The higher the voltages it can handle, the faster it can switch efficiently, and the better the thermal performance, the wider its potential applications in power electronics.

Melatonin 1mg 2 hours before bed worked for me in combination with wrap-around orange glasses (that filtered all blue light from screens and lighting) for the last 2 hours before bed. Also take magnesium and chamomile tea regularly, that layer on top.

Individually nothing works, but the combination crossed a tipping point for me with radical change.

The SNP have won a lot of seats through the voting system because the other parties split the non-independence vote. The SNP have never had a majority of votes, even with an overwhelming majority of parliamentary seats.

Not a new thing.

"a 2024 study by researchers at Clemson University has estimated that 4% of content relating to independence were linked to one Iranian-backed bot network of around 80 accounts."

Speaking as a Scot, I would expect there are those who support attempts to break up the UK who care zero about Scotland. Who's ultimately behind it is speculative.

As a Scot, I would assume it's an attack on the UK by supporting attempts to break up the UK. That seems credible. Who's behind it, is speculative.

Dr James Tour posted his recent presentation suggesting doing compute in memory could save energy, and that they have a way to do it that's TRL Level 4.

I put the top 250 lines from my unwieldy todo.txt into an AI and asked for advice, and I could jump for joy with the simplified list of priorities it generated. I think this could become my daily habit.

The best thing in their favour is how standardized and simple a wind turbine tower is. They know the requirements and their customers. It's much easier than a skyscraper, and it might let them start to scale production of the materials so they become more attractive to other applications.

However there is growth in mass timber construction generally. People are competing to build taller and taller timber skyscrapers.

"Steel is very strong per volume, so steel is a good choice when strength per volume is one of the main constraints. However, wind turbine towers are essentially empty inside so there is room to increase the volume by making the walls thicker. The Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) material in a Modvion tower has higher strength per weight and higher strength per cost than steel alternatives."

Strength per volume versus strength per weight is an interesting trade-off. They're arguing this could let towers get taller.

Cynical theory, the UK is now full of the descendants of all those who said "Emigrating? That will never work", and that's set the culture. Grafters and optimists have had many opportunities to leave over recent centuries.

If a 300mm wafer is 125g, that's $200k per kg. Right now gold per kg is $61,562.
