn off.

Surreal times but this also brings significant opportunity of which energy savings will be top of mind for many.

A town along the water in Maryland founded in 1694 that has documented colonial roots as well with being present in water way form on the only known Native American Chesapeake Bay hand drawn deer hide map, 1590-1620, which still exists in a British museum.

The history here over time is extremely vast and I have been very fortunate in my walks to have located many items related to that history. Speaking only to the Native American finds I have located hundreds of points of vast variety, many hundreds of tools large and small along with objects no expert can explain yet they know to be Native American from their workings. With each tide change the shoreline is manipulated thus revealing more while covering the things missed until another tide change.

One's mind may be curious to ask also of what other things I have found and foregoing specifics I can say as a lead on to those curious that one of the first railroads in the US terminated at the waters edge behind my location. And on that railroad it has been documented that U.S. Presidents, Kings and Queens, Daniel Boone, Benjamin Latrobe, Lafayette and more road those rails and therefore stood on this ground I now walk. Not to far from that railroad was the county's first tavern which hosted those riding the rails and served them libations in bottles while along that journey.

The British landed behind my location too during the War of 1812 and burnt a small supporting outpost town and many boats very near that railroad. In 1999 a water based archeological dig was conducted where a British boat was discovered along with many items in the vessels hull from that era.

I left much out but this alone should reflect the quantity and quality of the items I have found. I have literal buckets of finds and even more buckets of items I have yet to sort.

I have one yes but I rarely take it given the overwhelming amounts of false signals from iron, ironstone, and slag. There are so many surface finds with each tide change that the added human effort of swinging and digging quickly fades.

Walking and finding history if your location has such history to offer to find.

People pay vast accruing cumulative sums over time to go to the gym and my exercise pays me with every single walk. Some of that modern human history I have found dates back hundreds of years in the form of coins and bottles while some of the native human history I have found dates back 10 thousand years. I cannot neglect the fossils either as the oldest I have found reviewed by an expert is said to be Paleozoic tabulate coral being over 251 million years aged.

Thanks to gravity everything lost in the past is under our feet and as digitalization has taken over our global society, created by some of those reading this here, there are not many folks walking let alone looking. I found my first item over 14 years ago now and while my partner HATES the aggregate volume of the things I have collected she cannot neglect the uniqueness, rarity and value of some of those items. Every single walk inspires real motivation however one needs their health first to take that walk.

Stay Healthy!

Several recent HN posts about "time" and these correlate superbly in relation to the now obvious, to nearly all, global energy issues. Those proactive in a reactive world are often mocked and laughed at until as such passage of time is achieved for those only reactive to learn of the proactive's hindsight choices. For those in the United States aware of the 'behind the scenes' energy grid issues this insight reflects that prices will not be dropping for those electrons we all so depressively require daily just like our air and water. Energy grid decentralization is occurring with the actions of each individual and this article supports exactly that because no one alive can survive in our modern world without those electrons. "Necessity is the mother of invention" only now resonates for some while the futurists here that acted long ago acutely understand this growing trend.

This share link has direct ties to my current technology designs I am developing but since the majority of systems work goes unseen many do not care as nearly all just want it to work when they need it. Design always changes over time yet many neglect to consider time within their moment of thought and thus those who fail to comprehend the long term need of such security changes. I have been fortunate to have lived and been involved in this change several times in my life and comparable too exactly this design change are the countless folks in the mid 1990's that told me no one would be buying things online as I architected and developed an online payments platform. After many decades of building secure technologies, some of which that has been acquired, this security critical technique addresses a growing problem that is impacting everyone, even those not yet connected.

What you cannot see matters most!

First and foremost, grateful for the ability to take and give to this HN community for what HN has done for me. With that stated I am reminded near daily when reading posts on HN of my experience, my age, and some of my now lost hair color.

After nearly 3 decades of critical technology systems architecture and management involving ongoing industry audits my experience and age knows why my hair has lost some of its color. Much of that lost color comes from security management of third party systems, yes the old dreaded dependencies. Elimination of those third parties is key for one's cyber sanity and hair color yet with technology still in its infancy some cannot distinguish the forest from the trees.

Nothing remains the same as progress moves forward correcting for past mistakes while learning what works and does not along that journey, technology platforms are no exception. Analogously early automobiles lacked safety features as well such as windshield wipers and seatbelts so has the passage of time proved their addition to be valued? Few people today truly understand how things work as nearly all just want the instant fix "pill" to alleviate their issues however this approach cannot work with security. True security is designed in from the foundation and such secure platforms go unseen yet we have an endless list of victims from those insecure systems which have "bolted on" security after the fact. This security change and more is coming to system designs as the entire world is now fully aware of cyber security, or in this case, the lack of it.

Time, the young fail to consider it up until a single moment in their life, while the old reflect on where theirs went. After the reflection of one's time however change becomes obvious.

And the verbiage that many will glance over yet will have the greatest future impacts for all alive is: "...includes an energy storage system..."

Todays U.S. meeting "Roundtable on Ratepayer Protection Pledge" with the U.S. President himself leading that meeting garnished commitments from Big Tech as it relates to energy. In time Big Tech Energy divisions will be thing and some citizens will be paying their utilities bill to them.

Appreciate the URLs that reflect what some already know because I can just walk behind my house located along the Chesapeake Bay and see the real world physical impacts that are unfolding from the melting ice.

For those curious the water is not perpetually always higher as the attention seeking north east west south sites project but it is instead contributing to greater tides and thus greater erosion within the weather timing of those tides. These tides are well above what used to be "typical" within known past human time and the very high tides timed against significant weather events are greatly eroding the shoreline. As stated herein a few days back however, erosion brings significant lost items out of the soil which then become new discoveries for those aware to look. Having taken several multi hour shoreline walks in the past few days I have located quite a number of those Native American lost items as my collection significantly grows.

I ask the question: Is it human comprehendible data that has the value?

So would this issue still exist if the data was not human comprehendible yet a system still functioned 100% as needed?

The outlier technologists among us may read between my written lines with piquéd interest while the majority will likely just balk making claims based on lack of knowledge and awareness. For those looking to balk save your time in responding because analogously we no longer drive Ford Model Ts either and in time so too will system designs significantly change to answer the issues created by todays limited technology architectures.

Whether it be in the water you drink, the air you breath, or the technology platforms you rely on; What you cannot see matters most!
