Let’s take it easy

Welcome to the WC, wherein you’re trapped in my mind for eight to ten minutes weekly. Actually, a bit less today.

Over the holidays, we dug into the ​best​ and ​worst​ alternative investments of 2024. And soon (I promise), you’ll get my look ahead to 2025.

But I’m traveling this week and don’t have time to do it properly.

So here’s a quickfire look at a few things I’ve found interesting over the last fortnight or so.

Let’s go.

3. A dive into AI’s energy requirements from the guy who called the solar revolution ages ago. He also ​wrote this trilogy​, which was pretty good.

4. Real estate prices have started coming down. Is it the right time to buy? The ​NYT has a great calculator​ to help you choose. It’s paywalled, so ​check out these free options​ if you’re not a subscriber.

5. Where do scientific breakthroughs come from?

You’ll be surprised.

6. FARTCOIN now has a market cap of over $1 billion.

This coin does nothing

All I can say is that I’m sorry.
