The first IndyCar rookie of 2026 enters the fray, bringing a seismic realignment with him. Could more be about to earn their way in through strong tests? Find out in my latest newsletter:

Has this been a bad Petit Le Mans, or is Peacock repeatedly shitting its pants ruining things for me?

Hey chat is it bad when bet your entire economy on a business model that depends on financially unsustainable infrastructure?

“I had previously assumed a 10-year depreciation curve, which I now recognize as quite unrealistic based upon the speed with which AI datacenter technology is advancing,” Kupperman wrote. “Based on my conversations over the past month, the physical data centers last for three to ten years, at most.”

In his previous analysis, Kupperman assumed it would take the tech industry $160 billion of revenue to break even on data center spending in 2025 alone. And that’s assuming an incredibly generous 25 percent gross margin — not to mention the fact that the industry’s actual AI revenue is closer to $20 billion annually, as the investment manager noted in his previous blog.

“In reality, the industry probably needs a revenue range that is closer to the $320 billion to $480 billion range, just to break even on the capex to be spent this year,” Kupperman posited in his updated essay. “No wonder my new contacts in the industry shoulder a heavy burden — heavier than I could ever imagine. They know the truth.”

Kupperman called that gulf between tech industry spending and actual revenue in 2025 “astonishing.” However, it doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface. For example, how does it all shake out when we account for 2026, when hundreds of new data centers are expected to pop up?

“Adding the two years together, and using the math from my prior post, you’d need approximately $1 trillion in revenue to hit break even, and many trillions more to earn an acceptable return on this spend,” he writes.

LLMs are doubly deceptive. Most people think that they can ask it a question and get an answer. The majority of the rest think that you can ask an LLM a question and it will return what an answer might look like, statistically.

But it's actually even worse. It doesn't "read" the prompt; it guesses.

Friendly reminder that charter schools only exist to operate for profit and eliminate their accountability to any form of educational standards they didn’t set for themselves, while also siphoning tax revenue generated by families to rob both homeowners and their children’s future en masse.

I'm all for transparency, but the end goal here is forcing charter schools on people who cannot afford charter schools

My deep-red #MAGA Trump/McConnell voting county has posted this on the county school system's landing page. Yes, our public schools are really struggling--we homeschool--but this is dirty pool. These schools suck by design because MAGA wants them to suck. MAGA hates #publicschools & #education

The promotion of pseudoscience about a supposed “cause” or “cure” of autism and the destruction of special education (and all of public education, really) are part of the same project. It is a fascist attempt to expel certain people from the body politic, based in eugenics.

Sara Partridge, Ph.D. @sarapartridge.bsky.social · 6h

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

Studies across 14 nations show 25% to 30% rate of long COVID

Among the 25% of participants in 1 study who said they experienced long-COVID symptoms, 13% reported sleep disorders.
