Trump didn't get given any jet. The gift was to the United States

Only this gift is solely for the use of Donald Trump, during and even after his presidency.

crash it insurance job ill give any one a 747 if you can afford to keep it going.

matt Armstrong does give his rebuilds away even for a 1 quid ticket so then you have a 100k problem most sold them as cant afford to insure it.

and where does all the oil come from to make jet fuel pmsl give it to me ill land it on a dual carriage way might loose a few bits tho

vtol 747 needs more power

Malaria researchers at OHSU announce breakthrough that could save untold lives
Researcher cites federal funding, now under threat from the Trump administration, as making ‘every difference’ in their work
"The researchers found that malaria-infected mosquitoes that landed on the surface of materials treated with compounds spearheaded by Riscoe’s team were cured of the parasite after absorbing the compounds through their legs.
Instead of treating humans infected with malaria, in other words, the approach treats the insects carrying the parasite.
And they intend to use bednets — commonly used in the Southern Hemisphere to protect people from being infected with malaria — to do it. "

We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.
The emissions from individual AI text, image, and video queries seem small—until you add up what the industry isn’t tracking and consider where it’s heading next.

I use AI almost every day, so I do expect that energy consumption of AI in datacenters will grow and grow each year. However, I reckon that AI offsets that energy consumption against lesser use of more power hungry laptops and desktop PCs because you can use AI on your phone instead of going to your laptop or desktop PC. I have a dedicated PC that I have been using to run AI locally. It's hardly in use now because I find it more convenient to go online. Compare the amount of electrity my phone uses against that of my AI PC, 64 cores and tons of memory. That is one or two orders of magnitude in energy savings.
Google announced that the number of tokens they process went up 50x in one year. However, in the same year, their Ironwood (TPUv7) offers massive leaps in compute (5x), HBM capacity (6x), and power efficiency (2x) over their 2024 Trillium (v6). Performance is estimated to be within 5% of an Nvidia B200, despite TPUv7’s single primary compute die design. The v7 delivers 4,614 TFLOP/s peak performance. In a few years, virtually everyone on earth is going to use AI daily. It will become as an essential resource as the internet has been.
