Air power experts: I am interested in writing something that looks at sixth-gen combat air programmes around the world. In terms of design, technology, size, cost, range, capability trade-offs: what are they converging on, how are they diverging, & why? Thoughts & reading recommendations welcome.

Currently experimenting with JITR (Just-in-Time Recovery). It's when symptoms from a heavily debilitating illness fade away leaving room to health euphoria, right before an important deadline with multiple submissions. 🧪

Striking how this column is largely whining and absolutely ZERO explanation of how the tariffs are in any way related to or risolutive of the cause of the whining. For an FT column, I’d say know your audience a bit better. On the other hand ofc it can also be there’s nothing to say about that.

Looking forward to Apple reconsidering that planned obsolescence thing they used to do.

I actually think this might be the only meaningful global response. Trump’s idiocy is rooted in a belief that everybody needs the US, but the US don’t need anybody. It can be proven false real quick.

I made an AI notice that the second reference it provided in its answer is irrelevant to its argument. The AI said sorry for the oversight, and corrected its answer by renumbering reference number two to number one.

I theorize there’s a positive correlation between aging and excitement to get back home. Surely somebody’s already proven it, but apparently only now I am aging sufficiently to notice.

1st Law of the US admin: Adding or removing appointees from the cabinet alters the internal absurdity of the system. Corollary: Unfortunately, total absurdity is NOT conserved. 2nd Law: Absurdity never decreases. 3rd Law: Absurdity becomes constant as total cabinet intellect approaches zero.

Truly remarkable to see EU research institutions stating that the US administration is now curbing scientific research, and discuss what opportunities and risks lay ahead. I repeat: the US is *CURBING* scientific research. We are living in an alien world.

Is this an opportunity for Canada and the EU to further strengthen their economic relations in spite of US silliness?

A first step. How it will happen is to see. SURF’s got a ball to pick up and I’ve heard they are already looking into it. But change requires talent (to build it), and willing stakeholders (to showcase it); a concrete program must focus on bringing these together. Start with Uni’s.

Probably noteworthy to mention that the Dutch government has confirmed a 2.5B euro investment to strengthen the semiconductor industry in NL, with the Eindhoven region and @tue.nl playing a major role in it. It’s called Project Beethoven, and it’s already happening.

Travel to the US is expected to slide by 5%, contributing to a $64 billion shortfall for the travel industry, according to Tourism Economics which had originally forecast a 9% increase in foreign travel, but revised its estimate to reflect “polarizing Trump Administration policies and rhetoric.”

Looking forward to European ministries of internal affairs to release a “travel only if necessary” travel advisory for the US.

“Ukrainians are rallying around their president in ways that Mr Trump could only dream about. The poll finds that 72% of Ukrainians strongly or somewhat approve of their president’s job-performance; Mr Trump is at 46%, according to The Economist’s tracker.”
