“If this machine is good enough to find errors in Lancet trials and Nature papers, it is good enough to find them in a PhD thesis written by a sleep-deprived graduate student in 2015, and that graduate student was me.”
A preview of the power of agentic metascience.

Some analyses of old NASA data and a generic recipe is also given.

Since Vivek is in the news again, I am forced to re-up my investigation into his tennis claims. TLDR, the only source for him being a nationally ranked player is him, and the press just repeats it without looking into it. Also, I'm aware that no one cares about this but me
K, I've watched several videos of @VivekGRamaswamy playing tennis. He's for sure decent. I, however, do not believe for a minute that he was a "nationally ranked junior" as so many stories state. I can't even find an Ohio ranking, although he looks good enough to make it here.

Dan Bilzerian, an early Instagram superstar, got into the vape business with help from his father, a Wall Street legend and convicted felon. Then things got weirder. bloomberg.com/news/features/…

I've been storing this one for quite a while!
We now officially supply chemically pure grade methane in California with our partner @westairgases. Photos are with our first externalized six pack during the spring.
An insane amount of hard work went into making this happen. I ch about the blood sweat and tears of the last five years but this milestone makes it particularly sweet.

Terraform is hiring! If you're an ambitious technically minded savant, Terraform is an incredible place to get exposed to every aspect of building a hardware business from sales and hiring to design test and analysis!

These guys are about to send a giant mirror into space. Some people love the idea. Others hate it. But you can't deny that these two are extraordinary badasses and thoughtful humans.

"Their machine was the size of a school bus. It rested half-in, half-out of the ground like a whale’s back, a riotous beast of the deep now warming in the Illinois sun."
I'm hooked, @geoffmanaugh. Halfway through . . .

Stoked to have new fiction out about two brothers in rural Illinois who build a tunneling machine from abandoned farm equipment, then set off together under the Mississippi. Part Mark Twain, part Jules Verne—the Wright Brothers of the American underground. nautilus.plotter.cc

Just a friendly reminder that Jason Arday fabricated his “interviews” in a 2018 study and then crafted a misleading correction to conceal this when he was called out on it five years later. retractionwatch.com/2026/07/27/cam…
