Elon Musk claims to have finished a 100,000-strong H100 cluster in four months. How likely is that?

0% contained, how could they possibly make an estimate (especially that precise) at this point?
This sounds too high. Unlike mosts places in US, most of the value of a CA home in high rent locations like Palisades is in the LAND, not the structure. So if your $5m home burned down, you don't have $5m of damages. You have roughly $2m of damages/cost to rebuild the

this is definitely a lowball, even from the time they made the estimate.
Just put it on Gavin Newsom’s tab.

It's possibly the biggest #airpollution-deaths study in India 11 years, 655 districts, 16.6 million deaths
Seems like a big number until you realize it’s less than half of what we have given Ukraine since the war with Russia started.
It’s almost a moot point. Most of what burned is impossible to rebuild under today’s building codes. 18-24 months to pull permits in the best of times and best of circumstances, assuming no bribery.
In real dollar terms, probably not. London, Chicago, Rome, WW2 Tokyo, Berlin, the list goes on. All likely much more expensive in real dollar terms.
What are the odds the next financial downturn is going to be from a climate disaster taking out a chunk of the insurance industry?
Better call Saul Luigi bc many are about to get robbed by these insurance companies

A corporation that would rather shut down and lose tens of billions of dollars rather than have the CCP lose control over it, isn’t a corporation.
It’s an intelligence operation.

Every kid in the US learns of the Great Chicago Fire (2,112 acres) in school and how modern building codes & fire depts have made this impossible, yet both the 2023 Lahaina & the current Palisades Fire crossed 17,000 acres - 8x the size!
I marked up a map of Chicago to compare.
